I am so tired. I have the energy of a ... cat. A very lazy cat. Much like mine. Maybe even less energy than that, I must say since I can hear Max wandering around meowing. I wish I could sleep 18 hours a day like they do. Work would probably frown on that.
Is it too early to start taking pictures of myself? Probably, but I swear I already look like I am about 4 months along, it's ridiculous! I would say it is just remnants from all the beer I was drinking earlier this spring, but honestly my tummy was getting nice and flat there for a few weeks from all the core work I was doing, I was proud. But not anymore! Even when I try to suck it in I am pretty thick around the middle, and my pants are tight. My days in size 10's are over for sure. I am debating whether I should hang on to them for post baby days or just send them to Goodwill and buy new stuff later. I will probably keep them. I have a lot from Express that were not cheap and still fairly new.
I met with HR and my boss this week to get the scoop on leave. With pregnancy disability and FMLA technically I can take up to 18 weeks off (not paid of course). When the time comes I will probably only have about 8 or 9 weeks worth of pay, so we'll see what happens. It is not my desire to go back to work full time anyway so it will be interesting to find out just how much we can really live on.
Well I am going to go force myself to do a little workout DVD with lots of lunges. Got to keep these legs in shape!

TAKE PICTURES OF YOURSELF! Never too early! Although now that I think about it, I think the first picture I have is from 12 weeks. Or wait ... oh, I don't know. I'll have to look.
When's your next appointment? What's next on the docket?
Haha! I am so glad someone else is going through this. I'm reading in my What to Expect that most women don't even gain weight in the first trimester. Pshaw!
I seriously have to go buy some new pants. And it really is mostly in my tummy, so if it's not baby, I don't know what it is.
I wasn't sure about the pictures yet either which is why I took picturs of myself, but not really of my tummy. I'm still self-conscious about that. This in between time is kind of annoying. I know as soon as I get big, I'm going to want my figure back, but this "big lunch" look is for the birds. I want people to not have to wonder when they look at me, ya know?
I have no idea how you are working full time and doing school feeling like this. I'm having a hard time and my schedule is not nearly as full as yours. Kudos.
