My challenge right now is my eating... all of my pregnancies have been the same - once I hit the 2nd trimester, I crave nothing good for me. Pizza, bread, nachos, all things bound to make my stomach (and all other areas) bigger than I want them to be by the time this baby comes!
So far, I've done a better job this pregnancy of controlling it by really trying to manage quantities. But portion management can only go so far. At the end of the day this is just not the kind of food that is going to do the most for me (or the baby, or my long term eating habits), you know?! One of my biggest challenges in turning this pattern around is that I have a really hard time making myself eat what my body is not wanting. I make myself good, yummy salads - and don't have an appetite after about 5 bites.
Any advice on what worked for you in your pregnancy?

Why the break?
So I've been meaning to put up this post for a while but keep putting it off. I wanted to share what initially prompted my blogging break earlier this spring.
The wonderful news is that we found out we were expecting again in early April!! Yay!! This is something we were very much wanting and it had been a long six months of "waiting"... one that included two hospital stays with our youngest daughter, an unconfirmed early miscarriage, the tragic loss of a very good friend, and a second, but confirmed, early miscarriage... yes, it was an eventful and stressful 6 six months.
The short explanation for the break is that there were some early complications (which fortunately did not turn out to be anything worrisome after a couple weeks of taking it easy). But after the struggle to conceive - which included much more than two losses we suffered (a fertility story I hope to share with you sometime, but don't want to make this an incredibly long post) - I just did not have the capacity to post about anything else but was not yet ready to share this news outside of family.
So I took a break but am back now! and sharing that we are expecting another Baby C sometime around December 13th!
