PREGNANT!!!!!! AF didn't show up, not that I thought she would. I've had like 6 positive HPTs, so I don't think there's a lot of doubt. I'm still in a state of disbelief. Not on the outside, but on the inside. If that makes any sense. I CANNOT gain another 80 pounds with this baby. I've got a game plan for eating. First, combat cravings. There is no reason why I have to give in to them. Tonight, I really wanted LaRosa's. I don't know if it was an real "craving" or not, but regardless, I didn't have it. Last time, every whim I had, I called a craving and well, we see how that ended up. Second, eat fruit and chew gum. Hungry, but not really? Chew some gum, or have a banana. I'm not going to count calories. Third, plan ahead. Though this does not always work, it's a hell of a lot better than having no plan.

Breakfast: Bagel with cream cheese, bowl yummy cereal, and yogurt.
Lunch: Veggie stir fry
Dinner: Chicken w/ mozz and marinara, pasta, and double veg, and possibly bread.

That should keep me in decent calories and full most of the time. Pepsi (caff free) in the evening for sweet tooth or a PINT (not half-gallon) of ice cream.

Busy weekend, but not too bad. Mike's high school reunion - 15 year - was yesterday. Family picnic in the afternoon and bar at night. Both were okay. Afternoon I had Spencer to use as a source of entertainment/busy-ness. Evening I took the opportunity to work on my social skills. We met another couple that could be a lot of fun. They live in Lexington and Mike knew the man a little in high school.

Then another of Mike's buddies from HS, though not in his class, got married today. Mike is there now. I decided not to take Spencer and just stay home.

Tomorrow is supposed to be a shindig at Nadya's, but I called her today and she hasn't called back yet. I kinda hope either she doesn't or it's cancelled because I'd really like to go to the Ren Festival!

Spencer's been good. He was a little fussy tonight. I gave him Tylenol and a bottle, but I'm not sure which one was what he wanted/needed. I gave him peas and carrots for dinner and he threw up a lot of carrots. It was weird though, because they were mixed up completely, but he only spit up carrots. Maybe his little stomach doesn't like them. He was much happier after the bottle and Ty, so maybe it was an upset stomach and both things helped. :)

Mike listened to me again today. I told him he should call around before heading out to see what stores have an Element battery in stock. It's a weird special size, so it wouldn't be strange if no one had one. Luckily, the first place he called had one, so he got one and was done. I wouldn't have said anything if he had taken the Accord, but I didn't like the thought of being stranded. I would have kept the carseat and could have easily put it in the Jeep if an emergency arose, but I wouldn't have done that just to go to the grocery. I actually did go to the grocery. Wow!! The exciting times of a SAHM!!

Can't believe I'm pregnant. I know we were trying so it's not exactly a shock. I'm not even all that excited to tell people. I told Margot and we told T/L, but I don't have any real desire to call anyone else and tell them. Isn't it weird? I hope this isn't my mind prepping for a miscarriage. Sometimes my intuition get WAY ahead of reality. I'm sure I'm just reading things into life that aren't there. I'm just so concerned about my weight, which I know isn't completely healthy, but neither is having an eighty pound pregnancy! Oh well, live and learn, right?

Later...
