A pretty sound

I was able to hear the baby's heartbeat yesterday at my appointment with the midwife! I'm 12 weeks today, and go back in 4 weeks. She said we'll get to hear the heartbeat at each visit from here on out.

Motivation

I have no desire to do most things right now, except lazy things like napping and watching T.V. I have a ton of stuff I need to do, but have put off. Yesterday I did mop the kitchen and dining room, and I did a load of laundry. I felt pretty accomplished. This isn't normally how I do things during breaks. I usually knit a lot more and clean a lot more. Of course, I've never been pregnant during a break either. Today I am going to do more. Maybe if I just try to do a little more each day it'll get easier.

Eating and energy

One thing that has really changed with pregnancy is eating. I went through about a two week phase where nothing sounded good, so I ate a lot of apple sauce and oatmeal. Then last Friday everything sounded good and I overate junk and felt sick that night. Nathan was really sweet and bought me Sea Bands and ginger ale, and I managed not to throw up. I'm trying not to make bad food choices like that again. Now I still don't know what I want to eat, and sometimes something sounds good until I get it, then I don't want it. For example, I thought I wanted mac and cheese tonight, so I made some and now it's a slow going effort to eat it. I'm nine weeks and one day, and I'm really hoping that the second trimester will be easier as far as this goes.

I'm also hoping I'll have more energy then, because I have been so tired and lazy lately. We've been on Christmas break, so I've taken a nap almost every afternoon and have still been going to bed early. It's going to be interesting going back to work and not having my nap time.
