Afternoon Blues

Well it’s lunchtime here at the office, and here I sit smelling everyone’s lunches while the “afternoon-sickness” is hitting me hard.  I get nauseous everyday around this time, but I’m not use to it at all!  It might be easier if pregnancy hadn’t heightened my sense of smell, I feel like I have a super-power, I can tell you every ingredient in my fellow co-workers lunches everyday.  The smells have one of two effects…1: their lunch makes me want to hurl anything that is in my stomach or… 2: their lunch makes me starving but I know if I eat I’ll just throw it up in a minute of two. Both effects of my super-nose make my afternoons awful, especially when it’s coupled with that unpleasant wave of exhaustion. Here’s to hoping I can eat lunch again in a few weeks. I am staying positive through the fuzzy-haze of my 1st trimester with the thought of that special little baby that will be here in a few months, I know it will all be worth it!
