I had the longest day ever at work and sadly I missed going to the gym. I have to say that I am really disappointed. I was so looking forward to a good sweat! My body is achy all the time but I still think it would be a good thing getting back to the gym. I always feel better when I am moving more.
I bought a pregnancy workout magazine and the workout that they have in it is great. The exercises are seem like they will help during labour and hopefully with carrying this extra load. If I can keep and maybe gain a little extra muscle tone it might help with these pains.
I have been trying to add more fresh fruits and vegetables into my diet but this weird weather all over the US has been causing me some trouble. Everything is so expensive and I can`t stand melon! All I see in every fruit salad is melon and I hate it! I did manage to find some nice strawberries and they even taste good! It can be so hard this time of year. I usually love pineapple right now but unfortunately I barfed after eating some a couple of weeks ago and now I am afraid of it.....boooo!!!!

The Wheels Keep Spinning!
Again I found myseld stressing about my weight today. I managed to put it to the back of my mind for a while but it keeps creeping in. I find myself daydreaming about a workout schedule and what I should/want to be eating. I guess it can be a good thing?
I got sick again last night - I really need to make sure I am on top of my pills so I can stop this cycle. I am very tired right now and achy and I just want to feel good again. I am hoping to get back to the gym this week and I think Wednesday will be the start. Being off work for 2 weeks has screwed up the hubs and I at work and unfortunately he won't be able to get off work early enough for me to get to the gym. I miss my workouts so much! My body has been so achey this pregnancy - the extra 30 pounds has really had an effect on me this time. I really regret not trying harder the lose the weight after Grace. Not that I can change anything now but hopefully it will help me motivate myself after this little bundle arrives.

The Future
It has been a really long time since I have posted. This pregnancy has run me down and now that I have started the diclectin I am feeling much better!
We went for a beautiful family trip to California and Disneyland! It was amazing! Seeing Grace experience Disneyland was really amazing. All 4 grandparents came with us so that was a huge help. I am so tired but it was worth it!
When we were on the second part of our trip with my parents at their trailor I kept seeing magazines about weight loss. I have gained 11 pounds in 6 months and I am starting to.....panick about losing the weight. I see all these celebs and others that just drop the weight and I never managed to lose the weight from the first! I don't want to be panicking about this. I was to enjoy being pregnant but I can't help but think about my "plan of action". I have to admit that I am scared.......scared that I won't be able to do it. That I will keep struggling the way I have.
Right now - I need to put that all aside and concentrate on being healthy for this baby. I will have to concentrate on the weight loss later, when it is actually time.

Christmas!
Well Christmas is finally over and I have to admit that I am a little relieved. We had a busy holiday and are still going. We had a major milestone with Grace - she no longer uses her soo-soo (pacifier) at all! This is big for us. With another baby coming in June I really wanted to be past this stage. She was great over the holidays - we baked cookies for Santa and left carrotts for Rudolph. It is so amazing seeing Christmas through a little ones eyes again! It has really made the holidays fun again. Here is Grace with Santa:
She did so well! He asked her about Princess's and she was all his!
I am 16 weeks today and feeling so much better! I had a bladder infection about 2 weeks ago and I am finally feeling better. The antibiotics are finally out of my system and the extreme nausea is gone. I feel like I can get back on track with my eating and back to the gym. I very luckily do not have to go back to work until Wednesday so I will probably be away from the gym until then. This is the longest break I have taken in a while and let me tell you I HATE not going. I really miss exercising and I find myself craving it. I guess this is a good way to feel. Hopefully this will be the longest break I take until I give birth. I will be away for 2 weeks in February as we are taking Grace to Disneyland with the Grandparents (both sets) and then spending a week with my parents at their trailor in California! We are all so excited and I can not wait!
I bought myself a pregnancy magazine for fitness as I was really unsure as to what would be best to do while I was there. I was not sure what was safe to do. From looking at all the different exercises I think I should be able to keep myself in pretty good shape. I am not sure which starting point I should use for my weight at this point. When we started trying I stopped weighing myself regularly. I was about 190 when I stopped weighing and I was 194 at my first appointment. I am currently about the same. I fluctuate a little because I have been so sick. I guess I will say 190 is my start and I am really hoping to keep it down to about 20 pounds gained. I gained 35 with Grace but I started out at 165. I am just going to do the best I can and eat the best I can.

It's Going to Go Away
That is my Mantra right now - the nausea is going to go away. I guess it helps keep the weight off. I still have trouble eating a full meal but I am trying to make them as healthy as possible. It can be really difficult when all you want is beige....it sits to much better!
We have started telling people and it makes it a little more exciting =)
I have sadly been neglecting the gym. Christmas is such a busy time for me at work and everyone has been sick! Any suggestions for fitting activity in? I try and do what I can but I am feeling pretty yucky at night and very tired! I thought my energy was going to come back? I could really use some right about now as I deparately need to get stuff done before Christmas! It is just over 1 week away and I need to get cleaning and wrapping!

Doctor
Well today I went to the doctor for my first full check up. I hate this part of pregnancy - you start losing all of your dignity.....People looking at everything you've got and public weigh ins. I have really been watching what I eat but after a weekend in the states and too much salt I ended up with about a 2 pound gain. Not too bad considereing but I really need to be careful . I do not want to end up with high blood preassure. This pregnancy started off with me being diagnosed with an underactive thyroid and having to start taking a daily medication for the first time in my life. I do not like this....I am happy that the thyroid thing brought some of my struggles into perspective....not that I want to stay on this medication - when this pregnancy is over I am going to work really hard to get myself off of this medication.
We have been having such a busy couple of months and with Christmas coming it isn't going to get any better. I am wiped but I just can't seem to say no to anyone. I am really looking forward to the time off between Christmas and New Years. We only have one plan to meet my cousin and her family in Seattle to check out the zoo all lit up for Christmas! Grace will be 3 in April and this has to be the most excited I have been for Christmas since I was a kid! Her eyes light up everytime she sees something that has to do with Christmas and it just makes me feel warm inside.

Well......
Hello Everyone! I hope all of my American friends had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I have been away for quite a while as I got a little distracted......
The Baby Weight is going to be going in the other direction! I am currently 11 weeks pregnant! We are so excited! Grace can't wait to be a big sister!
So this blog is going to be going in a different direction. I am trying really hard not to go over board in the eating department. I have felt pretty sick for these firtst 11 weeks. I have been trying to eat smaller meals bu things are pretty bland. I am looking forward to being able to add things back into my diet and being able to eat a whole meal without feeling like I am going to be sick.
I have really missed blogging. Can't wait to get caught up!
