Introducing...ME

In an effort to hold myself accountable for all the weight I'm gaining in pregnancy and that I WILL LOSE after pregnancy. You read correctly, I WILL LOSE this weight. I thought it might be best to start a blog that I update daily with all things concerning my weight gain and subsequent loss. I chose the name "Hey Momma! Whatcha Eating?" from my own childhood. I grew up the oldest of four children (with 23 first cousins but that's a different story) and it seemed like my poor momma was never able to eat or drink anything without one of us drooling in it. I'm still not 100% sure she gets to completely eat a warm meal all by herself.

Who am I? My name is Sara, I'm 32 and happily married with my first child on the way. I work as a graphic designer at a university in the south. I wish I could say that I love my job but that's a lie. I've gained somewhere in the neighborhood of 15 lbs after I graduated and found myself chained to a desk chair. I personally think I would be happier in a job that required me to be on the move constantly, but of course the grass is always greener, right? If I continue the path I'm currently on then there is absolutely no way this baby weight is going to leave my body. I'm at work sitting on my butt from 8am-5pm with a 1 hour lunch break in the middle. Right now walking to the bathroom is absolutely my most frequent exercise of each day. Lucky for me pregnant ladies ALWAYS have to go. So anyway, this is who I am and why I'm here. Consider this my acknowledgement/awareness of how unhappy I'm going to be once I cannot blame this extra weight on my sweet growing baby.
