How am I Feeling?

When people who know I'm pregnant ask me how I'm feeling, I want to answer, "Like death."  But since that seems to be an inappropriate response for someone who is growing two babies, I usually respond, "I feel awful."

The only thing I don't like about the awful response is that it doesn't acurately capture how I'm really feeling.  So, as I was driving to my appointment today feeling especially horrid and thought of the perfect comparison.

I feel like Bella from Twilight.  When she was pregnant.  And you thought she was going to die.



And you get a really good picture of how I feel on the inside if you also saw the movie.  Except my legs are not that skinny.

Let me explain.  Bella had no appetite and food made her ill.

Check.

She lost weight.

Check.

She was finally able to drink blood.

Not checked.  That made me gag just thinking about it!  But I have been eating a lot of tomato soup...

Basically, I feel like a nauseous dog turd run over twice.  I'm not hungry at all and nothing sounds good to eat.  Certain foods seem tolerable, but not tasty.

My doctor today told me this was normal and I'd probably be feeling better in 2-3 weeks.  I hope and pray that she's right because if this is how I'm going to feel through the whole pregnancy, I'm not sure I can make it!
