After Christmas.....

So this morning I weighed in at 171.4, and I am now at 30.2 pounds and 29 weeks pregnant. My latest goal is to stay around or under 40 pounds total so I have 10 pounds to go and 11 weeks. I don't think it should be so hard with the holidays ending and having less treats around. There is still birthdays galore in my family in January, and February as well as Valentine's Day but at least it isn't entire months of treats, just a day here and there.

Overall, I'm feeling pretty good. Plus, with taking drugs this pregnancy which allowed me to eat more and not ever throw up besides getting sick in California, adding an additional 10 pounds is not that crazy to me :) Also, I am completely done with Zofran. I did fill another prescription in case I need a pill here and there but so far, I am feeling better digestively and I'm not too nauseated if I take it easy and keep eating.

Earlier this month I was feeling pretty sick every day (I wrote about it on my family blog) and I finally went to the doctor. I found out I had a bladder infection and was so relieved that my symptoms were not here to stay for the next 3 months. I felt extremely uneasy, and just terrible, especially in the afternoon and evening. It was rough! Now that I'm about done with the antibiotics, life is getting much better and I feel better prepared to handle the 3rd trimester.

Feeling better

Well, I really stepped up the healthier eating and exercising and my weight evened out a little. I lost a little weight but I don't think this is bad since I needed to control it a little better. I weighed in at 7.6 pounds in 5 weeks, which was less than the 10 pounds I had predicted. When I asked the doctor about my weight gain he just laughed and said I am doing just great, measuring right on and he likes healthy moms. I also talked to 2 of my sister-in-laws who have had him as a doctor and they both said he doesn't care how much weight you gain as long as you pass your glucose test which is the next time I go in.

I can now breathe a little easier, eat a few more treats and enjoy my holidays! I am going to try and not overdo it but eating some extras is definitely on my list!
