Almost at 29 weeks.....

Well, I am into the 3rd trimester of my fisrt pregnancy. So far I have only gained 4 pounds and it sounds like I may only gain another 3 or 4 pounds. Right now Piper weighs in at 2 pounds and 9 ounces and the placenta they are estimating around 1 pound 5 ounces. So that is all of the weight accounted for. I know that these numbers sound scarey because technically I should have gained 15 pounds or so, but I along with my daughter are very healthy. Everyone (pregnant or wanting to become pregnant) has been asking me what my secret is.....here it is.

I am a vegetarian now (I eat hard cheeses, eggs, and butter still) and I exercise daily and keep my core muscles pulled in at all times.

Crazy.......I know that's how it sounds, but it is partially true.

The real secret is just the fact that I already had 20 extra pounds to spare....by doing the above items I have allowed my daughter to just take my fat supply instead of putting on extra. Hopefully by Thanksgiving I will be back down to a much healthier weight of 145. We shall see.
