August 4th
Today I am 16 weeks 3 days pregnant! This morning I wieghed 162.2lbs. Over all this week I havent gained any weight! That will come in handy Im sure in a few weeks or months when I pack on more than a pound or two a week. At this point I am supposed to have a steady gain of about a pound each week. But this is the real world and sometimes that just doesnt happen. With my other two pregnancies right about the 4th month I gained about 20lbs within the span of 4 weeks! This time that will not be happening.
I think I figured out the key to my back ligament pain. Its a stabbing pain when I take a step. It has happened three times and each time it started I was pushing a shopping cart. So I am assuming for now that is what sort of pushed that ligament over the edge. Im going to have to be very careful and limit using a shopping cart. Ive already begun to make fewer trips to the grocerie store, one part trying to budget better and one part dealing less with my kids in a store!
Oh wow I just saw some red wine on TV (I dont like wine) and I have the most incredible craving for grape juice right now. I wonder if I can convince my poor husband to pick some up on his way home.
