When I was pregnant with Lorelei... no one really thought that I was pregnant... I was just fatter... really I was... I was 310 when I got pregnant... and 335 when I had her...

Well, today was was my first blood test to track and make sure I don't get GD... fast all night and then get blood drawn and then go eat and come back an hour later to give the vamps more blood...

Well, I wasted some time walking around the berkshire mall (they have a quest lab there) and went into Gymboree to see if they had any good steals (omg found plaid tights for Lore for 99 cents lol)... and the sales lady asked me when I was due... no one every did that when I was pregnant with Lore... and then after all the vamp stuff I went to the grocery store and the cashier asked me when I was due... twice in one day... I was so happy... I came home and told Jeremy and he just laughed... he understood but you know he is thinking such a girl at the same time...

BTW- got the cutest stuff for the girls... wow that is so strange to say... they can dress a like but not the same... hehehe... so if you are needing stuff this fall/winter for your kids gymobree had a ton of stuff for 6.99 or less and a ton of stuff in the 99 cent bins...

Shannon,

That's a great WOW moment.  When I was pregnant with my girls, I also had to tell people because they "weren't sure" and didn't want to say anything in case I wasn't. 

(I confess to being reluctant to say anything to someone if I'm not 100% sure because I know how awful it felt to be on the other end of that question when I wasn't preggers!)

So I can definitely relate to how wonderful you must feel!  CONGRATS~!

great wow moment!! I agree that it is totally awesome for people to realize that you are pregnant and not just fluffy.  I have been asked repeatedly if I was pregnant when I wasn't.  Hopefully that won't happen today.

I did get a comment today from someone I know telling me that my boobs were getting bigger while I was losing weight... uh no.... the belly is just much smaller, so the boobs are bigger than the belly now, like they are supposed to be. LOL!!

Shannon that's a great wow!! You were working on a good baby  bump when I saw you last time! I am sure that it is more noticable now!

PS - how's the 2000 calories going?

I have quit counting lol... depending on how Squirmy is laying in me depends if I can eat more than a bite at a sitting lol... the OB and I think by the end I might be pretty much on a liquid diet of sorts because of this... Squirmy is way higher at this point than Lore was my entire pregnancy... I carried Lore really low... she never went past my waist line... and this one is way way higher lol... so right now he just wants to me to eat when I can...

so I have had to add back in protein bars to help make sure I get enough protein... once i get my protein powder in (ordered a new flavor hehehe) I will be adding that in too... my OB also thinks the high risk ob doc is nuts... so he said if I gain weight that is fine as long as it isn't like 60 pounds or something like... so 10 to 15 is fine with him... right now I am at 218... and trying not to go over 220 if I can lol...
