Can anyone tell me what I need to eat to get rid of this light-headed woozy feeling?? I know I haven’t been eating a lot the last few days, though I had a big dinner last night, but I still have this really woozy feeling and it’s pissing me off. It’s hard to get anything done when I can’t concentrate, and all I want to do is sleep. (And I already got PLENTY of sleep!) I just want to get some work done now… without fainting! I might go dig up some yogurt, see if that helps.

I’m going through the magazines and stuff that the doctor’s office gave me. The “new parent’s checklist” right at the moment. Maybe it’s because I’ve been looking at baby stuff for two years now… but I just look at this huge list and “tsk” to myself. I mean, do we really need that much stuff for a baby? Do I need to buy a ton of bottles and bottle brushes and bottle racks and formula… if I’m going to be breastfeeding? (I know things can go wrong with that, so maybe I’ll have a couple on hand, but I’m NOT going to buy the whole stash!!) All kinds of toys for every known baby gear… “netting” for every stroller and playyard and crib and bassinet… cloth diapers and lap pads and burp cloths and blankets and swaddle blankets?? I mean, come on! You can’t use a normal blanket for more than one use? You can’t use cloth diapers as burp cloths and lap pads and general cleaners-uppers?? Some of this stuff just has me shaking my head. I know they put everything on a list because you never know what the person is going to be needing (breastfeeding vs. bottle feeding, etc), but yeesh!! No wonder new parents are broke!

Remember how I said my boobs were possibly growing at a snail’s pace? Yeah. They’re bigger all right. Ever since I got C-cup boobs several years ago (when I went from 110lbs to 130+lbs), I could “measure” my boob by putting the base of my middle finger on my nipple, and the tip of my finger would touch the crease right where the boob meets the body under my armpit. It’s always been like that, just that size. Well the other day I did that little measurement… wow, um… not even CLOSE to touching. My fingertip now falls mid-boobage. Maybe it’s not a TON of growth – I am still fitting nicely in my newest (9 months old?) 36C bra, just a little fuller than before – but they’re definitely bigger! I do notice, however, that the 36C bras are kind of getting a little tight around the ribcage. I may simply move up to a 38C, and fix both problems (since cup size is slightly larger with a larger band size). Hooraayyyy boobs!

By the way – I am 10 weeks along. One quarter of the way through my pregnancy. That sound you just heard was my jaw hitting the floor. I really really cannot believe it. I’m half-way to finding out what sex baby we have growing inside me!

Oh, and my 10 week picture is up. Sorry I forgot to post it here yesterday! :) Not much change from last week, IMO. Just ever so slowly creeping outwards. :) I loooove my belly!

Don’t love the zits quite as much. Been washing my face frequently, but I still have several little whiteheads popping up on my chin. Stupid chin!
