Not understanding!

Doesn't it make since that when you are pregnant you gain weight?  That's what I've always thought.  Well, not that I'm complaining, but we went back to the doctor for an ultrasound/routine check up and the nurse took my weight and said that I've dropped ANOTHER 3 pounds.  No complaints at all.  I just KNEW I was going to gain weight b/c while I was in Galveston for spring break all I did was eat!!!!  I think I'm more concerned that my not gaining weight will effect Ashlynne (her name is now a done deal).  I've read that not gaining enough weight can lead to babies who are small for gestational age, pre-term labor....  none of which I want.   I spoke with my mom who reassured me that I was fine and that I still have 3 1/2 more months to go so I may gain a little.  She thinks I will just be one of those who doesn't gain a lot of weight during pregnancy.  The thing is....my stomach is getting bigger and bigger so I assumed the numbers on the scale would to.  My mom said that when she was pregnant with TWINS it was the same way for her.  

I went bowling last night and I think I'm paying for it today.  My stomach feels really tight and I have a little bit of pain in my pelvis area...but this could also be Braxton Hicks contractions too... I don't know.  Just my speculations!

I will post the sonogram pic that shows it's a girl when I get to a scanner. 

I just need to find a middle name for Ashlynne.

A lot of this is now becoming so real.  I've started getting baby clothes and gifts, started a registry at Target and Babies r Us.  We even have diapers and onsies!  In about 3 months Ashlynne Williams will be here!
