8 WEEKS

Yeah! I finally can eat! Yesterday was the first day where I actually had an appetite. And energy. I even took the girls to get haircuts and swimming. Major energy there. It felt so good to feel almost halfway normal. I stayed up until 11:30pm last night because I did not want the day to end for fear that I would feel bad again. But I feel pretty good today too.

If anyone knows me they know I have always loved pickles. When I got pregnant with Payton everyone joked on how could I possibly eat any more pickles than I already did. But I hated pickles pregnant. Same with Elly, I could not stand them. But this pregnancy, I started craving them a few days ago. And not just any. The really sour kind like at the state fair or at baseball games. That make your lips burn. Just writing about it is killing me! I also think someone is playing a sick joke. When I was pregnant in Nebraska I always craved Jack in the Box and Jamba Juice, which we didn't have. Here, we have both of those, but no, I want Jimmy Johns and Paradise. Which is 4 hours away. Oh well. Maybe I will make the drive one of these days!
