Preg Nancy

[charlz_lynn]

So far this is an interesting ride. I still feel like a science experiment and I likely will throughout this whole pregnancy. I really really wish I had brought "What to Expect When You are Expecting" with me. I did not, though, because I have been carrying it around for months not pregnant and it didn't feel good.
So. So far these are the things I have noticed that are drastically different, that may or may not be the result of my increased levels of progesterone:

• I am a total AIRHEAD! No, seriously, I am forgetting shit, feeling really disoriented, and zoning out at times when I need to be alert. This is not all the time, it comes in great whooshes of air in my head, then it calms down till the next one. Who knew?
• My skin on my face looks better than it has in a loooong time. I hope this is a trend.
• I don't want to eat as large of portions as I normally do, and I feel like I can't quite trust a burp after i eat. Like, maybe I will throw up, though I have not. Close, a couple times in the last two days.
• I am waking up very early. Like, Bam! Awake. And in the middle of the night. This could be because I am also sick and snotty and sore-throaty.  Dunno.

That's all I can think of right now. I want to have a book in my pocket telling me what to eat, though. I need to make some more small changes and I wish I had more resources right here with me to know what they are. I want a menu, basically.
