Weight Gain

Ok, so I went to the doctor's last Tuesday and got lectured by my doctor about my weight. I kind of knew it was coming, and it didn't help that I ate a huge burrito right before I weighed in. Anyways, throughout my whole first trimester, I lost about 5 pounds. I did not have any morning sickness, but I did have a lot of naseau and food aversions so I just didn't eat as much as I should have.
Since I have been feeling better the past few weeks, I have been eating more, especially for dinner. Overall, since I got my BFP I am up 3 pounds. To me, this does not seem like a lot of weight. I was overweight to begin with so I don't need to gain a lot of weight, but still...3 pounds in 16 weeks doesn't seem like the end of the world.
My doctor just asked me to be more conscience of my food choices and eat more small meals. I am trying, but to be completely honest, I am not going to stress out about it. I am not eating a lot of a junk food and I am trying to eat everything in moderation. As long as my baby is healthy, I can lose my weight later. (hopefully)

The cat is out of the bag!

After 2 doctors appointments, we have finally "come out" and told everyone that I am pregnant! We told our immediate family and close friends in September after my first appointment. We were able to show off our ultrasound picture which was a lot of fun. Last Thursday we went to the doctors again and we were able to hear the heartbeat for the first time. It was 160 beats per minute, and the doctor said it sounded really strong. After we got home on Thursday we decided that it was silly to keep it a secret any longer.
It feels so good to let everyone know. Now I can walk around, on even my worst bloat days and not feel like I need to suck it in! I am still wearing all of my normal clothes, but they are getting tighter and tighter each week. As soon as I start getting a belly, I will display it proudly for all to see!
