Due Date: October 19, 2011. 194 days to go!
Weight Gain: Up 3-5 pounds. Oddly enough, my weight dropped 3-5 pounds once I stopped running. There you go, conclusive evidence that running makes you fat!
Symptoms: Nausea. So. Much. Nausea. I keep getting pregnancy updates about how good I’m starting to feel and it’s all a lie. I’ve felt worse this week than any of the other weeks. Tiredness, bloating, etc.
What’s different this time: I can’t sit on the couch and read guilt free. Also, I’m not running because of my injury, which I really hate.
Cravings/Aversions: I mostly can stomach salty foods and tangy foods: sharp cheese and plain yogurt. On the bad list are veggies, chicken, most protein, milk, water, sweet stuff, things with artificial sweetners. Sometimes just about anything.
Sleep: I have been getting a solid 8 hours a night plus naps but am now trying to follow my husband’s suggestion that I try to get even more sleep to see if that helps with the nausea. I’m trying, but I am afraid that if I sleep more I won’t have time to exercise or get other stuff done while Isaac is asleep.
I am loving: The fact that I have cute maternity clothes that I can wear sometime. That my uterus is outside of the pelvic cavity, assuring me that there is growth and a reason I feel like I’m getting bigger. That we heard the heart beat with the doppler last week. That we will be letting people know in about a week or so and then I don’t have to worry about wearing the right thing so that my stomach doesn’t stick out. Also excited about the prospect of feeling better in four weeks or so.
I miss: Feeling human and running. And my jeans fitting.
Movement: There have been a few times I’ve thought I could feel something but I could totally be making that up.
It’s a: Boyboyboyboyboyboyboy. Please?
Exercise: Cross training, abs, and weights for me this week.
Diet: I know what I want it to look like when I’m done being sick. That counts for something, right?
Exercise goal for the upcoming week: Actually get in three days of weights this week. Figure out how to make the bike and elliptical more interesting.
