i'm trying to be good!

I was very motivated at the beginning of my pregnancy that I was going to eat healthy, not drink caffeine, exercise all the time, etc.  Well, it is harder than I thought!  I find myself thinking "oh, it doesn't really matter" and then give in to a hot dog or a glass of coke at the movie theater.  I guess I go in spurts.  Some days I eat really well, and then other days I just give in.  

I didn't realize that there were so many rules of what you can or cannot do (or should or should not do, I guess) when pregnant!  I've been finding out a bunch of things the past few weeks that I didn't realize!  I ate homemade ice cream over the 4th of July and didn't realize until later that I'm not supposed to eat raw eggs!  Oops.  I had 3 or 4 bowls of that yummy peach ice cream.  Someone else told me that I'm not supposed to use bug repellant with deet in it. I had no idea!  I asked my Dr about that one, and she said that it's not that big of deal.  Also, they say not to eat processed foods...and hot dogs always sound good!  I know that these things aren't big deals, but I really do want to have a really healthy pregnancy...so I want to try to avoid these things when possible.  

I'm now at 14 weeks.  Kind of crazy to think about.  This morning when I was getting dressed Tyler told me to stop and turn sideways.  He then said "it's coming!".  I've been noticing a difference lately, but it is very very small.  The ladies at work keep waiting for me to pop out - they examine me about every day!

The nausea hasn't quit, but I think that it has slowed down some.  Either that or I'm just getting used to it.  I still have to eat quite often or I feel sick.  Today I was in a meeting with my bosses and it was going really long.  I kept thinking that I could last, but eventually I had to ask them if I could go grab a fig newton.  It gets to a point where I can't think about anything else. :)  I was fine after I had my newton.
