March 25th

So, I had my monthly checkup today and the doctor told me she was just going to keep my due date July 11th, instead of changing it to the 4th. She also told me I had gained 8 pounds since my last weigh-in, I now weigh 150 pounds. That's 20 pounds I've gained so far. I don't know how I gained so much. My stomach is barely showing compared to the rest of the women on here! I'm supposed to 'watch my diet'. I barely eat any junk food. What am I supposed to do, starve myself? I feel like crap. I'm so stressed out. I know this is going to get me everyday and I'm going to worry about what I eat all the time. I think they're too hard on us pregnant women. :(

At about 20 weeks(it's only a little bigger now)

March 4th

I had my ultrasound today and everything looks great. Plus, it's a girl! It's funny because I was sure I was going to have a boy. I had a dream about the baby the night before and in my dream it was a boy. Boys run in my family. I'm the only girl and I have four brothers. I wouldn't have cared what the sex was. It doesn't really matter to me. My husband's happy too, but there's no hiding that he's a little disappointed. I hope he gets over it. The ultasound tech. told me that she believes I'm actually 22 weeks 4 days pregnant, and not 21 weeks 4 days. That puts my due date right around the 4th of July. Go figure.
