Two Positives and a Negative

There is no sleep like the sleep I have been getting in the last few weeks. I know this will probably not last long, so I am savoring it now. I can sleep for 9, 9.5 hours. Pre pregnancy, I woke up exactly 8 hours after falling asleep. I am so exhausted now that I fall into bed and sleep so hard that I do not wake up when my lumbering husband comes to bed, I don't wake up when the air conditioning kicks on. I only wake up for my hourly rendez-vous with the bathroom. Which is really getting old. However, there are nights that I sleep for 9 hours even though I have taken an hour long nap at work on my lunch break. For someone with insomnia issues, this is glorious. The only other time I've ever been able to sleep like this was back when I was working out for at least an hour a day, 6 days a week. Yeah, that ended some time ago.

So far, it looks like the morning sickness has been kept at bay. I'm eating yogurt again for breakfast, and not gulping down ginger candies. I'm really excited about that.
Something I am not excited about: apparent waist thickening without any weight gain. While this sounds like something not to complain about, my clothes no longer fit properly, and yet I have not put on a fraction of a pound. I weigh myself nearly every morning, and in the 5 weeks since I found out I was pregnant, my weight has fluctuated by 2 pounds, but in both directions. I understand logically that when an internal organ more than doubles in size, regardless of the size of the little person inside it, there will be fit issues. However, I'm having a tough time with the idea that I'm not "heavier," yet my pants refuse to fit. Luckily, Connie has offered me the use of her maternity stuff until such time as she will need it back. If ever. For that, I am incredibly grateful. Since we were roughly the same size pre baby, her stuff should fit me pretty well. I just hope she has stuff for a preschool teacher (read: I hope she has stuff that is easily washed of mashed potatoes, tempera paint and snot.) Can't wait to see her Saturday and Little Miss too!
