The first trimester left me less than satisfied in the food department. I found myself basically avoiding food in general because nothing smelled good or tasted good. I got full so fast it wasn't even worth it to order anything at a restaurant. It also became one of the reasons that I didn't really believe that I was pregnant. Wasn't I supposed to be hungry all the time?
I definitely thought the second trimester would bring a new light. The past two weeks have mimicked the entire first pregnancy then yesterday I had a break through. Actually, this morning. I craved food. Just food in general. I had three bowls of cereal! Then I started thinking about lunch.... then I went to the grocery store and picked up a roasted chicken breast came home and made mashed potatoes! What? Seriously!
Just got done licking my plate and I couldn't be happier. Finally I can enjoy food again and it not be a chore or something I dread doing. I can see my future appointment now where Dr J is mad because I gain too much after not gaining enough. You know what. I don't care about the weight as long as Belle is healthy and I am too. That doesn't mean I am going to eat an entire cake but I will eat whats good for us both.
Last week I finally started to gain some weight. While I not back up to my starting weight I have no doubt that with this new appetite that I soon will be visiting that number again. Life is great and back to normal! Today is just a great day :) and now off for a walk in the sun with the Aussie. Hope everyone is as happy as I am because this feels great.
Tchau,
Sara
