I am proud to say that I have not gained any weight thus far in my pregnancy journey. The scale seems stuck at my current weight and has not yet moved up or down in WEEKs… weeks I tell ya! My doctor says that everything looks good and to keep doing what I am doing!
I wonder if it is possible to come out lighter after this than I went in? I keep grasping onto that HOPING that’s the case! I would be so geeked if that happened!
I can feel the baby kick more now. I will always cherish this feeling! I loved feeling O kick and S kick and now this little guy! It’s the most amazing feeling anyone can experience.
We are still unpacking here. My mother-in-law (bless her heart) has helped us out today and will continue to help tomorrow. As much as I wanted to do it myself, she really has been a wonder! Sometimes I can be so stubborn at accepting help. Other times, i’m better at it. I guess it just depends on the situation. I think it has to do with a woman’s territory. I know i’m always marking mine! LOL!
I was thinner after the birth than before…however…I started out about 30 pounds overweight…so that was my cushion…and I did not need to gain baby fat (in case there is a drought etc). You need to gain something like 21 pounds to have a healthy pregnancy (baby, placenta, amniotic fluid).
Congrats on the baby!
My grandmother told me that she lost about 30 pounds while pregnant with her first born but I think she was overweight. Good luck in your pregnancy. By the way, I found your blog through Entrecard.
I had a little pouch up until 19 weeks. It didn’t scream pregnant. I thought I was just finally gaining some weight but just in the wrong place, lol.
I don’t even know if I can call the movements “kicks” anymore, they are more like violent pokes, haa!
