24 weeks and all is well

I had my 6 month check up yesterday and the doctor said the baby is doing great. I however need to slow down on the weight gain. Apparently my cheesy crunch gorditas have paid off and I gained a little too much these past four weeks. My doctor is very sweet though and said it was okay but I shouldn't do this every month.


It's hard to know how much I gain between visits because we don't own a scale. Since all my maternity clothes have elastic or adjustable waist bands those are not a good indicator of how my weight is doing either. So I guess gone are days that I would indulge in a piece of chocolate cake or eat whatever sounds good because I am after all pregnant. I guess that's not a good enough excuse anymore. Veggies and fruit here I come!

Here's my 6 month belly picture.
