23 Weeks

On May 14th, I hit the 23 week mark. I still weigh 145.8 so I haven't gained any weight since last week. (I am still up 21.8 pounds). I had some cramping one morning this week and had to lay in bed for a while drinking water. As soon as I did that they thankfully went away. It was a really stressful week at work, so I'm assuming that is why I had the cramping. I also got a call from my health insurance to go over some pre-natal program they had. While giving the guy all my information including my pre-pregnancy weight and my current weight, I finally realized how much weight I've gained. For some reason I thought my pre-pregnancy weight was higher than it was so when I looked it up and it hit me that I have gained almost 22 pounds already I kind of freaked out! I only gained 27 pounds my entire pregnancy with Hudson and I am already almost there this time with 17 weeks to go! Not just 17 weeks to go, but 17 of the biggest weight gain weeks to go!! Yikes! My only saving grace is that a weighed a lot less to start off with this time. In fact, even with the 21 pound weight gain, I still weigh less than I did before I got pregnant with Hudson. It still crazy to hear such large numbers when talking about weight gain though!
