Oh, what an appetite!
I, of course, started my day with a pregnancy test to make sure that I am still pregnant today. There are definitely 2 lines, and the “yes” line is getting darker every day.
Working has been hard this week because I am very excited and preoccupied. I think that I will calm down with time as it all sinks in.
Today I went to Target to buy a baby shower gift, and I couldn’t believe that I could actually “legally” browse through the baby section. No more wandering through looking longingly at the strollers, tiny socks, and hooded towels for me. I belong in the baby section now!
We went over to our neighbors’ house for dinner tonight. I ate a turkey burger for lunch at around 12:00. By late afternoon, I was STARVING! I don’t know if I was hungry because I’m pregnant or if my lunch just didn’t fill me up. I’m very afraid of gaining too much weight in the first trimester, so I am afraid to start eating whenever I’m hungry. I decided to hold out for dinner, but that was a very hungry few hours.
After dinner I read in a pregnancy book that your calorie intake should increase by 100 calories per day in the first trimester. So, maybe I will add a yogurt in the afternoon or something.
