This pregancy has been slightly different from the last. I didn't care for hearty meals as I got really full and gassy. I didn't like thick or oily meat...I hated pancit and white rice. So weird. Now, I like everything and want to eat all the time. I'm just being very careful how much carbs I intake though. OK-so I think normally, I have cravings of food as a non-prego person. However, this time around, I'm not sure if its will power because I have definite interest in particular foods AND must have it! Seems this time around, I'm giving in to the excuse I give many prego ladies I see--excuse to eat whatever they want and give in to the cravings. I somewhat have will power, but when it comes to meat...I'll try to obtain it or it'll drive me nuts :D.
Tell me if this a craving or an excuse to eat whatevers-two nights ago, just before I went to bed, the last thought on my mind was "Sourdough Jack-I'd like me some Sourdough jack" as I trail off into dreamland. In the AM, I wake up and thinking the same thing! My tummy agreed. So of course, later that evening for dinner, I told my hubby (Big M) "I don't know what you want for dinner, but I'm gonna get me a Sourdough Jack at Jack in the Crack". And I did! It was so freaking delicious.
As of February 28, 2012- Big M and I did *the* test! It's official, the stick said "Yes-you are expecting baby #2 or "Unit 2" (geek reference to Evangelion Anime). We were casually trying off and on. We honestly didn't want to have Unit 2 same month as Lil' M's birthday! Low and behold-we conceived sometime in end of January and per BabyCenter's Due Date Calculator, Unit 2, will be due 2 days after Lil' M's birthday! Arrgh. Yeah-pretty smart to be casual about in February :). Oh well, life means uncontrolled situations may occur. We'll take a happy/healthy baby that'll have a birthday closer to it's sibling over nothing.
It's almost a month since we found out. This time around, it seems that my appetite is much bigger and I'm not exactly grossed out by the things I used to be (e.g. white rice and ESPECIaLLY meat). I wouldn't say I have morning sickness (which differs from last time) because yeah I get gaggy w/awful smells, but I'm just more gassy. Very gassy. If I was home and not working, I'd be burping my ass away.
My first OBGYN appointment is this Friday and I'm nervous. I'm nervous about the dredded lab tests and getting GD again. I'm not sure if they'll find out so soon. But-that's what I'm dredding. I'm trying to eat better, but dangit the carbs are calling me and I'm so hungry. I hope I don't get grossed out by meat in latter months. That's why I'm training myself to eat more protein while I do like food. I'm going to bring Lil' M with me to the appointment. This time Big M can't come due to work. I have never brought Lil' M to my Dr. appointments-so this'll be interesting.
