27 WEEKS AND COUNTING
So I figured I'd come on today to give a small update. I'm 27 weeks pregnant now, and I'm back up to 222 lbs. I don't feel too bad about it, because I'm gaining my weight pretty much on schedule, almost the same as I did my last pregnancy. I'm going up by about a lb a week (not counting the first trimester), a total of 17 lbs so far. I've got about 13 weeks left, so it looks like I may end up gaining less weight than last time. ( I gained 40 lbs with my son.)
The only disheartening thing is that it's hard watching those numbers on the scale (and the graph on the right!) go back up, when I worked for months to get them to go down. :( I'm sure a large part of it is the baby, or will be. With my son I had lost 20 lbs by the time I went home from the hospital, so I know that part of it will come off very quickly. :P
Anyway the baby is doing fine. We're not scheduled for any more ultrasounds, so I'm not sure what we'll be having. But everything looks normal. On my last midwives visit the heart rate was high, which often indicates a girl, but I won't hold my breath. :) I'm going for my 2nd Blood glucose test next week, which will test to see if I've developed Gestational Diabetes, but I'm sure everything will be fine. My first test was normal and my last pregnancy was fine all the way through as well.
Now, I'm off to get updated with all of your blogs. :)
