First let me start with the story of my trip to see my doctor last week. I went in feeling pretty confident that my weight gain was not completely out of control. I was weighing in at around 150.5 lbs which puts me 1 pound from my original pregnancy weight or up 4 pounds if I count the 3 I lost the week before I found out that food helps with nausea! Well my doctor (GP not OB) told me that I was gaining weight to fast! WTF? I was so upset; I thought I was doing pretty well for being 10 weeks pregnant! He then took my blood pressure which was 92 / 63 and he kind of said under his breath "that is low" and then said nothing more. My mom and I have decided that his brain was somewhere else that day. I have has this doctor since I was 2 when I fell and split my noodle open! He has always taken good care of me and my family and now Trevor but some days he just does not seem to be completely focused on me at my appointment. He tried to give me another prescription for Diclecton (sp?) for nausea when I told him he already gave me one the last time I saw him but it was too expensive! Anyways he said that I do not need to see him and my OB monthly, as long as I see one of them. So I think it will be my OB that I will continue to see. He is going to deliver the baby anyways and I really like him so it makes sense! Plus I kind of want someone who will be completely focused on me and the baby.
Ok, now that I have that off of my chest I have a confession! I feel like an absolute pig and a whale all rolled into one! The last few weeks I have been eating everything in site, some of it good, most of it bad! I can't seem to get enough takeout, chocolate and sweets! Yikes! This is just not the pregnancy to blame here. This is me thinking I have free rain to eat what ever I like now. Plus food makes my nauseous tummy feel better! It is one extreme or the other with me! Why is it that as soon as we let that fog roll over and do not pay complete attention to what we are putting in our mouths our nasty food addiction and habits rear their ugly heads! Also, I feel huge, although my jeans still fit and my size 10 pants still fit! My stomach can get so bloated and my waist is disappearing! Some of my smaller tops are kind of tight because my breasts are huge and my stomach is bloated and I am getting that little pregnancy pooch in my lower abdomen!
All that said though, I got on the scale this week (last night as usual) and I closed my eyes , fearing the worst because all I do is eat, and I gained the huge whopping half a pound! What the heck is with that? Not that I am complaining but I feel huge! I figured I gained at least another 2 lbs! So that puts me at 2.5 pounds up from my original pregnancy weight or 5.5 pounds up If I count the three that I lost, which I do not think I will count anymore! So I am 11 weeks pregnant and have gained 2.5 pounds, I think that is pretty damn good for a food addict.
Tuesday morning I decided to start eating better for me and the baby, not that I have been eating all bad but I need to think about what goes into my mouth or I will gain 60lbs! I feel so much better and it has only been 2 days!
Also, the all day nausea seems to be leaving (knock on wood!). Yesterday was the first day in about 6 weeks were I felt good most of the day, except right after I woke up and right before I went to bed! This I can deal with! So, I am going back to the gym today! I told myself as soon as I had one good day I'd go back and so I have my bag all packed up and I am ready to go straight after work. A good friend of mine told me they got brand new stationary bikes! I am so excited to try them out they were talking about them for months before I left! Gosh I miss going there. I am excited to go back tonight! I think it will make me feel better in so many ways!
 Well, did everyone have a nice Valentine's Day? I had an awesome Valentine's Day. Saturday Trevor took me out for dinner to Taco Bell (we love to eat there!) and he bought me a Gund bear holding a red box that contained a beautiful white gold diamond (9 of them!) ring, like the one on the right! Gosh what a lucky girl I am! He said he wanted me to remember the Valentine's Day when I was pregnant with our baby! He made me cry!
Then last night we had a candle lit dinner and a quite night at home just the two of us! To make it even better I was finally feeling better!
Oh yes, I wanted to say congratulations to one of my bestest friends Megs! She is fading away on me and has lost 37 pounds! You go girl!
Well, I guess that is it for me today. I am so looking forward to going back to the gym tonight!
Have a great day!

I am feeling better but I am still having some nausea throughout the day. I have found the best way to fend it off is to eat as soon as I get up and then graze all day long! So I have been brining lots of fruit to work with me to try and snack on that. I am starting to show when I don't have any clothes on! I am getting what looks like a baseball in my lower abdomen. I guess my uterus us getting ready along with all my other organs! It is what they call the pooch! My clothing still fits like it always did except for at the end of the day when I am all bloated! This week I weighed in at 150.5 lbs. Which is a gain of 1.5 pounds since last week. This is a total of 3 lost and then 4.5 gained. But technically because my original weigh in for my pregnancy was 149 this means I am only up 1.5 pounds. Either way I think I am doing all right since I am going into my 11 week! I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow, with my regular doctor, so I will ask him what he thinks. All I know is that if I ate like this before getting pregnant and took time off from the gym I would gain 3 pounds a week no problem! I guess my body deals with food differently now. I need to eat small amounts all day.
I am still off from the gym. I am still feeling ill off and on and I am exhausted. I am going to talk to my doctor tomorrow and think about returning next week or the following week. I will be 12 weeks by then so hopefully the nausea and exhaustion will begin to lift.
Trevor and I are having a lot of fun buying baby clothes and pricing all of the other stuff! So far we bought mostly yellow with a few blue! Everybody we know says it will be a girl. But I think it is a 50 / 50 shot! I don't really have a feeling yet as to what our little bean may be.
We are all settled in to our new place. It is so nice having all that room! Our new living room is the size of our old bachelor pad! I will admit that the baby's room is already full of teddy bears and some old stuffed animals from when we were kids. The room is already a very nice baby green so I think it will stay that color!
Well I guess that is about it. Tomorrow is my last doctor's appointment until 1-Mar when I see my OB and we get to hear the heartbeat! I'll keep everyone posted!
Oh yes, I have made few changes to my site to focus on my pregnancy and gaining weight. I have created a page called About Me Pregnant and have change my column to the right to chart my pregnancy weight. I have also made a new chart to record my weight gain while being pregnant. It just felt wrong subtracting my pregnancy weight gain from the total weight loss that I achieved. My pregnancy is a separate journey than my weight loss and therefore I want to separate it on here. I will enter my total weight gain for my pregnancy on my weight loss success page after I have the baby. I'll set a date for that later!
Take care,
Wendy
