Thus far ....

I find that now things are getting better there are times throughout the day that I actually have to remind myself that I am pregnant? I'm not sure if it's because my symptoms are slowly fading or if it's because I have just learned to deal with them!? I feel like I have been eating horrible lately and I think my body knows it. I just feel like I have gained a ton of weight already, maybe I'm just paranoid but I do feel more sluggish lately and I think it's from my huge intake of carbs? So anyway I decided to weigh my self this morning and it's actually not as bad as I thought (174.2lbs) so I've only really gained about 4lbs? I think it's just cause I'm so bloated that I feel bigger, my pants are tighter and it feels so good at night to put my sweats on! ;)

There have been some things I've learned so far that I thought I would share...

#1- What tastes good does not always make you feel good! I have experienced this a lot - soda pop tastes good at first but doesn't make me feel very good, juice or flavored water also tastes really good at first ... till it hits my tummy!

#2- Once you think you have everything figured out ... it changes! I often remember my girlfriend telling me about her boy and every time she thought she had him figured out he would go and change. I believe that my baby is doing this to me already and just when I think it's OK to do/eat something the baby decides that nope whatever it is is not good!

#3- The power of smell! I have never smelt more stink in my life! Things that I would have never thought stunk before now turn my stomach and most of these smells are from other employees! :P There is one guy at work that I hold my breath around just because he is beyond stink, and everyone else here smokes which also makes my stomach queasy. I love when the one lady cleans the bathroom, the smell of something freshly cleaned makes me very happy!

That's really about it so far, I had another weird dream last night but this one was kinda a scary dream. I actually enjoy being able to remember my dreams, something I was rarely able to do before. I just don't really like the 'bad' dreams, the ones where people get hurt or the ones about the baby.

I think we are going to a Christmas party tomorrow night for a friend of my hubbies. It's a free meal and one that I don't have to cook so I'm excited about that! But I have mixed feelings about this "friend", he seems to take advantage of my hubby when ever it suits him and charges him to use tools and such even though my hubby is the one doing all the work!? This is not something that I would expect a "friend" to do!? He has known this guy for a long time (15-20 years), we haven't seen him for a while so I guess we will see how tomorrow night goes!? Hopefully I don't say anything to cause a scene!? ;)
