It's Been Awhile

The holidays were here and things have been busy and not a whole lot has been going on with the little orange (that is the size right about now) growing inside of me. Last week I had blood work done for the AFP test (to test for neural tube defects). I didn't have that test done with Katarina, but my OB felt it was necessary because of my "advanced age" - being 34 when I deliver. I still think it's a silly test to have, but it was nothing for me to do it besides have to deal with giving blood which I hate.
I'm showing a bit now. Well, I still think I just look fat because I feel like I'm carrying a lot lower than last time. I'm still wearing my regular clothes and haven't gained any weight.
I'm also feeling guilty since I haven't been eating a ton of fruit and veggies and I've been drinking a bit of caffeine. I'm still under the 300 mg limit by quite a bit, but when I go on the message boards I frequent and see all the first time moms freaking out about the amount of caffeine in chocolate I feel guilty since I don't think twice before cracking open my morning pepsi.
