As we are heading toward the end of our 1st trimester (3 more weeks!), some of my early pregnancy symptoms are disappearing! I no longer feel any cramps and my skin is clearing up nicely. I am also not feeling as tired and only take occasional naps in the afternoon (3 times a week?). I do feel bloated all the time and you may think I'm crazy but I am already showing :( My stomach used to be flat and now there is always a little bump.... I still fit into my clothes fine but the bump is definitely there! I feel like such a fatty. I feel hungry all the time, so I snack through out the day. I have to eat small meals now because I get extremely uncomfortable when I overeat. This has been tough because I am used to eating until I am 100% full but now I have to control myself so I am only 70% full. Here is what my eating schedule is like on a normal school day:
7:30AM- On our way to school, I usually stop by a bakery and grab a bun and a cup of milk tea (it's my cup of caffeine a day, it's allowed!)
10:15AM- Right before the end of my prep period I would snack on a yummy washington apple. You won't believe this but I used to hate apples before getting pregnant, now I crave them! Sometimes I can have multiple apples a day!
11:30AM- On Monday and Wednesdays I am free during this period so I would have a cup of FAGE yogurt or any other fruits I may have brought that day
12:40PM- This is my lunch period and I would have my apple (if I didn't have time to eat that in the morning) or my yogurt (if I didn't have that break at 11:30AM) first and then I usually have left overs from previous night's dinner... yumm!
3:00 PM - 5:00PM - depending on the day, I usually get home anytime from 3:00PM to 4:30PM and by this time I am usually starving and would have another snack. Lately, I've been either having guacamole or salsa dip with chips, and/or some fruits (black berries, blue berries, clementines, another apple?), or cereal.
8:00PM- We usually have late dinners because Danny doesn't get home until then. It's always a struggle not to overeat during dinner time since I am so used to having ginormous dinners :( but Danny has been good at warning me that I am overeating lol
So that's it- my preggo diet! I have been weighting myself on a weekly basis and I am happy to say that I haven't gained any weight yet and the goal is not to gain anything until we are 5 months pregnant (Dr Wong's order!). I am optimistic about that goal since my metabolism has been high and it's just been rare for my weight to fluctuate either way.
I am so excited/anxious/hopeful about the rest of the pregnancy (30 more weeks?)... can't wait! =D
