It's the first weigh in since I found out I was pregnant. And its not good. We have been doing a lot of celebrating and that of course means eating out. Yesterday I ate an 8 ounce steak, rice pilaf, AND a whole house salad... obviously its out of control.
I'm insanely bloated. I can feel the water sloshing around in my stomach. I haven't been able to go to the bathroom. I'm irritable.
I'm up 4 lbs.
I'm sure not all of it is food related. After all, I found out I was pregnant on Thursday and its now Monday. There was no way I ate 4 lbs of extra food in those days. That is insane. Especially since I have been mostly tracking.
Part of it is hormones from the pregnancy. I know this because my body is changing in other ways too. My 44DDD's are getting even bigger. They feel stretched. I have acne on my face, neck and other parts of my body (back, bum, etc) that I don't normally get. I feel tired all the time. I don't really feel hungry. I'm crampy.
I am struggling with this whole healthy eating whole foods thing. I just cannot seem to get into it. Even for the baby. I feel like I am failing at this point. It doesn't help seeing a gain on the scale either. But I'll keep doing what I have to. Pushing myself one day at a time until it stops being so hard and then only becomes mildly annoying. If I do it enough, it will become second nature. I hope.
Weight: 223 (+4)
He took my last name when we got married. I took on the challenge of motherhood and losing the 80 lbs I gained

Family Shenanigans
Brian's parents are coming by today. I am making Berry Cobbler. I'm pretty excited because cake + anything = delicious. 16 servings, 4 Points+ per serving, hey that's delicious! I can't wait. What a great way to use up some fruit.
I found that my prenatal vitamins (which are all natural and do not contain any wheat, soy, corn, dairy, etc) have peppermint oil and peppermint leaf in them to help with nausea. Maybe that is why I have been so lucky. Or maybe I'm not at the nauseous stage yet. I don't know. Hope this lasts though.
I find I keep doodling side views of pregnant bellies. Ha!
The cobbler is in the oven as we speak. His parents will probably be here with in the next half hour or so. I am dressed up in that cute size 16 dress I bought
The in laws haven't seen the new apartment. Which doesn't sound so bad- after all, we only moved in the beginning of March. They haven't met Max either... which sounds a little worse, because we got Max in January. Ha! Oh well, my parents havent seen the new place or the new dog.
Gotta go. Family time

Congratulations! for what?
This whole being pregnant thing is funny. People I know are randomly sending me text messages, or emails, or instant messages and they just say "Congrats!" and since I am so newly pregnant, I keep thinking... "for what? I haven't done anything lately....oh RIGHT...baby."
It's a lot of fun though, seeing so many people commenting on things or going "What?! How did I miss this!?" haha
Brian has been asking me all day how I am feeling. And it's probably because I look awful. I keep having these really vivid dreams that have nothing to do with babies, but still keeping me up at night. Like my whole face breaking out in acne and my forehead is so oily that its actually dripping off my head... I have really good skin so I don't get acne often. I've chalked it up to stress/pregnancy. I took a nice 3 hour nap earlier, I really needed it.
My breasts are so tender and they feel completely different. You know when you have a balloon and you stretch it and it looses its elasticity? the skin of the balloon is stretched? That is how they feel. Super stretched. I'm still having cramps too. Tylenol has been my friend, as well as lots of bed rest.
My gramma went to Kohl's today and got us two onesies for the baby. One says I Love My Mommy and the other says I Love My Daddy.
Baby fever has taken firm hold! My mom is now telling random ladies with babies that I am pregnant. Ha! How cute.
Brian's parents are coming over to visit. They haven't seen us since we got Max in January, let alone the new apartment and the fact we are bearing grandchildren now lol I am making the berry cobbler Jaime suggested! Thanks :) I dont know if I have enough frozen fruit, I'm missing about a cup... wondering if I should put in my fresh strawberries? Or you know what... I'll freeze them! Perfect! I'm such a genius.
