New Stats.

Well, I am feeling a bit better after taking my stats. Not much change in the non-pregnancy measurements. I have read that the judge of your weight increase and it's appropriateness is by your thigh and arm #'s which only change with long term stored fat changes. I have been on very strict bed rest for 12 weeks now and know that I am de-compensating very badly. Also, I have another 6-8 weeks of laying at less than a 45 degree angle yet to go. Then childbirth and recovery. I know that I will come back eventually (I did with my oldest and her similar pregnancy) but it's still hard not to focus on how much work is lost by doing nothing. I am a women who gains and looses 40-50LBS with pregnancy normally and so the current increase seems on track. Here's hoping I am not getting too far off track (well not any farther than absolutely necessary anyway.) However with 10 weeks left to go I see that 300LB mark as terrifyingly close. Sigh. I keep thinking of March and my new workout/ walking partner. That helps to keep me positive. :)
