Previous- 199.4
______________
Total Gained- 2.6

I would say not too bad for 2 weeks. I have my good days and my bad days. Mostly I love Swiss Rolls, I am pretty sure that at least a pound of that weight gain was from Swiss Rolls, I love them because Butterball Loves them.

And Butterball......he's a boy!

This Week- 199.4
Last Week- 199.0

Total Gained- 0.4

I think that the babies activity and growth rate caught up to my increased desire to eat, and my increased desire to eat sugary foods. I have been pretty happy with this week, I am learning to watch my portion sizes, I do eat a little more but most meals I am able to keep my self to a reasonable serving size. Though, like with last nights dinner, if it is particularly yummy I don't stop myself if I want seconds. I also have been trying hard to limit myself to 1 (maybe 2 small) sugary treats a day, this is hard because I know that my little Butterball, about 20-30 minutes after my sugary treat, will put on a show. I love it when the baby puts on a show!

Next week we find out exactly what kind of Turkey Butterball is, is my baby a Tom or a Hen? Come back next week and see!

20 Weeks

This Weeks Weight-199.0
Previous Weight- 198.8
______________________
Total Weight Gained- 0.2

See, I can be good. I decided that maybe it wasn't the best idea to eat sweets constantly, and I tried my best to only have one really sweet treat a day. So that makes the total over the past 20 weeks 15.6 pounds gained. That's an average of just over 3/4 of a pound per week. I can live with that. I think I can do this, I can NOT gain 60 pounds this pregnancy, I may hit 40, maybe 45, but not 60. And I hope that the weight I do gain is a little easier to take off too. Just as a heads up body, I bought a double jogging stroller, that right you have no less than 26 weeks to prepare yourself to run again. You may run really really really slow, but Yes, You will run. and you will like it.

Until then, I am enjoying being pregnant, I don't know if the differences between this pregnancy and my first are related to anything I did in the 2 years between, like trying to eat better and get more exercise, or if it is just the fact that each pregnancy is different. But I have finally hit the phase of pregnancy where I know there is a baby in there, not just because my body looks like there is, but because that baby is moving, sometimes a lot. I give little Butterball some of the credit for the 0.2 pounds we gained these past two weeks, keep up that exercising Butterball, it is really helping Mommy out!
