Food sucks! Nothing, let me repeat... NOTHING tastes good!! Let alone sounds good. A couple weeks ago the only thing I wanted to eat was health foods. Fruits. Veggies. Spinach. Nuts. Water. I was psyched that those were the foods I seemed to be craving. Now they even taste blah! I am literally forcing myself to eat 3 meals + an occasional snack. I didn't even enjoy a bowl of ice cream yesterday! WHY ME! WHHHY!!! At least the food I am forcing down is staying down.
Chris has finished one week of Airborne. Two more weeks to go!! This weekend he is going to Kari and Andy's and they are going rock climbing. He has wanted to get into rock climbing for some time so I am excited for him. I think it is a sport we would both love. Maybe next year I can try my hand.
Jake is loving the yard. I tried AGAIN yesterday to get a picture of him sunning his tummy. No luck. He decide to roll over and chew on his bone.

Chris and Jaime,
Well congratulations on the big news!!!
My prediction is a boy!!!
Believe it or not you will feel better. The first trimester is hard with having morning sickness but it won't last long... so hang in there.
love
Aunt Cindy
You not wanting to eat? What? Wow! What about spinach artichoke dip? Does that even sound yuck to you? Just a small price to pay for such a wonderful joy. Believe me, it's worth it.
I'm hanging in there Aunt Cindy. Thanks. :) Boy, huh. Last night I had a girl dream. So I am starting to change my mind.
I know this will all be worth it. That is my motivation to actually eat. I want this baby to be strong and healthy. Even if "it's" mother is blah. Oh yeah, and to answer the spinach artichoke dip. If I have to fix it. I don't want to eat it. Weird huh?
Yeah, pregnancy just sucks at the beginning. I remember trying to find something that even the thought didn't make me want to gag. Nothing tasted good. I mistakenly thought that it would be better if I could throw up. Um, no. Throwing up did not help at all. Ugh. It will get better. And, of course, it is all worth it in the end when you hold your sweet baby.
I have no feelings on what you are having, but, since Ashlyn is not a boy, my powers of prediction apparently suck.
Oh, the not having to cook it thing makes perfect sense to me. Allen would ask what we were having for dinner, and I would say anything I don't have to cook. Don't worry, in a few weeks you will find something that you can't get enough of. Hopefully, it will be someting healthy.
Ya - cooking things while pregnant sucks! I made a HUGE pan of lasagna for a dinner party and then was so sick of the smell by the time it was done, I couldn't even take it with me. The thought of having it in the same car with me made me want to hurl! Yuck. Just thinking about it makes me cringe.
Not cooking is not really an option, with Chris gone. Two more weeks!! By then I will almost be done with my 1st trimester.
I think next week I am going to go out to eat more.
I remember the lasagna night. You were supposed to come to my house. WWF night.
Yeah, don't cook. Definitely go out to eat!
My worst first trimester moment was when I was lying on the floor in the dining room begging John to just throw me some beef jerky for dinner. I didn't even want the beef jerky, but I had heard that protein helps take away the nauseousness! I wanted to be in there talking to him while he ate dinner, but I couldn't even stand up. BLAH! I understand!
Jamie! (And Chris, too of course)
Congratulations! It's been a long time since we've talked- Fortunately Jill (Courtney Saunders- it's so weird not to hear about her as Jill Butcher) forwarded your blog to Jill (my sister) who forwarded it to me.
I know how you feel with the blah's and no energy. It'll be back (both your apetite and the energy) in a few more weeks! Get the sleep while you can, though... conserve energy- your body is making you tired for a reason, you know.
If you're having girl dreams, you're probably having a girl, and the feelings that you're having a girl will get stronger, too. When I was late in the first trimester, I constantly had dreams of baby boys, plus I could only come up with names for boys. No one knows better than you what you'll have!
