Week 15

I must look like I have gained about 15 lbs in my stomach only. Okay, so I've actually gained about 5-7 but ALL in my gut. I look like I enjoy a good 18 pack every now and later. I'm keeping calm by telling myself that this excess blubber is there so I stretch more easily in the next few months.
The more I experience and learn the more respect I have for my parents, especially my mom. I also loathe celebrities more. They make pregnancy look glamorous and easy. I gotta tell ya, and I've said it before : EVERYTHING IS DIFFERENT WHEN YOU'RE PREGNANT! Sinuses get dried out, headaches come on for no reason, you're tired no matter how much you sleep (past that now, yay!), you're hungry at unpredictable times with shocking intensity, moods aren't always reliable, acne acne acne, dry skin, teeth and gums hurt, heartburn regardless of what you eat, gas regardless of what you eat, occasional faintness, absent mindedness, and not to mention the stuff going on below the waist...yuck. Not to sound like a whiner, but I'm sick of women making this sound like the most beautiful pleasant experience. New mission of my blog, spread the word about the actual reality of pregnancy.
I've been getting the gym a couple times a week, not what I used to do but I think its still good. How many pregnant chicks do you see at the gym? ha! That's what I thought.
I'm starting to bust out of my pants (insert sarcastic "yay" here). I am eating a lot more balanced. Still hungry a lot but I'm trying to manage. Food bill is getting more expensive (sarcastic "yay" again).
I'm still stuck on where to live. My parents have mentioned helping me buy a house which seems like a great option. It also seems scary to be a new home owner and a new mom. I have had a couple people offer to let me stay with them but I would feel like a burden to them. Wants to live with a new/working mom AND a newborn? Not me. Hectic hectic hectic.

On another note, I finally found a part of target that sucks: the maternity section. The clothes look like they're for women in their 40s. Are those women having babies? Doubtful. Sucky. I'm on a mission to be a cute pregnant woman without spending a fortune on Heidi Klum's line or the like.
I had a crappy day at work, think it might be reflected in my writing. I'm still determined to get out of there while I still can. Wish me luck!
