Baby likes green tea
I'm usually a coffee person, but I've been trying to limit my caffeine and sugar intake. I'm been doing pretty good at sticking to one cup of coffee in the morning, but sometimes I want a Starbucks fix and I know lattes have more caffeine than my morning k-cup brew.
I've also been experiencing an unsettled stomach during most of the waking hours. My mom suggested I start drinking green tea during the day. Yes, green tea has caffeine in it, but only 45 mg which is below the 200 mg limit for preggos. I stick to one tea bag which lasts me most of the day in my Zokirushi thermos. That sucker stays hot ALL day.
I'm really liking it. The taste is mild and it keeps my stomach in check. I like the idea of sipping on this instead of coffee with milk and sugar throughout the day.
So first food/diet change due to baby.

Pregnancy Review: First Trimester
I'm coming out of my first trimester and what can I say: It sucks.
So imagine what it's like to have a parasite living in your body, not just living, but thriving and growing. Yeah, it's exactly like that. That's what pregnancy has been like.
I've got morning sickness. I can't say how severe because it's my first time, but I think it's the worst. I'm nauseated all the time. My stomach is never settled and nothing makes it feel better. Eating sometimes helps, but then it feel like crap from eating. I can never win.
I have absolutely no energy. I have run three time in the past three months and it kills me. I'm so tired, I've got my distance down to two miles and I am sloooooooow. I almost cried after my run today because I ran at a normal pace. They say it gets better after the first trimester. I hope it does. I can't do this for six more months.
My clothes are starting not to fit which from what I've read is too soon for first time preggos. Great! Then that extra weight is me not being able to control myself. Wonderful. I'm an emotional mess and just can't handle anything.
The hubster had been super awesome this whole time though I think he's fed up with me not wanting to do anything. I want to eat, sleep, and work. I don't really want to work, but if I want to keep my health insurance and other important adult things, I have to keep working.
But every time I go to the doctor's office and see my baby, it makes it all worth it. *cue sappy mom music*

Quantico
So I've been watching Quantico on Hulu and while it was mildly entertaining, I just don't think I can watch it anymore.
Spoiler alert!
It was on the edge of plausibility that FBI agents in training were such tight work out clothes and uniforms. And that it was more like college than training. What really pushed it over the edge was this last episode, "Guilty".
So we've been following the plight of FBI agent Alex Parish who has been framed for a terrorist attack on Grand Central Station in NYC. She's trying so hard to clear her name and her fellow agents are helping her.
She turns herself in to allow her ex-boyfriend (?) a chance to go to the hospital to get surgery for being shot! Believable.
She gets exonerated with evidence found by her fellow agents which she slowly recruited to help her. Believable.
She discusses with her former trainer that she should play along with the terrorist plans of her getting caught to buy them time to find the second bomb. Believable.
She then pleads guilty to the terrorist attack and all related crimes. Un-fucking-believable! Since the real terrorist's framed her, then she would fucking know she didn't do it. Then why in the fuck would she plead guilty to trick the terrorists into thinking that this was following the plan. LIKE WHAT THE FUCK? It would have been more believable that she plead not guilty and tried to prove her innocence knowing she was fucking framed.
I'm done-zo!

I've lost my mojo
My shopping mojo!
Nothing puts a damper on shopping faster than pregnancy.
What's the point in buying clothes during your first trimester when you know you're not going to fit over the next 6 months?
