I feel like I've reached a milestone- I'm down into the double digits. Only 99 days left to go until my due date!! I see the doctor again in 2 weeks for my glucose screening which will test for gestational diabetes. I don't think I mentioned it before, but at my last visit I had gained 7 pounds in 4 weeks. Craziness! I've been trying to watch my portion sizes and snacking and this week I've been eating a lot more fruits and veggies. I also went for a walk Monday night after work and will try to do that a couple of times a week. I'm supposed to gain one pound per week now and with 14 weeks left, that's 14 pounds. That seems like a lot! But I definitely have to try to not gain more than 1 pound per week and I can't try for less either. I'm just going to try and be healthier and whatever happens happens. I hope to start running again soon after he's born so that should help shed these pounds. Plus breastfeeding is supposed to help and I plan on exclusively breastfeeding for the first 3 months.
Tomorrow I will post my regular weekly update. Something else that has been on my mind that I will post about later is circumcision. I am strongly against it because it is an unneccessary surgery but there are some health benefits. I just don't know if the pros outweigh the cons. I'm doing a lot of research before making a final decision, but for right now I'm leaning towards not doing it. I'll post more about what I've found out and what I decide.
