Symptoms

I've been avoiding buying the "What to Expect When You're Expecting" book because I didn't want to sympomize myself - meaning, read a symptom and then make myself feel that way. If I'm not feeling sick, why put the thought in my head that I should be feeling sick?! But Todd wants to follow along and be educated so whenever I say something like "I have a weird taste in my mouth that won't go away", he'll reply with..."that's in the book!". So after 4 days of that, I broke down and bought the book. Here are the symptoms I've been living with since the nosebleed:

• Exhaustion. I have been SO tired! I was hoping it was due to my holiday parties and cold and busy holiday season but while I wasn't working the past few days I have just slept and napped and slept some more. We had to leave the house this weekend and go do activities because if I didn't I would be plopped sleeping on the best recliner in the world. 
• Nausea. Constant nausea. I haven't thrown up so I wouldn't call it "morning sickness" but I have a constant twinge in my belly that doesn't feel good. I've read that some people lose weight their first trimester because of nausea. Mine is opposite - it's the feeling that "if I eat something my tummy will feel better". So I've been snacking a lot and taking Tums and drinking lots of fluids.
• Food aversion. Our house is full of food- our pantry is always stacked and our fridge is loaded with snack stuff. But nothing sounds good to me, at all. I don't have cravings for anything but nothing sounds good either. And when I do eat a meal I get full so quickly, the gross-full feeling and I'll only have eaten about half of what I usually would eat. And a lot of things aren't tasting good anymore. 
• Bras and boobs in general - they're huge. Bigger than normal, and so very painful. Todd was reading in the book how they can get so big and they'll get even bigger...not looking forward to that. I already don't want to put a bra on, and he said the book recommended wearing a bra to keep them from sagging and hurting. I'll have to go out and buy some new comfort bras since I'm spilling out of the ones I own.

Other than that, I've been pretty OK. It was depressing this morning getting ready for work. For the past 3 weeks I've worn jeans, sweatpants, or other comfortable/baggy clothes. I put on work clothes this morning and my pants (that used to be my big pants) are tight for me. I think it's too early to not fit into my clothes...but probably has to do with the bloating and snacking and drinking so much. It was a sad morning to realize at 7 weeks pregnant I am running out of things to wear because maternity clothes are not cute :(
