I am quite proud of myself. Over a year ago, I lost 50 pounds. Then, I gained back 19. Then I found out I was pregnant. Since the news, I have been very tuned into my nutrition and what I've been eating. I want to make sure our Butter Bean has a good, healthy start to it's tiny, amazing little life. In doing this, I actually lost 7 more pounds! I haven't been getting sick every morning (thank you, pregnancy Gods), but I was nauseous quite a bit. For the most part, the nausea has faded with only occasional rearing of it's ugly head. I haven't been depriving myself, either. On Friday's, I have fries. Get it? FRY day? It helps to keep me sane. I've been craving strawberry shakes and have had two in the past two weeks. I hopped on the scale about four days ago and ... gained 3 pounds. I wasn't actually upset. I was excited that I had gained a little weight for my Butter Bean because I know it's healthy. As I was smiling because of my gained weight (a little odd, I know), I went to put on my trusty jeans. Here's a glimpse into the conversation I had with myself: Uh...wait. I could button these last week. SUCK IT IN!! There! All better! Uh... No. That's not going to work. Unbutton, unzip, and let it all hang out! AHHH. I can breathe! Uh oh. What am I going to wear to work? Wait. What was that trick I heard about? WHERE'S MY HAIR TIES? Loop through the loop and attach to the button. There! Perfect! And, my conversation with myself about 9 hours later: Thank God I'm in my car going home! Unbutton the hair tie, unzip...AHHHH. What the heck am I going to do about tomorrow? Needless to say, I got some great deals on maternity clothes. Now, I'm just waiting for them to arrive. What am I doing in the meantime? I'm wearing the pair of "fat pants" I kept from when I weighed 33 pounds more than I do today...and more dresses.
Keep growing healthy, Butter Bean! Mommy and Daddy love you!
