OK the very next day after we got our BFP!! I became so hungry it wasn't funny. I had this intense feeling that I would kill for food if I didn't get it. I mean it hurt. The term hunger pains is real. I use to get hungry and could wait until it was time to eat but this feeling would wake me up in the middle of the night. This feeling would keep me from sleeping. At first I thought it was all in my head since I just found out. Boy, did I find out that it wasn't just in my head, it was real. I was finding myself getting up in the middle of the night for something or I couldn't fall back to sleep. I finally remember what a friend told me. Keep crackers by your bed and eat right before bed so you don't wake in the middle of the night. That worked for a few days. It seems like every 2 days I get those strong hunger pains and nausea.
We went home for Thanksgiving on WednesdayNov 23. Matt was teasing me on how I couldn't keep this a secret if I was always eating. It was hard. My poor mother in law must have thought I was nuts or pregnant. Thanksgiving day I was so sick to my stomach I had to put wheat thins in my pocket to snack on through out church. I found that if I didn't keep something in my stomach I would be sick. When we got home I thought I was going to kill anyone and anything to eat. Dinner wasn't until 1 and it was only 12 noon. Dinner was not ready and I was snacking. My MIL thought something was wrong with me and kept telling me dinner will be ready at 1 and to stop asking. If she only knew I couldn't. When it did come to dinner time I savored it so much. It was like I had never had a turkey dinner before. It was so good. However, Matt thinks that his mother may be suspicious. I turned down a glass of wine at dinner. Between my hunger and that, I would be too. I wonder if they are thinking it. :)
Through out the entire weekend I had to tame my neasea with eating bananas, gatorade, altoid gum and altoid mints. I am surprised that no one said anything for my desire for those mints. I went through a whole tin of the gum and had to by more. From Milk shakes to mexican, my brother in law teased me. He kept insisting I was pregnant. Just say my appetite was healthy with a mint or 5 to follow. hee hee
The nausea seem to calm down by Saturday night and so far I am doing very well. I am still learning how to keep up with my voracious appetite. I don't know how those women do it. I am not a big eater and boy this is hard. I feel like I have to eat every 15 mintues.
