Things I Love wednesday

Love hearing my birdy's heartbeat.

Love swimming with my pregnant friend.

Love my in-law's helping us with in the house.

Love the smell of strawberry's.

Love that I know better than my older colleague's who starve themselves to get skinny. They are mum's and need to give a good example to their daughters, but they only care about their own lives. I watch them smell the cookies they won't eat and skipping meals because they're not hungry even when their bodies say something else. It's so sad when you're in you're 40's and starving yourself shows right in your face.

Love buying furniture for the nursery.

Love Kellog's Special K.

Love booking hotels for our trip.

I'm HEALTHY and PREGNANT!

Today I had an appointment with my midwife. And as we went through my bloodpressure, weight and blood -results, I realised how lucky I am with having such a healthy body. Because apparently I am very healthy.

When I think about the way I have treated my body over the last 10 years, I feel really stupid and sad. All because I thought I was fat and wanted to be even more skinny. It's so easy to starve yourself, and really dumb.

So, last summer's diet, will be my last starving diet, permanently. Being almost 15 weeks pregnant, I gained 1,3 kg. Which isn't a lot, especially if you've seen me eat! But I kept it as healthy as possible. Having cravings for fries, doesn't make it easy so I only eat them once a week with really fat mayonnaise and I love those fries Sunday's. I also have cravings for fruits and vegetable's, which makes it really easy for me to fill my whole wheat bread. And I eat LOADS of bread.

I know I will gain about 12 kg and it doesn't even scare me. Because I know, when the baby's born, I will go on with the healthy food and will take the baby out for long nice walks :)
