So I had my appt today. Nothing new to really report. Baby's heartbeat was a strong 155 bmp. Got to hear it nice and clear I was upset to find that I have in fact gained 20lbs since I got my bfp less than 3 months ago. My doctor and DH were trying to make me feel better about it because I have quit smoking and that always makes me eat more. At least the doctor wasn't concerned about the weight gain (just me!).
I also scheduled my gender/anatomy ultrasound for July 31 at 10:30 am. I will be 19w2d at that point. I am so excited!!!

glad it went well! and don't worry about the weight...your body will do what it needs to do; having a healthy baby is what counts

I gained 42lbs so dont worry too much (i´ve just got 5 left to loose now)
Any thoughts on pink or blue? July 31st is just round the corner!!

Oh that's so exciting!!! Don't worry about the weight gain. I know it's hard, but every person is different and I truly believe your body will do what it needs to do. I didn't go crazy with food and didn't really eat different than before my BFP and I gained 45lbs. Now 2 weeks after delivery I'm already down 23lbs without working out or really even watching what I'm eating. I know it's hard to gain weight, that was THE hardest part of the pregnancy for me and still is!!! Hang in there - it's best for your little one!!

Gwen gave some great advice. Your body does what it needs to to make that LO strong and healthy. July 31st will be here before you know it!

Thank you all so much for your kind words. I am doing my best not to let the weight gain bother me... I am much happier to quit smoking and be healthy for my little baby. I am very excited for the gender u/s so I know that the next time I step on that scale at the doctor's office, my weight will NOT be occupying my thoughts!
