week 9- preggo
Today I started week 9. Apparently the baby is the size of a raspberry now. Unfortunately, I don’t feel like eating raspberries or anything else that is healthy for me! All I crave now is fatty foods- especially Whoppers from BK and Blizzards from DQ. Maybe that will pass. Once again though, I’m just glad I can keep food down and not vomit!! Thoughts I’ve had:
**I need to exercise. Period. Right now I’ve gained 9 pounds. That’s a pound a week. I’m not “showing” I’m just fluffy at this point. I can tell I’m just getting fat and not gaining baby weight. I’ve had to upgrade my clothes… I went to Old Navy and Target today and bought cotton skirts that have elastic waist bands and draw strings. Those should hold me through summer.
**I don’t want to get fat. I guess at this rate of 1 pound a week, I’ll gain 40 pounds. I think that’s “normal”- whatever that word means!!
**Every time I go to the bathroom I check to see if I’m bleeding. I guess that’s normal. I’m not worried about having a miscarriage, but the thought is always in the back of my mind. I guess it’s my age. I’m not too old, but I’m no spring chicken either!! I turned 34 last week and will be 4 months shy of being 35 once the baby is here.
**If the secretary at work (whom I don’t particularly care for) gives me one more pregnancy tip or shares something about her daughters pregnancy I’m gonna punch her in the face. Worst case… I can blame the rage on my hormones!
**Speaking of hormones, I haven’t been too “off” yet. Honestly, this pregnancy thing has been pretty easy so far. I get tired after work around 4:30. When I wake up in the morning I feel a tad queezy, but I get over it pretty quick. My boobs are swollen and my prenatal pills are making my hair and nails grow like CRAZY!!! I may need to get my hair colored every 2-2.5 weeks instead of 4 now!!
**I’m anxious to see my OBGYN. I won’t see her until July 14. That’s almost 12 weeks into this adventure! I have a few questions to ask, but not a whole lot. I’m reading a lot from “What to Expect When You Are Expecting.” That book answers a lot of my questions… it’s like my new bible!
I think that’s it for now. I know this is my “weight loss blog”, but now it’ll be my weight gain blog!!! Wish me luck!!
