sleeeeeeeeep...sleeeeeeeep
a quick aside: every time someone compares some food item to being like a drug (last night i made homemade mac & cheese and kept saying "i must have put crack in this! it's so good!"), i always think of the movie "the stuff". this movie will forever be emblasoned in my memory and will always make me think of olivia.
everyone told me, "you'll have a good 2nd trimester where you don't feel sick and your not tired." LIARS. granted, i am usually up at 6 AM, but i can say that since i was 5, i have probably gone to bed at 8:30 about 10 times, until now! i can't keep my eyes open past 9-ever. even on days that i know i'll be able to sleep in the next day, 10 is about my limit. last night i fell asleep during "my name is earl", in a chair! i was in an upright position and still fell asleep. i had also had about 1/4 lb. of the mac and cheese, which may have had something to do with it, but i made it with these super fortified protein noodles.
i have also noticed that i am stuffed way before i actually feel full. i need to really try and do the small meals 6 times a day or whatever, but i'm not accustomed to that AT ALL. i am not a snacker, so it's hard. i am cheating tomorrow on my no bread or sweets, but i have been really good so far. when i was at the doc last week, i'd only gained 3 lbs. did i already tell you that? i was quite excited.
