Things I Have Given Up

So far during my pregnancy there are many things I have given up like:

• Deli meat
• Raw fish (no raw sushi or lox)
• Medium-cooked fillets
• Caffeine
• Wine/alcohol
• Sprouts on my veggie bagel sandwiches
• Sleep (yes, insomnia for about 18 weeks now)
• Sleeping on my back
• Sweet & Low

The hardest, most difficult thing I've given up? Hands down - Sweet & Low. Yes, it's true. Somewhere I decided that maybe my addiction with aspartame needed to end and after 20 years of loving Sweet & Low, sugar doesn't actually taste sweet...or like sugar. Every decaf latte I drink without it - yuck. I miss it. A lot.

One thing I have added into my life? Prenatal aqua aerobics. The one time where everyone in class looks pretty equal in their bathing suits. I'm hoping this helps with the sleep.
