I remember looking at this picture and thinking I wished I were skinnier and my butt wasn’t so huge and my thighs weren’t so pudgy. Now I look at it and wonder if I will ever be that size again. Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoy being pregnant and I wouldn’t trade it for anything- not even that body- but gaining weight SCARES ME! At my 19/20 week appointment I had gained 17lbs. And I’m only halfway through my pregnancy. Not horrible, but if I continue gaining at the rate I have been, I’ll be gaining 80lbs or something! From my 11 to 15 week appointment I gained 7lbs. And continued to add 7 more pounds from my 15 to 19 week appointment. Alright- I can NOT continue to gain 7lbs every 4 weeks. No way. I don’t understand it either, I am not eating any worse than I normally ever do, if anything I’m eating healthier. But then maybe its because I can’t drink diet drinks, I’ve been eating breakfast and drinking a glass of orange juice every morning, and if I am sick of drinking water I have to drink juices or regular sodas- which add on the calories. HAHAH Ok yeah so I’m just trying to justify it. Alrighty-WOAH is this the pregnancy website or my blog? I need to keep it straight here. Anyway, you now know why I have the beachy blog up with hubby and I. It may not be up for long- it’ll probably depress me.

Heh, heh Jess how do you like my colors? I’m using your Bluuuueee….

It’s a great picture!!! Don’t worry you will lose the baby weight 🙂 A sweet little boy, that’s so exciting Nicole!
I worry about the same thing and I am not even pg. I wonder how I will not gain 80 lbs when I am pg. It will come off though. If you are eating healthy and still gaining then don’t worry. You are eating healthy…that is what is important.
Can you drink Crystal Lite or anything like that to cut back on the calories? I am sure that is probably the main culprit (other than being pg) and as soon as you have baby you can go back to diet…so you WILL lose it….quit worrying! 🙂
Oh it’s BLUE…me so happy…lol! 🙂
Girl, you know you’re just stressing out over nothing. If you’re really worried…dredge up the energy and make Ry go on a walk with you after dinner every night! Oh, and that Crystal Lite stuff that Bee mentioned really isn’t that bad! You can just get the on-the-go packs, and add it to your bottled water.
I just had to add…
I really don’t think you’re going to get all huge! 🙂
I love your picture!
You will loose your weight fast- especially since it is your first baby. I lost all of my weight from my twins within a few months after. Breastfeeding knocked it off for me.
Its my last two pregnancies that have killed ME. LOL.
You will do great! You are beautiful regardless!!!
Good luck and have a great Friday!!!
It could definately be the juice since they often have sugar. Man, if I was pregnant I think I would want to get fat and eat lots!!! 🙂 You will lose it all after…especially if you nurse.
I bet you will still look gorgeous when you are hugely pregnant! I love the new banner and colors 🙂 This pic will just have to remind you of where you’d like to be again after the baby!
