BREAD.

I could never comprehended the fatigue and morning sickness of pregnancy until I was pregnant myself.

Bless all of the women who came before me, my appreciation for you has never been stronger!

I'd consider week 6 and 7 to be the hardest weeks so far. I had practically no appetite whatsoever, and had to eat the smallest meals. (They were also really bland- saltines, bread, soup, gatorade, etc.) With nausea and morning sickness, larger meals tend to irritate my stomach. But unfortunately, that means I get hungrier more often.

At the beginning of pregnancy, I used to wake up in the middle of the night twice to go the bathroom. My achy stomach didn't help one bit since I struggled to fall back asleep for over an hour...

Can you guess what would happen in that period of time while I tried to fall asleep?

First, I would get HUNGRY. 

I would try my darnedest to try and go back to sleep and ignore my stomach growling

But I gave in and would grudgingly walk to the kitchen to get myself a piece of bread.

I would happily munched down my bread! But then after I settled back into bed after 15 minutes or so, I would get thirsty. I usually had a glass of water by my bed side, but by the time I had gotten up the second time, it would be gone.

Once again, I tried my darnedest to try and go back to sleep and ignore my parched throat! But of course, I would give in shortly after.

I'd walk to the kitchen to get myself some orange juice (since I heard citrus helps with morning sickness) and drank it. ...But on this specific day (May 31st), I made a momentous decision.

I grabbed the loaf of bread with me, JUST IN CASE I got hungry and didn't want to get up again to get another slice.

It's *bed bread, y'all.

Bread, on the floor next to my bed! An amazing discovery!

Now that it's been two weeks and I have so much more wisdom of combating morning sickness... I have bread next to my bed every night.

I have never received such comfort from bread in my life. 

Bread cat, just because I love bread.

Can't wait to see what amazing discovery I'll figure out next!
