I skipped my yoga class tonight, again. Past 7 pm, I just can’t get myself out of the house anymore. I really am looking forward to get over this first trimester of pregnancy and get my energy back. Apparently, I’ll have loads of it according to books. That is left to see. Right now, I just don’t get how I used to be able to go to the gym past 8pm, which used to be a normal time for me to go.
Another thing I gave up is meditation. I started to meditate after having joined a meditation center I used to go to once a week. I was getting good at meditation, doing it once a day for 10 minutes in the morning. Now I just can’t be bothered. I really am looking forward to find my old self back.
I did read a few books that were good motivations to convince me to meditate everyday; “Eat, Pray, Love”, “The monk who sold his Ferrari”, “The Power of Intention”. I guess it will come back.
I am planning on taking a yoga class for pregnant women, but again, I am waiting to be over my 12 weeks. While I was meditating and practicing yoga, I always thought that when the day comes and I become pregnant, I will always be sending all my love and positive thoughts to the baby as much as possible. I do it, but really not as much as I thought I would.
My husband told me that by the end of the pregnancy, the brain of the pregnant woman reduces by 4-6%. He compared it to a person suffering alzheimer disease whose brain reduces by 8-10%. I guess that explains a lot of the weird behaviour some of my coworkers were having by the end of their pregnancy. That will be me in a few months. I can see my husband making fun of me by then, but it’s ok, I will probably have not much recollection of it anyways…
My wife just got thru her first trimester. She’s still tired all the time though….. Anyways, so my wife recently announced to me that she was pregnant, and we began to find ourselves at super markets and restaurants wondering what she could and couldn’t eat. Everytime I’d look up which foods she could have on my cell phone, I’d get these huge nutrition sites that were completely incompatible with my mobile device. So I decided to make the site myself. http://www.preg2go.com is a mobile optimized web resource for pregnant women who need to know what they can and cannot eat while on the go, accessible by most mobile device/pda/smartphones. Check it out and feel free to let me know what you think!

Thank you Mark for the link. I went and had a look. It’s nice and concise and I’m sure it will be appreciated by moms and dads to be.
