Gracie’s Life Experiment

Now the cat’s out of the bag, as it were, everything has gone very baby orientated.  So this week’s 10 things are symptoms I have encountered since becoming pregnant;

1. Excessive cravings for oranges or cheese on toast (not oranges on toast though)
2. Forcing myself to eat 1/2 a biscuit in the middle of the night to soothe the stomach
3. Being very tired ALL the time
4. Going to the loo lots (~2hr intervals including at night)
5. Massive mood swings. Angry, happy, sad, ecstatic, depressed all in about 40 seconds of each other!
6. I’ve become a bit girly (I’m usually so ungirly, but I found myself crying at films’ happy endings – yikes)
7. Sore stomach muscles (when I cough, sneeze, laugh too hard)
8. Massive headaches
9. 4pm nausea (I didn’t get morning sickness)
10. Immunity to hot foods (I can’t eat anything mildy spicy usually, but I ate a pizza with jalapenos on and didn’t even notice)

I’m so glad that I didn’t get morning sickness. I think I was actually only sick on about 4 occasions and they seemed to be on Thursdays for some reason.

Summary of the day: Went to doctor’s (got a chest infection), Was told to stay off sick for the rest of the week, Had to go into work for a meeting, Went home after lunch, Coughed guts up, Had a nap, Made the kitchen hygienic
