Well honestly I have been leading a boring life... but I would rather have boring than emergency trips to the ER or unusual bleeding.
I'm in my second trimester and almost half way done with this pregnancy!! My first trimester I may have had a lot of medical issues but I didn't have any pregnancy symptoms. The only thing different was that I was extremely tired all the time. Now that I'm in my second trimester I have more symptoms. Food makes me nauseous and I'm hungry all the time.
The other day Devin's dad came down for the day and we went to Longhorn Steakhouse. The guys ordered steak and I was in the mood for "I'm starving and I don't know what to eat". so I ordered my usual chicken Parmesan. It came out and I wasn't hungry anymore. Then I took a bite. It tasted like the smell of raw chicken. I gagged it down and had Devin try it. He said it tasted fine, so I took another bite (this time smaller). It was almost worse. I just ate my mac and cheese side and sat for the rest of dinner. When the waitress came back and seemed shocked that I didn't eat my chicken. I explained to her that I was pregnant and that the baby didn't like it. A few minutes later she came out with a huge tray of chips and dip. She smiled and said it was complimentary and that I needed to eat something. As soon as she walked away I got a whiff of SHRIMP... it was some type of mexican shrimp dip. If anyone truly knows me they know how much I don't like seafood and the smell makes me sick right away. Well that almost made me lose my mac and cheese. I gave that dish to the guys too.
Another symptom that I have been having is acid reflux. All my life I have had mild acid reflux and now it's 1000 times worse. Every night at 9 ish my throat is on FIRE... I can't breathe and can't swallow. I take pills for it and have tried different kinds. I talked to my doctor and he said it just comes with pregnancy and to just take the pills. This is one thing I can't wait to be gone.
Well enough with pregnancy and on with the exciting life of Devin and Kaylynn. Devin works nights and I stay up with him. I usually can't stay up the whole night but I go to bed around 5 and he get's home at 7. We then sleep until 3ish and have time to make dinner, water the garden, do up the dishes, pack a lunch and get Devin ready for his next shift. Then he's out the door before 6. I then weed the garden, finish up cleaning the kitchen, maybe do a load of laundry and watch an episode on HGTV or the FOOD channel. We live in a single wide home. It's really nice but we live with 3 other guys. One works day shift and the other two work night shift... so to be nice and courteous I go to my room for the night. All night I sit in a tiny room with white walls. It makes me get cabin fever so easily. Usually from 8 to 5 watching Netflix and texting Devin. If I want something to eat (and as I mentioned before, I'm hungry all the time) I have to tiptoe to the kitchen with a flashlight just so I won't wake somebody. It's pretty much awful. But there is light at the end of the tunnel somewhere.... right? We will need to have our own place by the time the baby comes! :)
That is all that has been going on! :)
God be with you,
Kaylynn and Devin Jackosn

I can totally relate to Cabin Fever. Last semester I worked from home and was off track, so I pretty much never left the house. It got so boring and netflix get's old after a while! Power through it girly :) In just a few months your life will be so crazy with the new baby! You should probably enjoy your quiet time :)
