It's eleven o' clock and I'm just now rolling out of bed. My favorite thing about being pregnant so far? This new sweet tooth I've developed. I had pound cake for breakfast! It was soooooo good. I've never been a sugar junkie before. I would rather devour a whole bag of tortilla chips or some other salty treat. I think it's Wesley's child that is making me want sweets so badly. He has always loved his cakes and candies. I wonder how else she will be like him?
Hopefully she will have his smarts, his smile, definitely his nose, his energy, artistic talent, and his people skills. I want her to be just like him with the exception of having my impeccable talent for picking a mate. I just don't know how I feel about having two of ME in the house. That's a scary thought! Who would do the dishes?
I'm starting to show a little bit. My book tells me she is the size of an olive and my uterus is the size of a grapefruit. No wonder I feel a little chubby in the belly (well... that and the pound cake!). My muscles have relaxed and my abdomen is kind of squishy. It's pretty fascinating for someone who has been a stick all her life.
I think the only part of my body that hasn't started changing yet is my fingers. I bet the will swell before it's all over. If so, I already plan to buy a simple gold band that will fit so everyone will know I am happily married. Plus, wearing my rings is a comfort to me. I wouldn't want to be without that symbol of our love at any point, much less while I'm pregnant. Were you able to wear your rings throughout your pregnancy? If not, what did you do?
PS- Try doing a Google image search for 'sweet tooth' when you get home. Strange, strange, strange.
My rings stopped fitting pretty early (maybe at 3-4 months?), and the thought of containing them with a ring made me want to cut my fingers off completely (I was, uh, pretty swollen to say the least!). It didn't bother me at all to not have a ring on, and in fact I pretty much forgot all about it. There was a new guy at work who started about a month before my maternity leave, though, and apparently he noticed. I got back from my leave (with rings on) and he asked me how married life was treating me. "Uhh... fine?" I'd been married for four years by then. It was when he talked about all of my exciting life changes - marriage, baby, etc. - that it finally dawned on me that he thought I had a shotgun wedding. HAAAAA!!! I still chuckle when I see him. I never told him otherwise. ;)
