What Does That Scale Say?!?!?

I really did ask the question, "what does that scale say?" at my doctor's appointment with Dr. C today. Logically I knew how to do the math, but I just couldn't immediately process the fact that I have gained 21 pounds so far.

Especially since I only gained 5 pounds in my first trimester, which means I've gained 16 pounds in the last 2 months. Eeek gads!!!

Dr. C said he's not worried about it and that I shouldn't be either. He said it is going to be impossible for me to stay within my original goal range of 25-30 pounds because of the fact that I'm not allowed to exercise at all. I guess he has a point that turning the pages of books and watching Netflix after Netflix doesn't exactly burn a lot of calories.

So my new goal is 35 pounds or less. Let's see ... I've got 18 weeks until my due date and only 14 pounds leeway? I wonder what the Vegas odds are on that?

Anyway, everything else with the checkup went fine and I'll see Dr. C again in 4 weeks. Stay tuned...
