Tired of eating in Life as a Mom of 2 boys.....and a girl!!

I forgot how much your body can prompt you to eat when you’re pregnant. Omg! I can hardly keep up right now. I wake up absolutely starving every day and it just goes on from there. Even after a big meal I will be hungry again within 2-3 hours without fail and NEED to eat or else the sickness will creep in. It’s hard to know what to eat when you’re eating like 6 meals a day and some things don’t appeal to you right now because pregnancy is like that. I had dinner at 6pm tonight and then on the way to work at 8pm I just KNEW I had to eat something substantial again so I picked up a bagel with peanut butter at Tim Hortons. And then tonight at work I had some crispy minis as well as a bowl of cereal. It’s never-ending and tiring figuring out what to eat all the time. Plus I’m trying not to have a huge stomach before I want to tell people about this baby which is somewhere around when I have my ultrasound so about 4 weeks. I’m just so tired of this hunger, especially when sometimes it will hit and the boys will see me eating and start freaking out that THEY are hungry and I’m like, hold on a minute until I get some of this down, etc.

I have an appointment at the doctor on Wednesday morning for a full physical including a pap test. That kind of thing always makes me nervous but I’m trying to tell myself that it’s not big deal and even if it hurts (last time it did) it’s literally for like a minute and then it’s over with. The annoying part is that I have to bring the boys with me because I can’t find anyone to watch them so I’m either going to need to bring a book to occupy them while the doctor examines me or a snack or something. I hope she’s not too annoyed that I have to bring them.

I’m really hoping this baby is a girl since I have 2 boys and have always wanted a daughter but I feel like there’s little hope. Most people I know that have 2 boys just keep having boys so we’ll see. My mom had 2 boys and a girl but I know that kind of thing isn’t hereditary or anything. Pretty sure this is our last baby too. Obviously I’ll be fine if it’s a boy but it would really be nice to have a girl and be able to buy some girly stuff for once :) Plus, I think it would be good for the boys to have a little sister and to see what that’s like. Cody says he wants me to have a boy and when I told him we’re having another baby he’s like “but we already HAVE a baby” since that’s what he still calls Miles lol.
