Feeling great

Ok, so here's something I can safely blog about--I feel great. So much better than I ever thought I would at this stage in my life. I'm not getting as much exercise as I'd like (which reminds me that as soon as I'm done with this blog, I'm going to turn off my computer and do some yoga).

A lot of people ask me how I'm feeling, like they're expecting me to say that I'm in dreadful pain and that I'm sick all of the time. At first I was really turned off by foods that I normally liked, but overall, I was rarely sick and had very little to complain about. Now, other than the extra 2o pounds I've put on (and the fact that none of my regular clothes fit), I still don't have any complaints. The nosebleeds and the heartburn don't even register on the complaint meter because although bothersome, I'm still able to go about my day.

Overall, I don't feel any different. There are times when I actually seem to forget that I'm pregnant. (Is that bad?)

And you know what else? I don't think I look that bad, either. Besides the squishy middle (I really thought it wasn't supposed to look like fat rolls!) I'm still in decent shape. I don't consider myself a great looking person, but I'm comfortable with who I am, and I feel like I don't look that bad.

(And when I hear people say, "...well you look great" I hear, "you don't look too bad for someone in your condition...")
