Big Mama

Remember how I talked about how if I gained more than 20-25 pounds then I would know that Hostess had something to do with it?
That day has come.
Last night, after eating a delectable meal at Chef's Table--including, of course, Chocolate Lava Cake--Mike decided to weigh himself. After he complained about being the heaviest he's ever been, I weighed myself too.
Well, the husband is not the only one tipping the scales!
I can't even describe how I felt after reading the number. I have never been even close to this weight before now! I was doing well with exercising before my back started going out, only gaining 1-2 pounds a week.
When I found out I was pregnant, I researched the amount of weight gain that would be acceptable for my current weight/height, and it came out to be 15-25 pounds.
Well, five more pounds and I'm at my limit and I'm only TWENTY-SEVEN WEEKS!
AHHH!
I'm hoping I can lose ten pounds when school gets out, because I won't have to pack a lunch full of treats to get me through the day. Plus, I plan on going for walks when the weather stops PMSing. As my friend Elisha B. Facebooked today, "Somebody give Mother Nature some Midol and chocolate, please!"
Okay.
I have an ideal weight in mind by the time Chloe comes. A weight that will be acceptable to me, because as Mike keeps pointing out, I'm supposed to be gaining some weight.
But tell me this:
What woman is okay with gaining weight, whether or not there's a little person kicking around inside her?

  2. I feel you sister! I gained 30 pounds while pregnant. Luckily I was back down to normal weight about three days after the birth. BUT now I've been gaining weight because all I do is sit on my butt every day. Babies sure cause lots of fun stuff.

  3. Hey, I gained 55 Pounds and I didn't get back to my prego weight until a year after. It's different for everybody. It's not worth stressing over. I always say, "I'm to blessed to be stressed." Luv ya girl

  4. K, maybe I'm weird but I LOVE being pregnant because it's the only time in your life you're SUPPOSED to gain weight on a weekly basis, and I don't have to worry about thinking to "suck in" all the time, and I can eat constantly and it's ok. Stop worrying and live it up I say. : ) You look hot girl! Just enjoy it! Miss you!
