Ok, so I'm not pregnant again. Not unless some heavenly miracle has occurred. Which, being the good agnostic that I am, I strongly doubt. I went in to the Acute Care Clinic last Friday night for what felt like a pretty brutal UTI (I try not to make a habit of going into the ACC for routine concerns, but there were no appts. to be had until several days later, thanks to the cosmic aligning of New Year's Day and the funeral of a President). I had been in pain all day, and ...
I was watching Big As Life: Obesity in America on Discovery Health last night, and it had repeated, extended scenes of fat people butt shots. You know what I'm talking about, right? The camera is set right at ass/abdomen level and it flips through various scenes of people walking, eating, and generally being merry and oblivious to the cameras around them. Every time I see something like this on a news broadcast or a health program, I think, "wow, it must really suck to be them".&n...
This pregnancy has been so different from the other two, and I feel like I'm spending a lot more time worrying than I did with the first two pregnancies.

Well, I'm still feeling motivated. Not even motivated, really, more like...normal. Surprisingly, I'm not having much, if any, difficulty keeping my eating in check. It may get harder later, but for now I'm just coasting along. Starting tomorrow I'm going to be exercising at a friend's house. She has a ton of different videos, a treadmill (so jealous!), and some other various exercise equipment. She also has a trampoline, which I love oh-so-much, but it's put away right now. It will b...
