"POP!"

I finally started eating regularly. I think I’m making up for the times I didn’t eat much. But sometimes I’m ok during the day but feel miserable after dinner. So I still wind up going to bed early.
The other day, as I got off the bus to go to work, I thought of getting oatmeal and fruits for breakfast. So I went to the deli near my office to buy them.
Then I went to work, prepared my breakfast (make hot chocolate, get extra bowl for the oatmeal, get extra milk and sugar). I started eating the fruits, and it tasted sweet but bitter.
I got watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew and mango. The watermelon was juicy, but a bit no taste. Canteloupe was tasteless. Honeydew was very sweet. Mango was a little bit bitter and sour. Hmm… maybe the fruits weren’t good today. They usually are sweet if I buy it from that deli…
Then I got my oatmeal. Took half from the container and poured in the bowl, added milk and brown sugar, then tasted it. BLECH!!! It’s bitter!!!! Oh man!!!! My taste buds are messed up today! It doesn’t like sweet stuff! Hmpf! My staff came in and they were hungry so they decided to pick something downstairs for breakfast. Since I wasn’t able to eat the breakfast that I bought, I still feel hungry. SO I decided to ask them to buy me a bagel with cream cheese and jelly (by the way, if you think this combination is weird… it’s not. There are people here in New York who get this combination :P). Good thing when I tasted the bagel, it wasn’t so bad so I was able to eat it. I ate half of it in the morning and ate half in the afternoon. That happens to me all the time. I don’t finish my food, I set it aside to eat later. My life as a pregnant woman...sigh… Can’t eat too much coz it makes me feel nauseous if I’m too full. Then I get hungry after 2 hours or so, and then I eat the left over. I drink water, then apple juice (now.. .but mango juice before), then water. Weird huh!

I still feel cramps in different places of my belly. My back still hurts. I feel so heavy. I feel like my bladder is full all the time. Now I’m somewhat showing.. not just bloating showing, but it’s actually baby popping out. I try to breathe in to hide my tummy, but it actually hurts sometimes. It’s like my internal organs start screaming “ Hey! Stop doing that! It’s already crowded in here!”

I saw this link in one of the message boards I go to. Some of them are actually funny…
