11 weeks..and I'm losing my mind, and my stomach..

 Sorry I have been behind MIA on my blogging, but I am telling you, this little "fig" is giving me a run for my money... Morning and Evening sickness, food aversions to things like Aldi, cheese, and any type of meat, and no AC in the house has caused this "MAMA" to lose her cool..literally. 
  Needless to say I am losing my mind... for instance, I have forgotten about meetings, birthdays {including my own}, car keys, cell phone, pictures..only to name a few.... I have even wore my underwear inside out twice... {and not on purpose}, and I have an obsession with diet sodas! {Don't freak out} I am not drinking them, but I do dream about them, stalk the aisle at the grocery, pick one up on occasion just to hold it....this is serious!
I seriously feel like this monkey!



   I never drank diet sodas until I met my hubby Andrew who had always drank diet.  I started buying them to please him..and feel in love... yes with Andrew but with the sodas as well.. Once we were married that is all we bought.  With Lilly I can remember that I drank regular sodas {only one can a day so no overload on caffeine} with no problems, but for some reason with this one, I can not stomach them.  They are entirely to sweet for me, and it seems like I am drinking straight syrup! *I know I am losing it.. but that's not all...my hubby continues to drink the diet sodas {in front of me no less} which then causes my mouth to salivate, my eyes to bug out, and a gut reaction to slap it right out of his hands...{I haven't taken that step yet, but hormones can only hold off for so long}.
Now to the next thing I am losing.. my stomach
   I say this figuratively and literally! With the morning sickness {right when I get up-11:00 am} and the evening sickness {5:00pm-when I go to bed}, eating can be a challenge.  I am snacking grazing, throughout the day on veggies, fruits, nuts, and dried cereal, which wouldn't make you think "sick" or "fatty" but it has happened.. I at times lose my snacks {only 3 times} and I am losing my stomach.... 
     I worked really hard after having Lilly to get back into shape, even getting down smaller than my high school weight.  I was really proud of it, and worked to maintain it.  Before getting pregnant, I knew this would be a HUGE struggle for me...when the time came to "pack on the pounds" I was nervous on how I would react.  Well I had been told my a hundred hundreds thousands of people that on your second pregnancy you will "show" sooner, and if you start out smaller, it will be worse... well it has happened... Last week I had a student say, "Hey, it looks like you have a baby in your tummy" {the joys of teaching 2nd grade}... out at the buses a teacher asked "Hey are you eating for 2?" It had happened... I knew my pants were getting "snug"..but really?
      So I went to GAP to get me some comfy pants..well my good old reliable loose 2's were no longer loose, and yet the 4's were "crotch sagging".. I headed around the corner to Motherhood {Where I told them I was 14 weeks pregnant...don't judge, I had just ate some fries and looked every bit of 14 weeks} but "lo and behold" when I put on the small pants, they were huge {I  don't think the belly band should go above the breast}... what's a girl to do?!
     So stay tuned as I continue to "rig up" my pants with hair ties, and hide this bump for another 2 weeks until the last week of school... Until then, help a sister out...what should I do about my in- between clothing problems?
