Junk Food

Okay - so last week and the end of the week before were bad weeks for me. I was eating junk food like crazy and just never stopping. Nothing else sounded better or tasted better. I even ate meat several times. Ugh. I have a leftover club in the fridge and it makes me sick to think about. Why? I don't get my body right now at all. Today I had oatmeal for breakfast and am not remotely hungry at all. In fact my stomach hurts kinda. WTF?! I really don't get it and I want to, it is really frusterating. I need to go to the store and replinish my fruit supply. I think I could eat that again. I was so burnt out. I never get burnt out on stuff. I could and sometimes do eat the same stuff day after day for weeks. I do not understand. I almost feel like an entirely different person. Feels pretty good to be back on track though food wise, well I guess I should say making 1 good decision after a string of not so good ones. Intend to make this week full of good choices though. Food and otherwise.

All morning eating situation

This morning I think breakfast and lunch are the same. I started at 9 and just had food continually through 12:30. It was Apples and peanut butter. A strawberry from the garden! So good!! A few regular strawberries, pineapple, and grapes. It was so good. I also finished the Kit Kat first thing this morning. So I know I'll be hungry again before the day is over, but I am so glad I plowed through all that fruit though. I still have two apples staring at me, I need to get them home today so I eat them over the weekend. I can't wait until the garden is producing! I really want the stuff in there. I get a strawberry everymorning. I saw the white of couliflower in some of my plants today. I hope the broccli isn't far behind. I need to weed it so bad. It is happening Sunday Morning!

Snack and Dinner

At work I had 1/2 a Godiva chocolate bar. I had high expectations, and was let down. Once back home 2 more pieces of pizza, and 2 pieces of a Kit Kat. Finally my prenatals and DHA. Time for bed now. Hoping not to pee 4 times tonight. One thing I hate about all the water  drink now. Got nauseas today watching a pageant mom get crap for her daughter who was 9. It was awful and the kid was not into it at all. It would be one thing if the kid was loving it, but she was so disinterested and mainly watching her little brother. Sad stuff.

Snack

Red and green grapes and strawberries, also another piece of pizza. So good, even cold. I hate that when I eat I am hungrier. This goes for anything too, not just junk.

Lunch

Two pieces of cheese pizza from Marco's and a few breadsticks with pizza sauce. I will probably eat more before I leave work. It is just delicious. I really could eat bread all day. Oh, can't forget the huge Mountain Dew freeze. It's odd, the first couple weeks I knew I was pregnant, I wanted Sprite if I wanted soda. Now I am back to Mountain Dew freezes; although my old drink of choice Coke doesn't hold it's same allure. I take two sittings to finish a 20 oz.

Introduction

At the suggestion of my sister Carmel, I have decided to start a baby blog. I am very excited to be pregnant, so it will be neat to have access to ME while I was pregnant. Really though right now I barely feel anything. I am about 9 weeks along and have had no morning sickness. My mom said she didn't either, so I am feeling pretty good about that. I feel really tired alot, but I work two jobs and have felt tired for a while; so this is not really a new feeling. I feel some period-like feelings, not cramps necessarily, but stuff going on in there. I usually feel like I'll go to the bathroom and find the biggest period ever.

My first doctor visit was last Tuesday. She came to the same conclusion Adam and I did and thought we were about 8 weeks along. I got strep throat while visiting my family in late April/early May and of course was prescribed antibiotics. Decided I was allergic to batch one on day 6 or 7 of meds and was told to stop taking and given nothing new. I got strep again the next week and was given new meds. So this miracle I get to expirence is thanks to me getting sick. I think it was a push for me. I have always told Adam if he wasn't ready for kids by the time I was 25, I was going to make the decision to leave. I wanted to be a mom and respected his not wanting kids just couldn't compromise my own dream and calling. So now I am pregnant, turn 25 in November and Adam is excited! It's all feeling really good right now. I have support from him, my family and his. I feel very good. Want to be closer to my family, not sure how to solve that problem yet, we will just have to visit more often.

Life right now is a hustle to get all individual ducks in a row asap, so the next few months can be spent getting all baby ducks in a row. We are working to finish the house. That is taking time, but Adam works nearly everynight after work on it, so I see progress getting made so fast. I'm still trying to decide on school this semester. I want to go back so bad, but I also need income. Hope to get all of that resolved in the coming weeks.

I really just can't believe this is real. I feel so good and so normal. I changed my way of eating probably 6 or so weeks ago, with a nagging feeling I wanted to starting probably around Easter. Now all the positive changes I am seeing, I don't know which to relate it to, the pregnancy or new habits. I hardly sweat anymore and have almost no B.O.; I used to be so sweaty, I would only wear tank tops due to constant armpit wetness that embarrassed me. At the beginning of the warm weather, my skin became oily which it always does. My facial oil level has seriouslcy reduced. I don't shine and produce oil nearly as much as I did just a couple months ago. I have been expiramenting with skincare too, but as a whole, on the days I do nothing with my face, I am not the greasepit I used to be. It is uncanny. Anyone expirence this during pregnancy? I want to know about what others have expirenced. I have always been curious, but never knew what to ask or even what to look for. Now, I feel like I have new questions daily.

Breakfast

Granny Smith Apple and lots of peanut butter. Water. Trying to get more protien and also trying to eat the 20+ apples I still have from the 4th. I have not eaten enough fruit this week. I am just getting tired of it right now. Had alot of bread though, for some reason I could eat that for every meal.
