Weigh me Wednesday (Two Weeks Left…Can You Believe it?)

Can you believe I only have 2 weeks left?  Oh my goodness!  I can't!  I am dilated 3 cm, so we are making progress, but too bad it is taking longer than hoped.  I FINALLY gained 1 lb. within the past 6 weeks.  Don't get me wrong- I am not complaining that's for sure!  I am surprised how much I slowed down since I was gaining so quickly previously.  Are you ready to start losing the weight again if … [Read more...]

Weigh Me Wednesday

It has been 5 weeks and I have not gained a single pound!  The baby is measuring on schedule though, so there is no concern.  I always gain my weight in the beginning and slow in the end.  I'll take it.  I am still only 2 cm dilated, but my husband is away this week, so I hope the little one stays in for at least another week.  I have 3 weeks left anyways, so there is definitely time.  It is going … [Read more...]

Weigh Me Wednesday

So, this has definitely been some of the worst weeks of my life.  My eardrum ended up rupturing and my sinuses are playing a huge role in it.  The only upside is that I was wrong on my weight and I haven't gained a single pound in 4 weeks.  The Dr. wasn't concerned and said my baby is actually measuring ahead of schedule.  Another 23" baby possibly?  I am also 2 cm dilated, so hopefully only a few … [Read more...]

Weigh Me Wednesday

WOW!  Has it been a heck of a week for me.  I won't even get into all of the details, but I completely see why I have not gained much weight.  Isn't it crazy how emotions play so much of a role in our weight?  This week's recipe is not a healthy recipe whatsoever, but it is just in time for Valentine's Day and we all need sweets every now and then, right? Classic Red Velvet … [Read more...]
