So I didn't get back yesterday about my appt... it was very uneventful... which I guess is a good thing, eh?

bp was 118/60, baby's heart beat was 140 per/min and I still have only gained the one lb. I'm really kinda freaked about this weight thing. I realize I'm not a small girl, but dang, I feel like I should be gaining more weight than this. I eat. I know I don't eat a ton but I eat. Here's what I ate yesterday.

Breakfast: bagel with butter and a half cup of cottage cheese

Snack: iced vanilla latte with skim milk and LOTS of ice (I'm having this ice chewing addiction)

Lunch: 6" white veggie sub from Subway - mustard, lettuce, tomato, grn peppers and pickles, a few doritos and a lemonade

Dinner: steak with A1, potatoes on the grill chopped up with carrots, grn peppers, onions and garlic

I'm sure I had more snacks in between there and I drink water, milk and mellow yellow throughout the day.

I've been having a queasy belly more often than not lately. Especially after I eat breakfast. Which really doesn't make me want to eat.

I'm going to try to have a few smaller meals throughout the day and see if that helps me gain before my next appt. We are going on vacation in July and I know my mom and dad will try to feed me and make sure I'm getting enough food. I cannot wait to get out of here and go on vacation... more on that later.

AM asked about my pt job. I haven't talked much about it. I started working at the (red bulls eye store - do you know what I mean without me having to say it???) pharmacy. I thought it was going to be great, interesting, right up my alley... well, not so much. I was looking for a fun mindless take no work home kind of pt job. This wasn't it. This was something that all the other staff was making a career out of. I didn't want that. They seemed to forget that. They offered me full time hours in the fall. (umm helllooo... I 'm having a baby) The girl training me also was lacking... won't say more than that about her. Also every single day I was clocking out between 15 and 35 minutes past my shifts ending time. That was not cool with me. If my shift ends at 7 I expect to be done by 7 (or 5 minutes later or so), not 7:26. No. When I asked about this they pretty much told me that this was the way it was. I should just expect to be there like that after every shift. No thank you. So I quit.

I am doing lia sophia jewelry parties right now and have had 3 so far in June. I have a couple booked in July, Aug and Oct already too... so for now that is getting us thru. I am also filling in at a job I've held pt since college. Very minimal hours, but anything helps. I will need to look for something once November rolls around but feel that right now no one in their right mind would hire a 7 month pregnant girl. Ya know?
