If you have been reading my blog then you know that I haven't been gaining a whole lot of weight this pregnancy. At first I wasn't too concern because I am a small person and never have struggled with my weight. Most people congratulate me and call me lucky, but some people give me a judgmental look. I am so tired of explaining to people that I am eating and not starving my baby or myself. I have learned that eating several small meals a day is easier for me than eating three large meals. I am not a health freak or live in the gym so keeping my figure isn't one of my top priorities so trust me when I say I don't mind devouring a bowl of ice cream every night!
Just to make sure Janie Beth is growing like she is supposed to my doctor scheduled us a growth scan. I was immediately excited because that meant we get to see our baby girl again and it has been 6 weeks since we have seen her! Turns out I am not starving her or myself! She weighed 5 pounds and 10 ounces and is in the 50th percentile for 34 week baby's! The doctor is not concerned about my weight or Janie Beth gaining weight. His words were "keep doing what you are doing!" YOU GOT IT DOC :)
God is good all the time and all the time God is good!
Since I am 34 weeks she is very squished and she kept her hands by her face so the tech couldn't get the best pictures! Is it July 24th yet?
