Baked Potato Soup

We are getting to the middle of the first trimester, I hope, and the morning sickness seems to be getting worse - or maybe just different. I have also developed a very strong sense of smell which is sometimes good and sometimes it makes me lose my cookies, Jake (the husband and father to be) always smells really good so when he gets home from work I like to cuddle with him and my bucket. Foods on the other hand all smell horrible, like gag reflex kicks in if I even stand nest to the kitchen.

Speaking of food, gross, breads and water seem to no longer sit well with me, but baked potato soup and Chipotle seem to stay down! Success, especially because pretty much everyone knows I love Chipotle.  

One other not so fun part of the whole water-wont-stay-down bit is that I am dehydrated, I have a history of dehydration so this is not good news for me. Luckily, there are some amazing nurses in my family and my Grandmother came over to administer some fluids to me last night, she will also be returning tomorrow to administer some more. That is me one the left, looking as pathetic as ever, and that is my Grandmother on the right setting up the IV.

Animal Crackers and Water

About two weeks ago I started feeling nauseous, and I blamed it on the stress of moving, getting married and living in a house under construction. The nausea did not go away and started to get progressively worse and that is when my new husband of just over a month found out that I am pregnant.

We were shocked, excited, scared, and very very unprepared - and it explained why the only thing I could keep down is animal crackers.

So here we are, my name is Maria and my husband is Jake and we now have a little Baby E on the way.
