Thank you sweeties! Been hectic a bit around the homefront recently but I will be checking in on your journals soon as well!

20 weeks 1 day:



So far, weight gain has been steady and rapid. I posted yesterday that I was 117 lbs. but it must have been water or something as today I am down to 115 lbs. Still, it's a weight gain of 20 lbs. so far into my pregnancy.

I am wowed by that as I didn't gain that much at this stage of my pregnancy with Amanda and Jayden.

In other pregnancies, because I am constantly concerned about my weight when not pregnant, I had a very hard time adjusting to being pregnant and the weight gain. It somewhat depressed me throughout the pregnancies so I didn't enjoy them as much as I should have. The great things is I lost it right away after the babies were born.

I was talking to Dan last night and I said that this forum has actually helped me to enjoy my pregnancy and be proud of my bump. For the most part I am and am not wearing big shirts, etc. Well, certainly not wearing crop tops or anything either. ROFL

So, truly, I am really trying even though I am growing quite tired of my wardrobe now. LOL

ETA: Looking at that picture it looks as though my arse has grown.

Canceled my doctor's appointment yesterday as it was a stressful morning for getting jobs set up for the businesses.

So, 11:40 today I am going.

He said that around this time I should be referred to my gynecologist so will find out today.

Reminder to self: Get the triple blood test done!

Doctor's appointment was short and brief.

He received my 20 week scan results back and all was great. I actually was concerned because I started over thinking and wondering if the sonographer had the screen pointing away from me because of there being something wrong. But, all is well.

I brought up the issue of my weight gain. He said that each pregnancy is different (true!) and that it could be because of holding more water (amniotic fluid). He also said that he was happy with my weight gain and it's normal...1 lb. per week.

Heard baby's heartbeat today and it was at 145 bpm.

I also complained about what happened at my scan. Well, you know doctors, what can they do? LOL

As I said, all was well.

And, I guess from here on out I will be going to a gynecologist - appointment is on April 30th. BUT, just found out I won't have the same one as I had with my son. Oh, gosh, this should be interesting.

At least I won't have the same one as I did with my daughter so I should be grateful for that! I adamantly refuse to ever have her again!

Wow,I just noticed you strated one of these...
Great pics,really from your adorable kids to Dan(he is really....) to your new addition...
And your bump looks great,you have a fantastic figure.
I always had a slight problem with my weight,before puberty I was sooo thin my mom was embarresed to take me to the beach.When I was 13 I weighted less than 60 Ibs and I played intensive sports...then I started gaining weight,I don't know how but the thing is that everytime I gain a little weight I think I'm fat and everytime I lose a bit I think that I'm going back to thin...

Anyway,you look amazing and the bump looks amazing so don't worry one bit about it...
And I love the clothes in the latest,pink is really good for you...

P.S. gyn's are great to me.I really like mine.

Looking forward to updates!
