Yesterday, I had to go in for my glucose testing...which came back normal

Ugh that stuff is still horrible to drink! The dr. said everything looked fine and I've put on another 4 lbs. for a grand total of 7 lbs. I don't think I'm going to make my goal of staying under 180..as I made a mistake in another post elsewhere on here saying that...I'm at 185 now :lol:

I don't know what I was thinking (I was already at 181) :oops:

maybe it was just wishful thinking I wasn't so big :lol:

New goal is 190 but I'll most likely go over that too :lol:

When I checked out the lady told me that my next appointment would be in 4 weeks then after that they'd start seeing me every two weeks

I was thinking it wouldn't be that way til later in the pregnancy like around 36 weeks

How is it where you guys are?

That's awesome Amy, glad it came back normal!! My glucose test is next Friday. Here they don't start seeing you every 2 weeks until 32 weeks, then at 36 it's weekly.

So yeah, that sounds super early to me.

I hear you on the weight gain, I had a goal of not over 150 (don't you say a word, remember I'm 5' 3", you're much taller than I am!!), but I'm feeling confident that even if I go over I'll work hard enough to lose it anyway...this pregnancy has made me do nothing but want to lose weight again. :lol:

Let's hope I still have that spirit when this kids out and the work is supposed to begin! :lol:

i dont even remember when i started to go every 2 wks and then weekly...its been too long..lol

Nikki, you know me well...I'm still gonna say "geez wish I were 150!" :lol:

Good luck with your glucose testing!

We'll have to motivate each other during the weight loss once our babies get here

I thought it was a bit early...maybe that lady didn't know what she was talking about :lol:

Thanks babe :wink:

Amy you definitely don't look like your in the 180s!!! Where the heck are you hiding your weight?!! You're pretty tall though right? That has to be it!
Here we start going every 2 weeks at 30 or 32 weeks and then weekly at 36 weeks. Glad your glucose test came back okay!

I'm anxious for Nikki's glucose test this time around, hopefully no diabetes this time!

Nikki · **Posted:** Sat Jul 17, 2010 11:19 pm

Amy, I knew you would! But you have to remember what someone who's barely 5'3" looks like at 150lbs! :lol:

Plus I carry my weight in my mid-section mostly, not very flattering, lol! Didn't you say you're nearly 6 feet tall? I can't remember now. :lol:

Cole the dr seems confident I won't have it this time, so lets hope!

Guess we'll see in a week!

Amy2799 · **Posted:** Sun Jul 18, 2010 6:08 am

Cole I have those luscious cottage cheese thighs for one :lol:

and the nice flappy arms too...shall I go on? :lol:

Yes, I'm 6 feet tall..the dr told me that I should be able to get away with gaining some. While I was pg with Macy..stupid np told me that since I was on the heavy side of height/weight ratio (I was only at 168 then) that I should only gain 10-15 lbs :evil:

bitch..I think that's why I put on around 40 :lol:

This time I was 10 lbs heavier and they didn't say anything

LOL on a side note, Nikki...I forgot about how tall(short hehe j/k) you are...when Josh was at the dr. a few weeks ago, he measured 5'7" and weighed 117 lbs. He's really hit a growing spurt in the last year!

lorna · **Posted:** Sun Jul 18, 2010 4:33 pm

im 5ft 3 at 119lbs but that was my last visit x

back_again · **Posted:** Sun Jul 18, 2010 6:44 pm

oh shut up lorna. I use to be 5'2 and 110-115. Now im 145. hope i can still keep losing it.

ayprull · **Posted:** Mon Jul 19, 2010 1:59 am

They had me start going every two weeks after my glucose appt too this time. I thought it was strange. I wonder if they're starting to change things?

cole1211 · **Posted:** Mon Jul 19, 2010 7:56 pm

Aww lorna I didn't realize you were 5'3" too like nikki

Amy2799 · **Posted:** Mon Jul 19, 2010 8:22 pm

April..they must be in certain dr groups. I was surprised that in alot of the online reading I've done, it's actually recommended to exercise while pregnant. Before, it was don't start a routine if you didn't previously work-out. I've read that exercising (safely!) during pregnancy is supposed to aid in losing weight afterward and promotes an easier labor. LOL I don't have enough energy right now though :lol:

Nikki · **Posted:** Tue Jul 20, 2010 2:35 am

Yes, I'm super short! :lol:

I can't believe how tall Josh is!! :shock:

WOW!

Lorna, I didn't realize you were my height! I can't believe you're still 119 lbs!!! :shock:

LUCKY! LOL! I'm sure I'll hit 140 by the time my next apt comes around. :lol:

How much did you weigh pre-pregnancy? I was 114, but the same thing happened with Grayson as this time; it seems like in the beginning I gain weight like crazy and then slow down at the end.

Opposite of what should happen, but that's what seems to be happening yet again!

I sure hope it stays slow anyway! :lol:

Either way, I am workin my BUTT off after this kid, I've been joking that I'm giving myself til my 6 week checkup to be back in the 115-120 range. :lol:

Thing is I am only half joking...this pregnancy has made me insane as far as how I look. For some reason I'm just not handling it well this time.

Maybe it's because this one was completely unexpected.
