Don't mess with a hungry Mama!!

Wow, suddenly, whenever I'm hungry, if I do not eat something right away, I am an EVIL person! This has happened several times but today was pretty bad. A co-worker offered to go to Panera to pick up lunch so I asked her to get me some Chicken and Wild Rice soup in a bread bowl. MMMM! But right before she got here with it, I decided I was hungry and needed something NOW! When she walked in the office, I just about pounced on her! Not good! I should start carrying around some snacks in case this happens when I'm not around quickly accessable food!

But other than being a monster at eating time, things have been going great! I lasted an excersion out to New York City this past weekend. We didn't do too much because Danielle, Chris' friend who lives in Hoboken, is seven months pregnant so of course she can't do too much walking around. We had fun and so did Carter. I swear, he's such a good kid! He may rake my nerves at times, but overall, he's a very well behaved child! Let's hope that runs in the genes and number two comes out the same way! :)

New picture!!

My ticker just moved up to something that actually resembles a baby! :) It's the little things!

So, today I am at nine weeks. Besides the being tired all the time, it doesn't seem like I'm growing another human in me. Sure, I get the pains and the stretching feelings, but it's still surreal at times. Some pants are started to get a bit tight. Not uncomfortably tight, but I just can tell they are fitting a bit differently. I still haven't gained anything which is good. In fact, yesterday I gorged on food. I mean, really! I have always been a bit of a grazer. When I order things, I tend to want a little bit of a lot of different things. Yesterday, we ordered subs from a local sub shop. I ordered a cheeseburger sub and onion rings thinking I would have a couple of the rings and pawn them off on one of the guys in the office. Yeah, nope! I ate the whole sub and all the rings. Wow! Then Chris grilled steaks for dinner even though it was raining slightly. Mmmm. But when I weighed myself this morning, it was still that glorious number that I haven't seen in a long time. I know it will catch up to me, but I'm enjoying it while it lasts.

mmm Possibly a first craving?

At the end of the road with my pregnancy with Carter, I ending up wanting Dr. Pepper again. I had stopped drinking it regularly a while prior to getting pregnant but started wanting it again. I even sent Chris on a search of the hospital vending machines to find me one!

So, I think it's back. Early this time. But it sucks because I told myself that I would limit my caffeine intake to just my morning coffee. Now, I'm having that plus a soda later in the day. A test of willpower will soon emerge. Next week, I will not buy a soda. If I want something besides my Crystal Light flavored water, I will...think of something. But no soda!!
