Another adjustment: weight gain. I've gained 9 pounds in 18 weeks. I know I'm on a healthy pace. The books say that I should expect to gain a pound a week from now until week 40. If I can keep to that, I will have only gained 31 pounds, which is pretty much right on target. I'm not afraid to gain weight, but it is strange to see digits I've never seen on the scale before. I'm just glad I'm finally showing so that this weight gain is justified!
This isn't the best photo of me, but my mom called asking for a picture and knowing I would forget, I took a quick photo on Todd's phone before I got ready for bed one night this week. It's not too flattering, but I'm sure it will be fun to look at later. (The shadow from my arm makes my bump look a bit bigger than it actually is!)
Baby S is the size of a sweet potato this week. Seems like yesterday he/she was the size of a grape. Time flies!
Pregnancy looks so great on you, Tara! Love hearing more about all that you're experiencing as Baby S keeps growing. Cute little sweet potato. <3
ReplyDeleteYou look beautiful!! Don't worry, you are doing great! I remember saying to my midwife in a freakout moment on the scale, "I've NEVER weighed this much before!" And she said, "Well, you've never carried a baby before!" :)
