it's just a number. it's just a number

Today I went to the doctor for my 26 week visit. Everything looks great, I'm so lucky to have easy pregnancies. But when I stood on the scale, I wasn't all that thrilled. It was the biggest number I have ever seen on my scale. yikes, I still have 14 weeks!

I found a book the other day where I kept track of stats when I was pregnant with Anna. My weight just days before I delivered her was less than what I started weighing with this pregnancy!

My doctor reminded me that I'm older this time, but that what I've gained is a healthy gain for pregnancy. He reminded me to not give in to every craving and to eat good healthy food.

I know I'm fine, and I'll bring that number down, but it was a pretty startling revelation! Maybe from now on, I'll just stand backwards on the scale!
