8 weeks and 3 days

Jump to Comments

I’ve been torn about whether or not to keep a baby journal. Part of me thinks it’s sweet and the other part (the dominant part) thinks it’s tacky and pointless because really, will my child ever care about the fact that by the time I was 8 weeks pregnant I had lost 10 pounds because I couldn’t eat anything? That EVERYTHING made me want to vomit, and that I was severely constipated? Probably not. Even if I wanted to, I can’t buy one here so it’s kind of moot.

I’ve read that losing weight in the beginning is normal, and don’t get me wrong, usually I would be all for losing weight. Except that regarless of my weight-loss, my pants are too tight and I spend most of time in yoga pants because they’re the only ones that fit. So, losing weight, but belly expanding. Totally not fair.

Also, my new B cup size is uncharted territory. I’ve always been a small A cup, and now I’m busting out of a B cup and I have no ides how to handle these bigger boobs, and the cleavage. Oh my sweet baby Jesus, the cleavage. Hubby loves it, of course, but I can’t help but feel slutty most of the time with these big boobs and cleavage. Like, HELLO! LOOK AT MY BOOBS! Most of the time I try to wear loose, baggy tops because we’re not telling anyone yet and if people start noticing that my boobs are bigger the cat’s out of the bag.

Some people have made comments, but I try to laugh it off, "Oh, you wouldn’t believe what a Wonder Bra does these days!"

And see, now I’m hungry (I’m ALWAYS hungry) and off to eat one of the three things that appeal to me right now; plain yogurt, Weetabix (to help with the constipation but also bland enough to not make me want to vomit), and toast with peanut butter. I’ve been living off these things for the past two weeks.

I should probably eat more vegetables, but guess what? The thought of eating something green makes me want to vomit.
