My appetite, that is. Finally, I don't feel nauseous, and I even feel hungry more than just once a day. Today we went to dinner at my in-laws' house, and they made a lovely roast lamb, potatoes, and veggies. And the the hugest fruit salad for dessert. I ate more in that one meal than I have eaten since I found out I was pregnant. Yum yum yum! It was seriously like I was eating for two, even though it so does not work like that. I guess we'll have to go over there for dinner more often (especially since I at more green veggies tonight than I've probably eaten in the entire last month combined...oops). Of course, now that the appetite is back, you know what this means... the weight gain is bound to follow! I'm going to try my best not to go crazy with the eating though, I hope. :)
I suppose I could wait until my 17 week update to write all this, but I have another good thing to share... I've been able to work out again! I went for 3 runs in the past 4 days, which is more than I've run in the past 4 weeks, so I'd say I'm doing pretty well. And I don't feel the need to stop and walk, like I did a couple weeks ago. In fact, I felt like I could even go faster. Mark likes to let me know how slowly I have been running by telling me he couldn't possibly count one of MY runs as a workout, so he needs to do something that's actually challenging. Hmph. Now I'm not trying to win any races or run a marathon here, but a 20-30 minute run here and there (no matter how slow) will be pretty good for me, I think. Although don't think for a second that I'm going to be one of those pregnant ladies that runs up until I go into labor. Yeah right. Once my belly gets too big, the running shoes are getting put away, and the WALKING shoes will replace them (figuratively of course, since I have, well, only one pair of shoes). Maybe I'll even take up yoga. Or swimming. But not running, nope, not for me I don't think. I'll keep you updated. :)
Alright, weekend over for us, back to work tomorrow! Pictures to follow...
