So I've noticed something about myself these past several months. Unlike the typical pregnant lady you hear about eating everything in the fridge, since I have been pregnant I don't like to eat. Now don't get me wrong I still enjoy food its just I get full so much easier at mealtimes than I ever did before. I can't sit down to dinner and eat nearly as much as I used to. I am sure this has something to do with the fact that my stomach is smaller since the baby is squishing it, but its just weird to me. I guess when I got pregnant I had visions of eating not only anything I wanted but as much of it as I wanted. Just not true. I'm lucky if I can make it through a 1/2 of a 6" sub from Subway without feeling stuffed. Now I know that the baby needs the nutrition so don't worry I am doing the whole eat six times a day and I've gained enough weight that the doctor is not worried or anything, but it's hard. I never thought it would be hard to "pig out" but it is. It was especially difficult the first 16 weeks when I threw up everything I ate. Anyway, just a random thought..was anyone else like this?
On a side note, we finished our last birthing class last night and Matt had to put on the "sympathy belly," it was pretty funny. I'll post pictures tonight.
