I'm 4 weeks today, and so hot. I had to shut the heat off; I mean, it's December and near 60 degrees, but still. I am absolutely roasting. I went to take a "progress" picture (or maybe just establish a baseline), but I felt gross and deleted them. I guess I better get used to that.
After I dropped Hank off at preschool this morning, I spent almost $100 at the grocery store and spent most of the time wanting to curl up in the cart and go to sleep. I bought some vanilla-flavored Carnation instant breakfast things, mainly for the protein to keep me awake now that caffeine is out of the picture, but also for the extra vitamins. This pregnancy, so far, is exactly like the last: no real symptoms except tiredness and appetite increase. I made sure to get lots of healthy snacks because I am determined not to put on a ton of weight this time around. With Hank, I gained 31 pounds, which my midwife said was perfect given my body type. I think I weigh slightly more than I did when I got pregnant the first time around, but it should all even out as long as I don't give into the Dairy Queen cravings.
I guess the other difference is that I'm REALLY impatient for things to start happening, now that I've been-there-done-that. Then again, I don't want it to go by too quickly, because I want to enjoy the time Hank and I have while it's "just us." I'm going to take him to a children's museum after his dentist appointment next Tuesday.
I'm enjoying this writing every day thing. I hope I can get back in the habit.
