Funny how the same blog title still applies after the arrival of B&N at 27 weeks on 12/12/2009. Just a small-town girl (at heart) trying to stay sane raising twins, working full-time, and going to law school.

Lay off me - I'm starving!
Apparently my weight loss days are over - I am now at a point where if I don't eat every 2 hours or so, I get reeaallly nauseous. I am going to have to stock up on healthy snacks or these babies are going to turn me into a whale by the 3rd tri.
I have to eat all the time too. I've already gained over 10 pounds! Eek! One of my co-workers even felt the need to tell me I've been "eating like a horse." Um, thanks...
