Yes, if I can keep my gain to 15lbs or very close to it, I'll be very chuffed with myself.So, the goal is to have my low weight be 222.5 by the end of the 26th week.
You are a very determined lady and I for one have every faith in your ability to do this.

Steve, Val and Margaret--Thanks for the kudos. We'll see how the next 25 weeks go..lol.
Well, I signed up for a breastfeeding class today. It's in January. David has to come with me. He's gonna be sooo thrilled. NOT!
Will sign up for a comprehensive childbirth class after I discuss date/times with him. I also think I found a midwife (actually there are 3 who work together). They take my insurance, deliver in the hospital I want, and have great OBs for backup if needed. 
I'll call in a few weeks to schedule an appt.

Amy--Thanks!
Margaret--I told him yesterday that at least the class will involve one of his favorite things--boobs. Maybe he'll even get to see some besides mine. 
Well, I started painting our bedroom today, and when I was about 3/4 finished with the first coat, I realized that it doesn't go with the color that the rest of the condo is painted.
However, it would look really great in a nursery. It's a light apple green. So I'll keep the paint that's left (about 3/4 gallon) and use it in the baby's nursery b/c it'll look really cool for either boy or girl. So now I have to get an earth tone--a mossy green and repaint it tomorrow.
What's up with all these words being underlined in green with links to ads when you click on the word?? WLF trying to get more advertising?? I find it annoying as hell.

I have been noticing all the stupid links everywhere too. They often seem to be going to all sorts of wierd adverts.
Sorry that you have been stuck with repainting an area that you had done. It is good that the rest of the paint will not be wasted - but a shame that you have to paint out something that you have just done.
I am sure that David will take the boobs opportunity well. My boobs are currently so awkward (in size / shape) that I have to get Rod to help me put my bra on every morning (bundling them up and getting it fastened has turned into a two person job - note how careful I was to not say a two man job as that would just cause scandal for no good reason). Anyway - Rod takes all this in good grace and makes comments on how they have long held his attention. We have both been wise enough to marry sensitive supportive men and they will look after us as best they can.

That breast reduction can't come soon enough, eh?
Val--Picked out a new green today..lol. Didn't have time to paint any and see how it looks, but I think it'll be okay. I love greens, too. I find green soothing and reminds me of nature.

Just though I'd list my recent weight/exercise.
Had some pretty good Thai food for lunch today, and was very naughty by eating an entire pint of Ben & Jerry's Everything But The... ice cream. It was really good. 1,200 calories in that pint. At least I got to the gym..haha. I had a very emotional afternoon and morning. First I had to be to the office early this morning and the work I had to do took ages and our computer system was giving me shit, irritating me. Then afternoon came and all hell broke loose with my emotions... I am normally easily irritated and short-tempered, but this pregnancy is making me way worse. I have no patience whatsoever and little things seem like major things. Now I understand why Dawn said she turned psycho..lol. I felt a bit psycho today myself. 
So here's the ridiculous story:
**WARNING TO ALL MEN WHO DON'T LIKE TO READ ABOUT FEMALE TROUBLES--DON'T READ THIS**
So I've got this yeast infection. Why are pregnant women more susceptable to these sort of things? It seems like we are more likely to be plagued by crap and then not supposed to take much for it b/c it could harm the baby. The OB said I was kinda yeasty at my last check up and asked if I wanted anything. It wasn't bothering me at the time, so I said it wasn't necessary. Well, now it's bugging me..lol. So all weekend I was waiting until Monday so I could call the doc and get a prescription called in for some Diflucan (the pill you take orally so no mess with the stupid creams). So I went to the pharmacy today to pick it up, but they gave me a stupid 3 day cream instead. I don't want a cream because they are messy, and b/c I pee all the time, it'll all come back out within an hour of putting it in..lol Taking a pill by mouth once is sooo much easier. So when I saw they called in the cream, I was pissed as hell and told the pharmacist that wasn't what I wanted and I didn't even want to take it b/c I needed to talk to my doc. So I was in the store just furious--practically in a murderous rage. 
I just wanted to take the fucking pill and get rid of this. But now I'd have to wait even longer. So I drove home (still in a raging fury) and called the doc. They had to look at my chart and call me back. While waiting, I had to pee (of course), so I took my cell phone with me into the bathroom b/c I didn't want to miss her call. Of course she called me back as soon as I sat down..lmao. The nurse said they don't like to give Diflucan to pregnant women b/c it could harm the baby. Uuuugggghhhh...it was all I could do to remain civil and not bite the poor woman's head off. She is going to discuss it with someone else tomorrow and get back to me. As soon as I hung up, I burst into tears. So there I was sitting on the toilet bawling my eyes out over stupid yeast infection medicine. It took ages to collect myself, and I decided to head to the gym to vent my raging fury..lmao. So after all that drama, I decided I was going to enjoy my Ben & Jerry's lol.
So now you all probably think I'm a nut job (if you didn't think that already..)...

Hi, I'm a newcomer to your diary, but we seem to have made some of the same friends on here, so I'm saying hi
HI!BTW, you're not a nut job. You're just pregnant. It goes with the territory. And all of us husbands out there? We know we're just along for the rollercoaster ride - and we love y'all anyway

Hi there, thanks for stopping by. Luckily my husband was not around to witness the melodrama..lol. I'm tellin' ya--these crazy hormones are something else.
I'm usually pretty stable, but lately it's been nuts. I cry at the drop of a hat--or get irate and then cry.

The thing is, we all get to laugh afterwards about it... Whether it is emotional stuff or cravings...
One day my wife was talking about how much she she wanted to have something with blueberries in it. She was pregnant with my eldest at the time. I'm a nice guy, figured I'd stop on the way home at this nice little ice cream stand and get her some blueberry cheescake ice cream. When I got home she was making a blueberry batter cake, but took the ice cream anyway. Okay, now here is the part I didn't know. This was apparently the second batch of batter, because she ate most of the first one raw (yuck).
I found this out about midnight when she suddenly sat up in bed and got sick... yup you guessed it, all over me!!

Sorry that you are being irritated - both physically and emotionally. I dont blame you for hitting the ice cream.
I cannot speak about the pregnancy stuff - but I do know all about hormones and emotions and I swear that walking helps. I think that it is something to do with the rhythmic pounding and the opportunity to think. I know that there was that business with the rapist - but if you can find somewhere to get a good walk in it might help things so much.
I hope that all your irritations clear up soon.
You are right - that boob job can not come quickly enough for me. There is something highly irritating about needing help to get dressed when you are 49 years of age. As a toddler or ancient person you can tell yourself that it is par for the course - it is just plain silly at 49!!!

HeeHeeHee the joys of pregnancy.I beleive there are two types of pregnant woman.Those athat are ccute and bubbly and glowing, that are seem and are so natural and thise of us whom struggle through it so to speak.Iwas never a happy go lucky pregnant person(bet ya could have guessed htatI hated my first pregnancy, I assumed it was cuz I was single and 15 but nope, i was 26 and in a relatonship my past pregnancy and still hated it, hated it more lol and it wasnt a very pleasent pregnancy either.I think it is a good thing we forget most of it or at least the labour and birth part of it or our population of choldren would be very low, LOL.
So what you had ice cream, your preggo and your emotions are all to shit and such.It sucks, most of us know that, LOL...
Ha - My ex left me cuz, he expected the second that I had the baby that I would just switch back to my old original self...like seriously right away he expected this change in me...idiot!It takes awhile for everythign to get backl to normal as well after having a baby.
I found walking always helped me.When I was stressed or mad ir had alot on my plate or mind...I think walking is healing...theraputic to a point.Maybe you should try to fit it in somewhere , give it a try and see if youstart feeling a bit better...

Sorry your wife threw up all over you!
What a nice husband. I haven't had out of control cravings--some odd ones, but nothing where I ate so much of something it made me sick. I've been very fortunate in not having any bad morning sickness, either.You're right--I AM laughing about it now. I was even kind of laughing about it yesterday while I was sitting on the toilet sobbing..lol. I was sitting there crying thinking, "This is all quite comical when you think about it. You're sitting here on the toilet crying your eyes out b/c your doc didn't give you the kind of medicine you want."

I did go for a walk on Monday, and I also hit the gym yesterday and felt so much better afterwards. I didn't feel like going at all, but made myself and am glad I did. God knows I can use all the endorphins I can get.
I can imagine that it would be annoying to need help getting dressed.
