The joys of first trimester

It has been a rough past couple of weeks for me here in the great city of Iquitos, Peru. Nothing could have really prepared me for pregnant life. I have had zero energy, and when I get to moving a lot I feel like I´m going to throw-up or have an overall sense of nasea.

Then there is the whole food issue. I feel hungry a lot, but most of my cravings fall under the food of my homeland, hence, it´s not readily available here. It doesn´t really matter though, because the thought of almost any food causes my stomache to turn or produces dry heaving. Then the heat… oh, the heat that took it out of me before pregnancy, now it is slow death. I am thankful for the eveings though that cool down and provide comfortable sleeping conditions.

Plus, on top of all this, my husband has been gone for all of it. The past two weeks he had his trip to the jungle that wasn´t smart for me to go on. I´m thankful I didn´t go, it would be aweful out there under these conditions. Nevertheless, I do miss the jungle greatly and long for the silence, calmness, and peace that it affords. More than that, I MISS MY HUSBAND!!! I can´t wait to see him sometime this weekend! Whenever that launcha gets in.

Due to the way I have been feeling, I have hardly gotten out this past couple of weeks, which makes life difficult for a girl like me. I do love being in for a time and relaxing (some), but I am no homebody.

All that to say, that would be the reason for my lack of posts. More later, when more is known.
