8 weeks

I’m now 8 weeks pregnant and feeling a bit fat, although my friends assure me they can’t notice the difference. They HAVE noticed my boobs getting bigger though. lol, like I needed more of those. They’re a bit painful so I guess I got lots to look forward to there.

At Alex’s request I’ve started a week by week section where I’ll take a photo each week of my growing tummy. At the moment any tummy that’s there I think is fluid and evidence of the crap food I’ve been eating sometimes. I can’t help it, it seems the hormones and tiredness are making me eat badly. Considering I’m normally very healthy I can see why some women put on so much weight during pregnancy. The hormones really take their toll on your body!

So I’ve decided this week I need to sharpen up and just not by any bad food any more. I’ll let myself have some when I’m out and stuff, but at home I need to stick to healthy stuff, it’s just not doing me good.

Because there’s so many limitations on what I should and shouldn’t have during pregnancy, I light-heartedly suggested to Alex the other night that he support me and follow the same restrictions, ie. no alcohol and caffiene (since I don’t drink much coffee anyway I’ve decided to just cuz it out of my diet). When I said this to him he just laughed at me, hah!

    A little of what you fancy does you good you know!!! Wouldnt worry too much about avoiding this and that, just stay away from raw foods and soft cheese. Eat what you feel is right for you and your baby.
