My Bump, My Bump...

  14 Weeks today! Woohoo! This week, baby is the size of a lemon! And, I have an honest to goodness lovely baby bump! It feels ginormous, but when I look in the mirror, it's not really that big. But, strangers know I'm pregnant. A very kind pharmacy tech made an extra effort to show me where the bathrooms were around the hospital conference room, because she "remembers what it was like to be pregnant", which I very much appreciated. I'm actually feeling pretty good right now, just a little tired. I tried to go for a walk yesterday, but it started raining. I took a nap instead.

  I wore my first all maternity outfit today because nothing fit anymore. I was actually shocked that the shirts fit because, only a few weeks ago, they were WAY too big!

  I'm currently sitting at Panera Bread having a carb fest. I tried to resist. I really did. But, my stomach was grumbling and I happened to be in the vicinity...I started out with a cup of Summer Corn Chowder and a salad with baguette. But I was still hungry. So, now I'm working on the bread bowl of Summer Corn Chowder! I can't get enough of it! SO amazing! Hey, at least I had a salad!

  I have my first OB appointment tomorrow. I'm a little nervous that something has gone wrong in the seven weeks since I had my last ultrasound. I'm also nervous that I've developed gestational diabetes. (Probably since walking into Panera. There's no way my pancreas can keep up with the onslaught of glucose I'm taking in right now!) I did purchase one of those inexpensive dopplers and I've been able to pick up a heartbeat, so, that makes me feel a little better. But, I will continue to be nervous until tomorrow and I'm reassured that everything is okay. And then I will cease being nervous for about 15 minutes and then resume. Probably for the rest of my life.
  I just calculated the calories of my meal and it had about 1,500 calories. That's more than I normally eat in a day!!! No wonder my maternity clothes are fitting so well! Good grief! I gotta slow down on the eating...
  So, anyway, I think that's all for now. I will update tomorrow after my appointment.
