Update

Sorry that I haven't been able to post. Work has been busy and my home computer needs to be replaced...what a time to need a computer!

Anyways, my ultrasound last Wednesday was good. I have to go back next week, because it confirmed that my baby is *extremely* active and couldn't get some of the measurements. Everything looks great so far though...skin fold measurement was fine. I joked with the lady and said, good think I don't want to know the sex...she laughed and agreed. I am actually excited that I get to see it again!

Well, today/yesterday marks the half-way point!! I am officially 20 wks!!!!!! The only annoying thing is people keep asking how much I have gained and then proceed to tell me, WOW, you don't look like it and then go on to tell me they gained less than I did already for their whole pregnancy! I have determined that I am not telling anyone anymore!

I'm happy to hear your appointment went well!

I agree about not sharing your weight! What time in a woman's life is it okay to ask how mich weight you've gained It seems like people forget that weight is a sensitive thing whether your expecting or not

I'm sure you look great!!

Glad to hear that all is well with you and baby!
But don't you just love those weight stories?

Just last night in one of my classes, a few of the ladies said that they noticed my belly... and that i've really popped since last week. Then they continued by saying... you look small anyway. I don't know why, but that statement bothered me.

I'm 28 weeks, so I guess it's normal to have a belly, but it still feels weird knowing that people are looking at your belly...

I am so glad to hear that everything is ok!!

So happy for you!

Yeah! I'm glad everything went well for you! Don't listen to people!!! I've heard so many obnoxious comments, that I just don't pay attention anymore. Anyway, they are all cancelled out by the many more smiles and 'You look so radiant' comments that I also get!!

Glad everything went well.
I wouldn't tell anyone any of those things anymore. Everyone always seems to have a comment.

Don't listen to other people's comments....

I'm glad everything went well!!

I am glad that you had a good appt and all is good with the baby!!

Tell those annoying people that you gained 3lbs so far and watch their eyes pop out of their heads Really, it works.

Glad to hear that everything went well.

Don't pay those people any mind. Some poeple just don't know what to say.

Thanks everyone!! I must say, I was quite concerned that I was gaining too much weight after hearing that most people that are further along and getting yelled at for gaining less weight. I did ask at the Dr's about this, and even the women nurse said that I looked great and whatever I was doing, to keep doing.
I did tell her about some people getting warned on here and she said that my Dr's office doesn't like to see any less than 0.5lbs a week because they don't see it as healthy for you or the baby. Of course, every Dr has a different opinion, but I am certainly glad mine is letting me gain weight with fruit in one hand and a candy bar in the other!!

I can't wait to get a digital camera and hopefully feel brave enough to post a picture of my belly!!
