Well today marks 16 weeks of pregnancy and I am feeling pretty good! Slept in a little this morning and worked from the house due to the snow and my doctor's appt. I got so much more done here than I ever do at the office plus it was so quiet! My appt. was at 3.00p. Nothing major during the appt. I lost 5 pounds since December 2, my last appt. My doc didn't mention it so I assume she isn't concerned. She only wants me to gain 15 to 20 pounds anyway so I hope Im on the right track. I am not eating as much as I used to, mainly because I just get full quicker and stop so my stomach doesn't get upset. I don't ever feel hungry and when I do I eat so I am definitely not starving myself! Still not craving chocolate, sweets or salty stuff really, which is different than pre-pregnancy! The baby's heartbeat dropped a little since last time. It was only 157 today. Probably sleeping like his momma loves to do!
I am dreading the weekend because I have to get the Christmas trees put away and all Christmas decorations stored. What a big task! Michael is going to be at his dad's so I should be able to start and complete pretty quickly. I want to do some scrapping too! Here is a picture I found recently from when I was pregnant with Michael. I was so big! Hope not to get that big again! :)
You look so beautiful and SO young!! I never got to see you pregnant with Michael, so I'm looking forward to this little one - Sawyer, right?
ReplyDeleteI think you're doing it right - eat when you're hungry and stop when you're full. That's actually the basics behind my diet! I used to eat because it was time to, and I would eat because I liked the taste or because my plate was still full - now I stop if I'm full! It seems pretty basic, but emotional eaters have a hard time with the basics.
I gained 55 pounds when I was pregnant with Kara - I ate VERY often and lots of sweets, junk, and the healthy stuff. Well, I lost 35 pounds just giving birth, so I only had 20 pounds to lose. My best friend gained only 35 pounds, lost 15 pounds giving birth and still had 20 pounds to lose just like me. Whatever - being pregnant WRECKS your body and it'll never be the same again. But it's all worth it for that precious little one. Good job keeping you and the baby healthy!
I forgot about this picture! You saw the one on my blog where Dad and I did this same pose when I was pregnant with you, didn't you? Good job on the 5 lbs! I actually lost weight with everyone but you. I gained 40 lbs with you. I only gained 11 lbs with the others. Probably being active with raising children helped! And the fact that 10 or almost 10 lbs of the weight I gained with the last 3 were baby lbs! Glad you are feeling good! Told your dad today that I would need to start looking for baby clothes pretty soon! Love you!
ReplyDeleteBTW, I like your profile picture!
ReplyDeleteI've been looking at winter clothes that are on sale but so far I haven't found anything good for him!
