OK, so why don't I feel better now that I'm out of the first trimester? Been having raging headaches. Nausea is less frequent. Eh, I'll give it another week or so. Actually, I had a good day yesterday and today with only a brief headache.

A pregnant woman feels like a teen-ager at times because many of us start breaking out again, the worse thing that could happen to teens outside of breaking up.

One thing kicks in to make us feel like animals. Our sensitivity to smells heightens. Oh man, when things smell bad... they smell very bad. When things smell good, they smell too strong (perfume, for example). So I skip wearing perfume and be thankful the my cube is situated in the middle of the floor, far from the kitchens on both ends.

In the first pregnancy, I didn't sit close to the coffee maker, but I could smell it anyway. Even before I was pregnant, it stunk because it was made with half caf and half decaf. Nasty stuff. I abhored the smell of hot coffee during the first two pregnancies, but not so much this time. It could be that I'm not around it as much as I was previously.

Oh yeah, the pants are ready to bust. Actually, they still fit, but they become uncomfortable after a couple of hours. Guess it's time to dig out the boxes and wash the maternity clothes.
