It’s not impossible to lose the baby weight but it does take hard work. Don’t be fooled by all of the celebrities who make it look so easy and set unrealistic standards. You probably won’t lose it all in the first month, or the first 6 months even. If it takes a year, that’s okay.
Eat right and exercise regularly and the weight will come off. Maybe not as quickly as you’d like, but keep working at it and don’t give up.
I find that using calorie tracking tools really help. If you don’t measure it, you can’t manage it, right? I find that I tend to be much more gracious about my intake when I am not writing down what I eat. Even if you don’t set a low caloric intake goal, just writing down what you eat will help you be more aware of how much you consume.
Finally, invest in some exercise equipment (or a gym membership if that’s what works for you) that you will really use. I perfer my water rower. It gives me a cardio workout and exercises 85% of the muscles in my body. And it doesn’t take up much space.
Give yourself the goal of working out a certain number of times each week rather than a weight goal, so that each week you feel the satisfaction of having met your goal. And if you don’t meet your goal, you get a fresh start every week!

Izzy has been having a hard time staying asleep during naps this week. Everytime I put her down she wakes up. So today, I didn’t put her down.

I went to the doctor yesterday and was still 1cm, 50% effaced. She did say that my cervix is now facing down rather than forward, which is some progress. So it looks like we might make it to Saturday, which is when my mom gets here…would be best if baby comes on the due date so that both my mom and sister will be here.

Well, we’ve made to Dec 26th with no sign of momodos. He/she will come whenever it’s the right time but we’re hoping for a post-Jan 3rd birth so that my mom will be here from Florida.
At my last doc appointment, which was Monday, December 22nd, I was 1cm dilated and 50% effaced. I forgot to ask which station the baby was at but I don’t think he/she was low. I’ve had some minor contractions throughout the week but nothing major. It’s a just a waiting game.
I go to the doc again on Monday. We’ll see if there has been any progress…

Scheduled for Wednesday, August 6th
I’ll be in the 19th week at that point. This is the one where we should get some fun photos of the baby. No, we are not going to find out the gender. We’re going to wait. So buy gender neutral till January 6th.
Notes from WebMD for this week (17 weeks pregnant):
Baby: Your baby, now about in its 15th week of development, measures about 4.4 to 4.8 inches from crown to rump and has doubled in weight in the last two weeks to about 3.5 ounces. Fat begins to form, helping your baby’s heat production and metabolism. The lungs are beginning to exhale amniotic fluid, and the circulatory and urinary systems are working. Hair on head, eyebrows and eyelashes is filling in.
Mom-to-be: You’re showing more now, with an obvious swelling in your lower abdomen. A five- to 10-pound weight gain is typical by now. You also may be noticing an increase in appetite. <--- Note: I have gained 6.6 lbs.
