The cravings have started.
Pregnancy is very interesting. Today at work I was in a conference room all day. We had one of the managers come in, and were asking him some questions, and it was lunchtime, so he had some chili with him. All of a sudden, I knew that I had to have chili for lunch, that was the only thing I wanted to eat. So I did. It was good. But it didn't end there.
Later on, the same manager stopped by again, and this time he was eating a Payday bar. After rummaging through my bag for some change, I went to the vending machine and got one of those, too. mmmmmmm, peanuts.
Somehow I doubt that I would have had the same reaction had he been munching on carrot sticks, or tofu, or something similarly healthy. Ah well. ¶ 10:06 PM

My first pregnancy, I had to get up at 4:30 in the morning, ride subway and busses for an hour, and be at work right at 6. And I had morning sickness. The only way I would make it was 1-2 candy bars every morning - somehow, jacking the bloodsugar level up helped. The downside was that I gained about 12 pounds by the time I was 12 weeks pregnant. (The upside was that since that was the time of my first doctor's appointment, the doctor was unaware of the weight gain, and considered the 42 lbs I gained after that still within the normal range. Grin. I don't think he would have been that happy with a total of 54 lbs, LOL.)
Wow! It will be interesting to see how much weight I'll gain. I feel like I've been eating a lot, but I've only gained 2 1/2 pounds since I got pregnant. I feel like it's more, I guess because I'm thicker around the waist than usual. It all usually goes to my butt. :-)
