I had the best dr's appt today! I am 18 weeks 3 days and have gained NOTHING the entire pregnancy. I am so excited!!!! I am showing and have been for a while. The doc said my stomach is measuring at 18 weeks so that is fine. She also said the heartbeat sounds "boyish" since it was only 135. I have an ultrasound on Thursday so we will see if she is right!!!! I just had to share my good news!!! ↓

HAHHAH....Jess you're like me. I didn't start gaining until just recently...only 4 lbs since the beginning and i am in my 23rd week now. Everyone is different but as long as your baby is measuring ok you're good! My belly is getting bigger by the day...sooooo weird! Yet so exciting! lol. ↑

Yes, I hope my good luck continues!! I try to walk around my neighborhood (its about a mile) at least 3 times a week, usually I try to do 4 or 5. I either push my daughter in her stroller after dinner, or sometimes I wait until 9pm after she is in bed (its cooler then) and I listen to my ipod and walk. What does everyone else do for excercise. ↑
