Hello, gals
.
Nice scan pic, Maybe.
Shelley--you must have some strong stomach muscles if this is your second and you're not showing much. But at least you got a caramel easter egg thing. Mmmmm, that sounds so good.
How is everyone else?
Got back from my monthly appt. I gained 5 pounds in the last 6 weeks. I just knew I gained weight. The kicker is, because I was overweight to begin with, I'm supposedly only supposed to gain 15 lbs, and I have gained 11-12 pounds overall (I hadn't known where my starting weight was until today).
The average weight gain for women in our family was 60-70 lbs, even when they were told to diet. But they also carried a lot of fluid.
That means, in the next 4 months, I'm only supposed to gain 3-4 lbs, which is obviously not going to be the case.
Also, I was just informed that our family has a history of big babies. My mother was the smallest of all her 8 siblings at 7 1/2 pounds. My cousins have had the average of 10lb babies. I was a 10 or so oounder. My brothers were a little less. My aunt had a 2 month premature son that was 7 1/2 lbs.
This makes me very, very afraid. I don't want to have a big baby.
I'm scared.
Other than that, the Dr. was laughing and exclaimed how I had an active baby. She kept on trying to listen to his heart beat and was chasing him all over my stomach.
