Well, I am one of the unfortunate ones whose skin does not improve with pregnancy. My face looks like it did when I was 19, and the worst part about it is that you cannot use a lot of the strong anti-pimple medications because they can cause birth defects. This is week 12, nearing the end of the first trimester but still no end seems in sight as I am still suffering from morning sickness. Going to work helps get my mind off of it but also causes me to stress so it is not the most positive thing. I am starting to get the dumb-i-fication of pregnancy: making mistakes and forgetting things, like the other day I literally asked my colleague Maureen, what's the month before June? I am assured that this gets worse as the months progress - great - that means you all can look forward to a lot of type-o's. I am also starting to have some wierd cravings - mostly for things somewhat unobtainable like things I ate growing up in Wauwatosa: Rocky Roccoco's pizza, the warm roast beef and cheese sandwich from Lalo's - the Italian take-out place on North Ave. up the street from where we lived at 2402 Pasadena Blvd. and cheese danishes from Kohl's - a grocery store, again up the street from 2402. We go to the doctor on Monday which I am excited for because it will be my first appointment with my ob - the dr. who will deliver my baby. We will also get another ultrasound and hear the heartbeat, so these will be exciting things we will share with you via the blog on Monday night/Tuesday.
