Energy level = zero

I am so super tired it is amazing i get anything accomplished in a day. after reading that my baby will be growing an inch a week for the next three weeks, its no wonder why i have little to no steam in a day. By mid-afternoon, i am ready to turn in. I would like to thank my wonderful Ted for being so understanding by picking up the chores around the house so i needn't worry about getting them done. Perhaps he noticed that I couldn't muster the energy and have been spending my evenings curled up in bed. My energy will return....some day. i love you Ted, thank you!

My hunger goes in spurts. My aversions to food are constant. Constant in the way that i always have something that turns me off, but never the same thing. I find myself craving salty things - can't get enough cheese - and choking on chocolate. the smell of coffee has turned my past love into a minor repulsion. One thing is sure - the first thing i think about when i wake up is what other kind of salty breakfast i can have instead of eggs. Scrambled eggs are a love right now. pop tarts and toaster strudels are on the back burner. Some days i get full fast, others it takes a ton of food to fill me up. Carbs and more carbs...salt and more salt.

I am yearning for my belly to grow. I have periods where i feel fat and not pregnant and then the next day i feel thinner. my belly comes and goes right now. some people think i should be careful what i wish for - but honestly...i can't wait for my belly....and i don't think i will ever wish it away. (Well, maybe at 9 mths and pushing it)

As I sat watching So You Think you Can Dance last night, it hit me...all those years i went clubbing and thought i was the shit - i was making a complete fool of myself. There are people....who THINK they can dance (I am now guilty) and then put them up against people who really CAN dance and they look pathetic. It's amazing to think that these young kids (some of them) devote themselves to dancing...and i got to thinking....if that's all our kids do - i will be thankful. if it keeps them safe and away from danger of hooligans and druggies....then dance kiddo, dance. Kuddos to those who muster the courage to at least try. TV makes me laugh. what makes me laugh even harder is the fact that now that i am pregnant - everything is thought of in a parenting view.
