(week 8)
Since confirming the bun is actually IN the oven, my pain has magically dissipated. Sometimes I think staying off the internet and not reading up on things may be the better way to go.
So far so good. Still dodging any sign of morning sickness. I'm losing weight despite my ravenous appetite. I call it my baby diet. I somehow seem to have managed to drop six pounds but still grow out of all my pants at the same time. It's like all the fat left is melting off my thighs and piling onto my belly and chest.
Weird.
I really shouldn't spend money on new clothes this early, but I'm out of options. It's not like I can wear pajama pants to work!
Bought two pairs of overpriced pants that I decided to return after I got home. Then went out to Ross with a gift certificate and splurged on a pair of elastic top dress pants and about 8 new dresses! Much more fun then goofy denim, and I think the dresses should work just about the entire time.
So far I haven't been my normal moody self. I don't know if it's the vitamins (my doctor has me on fish oil in addition to prenatals to help balance my moods) or the hormones or what, but I've been unnaturally calm and happy. It's strange. Then again, I did cry during an episode of family guy the other day, can't say that's exactly normal.
Craving this week: Cheese (any form... cheesecake, cheddar, fetta, cheezits - you name it)
Pet Peeve: People making obvious comments around others I haven't told yet.
Lesson Learned: If you are going to tell anyone, be ready to tell everyone.
To do list : Buy a scale.

Weight loss early on is good! Yes, isn't it wonderful to watch some of your cellulite disappear as your belly is seeming to grow! Don't pay too much attention to the scale as you go through this process though. On one had you may be worried that you feel like you might gain more that you can shed later, but in my case I worried some about not gaining enough. In my 1st pregnancy the doctor told me I wasn't eating enough, but she didn't bother saying anything about my weight the 2nd time around, and I gained less with the 2nd. With Phoenix, I felt like I was losing weight the whole time in my thighs and in my face. With Gryphon I felt like a Macy's parade balloon since my legs,feet, face,and hands were all swelling. Every pregnancy for every mom is different! I felt BEAUTIFUL throughout both pregnancies - I hope you do too!
