Unexpectedly

[jordanna]

Those of you who are familar with my weight struggles since 2002, when I developed gasteroparesis, will find this amusing: I am topping the weight gain charts for pregnancy. After dropping to 112 before our wedding, it took me 3 1/2 years to consistently weigh in at 125 or slightly above (prior to starting martial arts I was 128, after 6 months of training I was 136 and my clothes fit the same). So far in the sorlet saga we have:
7 weeks - 125
12 weeks - 130
17 weeks - 136.5
One site I read recommended a weight gain of 11-14 pounds by the end of the 2nd trimester. I am at 11.5, and the second trimester isn't over for another 8 weeks! Tyson is doing a jig of joy, as his greatest fear of breeding with me was that I would gain a total of 10 pounds and squeeze out a sickly 3 pound baby.
