Sweetpea, you''re right - come December/January, we should be like a neat round of dominos. CelloSweet is due right around then, too.
ChinaCat, what you''re saying is really reassuring - I spent all day today feeling nauseated unless I was full, so I spent all day grazing and feeling ... well, not guilty about it, per se, ''cause I''d rather be fat and sassy than horky and light-headed any day of the week, but almost defensive. Sort of like, "Suck it, Baby Book! You are unrealistic and counterproductive!" Probably not helpful if it means I eat *too* much, but it''s staved off any desire to have a late dinner, and thus the "morning" sickness I''ve been having in the evenings all week, so ... yeah. Like you said, I''m just going to try to trust my body and give it what it wants. One thing I''m wondering, though ... you mention working out keeps the pains from getting too bad. I don''t know which stage you''re at in your pregnancy, so I don''t know if you mean regular aches and pains that are a''comin'', or ...? Generally, I walk a lot in lieu of working out, but now I''m wondering if I should step it up ....
PhoenixGirl, you totally just made me feel better: I''ve been freaking out that steady weight gain at the beginning of the pregnancy guarantees equally steady weight gain all throughout. The baby books I''ve been reading really do make it sound like this regimented, monolithic process that is identical for every woman, and they make me feel like I''m somehow doing it *wrong,* which, ugh. I''m with you on starving myself being out of the question - I get light-headed and shocky from low blood sugar at the best of times, so factoring that in to the exhaustion of the first trimester sounds like kind of a sucky idea.
You guys are awesome!
