Newsflash: I'm not fat, I'm pregnant

[_dollybird]

So, after Hawaii, Jon and I announced to our parents that we're married, and have been since June 2007. It was a stressful belated "honeymoon" and we were both sooo glad to be home. And found out some very unexpected news Weds April 10th.....Two positive home pregnancy tests later, we were in shock. While we wanted kids....we weren't planning on

you'll be fine, dude.

i got WICKED fat with amelia and i lost all the weight...
of course, not i'm getting fat again though HAHA

i started at like, 135ish (i'd JUST lost 20lbs too...) and the day i had her, i was ONE HUNDRED AND NINTEY SIX POUNDS.
"they" say you're only supposed to gain 35 pounds. "they" are retards. HAHA
its frickin' impossible to stop eating some days.

HOWEVER... its VERY important to cut back on sodas and non-water beverages and try to stay active. get up and do some excercise (i walk amelia) for at least 10-20 minutes every day. and really, that's not to keep you from getting fat, its to keep you from getting preeclampsia, which is a shitty thing to have. i got it with amelia and now i have to be super careful. it makes you swell up like a balloon and skyrockets your blood pressure. :(

BOTTOM LINE: you'll be okay! i can't wait to make our babies fight in a cage match! :)

haha. yeah. im just so not motivated to exercise alone, and cant afford a gym. im gonna go get some baby pilates/baby yoga dvds though so i can at least do that at home. id go for a walk...but not alone after work in the area that i live in!

OH! ALSO!
take full advantage of the fact that you can still do ground exercises like crunches and sit ups. after the 1st trimester, you can't do those anymore without one of those giant exercise balls. and don't assume the ball makes it easier. it actually makes it harder! haha
