A mid-pregnancy fountain coke from McDonalds. It's almost as good as a morning-after-a-bender fountain coke from McDonalds. Almost.*
So, yeah, I'm pregnant. Just kicked off the second trimester, and I think I'm going to like it. Compared to the first trimester, though, I'm sure just about anything would be an upgrade.
I reached the big milestone of 13 weeks this past Sunday. On Monday, I still felt the pukey affecting my every move, just waiting for the opportunity to pounce and launch me into a series of dry heaves.
Yesterday, though. Yesterday, I felt pretty damn good. And it was weird, I actually didn't get sick from eating. No dry heaves at all. I even helped Mr. W eat an entire bowl of popcorn, which I hadn't been able to do for the past 7 weeks or so.
And today? A craving. For a Big Mac.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know it's not healthy or organic or gourmet, but, f$%&, was it good.
I know I'm going to have to rein it in and start eating the healthy stuff for the baby's development, blah blah blah, but for today, or this afternoon at least, I'm going to revel in my eating prowess.
On that note, I'm off to find me a Milky Way.
*I actually used the time it took me to travel between the drive thru and my workplace to analyze which was better. On one hand, in light of the fact that I have not had caffeine in over a week, the coke I had for lunch today was really fantastic. On the other, as I'm sure all my (two) readers know, that coke during a hangover, when you're parched and tired and headachy and nauseous and know you're going to have episodic diarrhea, is super really amazing fantastic. So hangover coke won.

Woooo hoooo! Congratulations!!! You & Fiesty are going to have the coolest children ever.
you're out of the closet! wahoooo!
i hope the 2nd tri treats you well. relish in it. feel good, go out whenever you can, enjoy!
my theory on food: eat whatever you want, but just add in that healthy stuff too. (in the past 3 weeks, I've spent more on fruit/berries/produce than any other period in my life. i go through the fruit like crazy. veggies, not so much)
my (new) theory on maternity clothes: they tell you to buy your 'pre-preggo' size. that works, until you hit 31 weeks. and then you need a size bigger. it is all an elaborate scheme to take away our hard-earned money for expensive, poorly-sewn clothing. (i've grown out of so much- do NOT buy anything that doesn't have stretchy or elastic sleeves. if you are like me your arms will get bigger too- i feel so lovely)
Hey, congrats! I second what Kate says: It's gonna be good times between the Feisty family and the Diatribes group.
Congrats, toots! You and Feisty are going to be such funny, awesome moms.
Yay!
I can't believe your still drinking caffiene - but I guess it is better than a margarita. Hey, I know what will settle your stomach - a shot of peppermint schnapps! :-)
And the hangover coke always wins because of the fun activities that caused the hangover - at least with a GW! Miss U.
Interestingly enough, doctors say you can drink up to 2 cups of coffee a day, and it will be safe for your baby. Since I've cut coffee and most other caffeinated beverages out completely (ie. tea, Mt. Dew, etc.), an occasional coke is OK. And, like I said above, so so so good.
That is awesome!! Please share all the gory details!
