____ we're in a tight spot!

Well, my body has certainly been doing some strange things... it's amazing how it seems to have revolted on me, as if I have no control or say in any matters physical henceforth. It's definitely calling the shots, that's for sure.

I've had a few more cravings since the cheese incident, mainly for other dairy products. I really wanted Honey Nut Clusters, and then realized that I mostly wanted it for the milk (although I still don't like to drink it alone). I've always hated milk, so this has been strange (having 1-2 bowls of cereal each day *sigh*). Then I found out that Baby is growing teeth right now, and that my body needs extra calcium! Ahhh, the wonders of nature - it's amazing how God made our bodies to be so in tune with baby, even if we have no actual idea of what's going on, it just knows!

So I love milk, red meat (which is very very very unusual) and un-ripe bananas (unheard of - I have always HATED bananas - except when I was in Ethiopia where they have the most amazing bananas EVER! I'm serious - I hate bananas but these were the most delicious and wonderful things I have ever eaten... you should go there and try for yourself!)... Other than that, I hate pizza crust (previously my favorite part), and I've only recently been able to stomach the sweeter side of life (and unfortunately, this has brought on yearnings for ice cream and red velvet cake - both of which I have indulged)... *sigh*

We have our first doctor's appointment tomorrow - eek and yay! I really don't like going to the doctor (I never grew out of that one) but I'm REEEALLY hoping that we'll get to hear the heartbeat, so I'm also excited! Andy's going to come with me - hopefully to hear the heartbeat and also to find out what blood type he is (because I'm A-Negative and I may have to take some medication to protect the baby if he is a positive blood type).

Oh, and in regards to the title of this post - I have still not gained a single pound (in fact I lost about 5-7 lbs. in the first few weeks), and yet somehow, miraculously, my pants are all too tight! I don't have a baby bump yet, but I'm definitely getting a little extra padding in the waist regions - so, even though I haven't gained any weight, I'm getting fatter! Ahh, the wonders of nature at work yet again!

Well, I'm off to bake dinner for a family who just had a baby - even though it's naptime!
