I must have jinxed myself ><

I have been feeling fantastic for the past few weeks. I got my energy back, switched prenatal vitamins which made the nausea/carsick feeling go away, and have just been doing great! Because of my miscarriage in September, whenever I'm feeling good I feel like something must be wrong. I'm actually so glad that my vitamin made me sick, because I thought it was morning sickness. If it hadn't been for that, I would have been much more worried for those first few weeks. So anyway because I had been feeling so good, I decided something must be wrong. I even talked to my mom about it and considered calling the doctor just to ask if it's normal to feel perfectly fine and not pregnant. Well, before I had a chance today hit. I worked late last night and woke up completely exhausted this morning. I spent the rest of the morning chasing the little girl I babysit around the house, which wore me out even more.

The kicker was the nausea that hit just as Bran and I were pulling up to the drive-thru window at KFC. It wasn't just gastric-uneasiness, either. It was full blown get-the-paper-bag-ready-I'm-gonna-pop nausea. I made it through the ordering process and went with some mashed potatoes and chicken fingers. Of those, the mashed potatoes were a hit, as mashed potatoes always are with me. Actually, give me potatoes of any kind - raw, french fried, baked, you get the idea - and I'll be happy. The chicken was a dumb idea, though, since chicken is the only thing I've had trouble eating since I got preggers. Usually I can eat it unless I was the one to prepare it. Something about the smell of raw chicken right now just ruins it for me. So anyway with the already feeling nauseous thing, chicken just didn't do it for me.

Thank the Lord for those mashed potatoes, though. Them taters and their brown gravy topping made my day.
