Baby's growing and so am I
My pregnancy book tells me that this week the baby is about the size of a peach. How cute! This week I'm too big for normal pants & skirts. That's kind of fun, I suppose. I can't say I'm complaining. Maternity clothes are very comfortable! I'm still not big enough to need maternity tops, but that'll come in time.
Here's a photo of me on Easter Sunday (13 weeks). I wasn't ready for D to take the picture, but it's the best shot of the belly:
And just for fun, here are two pics for comparison. The first is me at eight weeks and the second is at 12 weeks:
What a difference a month makes, eh?
I have to keep a food diary for the next three days. I'm trying to eat as normally as possible so that my midwife can give me useful advice. I think if I tried to eat "well" for the whole three days she'd have a harder time knowing just what my struggles are. I think my biggest problem is that food is just too much work. A lot of the time I'd rather just sit and read or something than deal with getting food together. Yes, that's something I'll have to get over. I had a really bad habit before pregnancy of putting off eating as long as I could; it wasn't because I was afraid of gaining weight or anything: it was truly just laziness. I'd eat breakfast at noon, lunch at 4, and supper at 8, and this was with getting up at 7:30 or 8:00. Not really good. At least now I'm too hungry most of the time to get away with that, but I still do tend to put off eating. Bad!
