Week 23

Now you all know what I look like post workout, after a night of sleeping on wet hair AND sans makeup!  Lucky, Joel...huh??  (ha ha j/k).  You may have noticed that I've skipped a few weeks (20 to be exact) of pregnancy pictures .  This is because I usually work out JUST before Joel gets home and I never feel photo worthy.  I decided to go for it today....or there would be NO documentation of my first pregnancy!

Hunger Games

Have I watched Hunger games?  No.  Do I plan to read the book?  Ummm...no.  I DO feel like my ever-hungry stomach is playing games with me, though.  I try my best to fill my ever grumbling tummy, but NOTHING seems to do the trick.  I'm pretty sure I shocked my in-laws when they were visiting.  I distinctly remember one of them saying "Wow, I'm not used to seeing you eat this much food (or something to that effect)."  I'm really not used to this, either!  I'm trying to enjoy this stage, but am having a hard time finding food that will meet my very picky pregnancy tastes as well as fill the black hole that has stolen my stomach.  Luckily, I'm not craving chocolate, ice cream, french fries or chips, but I HAVE eaten a whole bag of grapes in one night.  Wow.  This week I spent $13 on grapes at the grocery store.  Joel and I should probably just invest in an orchard soon :)

I guess this baby girl is growing and I'm grateful for that!
