"I have officially gained 16 pounds. I&amp;amp;#8217;m not exactly sure how to feel about this. I mean, I&amp;amp;#8217;m five and half months pregnant, I&amp;amp;#8217;m supposed to be gaining weight, right? Still, it&amp;amp;#8217;s a little unsettling to step on the scale and see a number you never thought you&amp;amp;#8217;d see. I&amp;amp;#8217;m up six pounds since my last visit, which is a lot considering my last visit wasn&amp;amp;#8217;t even a month ago. But the doctor didn&amp;amp;#8217;t seem concerned (she did tell me I might want to try more protein and fewer carbs since pregnant women don&amp;amp;#8217;t metabolize carbs so well&amp;amp;#8230;hmm, maybe she was concerned). I don&amp;amp;#8217;t know. I&amp;amp;#8217;m not going to be one of those pregnant women counts calories and tries not to gain an ounce more than recommended&amp;amp;#8212;where&amp;amp;#8217;s the fun in that?&amp;amp;#8212;but I do want to be healthy. I suppose I could cut back on the potato chips and bagels and eat more of those veggies we talked about last week. And start exercising a little more (I mean, start exercising). We&amp;amp;#8217;ll see I guess. Stay tuned&amp;amp;#8230;. &amp;amp;#8212;Erin"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
