Twelve Pounds.

This...

 Is what TWELVE pounds EXTRA looks like on Kyla!

Today I went to see the wonderful girls at Dr. J's office (he was out of town so I had just a quick appointment for the usual tests and everything looks great.) Got to hear the baby's little heartbeat, which is beating at a rapid speed of 138 bpm and it is still such an amazing little sound (not as cool as getting to see him in an ultrasound, but still wonderful). My sister, Aubrey, got to go with me and it was so fun to have her there. 

The last appointment I was weighed at was my eighteen week appointment, 6 weeks ago and I had gone down two pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight. So, naturally, I was expecting to have gained some weight since the baby has grown a lot during that time and my belly is finally popping.

I stepped on the scale and the sweet nurse said that looks great. We sat down and I asked her, "am I gaining weight OK?" (Concerned that I had lost weight at my last weigh in). The nurse, sweetly smiled and said, "Oh yes, You've gained about 12 pounds."

Did I hear her correctly? TWELVE POUNDS!!! That has to be a record for pregnancy weight gain in 6 weeks!

I felt embarrassed as she explained it's a little more than a usual 6 week period for how far along I am, however she assured me that since I had been losing weight up until my 18 weeks appointment that I was just fine and at a very healthy weight gain point.

Twelve pounds! The words are still ringing in my ears! I called Kevin on the way home to make sure he would still love me with all this extra "kyla". He does! Lucky Me.

Plan for the rest of the night... GYM! 

Hope you all had a lovely day readers!
