My mood while writing this blog: full!

It's tuna day! I love tuna but you're only supposed to eat it once per week if you're pregnant because of the mercury in the fish. Anyway, my belly went down, I can now fit back into my regular jeans, they're just a little uncomfortable. I think I'm not going to gain very much weight with this one as I'm almost to my second trimester and I've lost four pounds. I'm supposed to have gained like ten or something but I just don't like to eat after the early afternoon and my husband is a complete nazi about eating fast food or anything with fat in it for that matter. I tried to explain to him that the baby needs a little fat here and there, but he's convinced that it's bad for baby.

So only two more six weeks of school left until I never have to work in a public school again! I can't wait! I am so sick of the red tape and raising other people's kids. I feel like an underpaid babysitter. It's really sad that the average teacher in Texas earns less than the upper limit of the poverty line for a family of three. Same with the military, they just don't pay what they should.

I'm having a few cramps in the uterus and it worries me a little except that I haven't had any bleeding at all so I guess it's ok. Usually in the morning I wake up and there's no belly and then a belly just starts to develop during the day, well recently I've been waking up with a little tiny belly and it stays the same all day so that's probably the real bump!
