So.... I braved our home scale yesterday. I had been very worried about it seeing as we just spent seven consecutive days eating HUGE meals and I had dessert with almost every one of them.

And... surprisingly? I had lost two pounds. So... yay... I guess? I'm still up 13-14 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight, but I weigh about what I weighed before I even GOT pregnant with Ben. (stupid office job+eating out every day.. ugh) So I'm feeling okay about it.

I'm eating pretty normally, though often times the need to eat a lot of food QUICKLY comes on FAST. (ask my poor inlaws who, more than once, were forced to eat lunch at 11:15 while we were on vacation) I'm also starting to experience a symptom I didn't get with Ben until MUCH later. The food I eat just sort of hangs out in my esophagus/stomach... it just lays there like a lump and it's NOT comfortable. I know it's probably due to the whole system slowing down beacuse of pregnancy hormones... so I'm going to beg for a prescription for Reglan when I go to the doctor on Monday. I took it with Ben (though at that point, he was squished so far up into my stomach that it hardly helped at all) with no adverse side effects. It's supposed to help the food move through your stomach a little more quickly...

I'm overdue for a belly pic... maybe later today. :) Though I feel huge, I'm not sure that much has changed visually since the last picture I took. I'll let you be the judge.
