Baby Girl

Hey, if anyone's interested, Rebekah is here!

Go to jbdavisandco.blogspot.com to see her!

Almost time to get back into the weight-loss game. wahoo.

The Countdown Is On!

My due date is 13 days away. Aah! How did it pass so quickly?!

It's been two months since I posted, and I've put on a little weight. I'm now at 10 pounds over my pre-pregnancy weight. Not exactly the zero I was hoping for, but it's a million times better than any of my previous pregnancies, so I'm very pleased! Seeing how I have about two weeks left, I'm hoping not to gain too much (or any) more. I think this pregnancy's weight gain has gone very well!

Now just have to get everything ready and wait! Oh yeah, and celebrate Christmas too! :)

So...

At my 30-week appointment I had lost three pounds! I'm really not sure how that happened, and I don't really believe that scale is as accurate as it thinks it is. :) But, I'll take it!

So overall, I am four pounds more than my pre-pregnancy weight. Booyah!

But the real challenge is just ahead. Babies gain 1/2 a pound every week during the last month. Gotta eat well and exercise a lot so the last trimester weight doesn't kill me!

Wouldn't it be great to weigh less after having the baby than when I got pregnant? Just sayin'.

Cheers!

29 Weeks

Might as well keep this up so I remember it's there for post-baby fitness tracking!

I am at 29 weeks. I've had two appointments since I last wrote. At appointment A, I had gained 7 pounds. Whoops! I had just gotten back from visiting my family in VA and obviously they treated me well. :) I made up for it at appointment B by not gaining any. So right now I'm sitting at 7 pounds over my pre-pregnancy weight. Not perfect, but pretty good for 29 weeks, right?

During my last visit, my midwife said my weight gain (or lack of) has been great. That gave me the motivation to do these last few months right. How great would be it to have a baby and weigh less than when you got pregnant? Sounds pretty awesome to me. So my goal is to stay the same weight for the next 11 weeks. I'm at the point where I go in every 2 weeks, so it should be pretty easy to monitor and make changes if needed.

I'm really excited to meet this new little girl! I feel very strongly that she is meant to come to our family, and is meant to come at this right time.

Getting closer!

Halfway There!

This pregnancy is going by fast. Probably because I've got two other little kids that keep me busy. :)

Yesterday was my 20-week ultrasound. It's a girl! Yay.

I dreaded getting on the scale yesterday, because I've been watching my scale at home go up up up. But I stepped on and that scale said I weighed the same as last month!! Wahoo! I don't know why the two scales showed different things, but I'm inclined to believe the one that stayed the same. Hey, it's in a doctor's office-- much more high tech, right? :)

So that's the news for this month. 4 1/2 more to go!

July

Might as well post here once a month so I remember it exists!

Another month down, and I'm right at my pre-pregnancy weight. Wahoo.

More exciting, we get to find out baby's gender next week. Yay!

Well...

This isn'tmuch of a weight-loss blog anymore. Oh well! I'll get back to it in another 6 1/2 months! :)

As far as goals go, I haven't put on any weight since being pregnant! I'm actually down two and a half pounds. Yay! I am actually pretty surprised. I was felling really sick there for a while and was nibbling on something or other all day long in hopes that something would ease my stomach. But I guess it wasn't too bad and I've been moving exercising enough! I'm very happy!

Now, to keep this up for the next two trimesters!

I can do it!
