12 weeks 4 days

Right now -- this pregnancy is all about insomnia and cravings...

Every night about 12:30 I wake up and rush to the bathroom. I can't believe it's happening already, but I swear my bladder is shrinking, and I have to go in the worst way. Literally, it seems like all I have to do is lie down and fall asleep and PRESTO! the bathroom is calling. Then, I have the worst time falling asleep again -- my mind starts wandering and I think of the most ridiculous things -- which just makes me angry because I can't sleep. It's a vicious cycle!

So, I've been trying to not drink anything before bed, but inevitably I forget to take my prenatal vitamin, so I end up drinking anyway.... UUUUUUGH! It's maddening!

My cravings are also starting to kick in, and thankfully, Katherine and Caleb, will eat right along with me. Our morning tradition of pancakes has fallen away, and the three of us share TWO grapefruits -- because one is not enough! I have to laugh, grapefruits are now one of their favorite foods. The more sour the better!

Then, today we were at Target picking up a few last minute things, I ended up in the frozen foods isle -- right by the pizza. Remember those super cheap Tostino's pizzas -- they're like $1.00 each??? I haven't had one since living in the sorority house in college, but as soon as I saw them I couldn't help myself -- I threw FOUR in the cart. As soon as I got up to the check out I was totally embarrassed. Who really buys these things anyway??? I'm sure the check out girl thought I was feeding this junk to my kids -- but NOPE -- these babies are all for me!! How sad am I?

As soon as I walked in the door I threw one in the oven, and man... in was Heaven! I devoured that thing like I hadn't eaten in a year. It was sooooo yummy! Speaking of cheap college foods .... Danyel was telling me that she made hamburger helper the other night, and I was about drooling. What is it with the food I ate in college that my mom would NEVER have served us as kids???? Matt better watch out! He just may be eating Hamburger Helper slop some night soon!

So far, I haven't gained any weight, so really will one (or in my case 4) Tostino's pizzas really hurt? Here's to hoping not!
