It is six in the morning and I am up on a day I don't have to go to work writing in my blog. Perhaps this gives some insight into how pregnancy has been going. As I write this Andy and Amos sleep peacefully next to me before the morning light creeps in and another day begins. Sleeping has become a little restless. I am going to bed super early but find my self waking up constantly. You may be thinking it is too early for me to be uncomfortable sleeping, but as a devoted stomach sleeper it already is causing some discomfort, so I have resorted to trying to sleep on my side. This has caused much tossing and turning of the night. Apparently the best sleep position for circulation, and I think this goes for everyone, is on your left side with a pillow between your legs. Yeah, tried it, not loving it. I end up getting really hot or it ends up some odd place on the bed. I guess I just better get used to it though- lack of sleep that is.
In spite of all that overall I am feeling wonderful! I cannot tell you how much I am loving being pregnant! At 10 weeks and 4 days I have not had any morning sickness to date! So I am counting my blessings :) Besides being tired and hungry all the time that is about the only sypmtoms I am feeling- well for the most part. The hunger part is mostly my fault though. I am constantly thinking about food and what am I going to eat next? On the days that I work I pack a lunch to take with me and I never seem to have enough to get me through 8 hours. By the time I get home I feel sick and want to eat anything I can. My typical lunch before I got pregnant consisted of: turkey sandwich, yougurt, and usually pretzels. Well, the lunch meat is out, can't eat that when your pregnant and my yogurt had aspartame in it, another no-no. As a result I have been eating PB & J and a yogurt w/ out the aspartame. This is NOT enough to hold me over people! Any ideas on what I can take to work? No tuna, no sushi, no FETA!!?(one of my faves) I really don't care what I can or can't eat, it is worth it all for a healthy baby. When Andy and I went camping last weekend he got me some spakling cider so I could feel like I was drinking something fun while he was enjoying his real drink. Isn't that sweet? It was really good, I might just have to keep some of that around.

you are the cutest thing!!! carrot sticks is always a good thing to make you feel like your eating and easy to pack...also, nuts. good protein...again easy to haul around...you know it's been a LOOOOONG while since I've been pregnant...I'm reaching here!
I have an idea. If you want to get a head start on baby names, see what you think of the name " Reneé." No pressure here, but I just thought I'd put it out there for you :)
