Blah!

Today is Thursday, December 21st, 2007. I am 7 weeks and one day. I have begun to get really tired every afternoon around 2p. It is really hard on me the days I work because I have to contain my tiredness and crankiness. But, the days that I'm off, I take about a 45 minute nap and then I'm perfect. But, honestly, the amount of tiredness I experience is almost to the point of feeling drunk and/or passing out.
Food tastes like BLAH. Nothing tastes the same. A few days ago, I was able to eat normal portions. But, now I can only eat in small portions. My day goes like this: Breakfast (cereal), applesauce or graham crackers at about 10:30, lunch at about 12:30 (soup and apple today), nap at 2p, pretzels and a cookie at 3p, 6p I had a salad and some spaghetti. The meat and sauce didn't taste normal, so I mainly had saucy noodles and didn't eat the meat. The only foods that are always okay right now are pastas, breads, crackers, and cinnamon applesauce.
I've been freaking out because I have gained 2 lbs since the implantation. I guess thats not bad, but I can't help but think about some of my friends and my cousin that gain a pound in the whole first trimester. I'm really scared about this idea that I'm supposed to gain weight. I've spent my whole life fighting weight gain, but now I'm supposed to be okay with it, but only gain it in certain amounts each trimester. Thats a lot of pressure! When is one supposed to even start wearing maternity clothes? I have no clue. Is it the 3rd or 5th month?
