Ravenous

I don't mean to alienate anyone who reads my blog, but it may not make a whole lot of sense to those who have never been pregnant (or endured someone else's pregnancy).

For those of you keeping track, I am about half way through my pregnancy. I can't know exactly because they changed the expected date that I would deliver, but they didn't change my due date. I don't really get it either.

Anyway, so working has become this obstacle course. How do I get from breakfast to lunch without starving to death? Most mornings, I snack on one of the following: a banana, a granola bar, or two graham crackers. This staves off the hunger for a period of time, but unfortunately, not all the way to lunch. The bum deal is that the last hour before lunch is packed with students to see, and I feel bad if I snack in front of them.

So by lunch, I am so ravenously hungry that no one had better get between me and my food. And today was no exception. But I noticed that I made one terrible mistake today. I brought a Lean Cuisine. There's nothing wrong with them, per se, except for the fact that it is not enough food for a starving pregnant lady. So then, I get done with my lunch (the Lean Cuisine and a cheese stick) and ironically spend the rest of the day snacking when I don't have students. It's like I am trying to make up for the hunger in the am. Thankfully, this ends when I head home. I don't eat until dinner and only sometimes do I have a snack before bed (I would have to be able to stay awake) so that I make it to breakfast the next day.
