When I was pregnant with DS, a friend emailed me "You look so good! When I was pregnant, I was a whale." I emailed her back "Well, if you were a whale, I'm a whale shark!"
So here I am, more than half-way through my pregnancy, and I'm a whale shark again. I just went to my doctor appointment and I gained 6 1/2 pounds in one month. 6 1/2 pounds! The only reason why I didn't get a good scolding from him was because last month I gained only 2 pounds, and overall I gained 13 pounds, which he said is not too bad. But he did say I need to be careful and I can't keep gaining a lot of weight.
I can't remember how much I gained during my first pregnancy. I think it was between 27-29 pounds. Of course, I was not skinny to begin with (let's just say the year before I became pregnant one of my female co-workers actually asked me "are you expecting?" The NERVE! Ha ha), so of course I would look like a whale shark at the end of 9 months.
Well, I just have to be more careful about what I eat.
And I'll start as soon as I finish up the Two-Bite Brownies that I bought at Sam's Club (sooooooooo much better than the Brookies). YUM =)

13 pounds is not bad at all! You enjoy those brownies! I say you're doing great!
I gained so much weight with my oldest that my OB told me to try to lose 2 pounds before my next visit. Oh! And at Thanksgiving he told me I really should "skip the pie". Hmph!
Being pregnant is about the only time that we can gain weight and really be beautiful. I am not saying go overboard but you do have to provide nurishment for the little one. Enjoy it.
thats the good thing about being pregnant is you can eat anything, and it wont matter cause your fat anyway rofl ;)
hope the pregancy is going well for you. i hated being pregnant!
thanks for stopping by my place and leaving a comment too :)
Oh god I can relate. I got pregnant shortly after college, where I gained the freshman 50 - wait what? God I wish I was kidding. Add another 30-40 to that. I was not a very well behaved mom. And I haven't lost much more than maybe 10 lbs since then... ::sigh::
The next baby? I'm hoping i'm so nauseous I can't keep anything down. Seriously.
