Symptoms

Each pregnancy truly is different. With Ellie, I felt very tired and didn't have any nausea until towards the end of the 1st trimester. The nausea came on and off during the afternoon and got worse in the evening. I used to throw up my medicine and vitamins most every evening and got up at least twice in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom.

With this pregnancy, I feel nauseated in the mornings or when my stomach is empty. I also feel hungrier sooner and crave a variety of foods, for instance last night, I asked my mom to make Korean style chicken noodle soup...twas delicous!

I've also been very very sleepy. Yesterday I slept at 9pm with Ellie. It's so funny because we both woke up in the middle of the night at the same time...Ellie wanted her blanket...I had to pick my nose...as my sister will testify, the membranes in your nostrils can swell and make it difficult to breathe for pregger women. And Jae will also testify that I've become much more moodier than normal. He's got a long road ahead of him.

Ellie is also feeling the effects of my pregnancy. Today, she craved popcorn for some reason so I asked my husband to buy some popcorn on the way home...along with some banana milk. Of course we have bananas and milk, but no blender. We are becoming that sort of family. Gads!

I'm beginning to wonder if I'm having twins. Double gads!
