I really haven't been eating well. It was Thanksgiving! Come on! It was great. Lots of good food, people eating and chatting; its contagious. It was justified because I had Thanksgiving dinner at my house, I put a lot of effort into it, I reserve my right to eat whatever I want ... including leftovers! Yeah... well, that along with being a bit nauseated if I don't eat often enough has caused me to revert back to my old eating habit which is "I NEED TO FEED RIGHT NOW!" I am guessing this is similar to what vampires feel like, except they don't have the consequences of weight gain like us mere humans. I have gained 19 lbs since July. I am so afraid of gaining all the weight back that I just lost this year. I only have 16 lbs to go before I am exactly where I was. My doctor is not happy with my weight gain either. I was lectured about it for nearly an hour and was sent to a nutritionist. Obviously I know how to eat correctly, because I was quite successful at it.

I know I am pregnant, but my doctor said she still weighs under one pound. I can't really blame 19 pounds on her even though I would like to justify it that way. I was supposed to only have gained 10 lbs the entire time with healthy eating habits. Not doing well at it so far. She is just over half way done baking (22 weeks) and I have gained twice as much as I am supposed to in 40 weeks.
Anyway, on that note I will switch to a more cheerful subject!

The top left picture is my kid's profile. She was moving around a lot. In every monitoring of her she has never held still for more than half a second which made measuring her super hard for the doctors.
The top right is the 4D image. She kind of has a big nose, but whatever. Hopefully it is just all the goo that swims around in there with her that is just stuck to her face? Possibly?
The bottom left is her leg. All measurements were absolutely perfect. The due date is still April 6th.The bottom right is the one that shows she is a girl. Like I said, she wouldn't hold still, so it is just the lack of anything showing that proves her gender.
Here are a few more pictures of earlier weeks.
17 weeks, Gained 10 lbs, I had some help from my handy-dandy Spanx in this picture.

15 weeks, Gained about 5 lbs

10 weeks, Lost about 3 lbs at this point

Have you tried Livestrong.com? Go to the my plate and use it as a tracker. I personally think its way more useful and user friendly than the WW stuff. That's what I am doing these days.
Don't eat too much. The last thing you need to be sattled with after your new baby comes is a bunch of weight to lose. That's what I did to myself and it was horrible.
Just track and plan a little and you'll be fine. It's not too late. You can do it. You just need to have a few "good" eating days in a row and you'll feel much better about all this.
I totally feel for you and the weight. I gained a lot with each one. It's soooo hard when you are sick, the only thing that helped me feel better was to eat pretzels 24/7! Sooo sorry. With each kid I did a little better, but I wasn't as sick! Love the ultrasound pics!
My darling niece,
What a surprise but if you are happy then I am happy for you. If you need me to do anything for you (like hold and kiss the face of your darling daughter) I'm there to do it. I'm thinking I should be her favorite GREAT Aunt. Have you picked out any names yet? (Melody is a great name and not that common). I love you too.
Aunt Melody
