21-11-2008 - 6 week pregnant and coffee aversion?

My mood while writing this blog: tired

---

I don't know what it is but lately when I drink my morning cup of coffee I immediately feel nauseated. It's been both baffling and frustrating for me because I love coffee - my morning cup of coffee is what starts my day and I look forward to it when I wake up. I don't take it strong either, mixing hazelnut and french vanilla creamer in it. Out of everything I eat or drink, coffee is the culprit and it makes me sad because I know it would be so hard for me to give it up! When I was pregnant with my son, I immediately cut coffee out of my diet when I found out I was pregnant, just to play it safe. I was miserable for 2 months, and on the day starting my 13th week, I went to Starbucks and treated myself to my favorite coffee creation. And I never had problems with coffee for the duration of my pregnancy. What did I crave the most in that pregnancy? Frappuccinos. What does Liam love to have? Sips of my frappuccinos and coffee flavored ice cream. This time this little one just isn't a fan!

I've started my 8th week and have been feeling alright, besides the fact I've still got my cold. It's slowly getting better but because I can't take the better kind of medications that's why it's lingering so long. I am so excited for our ultrasound on Monday. When I was pregnant with Liam I worried all the time about just about everything. It also didn't help that my husband was in Iraq from the day I found out I was pregnant until I was 21 weeks pregnant. I also separated from the Air Force at that time so there was a lot of stress. This time around things are so much better - my husband is home and I don't have the stress of a military job. Now it's just keeping up with a 14 month old and staying on top of my classes. Now that the semester is wrapping up, I have a heavy work load but my husband has been great at taking Liam so I have the time to get assignments completed. Needless to say, I am too busy to think about being pregnant or worry about anything. I pray every night for this baby and leave it in God's hands.

It's official, I am going to have to start wearing maternity pants full time here within the next week. I am trying to wear my normal pants for as long as I can before I get into the unflattering belly pants, but it really isn't working for me anymore because they are so tight around my belly. The transition is and will be bittersweet.
