Can someone please hold back my hair...

"Every child born into the world is a new thought of God, an ever-fresh and radiant possibility."
~Kate Douglas Wiggin

One of the biggest fears I had of pregnancy was that I would experience tons of morning sickness... and everyone knows I HATE getting sick. I am well known for brushing my teeth if I get sick... so the idea of having to carry a toothbrush with me and brush my teeth several times a day was something I dreaded.

All the fun and gory details about morning (noon) (night) sickness:
I only experienced very mild nausea... but it was easily abated by eating a small snack (such as a granola bar). This was very short lived because once I discovered the art of taking prenatal vitamins before bed, I said goodbye to any type of nausea.

Times of day when I feel the worst:
IF I got "sick", it was normally between meals. I found eating a small snack between meals actually got rid of any nausea all together.

My stomach churns at the mere scent of: Nothing really causes me to feel ill from smelling it. The only things that have succeeded in making me feel a little ill were the smell of any type of nicotene related smoke, strong car exhaust or fast food joints that offer a variety of foods that don't smell appetizing together.

Foods that generally calm my belly:
Crackers, fruit, granola bars, milk, yogurt.

Cravings & Aversions - The First Trimester:
Cravings: Peanut Butter, spicy food, fruit
Aversions: None.

My philosophy when it comes to cravings:
give the belly what it wants, everyone is much happier that way.
The weirdest food craving I've had so far: 
I haven't really had odd cravings. Well, nothing I don't usually get a taste for once in a while.
