A couple of people have asked about weight gain. Well, without revealing actual weight numbers, here's how it has gone so far. The day I found out I was pregnant, which was when I was about 5 to 6 weeks along, I weighed my typical weight. At my 10 week doctor's visit for the first ultrasound, I had lost 4 pounds due to morning sickness. By 14 weeks I had gained 1 whole pound. By our 18 week visit two weeks ago I had gained 3 more, bringing me back up to my pre-pregnancy weight.
Since then (in the last two weeks) my belly has embarked upon a rapid expansion campaign. So, I will be very curious to see what I weigh two weeks from now at our March 24 visit. I haven't really been eating that much more as far as I can tell, so I'm not sure, but my belly sure is getting bigger. People commented at work today that I looked like I had grown over the weekend! (How sweet of them to say.) I don't have a scale at home, so we'll just have to wait and see.

Sam,
Don't worry about the weight gain. A life is growing inside you. Embrace the change. It's not about numbers on the scale, but a happy and healthy baby. Even if you don't "eat anymore than usual" you will have a belly - it's ok! You're pregnant! Enjoy yourself and this change going on within you.
