The Good and the Bad.

I will start with the good news. I am pregnant and very nearly to the good phase of pregnancy. Yeah! The bad news, I have been a slug lately. No exercising - plenty of sleeping and crying though (pregnancy hormones make me cry when I hear country music, or anything remotely spiritual). Oh, and here's a first; I drank pickle juice straight from the jar. It was so good. And then I chased it down with frosting covered marshmallows. I am heartily ashamed to admit that, especially since the mere mention of them makes me want to vomit today.

Bottom line, I do not want to go up yet another size with this pregnancy. So far, I have three children and have gone up a size with each one. Not a pretty trend. This means exercise. I know this. Knowing that no matter what I do, I will be gaining weight for the next six months is a bit demoralizing though. I need motivation. I just watched the biggest loser and that helped, but I need to figure out something that will get me out there daily. I can't wait for Tuesday. Ladies, I am going to need some ideas.

    Congratulations, Bethany! How have you been feeling? When are you due? Ours is due to arrive August 10th. This pregnancy has made things difficult to stick to my chosen diet (gluten-free and primal), but lately I have had an aversion to everything except V8.
    I was thinking it would be fun to keep this one a surprise since we are set for either a boy or a girl, but I don't think I can stand the suspense! I don't know how you did it! And the task of choosing a boy's name AND a girl's name?! That is just too much. M. didn't have a name until the night before we left the hospital.
    Sending good vibes your way... I am so excited for you!
