Tipping the scales...

I love this workout DVD!!!

Today I had another OB appointment.  It was pretty uneventful, other than I got to hear the wonderful heartbeat again.  I did learn a few things.

1.  One in 1,300 people are born without a kidney.

2.  My fundal measurement is 24 cm, which is pretty much right on target.

3.  I learned what a fundal measurement even is!

4.  It's okay to look at the scale and ask, "IS THAT EVEN HEALTHY?!!"

5.  Random face breakouts are totally normal and will go away... eventually.

6.  Refusing the optional flu shot is also okay, even if others try to influence your decision to do so over and over and over...

7.  Gaining 12 pounds in your first 21 weeks isn't nearly as bad as it seems.

...That being said, I'd like to continue talking about my weight gain since it's bugging me today.  :) Apparently I should just look away from the scale from now on at appointments because I was disturbed to see myself bumped up from the 30's to the 40's.  Not fun.  I really try hard to eat well, but I definitely slip up often.  Why are Reese's cups so good?!?!  The only thing that has saved me is the wonderful prenatal workout dvd that my awesome husband bought for me.  When I first got it, I thought it was going to be a yoga workout... aaand then I quickly found out that it was pretty much aerobics + Pilates.  I didn't start using it until the second trimester, which by that time I had already lost my pre-pregnancy endurance, so it was pretty difficult.  After a couple days of doing the hour long workout, I felt SOOOO much better!  It's actually really fun, and I can honestly say completely effective.  I'd be blubber if I didn't do it a few times a week.  It's certainly recommended by me to any expecting moms.  I'm so grateful Dana is so good at picking things out for me like this... and the lifesaving pregnancy pillow he bought me!  (But that can be another post... hehehe.)  I could go on and on about how wonderful he is and how much I love that man, but I'd have to make an entirely new blog.  :)

I'll just finish up on this note.  Baby is healthy.  Momma is becoming more rotund each day, but healthy.  Daddy is...well, actually sick at the moment.  However, he's coming home to us in a few weeks for thanksgiving, and WE CAN'T WAIT!!!
