Grand Weigh In

Today I have my monthly OBGYN appointment. It's at 4:45. An interesting part, of course, is the weigh-in. I don't weigh myself between visits so it's always a surprise to see how much weight I've gained with this little fellow. For morbid curiosity and the sake of total disclosure, I will give you all the numbers:

Week 8: -4 lbs. from original weight ( I was sick a lot during the 1st trimester)

Week 12: -2 lbs. from original weight

Week 16: +1 lb. from original weight

Week 21: +7 lbs. from original weight (ha, I clearly enjoyed Thanksgiving!)

Week 25: We will see.....

Any bets?

Although, I feel I should warn you. All my doctor's appointments until now have been in the early morning and today's will be at 4:45 p.m. EVERYONE knows that evening weight is totally different from morning weight. Who bothers to weigh themselves in the evening? I only bother to weigh myself butt naked, with dry hair, straight out of bed, after I pee but before I drink ANYTHING.

So hedge your bets for the grand ol' weigh-in!

I got you beat at 60 with Jackson! You are a fit, trim, skinny minny and if you gain 100 pounds you will still be beautiful (i know you won't though)!

By looking at you I would say you are still at NOTHING. I guess babies are supposed to weigh something when they come out. So I would guess you wieghed what Baby J is supposed to weigh! :)

And I loved reading everyone's comments. :) Nice to know its normal to gain weight... so I will make note of that and gain as much as I see fit when our day comes.

i topped 200 pounds when i was pregnant. I was a real chub-a-lo. My kids were little fellas too. I'm still on the chunky side but that makes me more fun and able to hold my beer better. LOL

I gained 12 pounds during the December I was pregnant (can it BE that it was 23 YEARS ago?). Ah, those Christmas cookies. They were my downfall. I only gained 33total, though and lost like 7 during the first trimester due to morning (afternoon and evening) sickness.
