Yep, pickles and chocolate milk are the perfect combo! I am totally having those typical pregnant cravings as Scott and I laugh about what sounds so incredibly delicious to me on different days. I am a bit sad that I can't eat my sushi or drink my coffee. :( However, I can have a california roll (imitation crab) and I do get decaf coffee about 2x a week because I like the taste. Not having wine or a beer is a bummer when we are out with our friends, but oh well, I would be an idiot if I did. I just tell my friends to have a glass for me.
I am discover that pregnancy is such an invasive process and you really have little control to what your body experiences at times. I feel that I have to just surrender to changes that are occurring (breast getting bigger, and weight gain). I feel that I have control over things like what I eat and exercise but other than that I am on this yoyo of a ride. My first trimester I felt completely exhausted, not wanting to do much of anything. Now I have my energy back and excersising and going to my yoga classes are things I am now looking forward. Found some pretty sweet yoga stretches that I should be doing daily in order to get my body stretched for labor. I think that anything I do now to help that process could help in a positive way. Currently we are thinking of going with the Bradley Method and take a class from a gal here in Portland, but that's another blog for another day. Right now I am just so happy to have energy back and some motivation to be active, I just hope I keep up with it.
