Belly time!

Goodness gracious! Only 9 weeks along and I already have a belly!! I was reading different things and I guess this is totally normal since your abdominal muscles are much more lax your 2nd (and so on) pregnancies. I think I'm just fat, but Joe reassures me that it's just because I'm pregnant. Thank heavens for a wonderful & reassuring husband. One who CERTAINLY doesn't mind that my boobs are now bigger too! Thankfully I haven't been nearly as nauseous as I was with Tyler, but when it comes, it doesn't like to let up! I have only had 3 days of puking so far (which I am NOT complaining about!) but when it's one of those days, it tends to really knock me out for the whole day. Today I threw up right before breakfast, but kept breakfast down. Then I just threw up a few minutes ago (about 3:30 pm). So maybe today I'm just vomiting because I get too hungry... which is entirely possible. Speaking of hungry, that is the BIGGEST difference! I am eating like a HORSE!! I can eat an entire meal, and then just an hour or so later, I'm not just hungry, I'm STARVING! It drives me nuts! At first I tried to hold off because I had JUST eaten, but the hard part is that if I hold off, then I just go into nausea & puking. So I end up eating 3 meals and then 3 big snacks a day. I really need to go stock up on fruits & veggies so at least I'm eating HEALTHY snacks. Right now it's more cookies & fudge that have been so readily available during the holidays!

I also just got a huge box of maternity clothes in the mail today that I had ordered from eBay. I am so excited! They are mostly all either Old Navy or Gap maternity clothes... and those brands aren't cheap! There is a pair of Old Navy maternity shorts that I am SO excited about... they are SO comfortable! It's funny how I'm suddenly excited about things like maternity clothes & baby names. :-D
