Weight Gain

Over the last few weeks I have become growingly concerned about the amount of weight I will be gaining over the coming months. Despite what I hear, I am not eating for two. As of now, the baby is .52 cm (that's centimeters, not inches) long - just smaller than a grain of rice. Any mammal smaller than a grain of rice does not need its own meal. I am proud to say that six weeks into pregnancy, I am eating much healthier than I ever have before. I have put on a whopping 1.6 pounds. Having seen this, I feel much better about the decisions I've made with my food and exercise. And now with the good habits I feel I've established, I'm less worried that I'll actually become as big as a boat.
