If you would have told me 17 weeks and 4 days ago that pregnancy goes by fast...I probably would have seriously laughed in your face. In my mind then, it sure was going to be a long time until July.... but MAN!!! Time flies...I mean 17 weeks and 4 days...that's 4 months of pregnancy gone. :) Do you think I have any pictures to show for it? NOPE!!! But I took some today so hopefully I will get them posted on Facebook/Myspace. My girls have been waiting so patiently...all b/c I keep forgetting to buy some batteries! Don't worry girls... I bought some batteries today and took a few pictures....
I've decided to start walking again. I was walking daily during my first trimester at a track outside ( it's just nicer that way ) but it got to be too cold and I got worried about being sick. I have a gym membership but I was scared to get on a treadmil for fear that I would fall. Then I thought... I'm not running a marathon, chasing anybody, or trying to break any records....I'm just WALKING...so I need to get back on it....that starts tomorrow. I've tried to keep my eating under control and I think I'm doing pretty good. This baby LOVES salad, cereal, apples, popsicles, icecream cones, and potatoes. I could do salad all day and I was NOT a salad girl before. Now, the things that I once loved ( donuts, potato chips, etc.) this child does NOT like....it frustrates me :) From my doctor visit in Nov. to Dec. I lost 5 lbs ( thank you morning sickness ) and from
December to my January visit I gained it back. That's pretty good...5 lbs in the first trimester. Dr. Gray told me to expect the weight gain to start now. It's amazing that I can be so "starving" and start eating and then 3 bites later be completely full. What the mess?!?!
I never really experienced food aversions and smells that make me sick until this Saturday! OMG...I was watching my husband little league basketball game when this lady and her big bag of Lay's potato chips sat in front of me so I couldn't see and then I got a whiff of her chips and I was sick on the spot. It was ridiculous. I LOVE potato chips...can't eat them...but pre-baby I could. I had to move quick or she wouldn't have been eating those chips either! LOL!
Wednesday is ultrasound day..hopefully my baby will cooperate and let us know what he or she is!
I was amazed at how irritable I was during pregnancy! It was crazy. Then, as soon as my baby is born, I'm usually back to "normal" although, not really, b/c then the post-partum horomone stabilizing begins :-) But no need to worry about that ever (throw it all on God! He cares for you) ...if you do have trouble, remember to contact me. I can tell you lots of things to try. And you can always contact me now too if you have any questions that you can't find answers to... So happy for you!
