So, I packed on 10-12 pounds first trimester (I say within two pounds because I am guessing my starting weight based on last time I weighed myself before preggo)....and was getting a little concerned!!!  Went today and not another pound...thank goodness. 

Also, I know there has been some convo in regards to the sugar test.  So because of my gastric and history, they sent me to fetal meds about two weeks ago; well had follow up yesterday to discuss what to do about sugar test.  I can tolerate about 20-25 grams at most...the test is 50grams...that blew my mind.  The dr.;  nut & I decided it was best to go with the daily monitoring instead of sugar test.  It actually is best all around...preplanned diet and I keep an eye on my sugar isn't always a bad thing right?  Started testing yesterday and will for two weeks and if all goes well, I get to reduce the number of times to test.  So far so good...only one way outside of range....others are on upper end, but still within range.   Not sure if this info will help anyone, but it is an option that some dr. may give vs. sugar test.....

So next OB appt will be to see if we can see what we are haing.  We decided since my husband will be deployed during the birth, we decided it wouldn't be much of a surprise if we are both not there....so we will find out....

Hope everyone has a blessed day!!!  Stacey
