How Are You Feeling?

Time period: when I first found out - up through week 13. Very nauseous. I've been very nauseous throughout the first trimester. Many smells bother me greatly. There is not a lot I can eat. What are my solutions? What has made me feel somewhat better, for short periods of time anyway, are the following: 1) seasickness wrist bands, given to me by my sister, Tara. She said this is the only thing that worked for her during her last pregnancy. I will say that I feel worse when I'm not wearing them. 2) Ginger ale. People say that ginger works to help nauseousness. This is all I can drink, along with water. I won't say that it combats nauseousness, but it maybe subsides it a little. 3) Saltines, 4) Dry toast. 5) Tums EX. A plus in taking Tums is that you get that extra dose of calcium, which is greatly needed in pregnancy and for older women, such as myself. I think I might've lost weight, or at least not gained any. A small bonus for all the sickness. I did not have this hugely nauseous feeling with Ainsley. I don't know how women are able to work while they feel this way. I'm also extremely tired. Then I went on Ainsley's class field trip. It was cold, windy, and rainy that day. We went to visit Heinz Field, the home of the Pittsburgh Steelers, and the Pittsburgh Zoo. We were outside for many hours. A couple of days later, I was sick. Sick with horrible sinus pain, a cold, and cough. This has been for about 4 days, and is hopefully subsiding. Unfortunately, I also passed my sickness onto Ainsley and Frank. Let's hope as we go into the second trimester, I will feel better.
