A little over a week ago, we found out we're pregnant with baby three.
I'm actually very excited. We were praying about trusting God with our family size, and this was the result. It means having to move eventually. It means finding a bunch of baby gear again because all I have left is the Ergo. And mostly it means a new family member arrives in March.
To celebrate we went out for lunch and discussed why we were freaking out. For me it was the onset of morning sickness (I didn't handle it well with Abigail's pregnancy). For Adam it was the apartment size, the car size and freak out number 3: how fat will my wife get now.
Not that he said it in so many words. But let's face it. I weigh twenty pounds more now than before I had my two kids. That's ten pounds a pregnancy. That means I'll be THIRTY POUNDS overweight after this one if I don't make some changes!
But still, I really wish my husband would stop making left handed comments about my weight. Afterall, I blame him and his not wanting to eat what I made on our backtracking in our last diet...
Ok. Enough blame-placing. Time to get to business. And that means instead of just trying to SURVIVE morning sickness, I'm attempting to change the way we eat to a healthier lifestyle. I'm loosely modeling it on Primal, which helped me lose ten pounds and feel great in January and February. I'm following wellnessmama.com who is an inspiration.
But here's the thing. I'm doing it SLOWLY! Everyone's first step is to toss all the bad stuff and start cooking in a way that's foreign to me (spices? What are those??). No one helps me deal with reluctant HUSBANDS, although Wellness Mama has tips for reluctant kids. No one helps deal with all that food you just bought YESTERDAY that's not diet approved. No one teaches you how to like cooking or spices when you're a bland sandwich and pizza type of gal.
And I'm gonna blog about my slow journey. Hopefully it will stick! (Both the blogging AND the healthy food!)
And I'm gonna start tomorrow... Tonight it's pbjs because I'm so tired...
