Jarrett and I just got back from our latest Dr.'s appointment and all is perfect! Mommy's blood pressure was nice and low, and baby's heartbeat was strong and healthy. We are so blessed! It seems like I've been eating a lot lately, and it definitely showed up on the scale this time around. Earlier this month I had a couple of different people ask me how far along I was and tell me, "Why you are so tiny!!" Well, in my mind I thought, "Oh my goodness- what if people think I am not eating enough for the baby?" To put it mildly, I began to 'overcompensate'. My Dr. asked me, "Have you been pretty hungry lately?" I gained like 8lbs since my last appointment! Yikes... So far I've gained 16lbs the entire pregnancy, but my goal is 20-25lbs... Today is the day I am going to lay off the Stoffer's French Bread Pizza's, take more walks and go for the salads...LOL!
On another note... Names! Jarrett and I finally narrowed the name down to one, precious name for our girl! We went to Michael's after our Dr.'s appointment to get the nursery letters. We will be telling everyone soon!! Thank you to all our sweet family and friends for your encouragement and prayers during this exciting journey into parenthood!
I can't wait to find out what you guys decided on! I think you look great! I wouldn't worry about what people say... Even ladies who have been pregnant seem to make stupid comments, forgetting how it effects you. Grr!
ReplyDeleteYou look fantastic, Katie. No worries about the weight- it all evens out in the end. I lost 5 lbs one month, gained 9 lbs one month, gained 1 lb the next- it also depends on what your baby is doing! Can't wait to hear the cute name!!!
ReplyDeleteoh my! You look BEAUTIFUL Katie! 8lbs, who cares! Don't worry about how much you gain (unless you gain a TON), but you won't. The baby is doing wonderfully and we're SO excited! What a great little baby bump! I can't wait to see you in December! Also can't wait to hear about the name!!!
