You might try spirulina for the exhaustion. It's hard to take, even in smoothies it is overpowering. But you can get it in capsules, too. I think Debi Pearl's daughter sells it on her website. There is probably a link from No Greater Joy.

I think it's acceptable if you want things to be done your way while you're pregnant. Pregnant women have that privileges for sure and around 8 months, it's all gonna be really worth it. You gonna have the cutest baby :)

Congrats on your pregnancy Snider family! I'm especially excited for your mom that she will be a Grandma (I'm on a board with your mom).

With my first pregnancy, I had itchies... horrible itching on my whole body. It was called PUPPS...or in my words, misery. (of course all worth it in the end). I now know that it is a liver issue, and taking milk thistle on a regular basis can take this away (not immediately, but it will start to get better as you take it). Milk thistle is safe during pregnancy... so try and get pure milk thistle, that is not combined with burdock, as burdock is NOT pregnancy friendly. (it is also ok if it is combined with dandelion... another liver detoxifier).

I hope you find some relief. Your pregnancy sounds like mine... eating makes everything better!

Snider babies are the best!

haha! this post makes me so giddy with happiness for you! I'd definitely say the pro outweighs the cons! ;)

Oh dearie, I remember those days! I promise that it will get better sooner. The second trimester is usually much easier on you. Right now, you're so tired because your body is making a placenta for your baby!! Isn't that marvelous?

The itching might have to do with the ultra dry air. Maybe you could get a humidifier? Or run your shower a few times per day for the moisture? Or put a pot of water on the stove for awhile?

I used motion-sickness wrist bands to help with my morning sickness. I don't know why, but they really helped! Hang in there!

Awww! If it's any consolation your amusing and witty writing style is still intact. : )

I wanted to drop by and say we're singing in Washington, PA in March. It would be fun if you and hubby could come to a concert and we could meet you guys. Hopefully by then you'll be feeling better?? Let's hope and pray so!
