Wow

I have so much to write. I'm going to try and do that tonight and backdate the entries. The weekend was such a blur I'm still trying to wrap my head around it all. I've got my first major checkup scheduled for next week. Some of my pants are already tight so I'm wearing a pair of my fat pants right now but they're still too big. Good thing I'm wearing a long shirt.

I just checked out the beginnings of the bump in the bathroom mirror. It looks a lot bigger from my top-down angle than it does in profile.

This morning was a struggle. I was queasy when I woke up and had a hard time eating. I only got through half of my egg. I managed to finish my oatmeal with blueberries and almonds -- barely. My whole breakfast was only 225 calories, which is about 100 less than I normally try to eat when I'm not pregnant. I'm queasy again right now so I'm slowly eating cherries to try to head it off. Still no puking though. Woo hoo!

I'm signed up at three different pregnancy websites right now but I'm super hesitant to post in any of the message boards. Once again I'm afraid of jinxing anything. I'm thinking positive! I promise! It's just hard sometimes when I'm just naturally so terrified about this whole thing.

Back to food, I need to meet with a nutritionist soon. I was maintaining my weight by eating 1200-1500 calories a day and not working out very hard. I'm going to be working out even less so I'm not sure where I'm supposed to be calorie-wise. Some of the daily serving recommendations I've seen are absolutely insane -- like who can eat 6-8 servings of whole grains in a single day? That's three per meal! Even if I could physically cram that much food into my gullet I'd end up being 400 pounds at the end of the pregnancy!
