So today marks the start of my 8th week of pregnancy which means I only have 4 more weeks until I am out of the 1st trimester! Yes I know it's really 14 weeks just let me be happy! LOL So far this pregnancy has been much different than my first one. I am much more tired with this pregnancy and I think it's because am keeping up with a 21 month old. I can't get enough sleep. I am going to bed at 9:30 most every night and I still wake up exhausted. I will get a little burst of energy every once in a while but for the most part I am dragging!
I also am eating opposite than I was last time. I am starving from the time I get up until about 2pm and then I can pretty much take or leave food for the rest of the day. With Nisee I got very hungry early and late but didn't really care for food during the middle of the day. I am also craving 1 different thing this time than I did last time: Salad! I am still craving sweets like I did with Nisee. Can I have a salad with a side of cake please?! Totally Weird!
I am doing a good job of cutting out caffeine! I am down to 1 12 oz can of caffeinated drink a day! I am still struggling with getting in my milk though. That's because I HATE milk!!! UGH! I got some chocolate milk and I am working on it. I have OJ with calcium so that ought to help. I am still trying to be active but it's hard because I am so tired. Just housework is like a workout right now but we are still using the Wii and doing a lot of Just Dance, Wii Fit, and Michael Jackson Experience (Thanks Steph) which is a lot of cardio and a lot of FUN! If I can do something at least 3 times a week I will be happy and then I can pick it up more in 2nd trimester!
Even though my baby is only 1 inch today I swear he or she feels about the size of a cantaloupe! I just feel overly full all the time. Think about how you feel after Thanksgiving dinner and that's how I feel all the time even if I don't eat anything. When your pregnant tight pants are the most uncomfortable thing in the world! From where I had lost all that weight I had gotten rid of a lot of my bigger pants or put them in storage. This past week I finally dug out some of my bigger pants which kinda sucks because I am only 8 weeks along! My friend Brittany is pregnant with her 2nd now as well and she said with this one she was showing by 12 weeks so maybe you show earlier with your 2nd. I don't know but either way my pants are getting tight, LOL! I guess I better get my maternity clothes back from another friend much sooner than I expected!
