So my weight is the same as last week. I'll take that, given the circumstances lol! I had my first ultrasound today. It was so cool and fun to see the baby (yes thank goodness it's only ONE baby) on the screen. It was bouncing all around and moving its arms and legs. The heartbeat was 168!!! Crazy. I know it's an old wives tale but I heard anything over 140 is generally a girl, which I would be very very excited about. :)
It's strange to be going from trying to LOSE weight to trying to just gain slowly. I have several friends who lived on junk food their entire pregnancies and are still struggling to lose the weight as their babies approach their 2nd birthdays... I SO do not want that to be me.
I'm going to stay here and check in as much as possible because I don't want to lose track of what I'm doing. This will continue to keep me accountable, even if the goal is a little different now. My doctor says the average weight gain to stay in the "healthy" range is half a pound per week.
My "normal" weight for all intents and purposes is pretty much 145 so I'm hoping that I can keep it under 165 by the time I'm about to pop. Time will tell, but I already told Salem that under NO circumstances is he to bring ice cream into our home. I know my weaknesses. ;)
I think I'm doing pretty good... today I had Kashi Go Lean cereal for breakfast w/ skim milk, and a then a ton of fruit for lunch/snacks. Banana, apple, cherries, and orange! Also had a Greek yogurt and a 35 calories piece of (yes it was pausterized) Laughing Cow cheese.

Amy I ordered a dress online (b/c it was only $99). I went up a size and it won't zip! So I'm going to see if it can be altered; if not I guess I'm back to the drawing board!

Congratulations, and if you focus on healthy eating and taking your vitamins, you'll have a great habit by the time the baby comes!

PS - Ice cream can be good for those days you just don't want to eat in July - lots of calcium and protein. My baby was born August 3 (1992 though!), so you might want to stay flexible on some items for hot weather!

Sticking with us is an excellent idea!! LOL!!! Besides ... we would miss you if you left!! You and Beets can compare pregnancy notes. Gaining a healthy amount of weight is a great goal and I think fits here just fine. Your food choices sound pretty darn good to me!! Good nutrition is important during pregnancy, both for you and the baby ... lots of good stuff going on with that little one and the better you feel the better for the baby!!
