Yesterday I met Chris at the gym. He was feeling crappy because of allergies. I was feeling probably the best I've felt since becoming pregnant. It's amazing how your mood alters once you stop being nauseaus all the time. We started off with an easy cardio warm up for 10 minutes, then did back and abs. Apparently I am very strong for a girl :-) Already after only one work out with Chris, I noticed that despite the bulging belly, I do have a line of definition down my upper abs. After my work out, I told Chris that after the baby is born I expect him to get me a six pack and two tickets to the gun show (gesturing to my huge biceps).
Barbie joined me for the latter part of my workout where I did 30 minutes on the cross trainer with her. A true friend is one who will come to the gym to support your fitness goals, even though she hates working out :-)
My stomach seems to have taken on a life of its own this week. Last week it wasn't that noticable. I kind of looked like I had over indulged in holiday goodies, but not really a pregnant stomach. Today, though, it's protruding out to the front and there's no mistaking what it is. I'm kind of glad to have reached this phase because being as vain as I am, it's mortifying that people might look at me and think I'm just gaining weight for no reason. At least now people will know I'm pregnant.
I've been working my arse off to make sure I don't gain too much weight, although I'm supposed to have only gained 5lbs by now according to sources on the Web, and I have gained 10. ACK! Given the amount of working out I've done lately, though, I'm going to claim that at least 2lbs of that is muscle gain - and nobody had better tell me otherwise or I'll burst into an hormonal fit of tears and you'll feel really bad!
It seems that the growth spurt has not limited itself to my belly. Just when you think your jugs couldn't get any bigger, they do. So I'm going to claim at least another 1lb of this weight is boobs. So there, That's 3lbs accounted for out of the extra 5 I've put on. The rest is most certainly green tea ice cream, sugar cookies, and chocolate.

My first thought was "There's no fat in green tea!" Then I realized there was a comma missing. :)
I felt very nauseated twice this morning (perhaps from the tea I had and lack of sleep?) and even though both times were brief (2 min?), I really felt for any pregnant women out there. What a miserable feeling to have!!!!!!
Ah... all the things you have to look forward to some day... Let's just hope in the end it's worth all this ;-)
