mmmmm

Yesterday I bought a diet coke. Then I took that diet coke and I drank HALF of it. I do not feel bad. I realized I cracked after having no diet coke or caffeine since I first found out I was pregnant, but I think my baby will be just fine. It's ok to indulge every once in a while. And I realize there are people who drink caffeine everyday of their pregnancy and don't feel one bit bad about it, but I just couldn't do that. I'm trying to  be a lot more conscious about what goes into my body since I'm not only feeding myself these days.

Kudos to my older sister, Melissa, and any other strong willed women out there who can resist such temptation! My sister used to drink Mt. Dew whenever she needed her caffeine kick and probably an occasional starbucks, but since she got pregnant with Lusi she gave it up and never looked back, even AFTER she had birth. I'm just not that strong. My body misses caffeine and I've convinced myself that every time I have a headache if I could just have a sip of diet coke it would go away! Anyways I think I'll go finish the other half of that diet coke and then resolve to not have any for the rest of my pregnancy. I mean I made it more than halfway without any, I'm positive I could go another half without it again.

Cheers!
