Proud of myself

I am very happy to proclaim I have not been eating like a pig and so far have only gained 18 pounds in my 27 weeks of pregnancy - considering I gained 60 pounds with my son - I am very proud!

Just thought I'd share and gather a few "atta girls"....I am actually supposed to be working from home and am procrastinating - shame on me!

I like the name Sarah Alyson! And no Congrats Tammy or That's Amazing Tammy until you get your work done.

Wow you're one tough cookie!

P.S. Sarah is after my great grandmother

I want to have an Elizabeth for the same reason. Elizabeth Marie, a good German name in the Italian family I married into. hehehe. Ok conrats are ok after you start working. (I crumble easily.)

Your OB must be proud - that is right around the recommended weight gain.  That means about half the weight will be gone when baby comes.  It won't take you long to lose the rest.  How much did your son weigh? Congratulations, Bev

Thanks Bev - I think with an overweight pregnancy they only like to see you gain like 15 pounds - but that is totally unrealistic as far as I'm concerned! My ob hasn't said anything so I'm assuming they're pleased...My son came 3 weeks early and weighed 7 lbs. 12 ounces (imagine if I carried him to term )!!

I lost like 38 pounds with my son after a month or so, I think nursing really helps with the weight loss after pregnancy. I plan to hit the road with this little girl and start walking with her as soon as I'm able - I'm not sure how long I'll have to wait to get a fill after she's born. To be honest though, I do not miss having fill in my band at all - I really struggled for so long - maybe things will be different this time

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! That's awesome.... even better is that you sound like you are doing good and so is baby... :)

Thank you! I am doing pretty well considering my age - I'm bummed because I failed one of my four blood levels in the 3 hour glucose test - the first reading was supposed to under 180 and I was at 191 - all the other readings were perfectly within range...... so now, although I am not diagnosed as a gestational diabetic they are treating me as one because I am considered glucose intolerant.

This means a lot more office visits........but I gotta do it, what choice do I have?

CONGRATULATIONS TAMMY!!!  I am so proud of you!!  April 14 is my daughter Linnea's birthday...(she'll be 14 this year~God I'm getting old!!)

Thanks - I'm not GETTING old - I AM old!
