Let me start this by saying that Brayden is healthy & his heartbeat was 158 & he even woke up & moved around for the doctor so she said that he is doing great & everything is progressing nicely with Brayden.....me on the other hand; I am another story. I have gained 6 lbs. since my last visit; this puts me at a total weight gain of 23 lbs.....so needless to say I got the "you need to watch what you are eating better" lecture from the doctor today & it didn't really make me happy. When I first found out that I was pregnant they told me that I was under weight & I needed to gain weight to make sure that the baby & I were both healthy & I am sure that they didn't mean to eat the way I have been over that last week (we went on vacation & my sweet tooth has really kicked in) but I don't think that I have been doing that bad. The picture in this blog is me today....23 lbs heavier than I was 25 weeks & 3 days ago! Which by the way I am 25 weeks & not 24 weeks so if I was to only gain 1 lb. per week & it has been 5 weeks & not 4 I am only 1 lb over what I should have gained this last month right?? But I guess even that logic doesn't mask the fact that I have gained 23 TOTAL lbs & she said I should have only gained a total of 15 lbs all together.....THIS SUCKS!! I was looking forward to going to the doctor today & don't get me wrong; I loved hearing Brayden's strong heartbeat & is doing well & he is healthy but to hear that I need to watch my food intake & weight is kind of depressing & it's not like I wasn't already having a really emotional day!! Veggies here I come....watch out!!
I am sorry to hear that you are feeling down about your weight! Let me tell you! You look FABULOUS in the new picture! You don't look like you are going to be starting 3rd tri soon!
