Blood pressure is good, baby’s heart rate is good, my blood sugar has stabilized on medication, and I’m weighing in at 198.5. Looks like the weight gain has FINALLY slowed, which is good. I had been gaining 2 pounds a week or more, so just over a pound per week looks pretty good to me.  I’m not vain about it (and my wise and wonderful Grandmother once said “people worry now too much about things that are not important- like getting fat when you have a baby,” which was great advice) but it is hard work carrying all this extra weight around!
