Doing better..

By the way.. Rach is doing a lot better since we got some decent meds.

Zofran seems to be doing the trick at this point.. and she only needs to take it about every other day when she starts feeling nauseous. Sometimes she tries not taking it until after she's emptied her tummy, because she'd much rather do without. I hate to know how we'd be dealing without this drug.. even as much as I hate the whole idea of medicating away problems.

Rach still is bothered by headaches, weakness, and incessant hunger most of the time.. but I suspect that's the more normal effects for a pregnant woman to be experiencing. She seems to be eating a lot of Chinese and Italian food, as these types of food are very much the kinds of foods she is familiar with back home. And they're really the only reasonably healthy and quick option for vegetarians when you need food straight away.

I keep trying to explore other options, but I'm afraid I'm not a very good cook to begin with. The biggest struggle for me is seasoning food appropriately. Rach and I both have very little experience with anything short of prepackaged seasonings. It's something I know we will grow into over time, but it's a little shocking that we're bringing a new one into the world without a good base of how to get the little one nourished. I guess that's what the gran-folks are for, to help establish some of those habits while the little one buys us some time with a propensity for liquid foods.

I sure hope the little munchkin likes Aussie.
