Im still out here

Hi everyone - I have been away for the last couple of months because this pregnancy has taken all of my energy away but I am feeling like normal again now that I am in my second trimester so hopefully I will be back to posting etc real soon-I wanted to let everyone know that I found out yesterday that I am having a boy and he looks perfect and is actually measuring agout 2 weeks ahead of schedule so I am assuming he will be big like my first son-I am happy because I have been so preoccupied that the baby wouldnt grow properly etc etc due to having the gastric bypass and I wasnt a year out when I conceived but I was wrong and I am thankful to God for that. I have however gained 14 pounds so far and that makes me nervous since i still have 4 more months to go ugh but I am trying not to worry about it-hopefuly i wont have too much trouble getting it off afterwards-well thanks for listening and I hope everyone out there is doing well! Take care-Lori : )

Welcome back Lori! Congratulations on your new little boy!! I know it's a relief to hear he's healthy. Don't worry about your weight right now just eat healthy for him. Hugs, Anna

So good to hear from you Lori and I'm glad all is going well with your pregnancy. We've missed you

A baby boy!! Gotta love those boys!!!!! I have 2 myself.. You have only gained 14 pounds in what ... 5 months??? Wow! That, in my opinion is great! Congratulations!!! Cathy

I am almost to six months and have gained over 20 and approaching 25 pounds (depending on the day) over 10 of it in the last month. But I am totally ok with the gain. The baby is growing as she should be and the weight is really insignificant when I think about the healthy baby growing in my tummy. God Bless! Jen

Hi Jen Im glad to see your doing well with your little one : ) As far as the weight gain I wasnt overly concerned until I went for my ultrasound at the specialists office and the doctor there made mention that they only want me to gain 25 pounds and she made it seem like my weght gain so far is need for concern since I am up 14 already out of the 25 and am only 19 weeks-Oh well my regular OB who I see on 4/4 told me 25-35 is ok so I guess I will go on more what she said and try to relax-Take care : )

They told me to gain aroung 25 pounds too. In actuality, I have gained 19.4 pounds since conception. But I had lost about 5 pounds in the beginning of my first trimester so from my lowest weight I am nearing 24 pounds but from my conception weight is is 19 pounds. Check out this calculator ... I am a few pounds ahead of the game but that is ok. None of the docs have made mention for me to slow down. http://www.paternityangel.com/Preg_info_zone/Weight/CalcWeight.htm God Bless! Jen

So glad to hear your doing well Lori. Feel free to pop in more often.
