We have our next OB appointment on Tuesday, the 28th and Graham will finally get to experience seeing an ultrasound and hearing the baby's heartbeat. Can't. Freaking. Wait.
Since I'm so overweight to begin with, I'm not sure when I'll start actually looking pregnant and not just fat. I've lost 10lbs so far since I got pregnant, which is good since it's recommended that I only gain 10-15lbs during the entire pregnancy. I haven't really been trying to lose weight, but I just haven't been able to eat as much. Between nausea and just feeling full faster it's helped to keep from eating everything in sight. On a positive note, I haven't experienced any vomiting so far. Thank God for that!
Food has been a touchy subject for the last few months. Nothing has really sounded good and I can't say I've really had "cravings". I'll want something, eat it, and then not want it again for weeks. It's so weird. I also haven't wanted to cook... AT ALL. Anyone that knows me, knows that this isn't normal. I'm hoping all of that will go away in the second trimester. Also, my sense of smell is super-sensitive; which I think has been one of the main reasons I haven't wanted to cook lately.
I have definitely noticed changes in my body: my chi chi's are growing (and hurting!), and I no longer fit into any of my jeans. I bought a couple bella bands the week before Christmas and have been wearing them to keep my jeans up ever since. I'm trying to avoid having to buy maternity jeans for a few more months, if I can help it.
So far the most exciting parts about being pregnant is thinking about how we're going to decorate the nursery, planning a gender reveal party, and looking for ideas on Pinterest for when my sister throws me a baby shower. I'm also loving that my hair hasn't been falling out anymore and it's beginning to look really full and shiny - it's so pretty! I'm debating getting a "mommy-cut" this summer, but the hubs loves the long hair, so we'll just have to wait and see.
