Upcoming end of first trimester

The past few days I have found my appetite. I realize that I need to eat when the nausea hits. I have to eat as soon as I wake up which is totally opposite than before pregnancy when I usually skipped breakfast.
After a few days of eating more I have a substantial amount more energy. This afternoon I was actually able to do some housework. Up until now I couldn`t even do the dishes or laundry for more than 5 minutes without needing to stop to lay down. I am very excited about these recent changes! It`s now 4 days since the last time I left the house. Something tells me that Marc isn`t going to let me make that 5. It`s really hard to leave the house when you feel at any moment you could throw up. I had a really hard time going to the grocery store a week and a half ago. I am usually car sick and motion sick and combined with the nausea it is at least 10x worse. It is just hard for me to validate that kind of discomfort in order to leave the house at this time.
My hope is that the second trimester will include much less nausea and much more energy. Everyone says that you feel the best during your second trimester and I am looking forward to that chance to get a job and organize our house.
