Michael and I pledged this time around that we would take a monthly belly shot to capture the growth of Baby #2. We always forgot with Michael, jr so we are trying to stick to it this time!
So I am officially 10 weeks today. I have been a lot more yucky feeling with this pregnancy than I was with Deuce. Everybody says that means it's a girl, but it could also be that I didn't already have a 2 yr old to chase around last time! As much as I love Christmas, I am relieved that the holidays are over and I can actually take some time and relax when Mikey is napping so that I feel human by the time daddy gets home from work. I am dog tired by the time 2pm rolls around and am so thankful that on most days, Michael jr takes a really good nap so I can sneak in a little one as well.
I haven't been craving anything too crazy yet. Really carbs, carbs, and more carbs. Potatoes, bread, pasta, cereal- you name it. I have had to force myself to eat protein, YUCK! So my diet is pretty much opposite of what it was before. It's so funny. With the great shape I was in and as finely tuned as I had my diet, I had been telling myself for months, "Becca, now when you get pregnant, you are going to stick with it no matter how you feel". That worked for about a week! Christmas with all the junk food that goes with that didn't help either. I think your body truly does tell you what it needs. My body obviously needs to carb load so I can get all that much needed folic acid. I have also been drinking orange juice like you wouldn't believe. I guess I am needing the calcium and Vitamin C.
So we will see. Maybe once I get over this first trimester and my hormones settle down, I can go back to the way I would normally eat. The good news though, is that no matter how I feel, I still get up and go do my exercise in the morning. I can't have as much coffee as before, so this helps get me going. I was a lazy bum last time and didn't work out at all the first 3 months!
So we go back to the dr. next week and I will update then with anything exciting!
