today i am 25 weeks pregnant and officially 30 lbs heavier. wowza.i only gained 4 lbs the first trimester, so you can imagine the crazy "growth spurts", as my doctor called them, that have happened in the past couple of months. eeks. and yes, i swear that is what she said, "growth spurts". said spurts have been noted by yours truly as they seem to happen overnight. last night, for example, i went to bed with a notable and impressive bump. this morning i have a huge, protruding, rock hard belly. weird. overnight. oh and last week, i got out of the shower to put on my impressive boulder holder purchased from the large ladies section, only to feel like someone had played a sick joke and switched it out for a training bra from the tween department! good lord. and i should add in my own defense, i have not been inviting this extra baggage, if you will. i have been walking, and eating fairly well. so in light of this crazy gain i decided to try and do a little math, just for my own peace of mind...
ok. so.
16 lbs lady lumps (in the back and in the front)
2 lbs baby girl
5 lbs chai fraps
7 lbs the 3 extra meals i eat a day to keep from
feeling sick/famished
30 lbs TOTAL
ohpp, yep, that sounds 'bout right.
i have the rest of my life to worry about my girlish figure, so keep growin' sweet girl. this momma can take it. and in the grand scheme its a teeny tiny price to pay to have you in our lives!
