ALIVE
No crap.
Yesterday I ate more than I have done since I found out I was preggers.
Hmmm.
We had:
a yoghurt
1/2 cup of rice
some cashew nuts
2 blueberry muffins
2 pieces of peanut butter toast
1/2 a belly bar
and a burrito from Taco Hell.
HOLLAR!
Normally I survive on a couple of pieces of fruit a day and some cereal.
And I had more ENERGY than I have done in ... f o r e v e r .
Oh, it felt soooooooooo good!
And today, so far, (touch wood) I have energy also.
I am so EXCITED!
To paint!
To exercise!
To clean!
Things I have sorely missed.
Cross fingers for me that...well...that I'm back!!!
(and if I am back, then I could totally survive first trimester again...despite groaning for the past two months that NEVER EVER could I do this again)

Puked
Puked in the kitchen sink last night.
Nom nom nom.
Not getting enough vitamins or food.
Relost my appetite and am down another pound today.
Boy concerned.
Me concerned.
Best friend Lisa assuring me it's normal in the first trimester.
*hug*
For the first time in 14 years, I'm contemplating meat.
ICK EW GROSS YUCK SWEA$$#@RS.

Week 9
Fetal development in pregnancy week 9: fetus in third month
Congratulations! Your amazing growing baby has been accepted into to the fetus-club, a very exclusive and exiting new stage in their prenatal development. Basically, this means the little sweet pea has graduated from swimming embryo creature to a recognizable human being! This week in particular, the irises of their little eyes can function, but (frustratingly for them?) their eyelids remain fused shut for a while yet. Their external ears are formed and their inner ears are now filled with fluid—so your little one is already developing their sense of balance. Your baby's little swimmer legs are still relatively, although other bodily developments are going forward at a nice pace: their kidney is actually functioning now, which means they’ve started urinating (this might seem charming now but wait till you have to start buying diapers!).
And how's mom doing? You’re nearing the end of the first trimester and while there are plenty of dynamic and noticeable changes going on inside of you, not many changes are noticeable to you, with the exception of a mildly bulging midline-- which doesn't look pregnant enough to stop people from wondering if you need to lay off the donuts. Although your body might seem a little boring right now, you can expect the creeping-up-effect of weight gain as you will gain roughly 1-2 lbs gain per week (some more and some less). It’s not a bad idea to chart this to make sure you’re not over or underfeeding both of you. As you’ve entered into the Fetal Period, it might be a good time to evaluate your personal health regimen—that is, if you haven’t already. Are you eating enough protein? Remember, protein can be found in beans, soy products and nuts—it doesn’t have to be a 12 ounce sirloin! Are you sleeping well, exercising right, drinking enough (non-sugary) fluids and getting your vitamin C? Having a baby is the ultimate test for your body—if you take care of your health now you’ll come out of the pregnancy on top of your health and ready to be an energetic mother, if not, well, let’s just say, you’re increasing the chances of suffering from depression, osteoporosis, diabetes, obesity, and a multitude of little nasty viruses (think colds and flues) that good health could've beat before you even noticed they’d invaded.
