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?
