I'm a Pickle

I finally went maternity clothes shopping Tuesday and it was great. I decided to try Motherhood Maternity because their prices weren't bad and they carried plus, just in case. I think I tried on everything in the whole entire store! Thank goodness my mom was there to help me hang all the stuff back up and give me an honest opinion. We both freaked out a little when I put the pregnancy pillow under the clothes. (I'm going to be HUGE, but I looked cute!) I would have bought the whole entire store,… Continue

I don't blog for over two weeks and then two in one day! The last post got so long, I figured I'd devote it's own post to this topic--maternity clothes... If you've read my blog, you know how excited I was to finally be in regular misses (not plus size) clothes. Pre-pregnancy, I was what I call a true 16. Not just the bigger 16's fit, all of them did. When I got pregnant I was excited about maternity clothes. Since I was in regular sizes, I could wear regular size maternity clothes. Well I foun… Continue

I was in the hospital last week for dehydration due to morning sickness. I had only thrown up one time before and it was just breakfast--I was able to go about my day.

Sorry I've been MIA for a while. I've been a little preoccupied lately, honestly, but I miss the community. Thanks to those of you who commented on my past posts and profile and helped coax me out of oblivion. As far as my weight goes, it has been up and down according to my weigh-ins. Last week I gained 1 pound and this week I was down three. Wouldn't you know that when I'm not trying to lose weight, I lose. I'm back down to where I was before I found out I was pregnant. At my doctor's visits,… Continue

I was up 0.6 at WI this week, but I'm not really concerned about it. My home scale said I'm down this morning, but I guess the tiny gains and losses are part of my quasi-maintenance phase right now. It's interesting I gained because I haven't been able to eat much this past week and there's not much I could do about it anyway. It's been a rough week as far as morning sickness is concerned. I puked for the first time on Wednesday and all day yesterday was awful. Today was much better, though, so… Continue
