Yesterday I had a very successful pre-natal appointment. The battery on our bathroom scale died a few weeks ago, and I’ve been fretting about how much weight I’ve gained ’cause it seems that every time I wake up from sleeping my tummmy is bigger than it was when I fell asleep. I was starting to feel like a huge cow. I know, I’m SUPPOSED to get bigger, and I know I’m SUPPOSED to gain weight, but when you have no idea how much you’ve gained, it’s quite easy to feel like a sloth. So of course, the first thing you do during a pre-natal check up is take your shoes off and get weighed (and of course ALL of my appointments have been right after lunch…). So imagine my surprise when I find out that I only gained 1 lb over the past 4 weeks! My Dr. was very impressed. That makes my grand pregnancy weight gain up to 9 lbs – 4 lbs in the 1st 2 weeks after my Dr told me to cut back on running, 4 lbs over December (Christmas, New Year’s etc..) and 1 lb during January. He says now I can gain up to a lb a week 
I don’t know if I can eat THAT much. I’ve been eating everything in sight already!

Prego, running, and gaining 1 pound… your bun in the oven is definitely going 2B an athelete; Canadian Style.
Good job on your health ethix CG.
Sounds like the baby is doing good. If you want to gain more wait, try drinking a cup of bacon grease every morning for breakfast.
I love when doctors try to fatten you up to fit the weight gain charts. Eat when you are hungry and I think you will do fine. Your body knows better than the doctor, and its doing exactly what it was designed to do.
Sounds like you’re doing great.
Most likely, anything you gain from here on out will be all baby weight. Unless you suddenly have a huge urge for daily Slurpees from 7/11 like I did. I gained 15 pounds in my last two months. Not good. lol
Don’t fret, I’m gaining enough weight for you!

Good to know, good to know. (Says the Princess that wants to get pregnant, runs, and is terrified of gaining too much weight.)
Wow! Wow! Wow! I am pretty stunned. Having gained 60 in my pregnancy (which I only admit because it was mostly water), all I can say is wow. Good for you!
GOOD FOR YOU!!!! I gained SOO much with my pregnancies…60lbs each time…still have 10 to lose from that 2nd one.
damned children!
Wow! that’s great Marie! Can you imagine the weight this non-running preggo is going to gain? LOL
