No More Food!

I never thought the day would come when I would ever say this, but I am tired of food.  Previously, before becoming pregnant, my daily excitements were meals and sleep, very exciting... and they were to me!  So what has changed?  To keep my nausea at bay and stay off the medicine, I have had to eat obscene amounts.  Brenton brags to his friends about the fact that I can out eat him.  And if your are wondering, sadly this is true.  I do not think I would have believed it had I been told, until I got to this point!  I guess I should be embarrassed but, in reality, I am just thankful to not be throwing up as regularly.  Even with my new diet, I would say I have one or two uncontrollable moments per week.  Not bad with the previous ratio, and considering the fact that I am not taking medicine for the most part.  And while Zofran is what made life doable early on, it is nice to not have to deal with the side effects from the pill either.

Really, I should be and am grateful to not be throwing up through out the day.  I feel great for the most part and have gotten to where walking/physical activity, in doses, does not bother me.  We have made some big strides, all except for the lovely new diet! 

My current prayer... "Dear Lord, help me be able to walk so that my eating habits won't take my weight out of control.  Oh, and if you could make the nausea go away, that'd be nice too."  Not superficial one bit, eh?!  (*Wink*)

Last update, my pregnant belly is showing now.  Were I to wear a more fitted shirt, it would be obvious I had not just gained a little weight at 17 weeks (this weekend).  Thankfully, the current trend it baggy, not fitted, and comfortable.  Shirts can be very deceiving and I love it!  We are three weeks away from the gender appointment.  We are excited to find out!
