I am so sick of people saying "You're so TINY", With my son, I was on the other end of the spectrum being HUGE, and people would say "OMG! You have HOW many more months left"?? I think it gets to me a little more though this time, because sometimes I feel like people don't think I eat, when in all reality, I eat MORE, I just choose my foods wisely this time around, I pick an apple with peanut butter over a candy bar or ice cream, or I'll eat more veggies for dinner instead of loading up on pasta...Yes, it's because I have to stick to somewhat of a diet, and not everyone knows that I'm gestational diabetic, but they don't need to know! Yes, I've only gained 17 1/2 lbs so far, but I know my baby is eating healthy, and that's better for him or her than being bigger and packing the fat on the baby!
The last couple appointments the heart rate has dropped from in the 150's to the high 130's mid 140's, I'm still hoping for a girl, and I slip every so often saying she, but a part of me is thinking boy, because the heart rate is now how my son's heart rate was. I guess we'll see.
All in all, Doc said I was doing great, and my thyroid levels were still normal!
Only 7 more weeks!
It is great that you are being so healthy and all is well
