Just finished up with my last doctor appointment for the first trimester. I think most pregnant women only have 1 or 2 (the first being just a blood test to verify pregnancy) but I have now been 8 times! We just listened to the heartbeat again this time and it still sounds good :) I technically have 1 more week before my first trimester ends, but I'm so happy that we're kind of "exiting the woods" now. I am continuing to bleed and I'm wondering if this is just going to be something that happens through my whole pregnancy. I've noticed that it's kinda like a period where I'll bleed for several days then not for a couple to a few weeks, then it starts again.
I do wish i could work out because I am constantly hungry and eating and now I've gained almost 7 pounds since before I was pregnant. Most of that was just in the last 2-3 weeks, too. My tummy is definitely getting more obvious (at least to me) and I won't be able to hide it much longer from kids and parents at school. I have a couple pairs of maternity pants that are really loose but I wore some this week to work with a belly band. Today I wore one last pair of regular work capris that buttoned (not very comfortably, but at least they buttoned!) and yesterday I bought a few clearance shirts at Target. They aren't maternity shirts, but long and looser fitting shirts that are cute for work. They should be good on me until it gets too cold out and then I'll need to buy some long-sleeved maternity shirts.
I have been obsessed about pizza lately... just thinking about it constantly... and it's not something Sean and I eat very often (unless you count those 200 calorie microwave ones which are good, but not quite the same as REAL pizza) so I am so excited for tonight. We're going to Sean's parents' house and they're ordering Valentino's pizza :) Delicious! It's my favorite type of pizza! I think a huge part of the sudden increase in weight is that I'm back in school and when I'm stressed out, I definitely tend to eat more and more bad foods. I should really find some healthier options that I enjoy and I will, but it's hard to find something that is healthy, yummy, AND easy to make quickly for work. That said, I'm going to go enjoy my pizza for tonight and look for healthier options tomorrow!
I am so excited! I just realized we have the same initials now. But that is not why I am excited. I am so happy for you! I hope things continue to go well and you feel good throughout. Let me know if you need anything!
