I'm eating too much.

During the last year I gained some extra weight. I think it was because I could not go to my ballet classes and I was a little bit stressed. So, to begin with, my initial weight for this pregnancy wasn't the ideal. Still it's supposed to be healthy.

I started this pregnancy weighting 114lbs and by week 10, I was already weighting 117lbs! Honestly, I was getting concerned despite listening to my midwife saying that it is perfectly normal. I think some of you might agree that during the first trimester not many things sound tasty. But still I didn't lost weight like other preggo ladies claim! 

As I finish my twelveth week, I'm starting to notice that my appetite is coming back . Last night I was so hungry! I wanted food, immediately! I told myself that probably it was my crazy hormones unnecessarily activating all kinds of emergency commands. I had two options for dinner: a crunchy chicken wrap or a southwest chicken salad. Guess what? I ATE THEM BOTH! An hour later, I was in tears because I felt like the fat pregnant lady that would eat the table and chairs if she doesn't get any food every 2 hours! Again, it was the hormones!! "Calm down, baby is fine, let momma be relaxed!!" Oh, I am drama queen... 

Here's what I still can't explain: this morning I wanted to know how much I've gained after eating like a football team. Turns out I lost 2.2lbs, right now I'm weighting 114.8lbs... I think Baby is fine!

Before this week passes by, here's a picture of an accurate model of a fetus.

"Pregnancy changes you. It opens you up and breaks you into pieces, it makes you vulnerable and strong at the same time; then it reshapes you into a selfless unconditional lover. I believe motherhood begins right when you realize that you're carrying a tiny unique person inside of you."
