note: i am watching tv and this is not a recent photo (it's from september). gosh, i haven't really changed my activities very much since...
I just attacked the cheese, I mean literally tore off a huge chunk and gobbled it. It's like 6pm, so I can't really count that as a "four-o'clock" dessert as they like to say in French, and I actually had my four-o'oclock at 4 o'oclock...There' s a huge deal in France about being immune to toxoplasmosis or not, and if you aren't you have to be extra careful about food hygiene and cat poop. There's a whole list of things you cannot eat if, like me, you are not immune to it, and every month you get to have blood tests to make sure you didn't catch it. One of the things on that list is soft cheese, and believe you me, I LOVE soft cheese. They are the stinkiest, but they are definitely the bestest. I was so bummed out when they told me I couldn't have sushi, AND that I couldn't have soft cheese. For months and months I kept telling myself this was for a good cause, and restrained myself from camembert. I mean, I live in France! How can you go to a dinner party without seeing a plateau of cheese pass under your nose at the end of the meal?! You can't! But you must politely decline and pass it on to the next person as if you didn't want any...
Recently I found out that I actually CAN have freaking soft cheese if it's pasteurised, and most cheese you find in supermarkets are...so I've just had my revenge. R. will be disappointed to find his Coulommiers reduced to a fourth of its original size when he gets home. Hehehe.
So they say that it's really the last three months where you transform into a huge cow. I think I'm starting understand why now, and once you've started getting the hang of pregnancy a little, you start to know the ins and outs (the truths and the BS).
I'd been putting on one kilo per month since the 2nd month, and was quite happy about that. Then I got to the 7th month and BAM! 2 kilos at once!
Ok, that's actually not too bad, considering I've had colleagues tell me they gained 25 kilos during their pregnancy, so I really shouldn't be making this sound like I'm complaining because I'm not.
My mother loves to say, "I only put on 7 kgs for each of my 3 pregnancies." I guess I won't be getting to say that since I've got 2 more months left, and I have put on 7 already. Oh, and Christmas is just around the corner. Oh, and my birthday! Oh, wait and New Year's too. Oh and I'm not supposed to leave my bed for a month. In fact, I feel like by the end of this pregnancy my body will have mutated into the shape of my couch...
