First Trimester: June 19 - September 24, 2006

I didn't give my mom as much trouble as some babies do in the first 14 weeks. She was pretty tired and felt sick at the beginning, but it wasn't anything that a cruise to Alaska couldn't fix! Huh? What do I mean? Mom learned how to keep from getting sick from the all-you-can-eat buffet line on the cruise ship! She learned that if she went to the buffet 8-10 times a day and ate a tiny bit of food, she didn't feel sick at all. Oh yeah, she also needed to stay away from all the foods that I decided I didn't like: non-seafood meats (except Corner Bakery chicken salad), eggs, yogurt and orange juice. Favorite foods: caesar salad, baked potatoes and, oh yes, the typical baby craving -- dill pickles.
