I saw this sandwich on the Food Network tonight. Now I really want one for breakfast tomorrow. A grilled spanky is a PB&J sandwich dipped in french toast batter, then cooked in the skillet. I will attempt this tomorrow, I think. I’ll use an egg white french toast batter and no butter, so it will at least be a little healthy.

At my very first doctor appointment I had him look over the weight training plan I had in mind. He approved it, at least until I get really big, as long as I was careful not to injure my joints. Well I have felt so crappy or tired, that I haven’t really been to the gym.

I decided to go today and it was pretty successful. At the end of my workout I started feeling really nauseous and gagging, so I stopped short of the last 2 exercises. But overall, I felt much better – a whole lot less tired.

Here’s my workout plan:
Sumo squats
Lunges
Pushups
Shoulder Press
Bicep Curl
One Arm Row
Seated Lateral Raise
Incline Bench Press
Triceps Kickback
** All of these performed with dumbbells, not a barbell **

11 weeks today, so I thought I’d take some pictures of my body. The last set I took was at 6 weeks, and honestly I didn’t think I had changed very much. Wow, pictures tell a different story. I have gained about 3 lbs and my clothes still fit. But I am starting to look different. I should probably be more modest and not share my exposed stomach here, especially since I am not terribly thin to begin with, but oh well… I am not that modest

Week 6	Week 11

Yeah, so I didn’t think I had changed much, and I haven’t really gained weight. It must be bloating, lol. That’s all I can come up with.

That is all….

A few days per week, I wake up at random hours in the morning unable to go back to sleep. Usually its around 4AM, and it doesn’t seem tied to the time I decide to fall asleep. I will get up to pee, then I can’t fall back asleep because either 1) my mind won’t shut down 2) I am starving or 3) there’s too much light / not comfortable / etc

Obviously this happened to me about an hour and a half ago, which is why I am awake at such an hour on a Saturday morning. I am soooo hungry. I ate a pear and some crackers, but I’m still hungry. Ridiculous. Maybe I’ll have some yogurt.

On top of being hungry, I’m really darn bored. I’ve decided to make the pear pie I’ve been putting off for a few weeks now. I bought some new pears yesterday, so its calling my name.

I wonder how long this will last?? Is there any way to fix it??

I finally got around to making some screen shots of our ultrasound DVD. We had the first ultrasound on April 5. We got to see the baby and hear the heart beat. The heart rate measured at 175 beats per minute. The baby was measured to determine his/her age. 1.74 centimeters. That means the baby was 8 weeks, 3 days on April 5. That fits right along with the due date of November 13. Here is a slideshow of the pictures. You can click on the Picasa logo at the bottom right corner to go to the web album with larger pictures.

I just ordered two Bloom’n Belly Bands on Ebay. Check out the listing here

I’ve heard they work like the Bella Band, so we’ll see when they get here. My pants are starting to get tight and half my shirts are short now because of my growing boobs. Hopefully this will help me look a little more presentable, lol.

I just created the blog today, so I haven’t really posted anything yet. Check back later!
