Mom-to-be update...
I am about 16 weeks along (156 days to go) and am finally getting my energy back!! Yeah! I have lucked out with not getting morning sickness which I was so thankful for!! I have slipped (more like, been forced) into a few maternity clothes even though I have not "popped" yet. My doctor says it will be any time now that my belly starts looking like a pregnant ladies belly!!
So far adjusting to my new body, energy levels and food interests have been the most eventful/challenging things. I am creating an entirely new wardrobe for spring and summer which so far so good, but definitely different from last years! I am able to exercise more which gives me more energy throughout the day. I have been incorporating a few cups of coffee during the week which helps with my energy as well. I stopped drinking caffeine for the first few months just to be safe. I have discovered non-alcoholic Wine (which is one of the greatest inventions) and have enjoyed a few non-alcoholic beers during special occasions. I haven't had too many weird food cravings except for cheese and raspberry ice cream (which Trav so kindly drove to three different stores to find).
I broke down the other night and ate something I haven't had in about 14 years! For those of you that don't know, I haven't eaten red meat or pork since I was about 14 years old. I didn't think it would happen to me, but the other night I really wanted a hot dog for some reason. So Trav threw a couple on the BBQ and we ate a hot dog together!!! I must admit it wasn't half bad, BUT I don't advise anyone who hasn't eaten meat (or parts of meat) in that long to start off with a hot dog!!! The experience was memorable, but I don't think I will be eating another hot dog any time soon!
So far I don't have much to complain about or dish about either! More to come! :)

love it! cheese and raspberry ice cream?!?! they make that? Or did he sprinkle cheese over raspberry ice cream
Awesome! Can't wait to read more posts. So exciting!
Thanks for the comments! :) And for the record Shel, I did not eat the cheese and ice cream together. That would have been a great food craving story though. ;)
