A Laugh at My Own Expence

I had forgotten how desperately I wanted a baby bump so early in pregnancy.

I had gotten heavier, but that's far from the bump I know and love now :) It's hardly a bump at all.

I admit the majority of my weight gain happened in the first 4 months, which is odd but not totally unheard of. I blame the Lick's chocolate milkshakes (one of the tasty things that would temporarily remove that metallic taste from my mouth).

I do remember that at 16 weeks I did start feeling the baby move around, which is early for a first pregnancy.

What I've been hearing is just so true - every pregnancy IS different. Which is a relief, but at the same time frustrating! How am I supposed to plan every detail out? LOL

And yet another appointment

We saw the OB/GYN today for my regular monthly visit (which has turned into my regular every two week visit as of my next appointment).

I have not gained any weight. In fact I think I lost a pound. How is that possible? My belly is getting bigger, but I'm not gaining. Does this mean I can have that extra serving of chocolate ice cream? Or some large fries (no sharing with hubby this time)?

I was reassured by my doctor that considering my starting weight and early pregnancy weight gain we are doing fine. She measured my belly and baby is growing. She might send me for a scan next time just to be sure.

And though I would love another peek at my little man, I know I am going to be so sick and tired of appointments. Or rather waiting rooms!
