Insane Thoughts of a Preggy Lady

Amazingly enough, I’ve been gaining weight. Woohoo! It’s so hard for me to gain that I was afraid my prenatal visit would say I didn’t, or worse yet, if I had actually lost weight. For me, to lose weight is a whole lot easier than to gain weight. Since November, I’ve gained 8 pounds, and that is mostly the baby. However, I would also like to think that I’m getting some more meat on my bones, and that a bit of those poundages are added to me in general, and not taken up all by Bean. Heh. I’ve been eating like a pig. Nonstop. During the weekdays I feel like such a cow, often having two lunches. Last Friday I got all pissy at Jenbug for refusing to go out for a second lunch with me. Heh. I bet this week will be like that too. I’m 19 weeks this week, and next week will mark my halfway point through the pregnancy. I’m not as big as I’d like to be, and I can’t wait for when that happens.

I’ve finally cleaned the whole house this weekend, with the exception of one last load of laundry and vacuuming (since we don’t have our robo vac). Dusted, cleaned the bathrooms, the kitchen, the living room. Woo. Not bad at all!
