How are you feeling?

Everyone has been asking me how I am feeling... Well, thankfully, I haven't had any morning sickness and very little weight gain but I'm eating like a pig! This child is going to come out looking like a tub of ice cream! Sometimes I can't even wait until I get home from work to eat dinner and find my car automatically making a b-line for the nearest sandwich shop. Thank goodness for Jason's Deli! My boobs hurt a lot at the beginning of the pregnancy but I think they have plateaued for the moment. My energy has stayed the same as before I got pregnant, but I can't seem to get enough sleep at night. I am slow moving in the morning, getting to work later and later. I average 6 1/2 to 7 hours of sleep per night, I know, under the recommended amount. I blame it on my being so busy during the day but I promise myself I will slow down next month. So basically, no signs of being pregnant. I keep running through the evidence to support my pregnancy... prego test (which Rick has a picture of), doctor says so, we saw the spec in the ultrasound, I heard what the doctor says is the baby's heartbeat, and my hips must be expanding because my pants don't fit anymore. Also, I have an unnatural craving for tomato sauce and I have lots of gas! But at least it isn't heartburn... yet. So I really can't complain about being uncomfortable. I keep thinking 'God only gives us what we can handle' and in my case with this pregnancy, I really believe that because if any of you know me, you know that birthing and cleaning babies really aren't my thing (to put it modestly) so if I had to worry about all of that AND be uncomfortable through pregnancy, it might push me over the edge. :P
