I wish I had known...

i used to think, 'when i get pregnant, i will eat organic, do yoga everyday, and take care of my body.'

dear idealistic, unpregnant liz,

you are a moron.

love, pregnant liz


i'll be honest. i eat whatever i feel like. most of the time, it's healthy. fruits, veggies, proteins, dairy, and lots of water. however, i try not to feel badly when i eat an entire sleeve of saltines, or peach cobbler from my mom. i mean, it's fruit and bread right? i can eat that for breakfast. and while i'm at school? forget it. i eat whatever doesn't make me sick which usually includes some form of pizza.

now, i have worked out since being pregnant. i've been very proud of myself, even though going to the gym these days is kind of funny. i used to be able to run like a mad woman, but know walking on the treadmill takes my breath away. i know i need to work out more, but it's hard when you are asleep at 6:45 every night. i feel that as long as i pack on the correct amount of pounds during this, i'll be ok.

everyday, i feel very grateful and laugh at my 'old' self. it's fun to be optimistic and idealistic, until reality hits.

it's really hard not to tell people. we have our ultrasound on tuesday and we may make it public after that, but who knows. i kind of like having a secret. it's just hard to lie.
