second time around

Not only do you get a naked bum pic of Addie, you also get to spy the baby bump that has shown up! The second time around the nausea has been way worse and the bump has shown up faster. I think it took me 4 months to look like this with Addie not two months like this time around. I've already pulled out the belly bands. The worst part is having to eat like someone who doesn't care about food. I can only stomach a limited selection and have no desire to prepare interesting meals or even go out to eat at restaurants. Friday night I just ate the macaroni and cheese with broccoli I made for Addie (Cora had the day off!). I've been eating fruit, salad, cereal, and anything else cold three meals a day all week. It's getting boring! I even took out a box of my favorite brownie mix from Trader Joe's to make for a treat and couldn't bring myself to make it after the thought of brownies grossed me out. What the? It's terrible.

All I can hope is that the second trimester will work it's miracles on me and my stomach. A bit more energy would be appreciated as well.
