37 Weeks....almost

Last week I went to the doctor and AMAZINGLY their scale said I had lost 3 pounds! I was astounded because according to my home scale I had maintained, if not gained 0.2 pounds. I go to the doctor again today and so I weighed myself this morning. Last week I was 210.8 this week 208.6, so yeah, as hard as I try to get sufficient calories, I am just not doing it very well....bad thing? I don't think so, I did the necessary checking for ketone's, (a byproduct of fat burning that crosses the placenta and if received by the baby in high enough quantities could possibly cause lower IQ) and I have not been anywhere near the danger zone, in fact most times I am negative for them, so does that mean I am not burning fat? I don't know. I do know that after this baby is born I will probably continue this diet, because apparently it works. Who knew!

So, my goal for this pregnancy was to NOT gain 60 pounds, closer to 30 or 40 and I would be fine. So far, my total gain has been 25.4. I really want a chocolate shake though.....just a week or two more.
