9 Weeks!

Another week down.  I can definitely tell the initial shock of the whole thing has worn off.  Although, I think I’m still in a little disbelief that it’s actually happening.  I mean, we talked about when Crinks has a brother or sister and this and that but to think it’s going to be a reality in 8 months!   Crazy!  I’m still tired but don’t feel like I’ve been as tired as the last couple weeks.  I’ve been pretty good about taking naps though.  Wait, that would probably take care of it huh? Hahaha. 

I’ve been struggling a little lately with the slight weight gain I’ve already experienced.  I’m already overweight.  During my first pregnancy, I was told I should only gain between 0 and 11 pounds because I started off overweight.  On the one hand, I started about 25 lbs less than I was when I was pregnant with Crinks.  But I think having seen the number on the scale go down over the last two years and feeling that accomplishment, it is a little touch this time around knowing it’s all going to go up again. 

On the bright side, I’ve been going to some group fitness classes (Zumba, tabatas, etc).  Hopefully it’ll be enough to keep me in a healthy weight gain range.  Now I just need to work on the food part, not eating everything…
