I miss sushi...

I know I haven't been pregnant that long, but already the inability to eat sushi is affecting me. Austin and I went to a Japanese steakhouse for dinner this evening and they make the best sushi I've ever had. I, unfortunately, could not partake in this deliciousness. Well, at least the uncooked stuff; I can have the sushi that contains cooked fish. My favorite though, is just the pieces of salmon and tuna on rice. So yummy. Austin got a roll with eel on top and shrimp tempura in the middle. Jerk. So I went ahead and punished him by stuffing my face full of steak and shrimp (cooked) and rice and veggies. It was amazing, but not amazing enough to make up for my lack of sushi. Oh well, one month down, 8 to go...
Another thought: I thought I would miss drinking more than I do. I mean, there are days when I come home and a whiskey and coke would be the perfect way to make 9th graders disappear for a while, but for the most part it wasn't a huge sacrifice. I still can go to the Place with my awesome friends from work (shout out ladies), I can still go to Chimys, I can still have fun with everyone, but just not have the same headache they have the next morning. Another plus from this abstaining from alcohol: I've lost two pounds this week. lol
We have named the baby Little Bug for now-until we learn what sex it is. Little Bug because I call Austin Bug, short for Love Bug. I know, gag, but you can get over it. :) Austin had the idea today to call it Cookie because its cooking inside of me and he likes to tell me I'm baking. Its cute, but I dont really want to think of my baby as a pastry.
I have to remember to ask the doctor if I can ski over Christmas break. I wanted to learn to snowboard, but there's too much risk in me falling in that endeavor. I can stay up on blades pretty well so I think it'll be ok, but we'll see what the doc says. A week and half till the first visit!
