Pregnancy: week 16

Well, as of the beginning of this week, I passed the 4th month of pregnancy.  I'm still dealing with a bit of nausea every now and then, but I'm finally able to hold down more liquids without the queasiness coming on.

I wore maternity pants for the first time this week.  In spite of that horrid spandex maternity panel they all have, they don't look too bad.  And they are comfortable.  I can still wear several of my non-maternity shirts, although I do wear plenty of my new (used) maternity shirts too.

The dryness of mouth still plagues me, and I absolutely hate brushing my teeth.

Oh, and that glowing skin and hair you're supposed to have during pregnancy?  Nope.  I've got chapped lips, acne, and my hair is just.....blah.  I hate it for some reason.  I don't feel great.  Instead, I feel fat, lazy, and ugly.

Because of all that, I think I'm going to go shopping for new makeup.  I rarely wear makeup, but I do want to try just a little bit.  Oh, and I'm seriously wanting to dye my hair with henna.  I just want a slightly darker brown color with very slight auburn tint.  As it is right now, I'm starting to get blond streaks in my hair.  BLOND.  I'm horrified.

And, I've decided that my mom's canned green beans are definitely a comfort food for me.  Mmmm.... Yep, green beans.  But come on!  They're home grown, and I helped snap and can them last month.  That's a pretty good reason if you ask me!
