The weeks seem to be going by faster which in my mind is perfectly fine!! :) Maybe it's because Christmas is almost here or maybe it is just life going by but which ever it is I'm kinda glad! In less then one week I will be under 200 days away from my due date and I will finally be in my 2nd trimester! I'm hoping for good things in the 2nd trimester, mostly everyone says it is best time of the entire pregnancy!?
So what used to be a fairly giggly tummy is now becoming kinda firm more like a bloated belly, it feels good to know that I am getting bigger because there is a life in me but at the same time it kinda freaks me out to know that I will probably gain back about half of what I had lost before. I'm not going to stress about it too much because I know I will be able to drop the pounds after and maybe even get to my "goal" weight finally but I just thought I would let you know that the thought is there in the back of my head. I do however find it amazing that I have only gained about 5lbs eating all the carbs and crap that I have, I know that before if I was to eat this same way I would have probably gained about 15lbs by now! It must really be hard work on the body to make this little baby!?
A lot of people told me that I would be tired and that I should nap when possible but honestly I'm not all that tired? I'm not sure if that is a good thing or bad? I have finally figured out my vitamin - bed time is the best time to take that but I sometimes forget!? :P And with the help of my hubbies suggestions I also finally think I figured out how to brush my teeth without gagging! he he I need to have a glass of water right before I spit to help swish... then spit! I think it was the texture of toothpaste that would make me gag? Hubby said I used too much but I don't think that was it, I don't use that much?! he he
Yesterday was the first Tuesday of the month which means 10% off groceries!! So off we went shopping, I love grocery shopping I find it so enjoyable. I think we will have nachos for supper tonight!! I have been craving salsa lately, although when food is talked about it usually all sounds good! On my way home I will think... what should we have for dinner tonight and I might hear a ad on the radio for chicken strips and think "ooh - that sounds good! I want chicken strips" and then about 5 minutes later I will drive past an Italian restaurant and think "oh - spaghetti and meatballs!! That's what I want ... with garlic toast!" By the time I get home I have probably thought of about 5 different meals that I want but can't decide what to make cause everything sounds good! ;) It's like having a craving but you're not too sure what would make your taste buds the happiest - salty, sweet, crunchy, chewy, filling or just a light snack!?

hey there lady, it sounds like your getting over the ickys now, so that's great to hear.
You've learned so much about weight loss in the last few months, you'll be able to get the extra pounds off now that you know how to do it. Enjoy your pregnancy, the semi guilt free eating is the best part lol.
Luv you!
I try not to think about it as gaining weight... I try to call it "being pregnant." I think it's great that you're feeling better!
