We had our monthly check up with doctor this week. The baby's heartbeat is good and the baby is moving around.As exciting as it is to hear the baby's heartbeat, I dread the monthly weigh in. Now I knew that whole eating for two thing wasn't true, but I had no idea that I would have to watch my weight more closely than when I was in Weight Watchers! It's amazing how all the pregnancy books can make you feel like crap just because you're craving (and eating) a little junk food. Of course I want to eat good for the baby, I just thought that this would be the one time in my life where I could enjoy food and not really worry about weight. I'm sure it would help if I would exercise. However, I'm still lacking energy and wonder why the skinniest part of our legs (the ankles) are at the bottom. I guess I just need to suck it up, lace up those tight-fitting shoes and get walking.
On a more positive note, Matt did a wonderful job painting the nursery over the weekend. He even picked the color scheme with only a little help from me.
And hopefully the kitty drama is coming to a close. She's now on stronger medicine and we have confirmed she's not diabetic. Let's hope the medicine works!

Jen - You look great!! Keep your chin up and your feet moving - I made Uncle Pete walk after dinner with me while I was carrying Mags, but not so much with Kate and I noticed a difference.... Maybe getting up and walking in the am would be better - I find that I feel soooo much better if I walk in the mornings, it seems to start the day off right.. love ya -- DAC
Awesome! Great to see you're doing well. EAT! Enjoy the food. You're right, you should enjoy it. I'm sure a little junk food isn't that bad. All babies like pizza rolls, ice cream, chocolate, and some potato chips every now and then. They really like watermelon at 10pm when all the stores are closed.
