Don't have much to say lately, it seems. Guess that's a good thing. I've been doing well at logging all of my food and my two week average is about 2,400 calories a day. While I'm not 100% sure of this, I'm pretty sure that is considerably LESS than I should be eating to maintain my weight and gain slightly. But, I am just listening to my body so I will find out tomorrow at my next prenatal appointment, with my favorite quack, how the weight gain is going. I really need to get a new battery for my scale.

I've come to the realization that I am just one of those women who do *not* like being pregnant. I adore being a mother and I am very happy that we will be bringing another child into our lives...but I could seriously do without the whole pregnancy business. I distinctly remember disliking it last time. However, I thought it was because of the circumstances. Um...no. I like my body being my own and it is certainly anything but mine at the moment.

My son started middle school today. I tried to drive him to school (even though it is only 1/4 mile away) and the traffic was backed up for almost 1/2 mile. So, I dropped him off at the "kid highway" which is a pathway between two houses in our subdivision that leads to the back of the middle school. We tried. It would have taken about 20 minutes to get through that looooooong line of cars. He can walk it in 5 minutes.
