Week 8 - Day 3 ~ Holy Nipples Batman

how am i feeling:


today has been a super day so far. when i got up at 5 am to head out to an hour spin class i happened to look down at my chest which was soar from the sleep the night before.....and holy nipples i mean really they are huge....well huge for me im sure they wouldn't win any contests or be featured in the guinness book of world records lol.  actually they don't have such a category ( i googled it) but if you are interested in the man with the longest ear hair check out this link-----> longest ear hair.    i was tired after the class but it was well worth it.  when i returned i showered and crashed for another hour of zzz's prior to waking for the day.  i went in to work for a few hours to get some stuff organized and helped a girlfriend out.  it was nice to see some old faces and share about the summers adventures.  


eating:


so far i have had a good eating day.  i started out with some yummy grapes before the gym and a smoothie with banana, blueberries, and peanut butter after.  so far 6 cups of water....i need to remember to drink some milk and grapefruit juice later.  for lunch i split a yummy salad with ceaser dressing, a bagel, and some egg salad (which really made my tummy happy).  for dinner tonight the plan is probably a repeat from the evening before....tuna salad sandwich with a few chips and carrots.  i felt like i could eat a whole pound of tuna last night.....it just hit the spot!  


other:

so my alan and i did some pretty serious research on the topic of circumcision last night.  i was really interested to learn some of the history of the practice in the us and other countries.  we also read various statistics and pros and cons....now of course you have to read everything on the internet with a critical eye!  based on our conversations we decided against it if we have a boy....why well for a variety of reasons that you can interpret from the articles we read (check them out below - just remember some are bias) and our personal belief system that if you are born with it its meant to be there.  it was really disturbing to read more about genital mutation in little girls and the debates about those procedures.  why is it that we feel the need to modify our babies to fit an image?  shrugs...interesting that the united states has the highest rate of circumcisions in the world (about 60%).....makes you wonder!

That's it! Time for you to go back to work-too much time on your hands oh pregnant one!!! Exhaustion was the greatest for me during the first trimester-I don't think I could lift me head up off my desk without help from a major moving crane. It will go away and you will be your usual, but more nippley self again!!!
Love ya, Karen
