I kind of like the idea of possibly getting below 200 lbs before the end of the year, but then I question if I am eating enough for me and baby. I mean I know the baby takes what the baby needs but I can't eat like I usually do in pregnancy.
There is also the little issue of morning sickness too.
Thankfully I am not 
, apparently that would be more of an issue with my doctors. But I am not puking I am just nauseous whenever I eat something or I will get violently ill. Headaches, painful sickness in my tummy and I just want to curl up and die. And yet. . .and yet I continue to eat for the sake of the baby and for the sake of staying alive.My eating regimn usually starts out with a morning Atkin's protein shake. Depending on the day it can go down easily or it can take 2-3 hours to sip down just 11 oz with every swallow making me as nauseous as the last.
After I choke down my shake then I can usually have regular food. However breads don't seem to like me lately. Flour tortillas, rolls, and the homemade donuts Dh made just found their way out of me after I ate them. Some proteins don't sit well with me anymore either. I can still do egg salad and the taco salad I had from taco bell the other night, while it took me 3 hours to eat, it actually did well.
Most of the time I have to get my digestion really going to be able to eat any given full meal. But it just gets so painful and I am so nauseous that after a few bites I give up on eating the rest.
I think baby is doing well but I can't be 100% certain. I am still worried about miscarrying and I really do hope that by Christmas I will be able to find baby's HB with the doppler. It would be the best present this season and I will stop worrying. I will be just around 10 weeks by then. If not then, then hopefully the week after. I know the earliest I've been able to find baby's HB was around 11 weeks, but I was also 80lbs heavier too. So who knows . . .?!
I was able to go to the Salvation Army and buy 3 pairs of maternity jeans. Still shocked the 3X jeans were too big and the XL jeans were the "right size", LOL. I am not used to that. I also found a maternity shirt and I got 2 pairs of jeans for now and after baby. One was a size 16 and it fit well! Yay!
I am kicking myself NOW for having passed up some great fitting maternity capri's because it totally escaped me that I would be pregnant during the summer! D'oh! For some reason I thought "I won't need those. I'll be too cold!" UGH! It's difficult shopping for the future if you forget what the weather will be like 6-7 months from now, LOL I'm hoping that maybe tomorrow I'll be able to find them still on the rack as we have to go back for some things we forgot.
Any ways, so far so good. Surprised that I am still losing weight, and yet NOT surprised at the same time. Lower back killing me, boobs killing me, and I am freakin' tired all the time and I have a crap load of things to do in the coming week. {{{sigh}}}
So watch my tickers and see if I make it to 199 before the end of the year and watch my baby virtually grow in the other ticker. :)
