You look great! I love the baby pics too. I was also told that the suggested weight gain was reduced. They only wanted me to gain 30 with twins and I believe I gained 29.
Becky,
You are definitely fine. You probably barely see the weight gain anyway, right? I know my first few pounds went unnoticed, and being 6', I would think the same for you. Wow 6' you are so lucky!
Jenn I haven't had any doctors comment on my weight. The doc that did the 3D scan said that new studies in Scandinavia (or something along those lines) changed the recommendations on total weight gain... I think he implied that the study reduced the amount women should be gaining.
I'm fully expecting to blimp out in my third trimester, which I noticed this morning starts in 2 weeks!
When I see the babies being born I can't imagine having 3 more months to wait :) But then again, I didn't think I'd be getting pregnant anytime soon either, so it's all good.
Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!
Have any of you had the privilege of having your Dr. tell you that you had "quite a weight gain" since your last appointment? That's what my dr. said to me!! I gained 7 lbs. in a month, which brings my total up to like 13 or 14. I don't think that is so bad considering I am finally able to enjoy food again.
Ang, I love the 3D pic but the drawing is even better! I'm thinking about possibly doing a 3D one soon.
Becky that's really good, especially with your height and that you're having two babies. I wouldn't worry about that at all! I gained about 7 lbs. in my first trimester and I am only 5'4". You're doing great in my opinion.
i'm pretty worried about weight too. i gained 2 pounds in first 12 weeks and then when i went back one week later...i gained another 3.
3 in one week! ouch! not sure what that's all about. but you both look great and are doing great! i'm 6' 0'', does that mean i can go wild? :)
becky
I'm 5'6", and I guess I don't look like I've gained weight to people just looking at me, but I can tell that my legs and arms are bigger (just from being a runner-I used to be actually toned-now I just feel flabby!). Dh just ran a marathon and was running 140 miles per week and needless to say, I believe I now outweigh him! I used to weigh about the same as you and now I'm in the 130s!
Runner, as far as weight goes, I'm only 5'2"... So I most likely gain weight a little differently than a taller person, which I assume you are taller than me? I feel like I've gained quite a bit. Sam tried to lift me up off the couch the other day and BARELY could because he's used to me weighing 107+/-... not in the 120s!
Thanks for the paint comments and the "bathing suit" comments... they all made me lol haha!
Thanks Cake... I think I'll see what he looks like before I frame it ;)
Cake how are you doing? I looked back on your post and noticed that Indy and other women had much more detailed advice than I could have given you... Great information! But how are you doing with it all now?
I just had to post this because it makes me laugh :) I brought the 3D picture into a paint program and drew on it so that my sister and Sam could make out the facial features. HAHA!!!!
Oh Angie...How adorable!!! you and the babe!!!!! You look amazing as usual...I can totally see his little face!!! It's fantastic!!! Are you okay from the cyst-like pain??
Here's a regular U/S of his face. He was making a sucking face the whole time, my mom was laughing because it looked like he was chewing with his mouth open the whole time!
Also I had an ultrasound on Friday due to ovarian cyst-like pain. We did get a couple face shots. This is a 3D picture of my little boy's face. There's a lot of extra "stuff" on the sides of the face and there's no chin in the picture. Can you see the eyes, nose and lips? (and forehead!)
You look great! I love the baby pics too. I was also told that the suggested weight gain was reduced. They only wanted me to gain 30 with twins and I believe I gained 29.
can you believe you're almost in the third tri? that's great! becky
I love how you made art with his 3D pick..I can never figure out how to look at them cool way to do it... Belly shot looks great..
You look great! And VERY cute pics!

Those are great pics! He's adorable!
Angie-you've gained only 15 lbs? I've gained 25 and I though it was because I was underweight. You were underweight, too, right? now I'm nervous...
You look great!! And I could see the baby's face without your added artwork....lol.
You look great Angie!!!! And I love the pics - your baby looks adorable!!!! I especially like the added colour thanks to paintshop!!! Tee hee!
angie- you look great... nice bathing suit too! you're doing great and what a great shot of your baby's face! 3D u/s is so cool! becky
You look wonderful and your little guy is a cutie.
You look fabulous, your baby is just adorable - you have every reason to be this excited! God bless the two of you!
Oh thank you everyone else too :) I'm just so excited....
I think I've gained 15-16 lbs.
Thanks Cake... I think I'll see what he looks like before I frame it ;)
Cake how are you doing? I looked back on your post and noticed that Indy and other women had much more detailed advice than I could have given you... Great information! But how are you doing with it all now?
You should totally frame that and hang it!!! That's hysterical but also very cool....It's like a piece of art!!! ;0)
that's hilarious! I could totally see it, which is amazing because I can never figure the u/s pics out! You look great by the way!
