P.P. MONSTER

For some reason, I've had to pee the MOST TIMES today than the past days. I've literally have had to go to the restroom every 15 minutes!! Yes, I'm drinking more water, but not to the extent where I should be running to pee every 15 minutes. I'm starting to think my co-workers suspect I have diarrhea or something! Hahaha!

My mom cooked corned beef for me (actually, for the baby) today. She wants to make sure I'm eating well =) ... I had some for lunch and brought the rest home for Mike and Bryan (and me!). The funny thing is, for the FIRST TIME EVER, I didn't pick out the peas!!! Since I've been introduced to Filipino corned beef (which was probably around 1 years old) I've ALWAYS picked out the peas. Why??? Because peas SUCK. Sure they're decorative, but they don't really taste good (or maybe its the texture I don't like). Anyway, I've been extremely anti-pea for the longest time and today, when I ate the corned beef for lunch, I ate them ALL!!! I figure I should try to eat as many green things as I can for the baby. All it took was for that one mental adjustment, and all of a sudden, I'm all about peas!!! I was laughing at myself ... even Mike was shocked at dinner when he saw me eating the peas (he doesn't eat peas either!). I also ate a bowl of steamed broccoli and asparagus. Again, a first for me!! I NEVER eat vegetables that aren't in a salad. I've certainly have NEVER eaten a whole broccoli (I usually just eat the bits that break off in pasta that aren't worth removing). I heard it was good for you, so I took it down. And you know what? It was actually pretty good!!! Now I know why Jeric loves broccoli so much =) ...

I'm really proud of myself for making the conscious choice to get on the veggie train. I've said for years that once I get pregnant I'll definitely start eating my veggies, but of course, I wasn't always sure I'd listen to myself. I'm glad that every part of my (mind, body and soul) wants nothing more than for this baby to be as healthy and strong as possible and that I'm able to make adjustments and changes to my once stubborn appetite =)
