I'm concerned that I've lost 0.8 lbs. I'm in my 2nd trimester now (13 weeks, 2 days). I feel like I'm eating a ton. However, I have really been focused on eating HEALTHY foods so maybe in terms of actual calories I'm eating less than I once did. I'm going to talk to my doctor at my next appointment about it, if I don't gain anything by then (Feb. 18). He told me I should be gaining about 1/2 a pound per week over the course of the pregnancy, or about 20- 25 lbs total.
My dog was really sick this weekend and had to stay overnight at the animal hospital. She is doing better now. I was really concerned about her. A lot of plans that we had for the weekend got cancelled so we could take care of her (birthday party, tax planning, family dinner). Luckily she is doing much better today. :) Thank GOD the vet offers a 6 month interest free payment option so I can take my time paying it off. As you can imagine, money is very tight for us right now with the wedding coming up in just 5 weeks and 5 days.
Last night we were so exhausted after finally picking Lily up I told Salem to just grab a pizza at the grocery store when he did our other shopping. He forgot, which was a blessing. We made fruit smoothies with liquid egg whites, a banana, OJ, milk, strawberries, some frozen mango I found in the freezer, and a couple of blackberries. Much healthier and delicious too I might add. :)
I'm basically living on Kashi Go Lean for breakfast and snacking on whole foods (mostly fruits) throughout the day. I have to make it all the way til around 10 PM tonight as this is my worst day of the week in terms of class schedule. In at work at 8 AM, off to school at 4 PM, and not done there until 915 PM then home til 10 PM. To get through it I remember what Moose said: "I can do anything for 14 weeks". In fact at this point there's only 12 weeks left. One day at a time. That's the best I can do.
I haven't talked about my friend Rachel lately, the one w/ Stage 4 cervical cancer. She is on her way to Mexico this morning to go to an alternative treatment center for 2 weeks. They are supposed to be amazing. Please keep her in your prayers. :)

Remember fluctuations are normal (even during pregnancy). Some ppl don't gain until the 3rd trimester. Just stay aware of the foods you are eating, which is awesome btw! Good job on the smoothie, there might be something about raw eggs tho. Look it up, maybe its raw whole eggs you shouldn't eat. idk... another thing is make sure to eat Iron. You need that, did you start prenatals and folic acid, iron, what did you dr put you on?

I had several friend who ate a lot of junk that gave up the junk when they were pregnant. 3 did it to eat more healthy for the baby and one did it because she had gestational diabetes and was given a strict diet to follow. All 4 ended up losing weight during their pregnancy. The one who was the most overweight lost a total of 15 lbs from the beginning to the end of the pregnancy. I would discuss your concerns with your doctor as a precation, but as long as you're eating plenty, and healthy, I woudn't think it's a problem.
I hope things go well for your friend and your dog. A lot on your plate right now.

I don't know much about pregnancy but like Cindy said fluctuations are normal, even pregnant your water weight can be different for one day to the next. But it's a good idea to talk to your doc about it. Girl you have a lot on your plate. Please don't do too much your Monday schedule is just crazy... I'm glad your dog is back home now, I saw the pics on FB she is soooo cute! If you have a chance could you ask your friend the name of the center she's going to? I wish her the best there... Take care Chris!
