Which includes mostly all expectations about running and weight gain. I agree with Diana that your candidness is refreshing. After your disclaimer in the beginning, I was prepared for much worse, but I found you to be very positive and thought your outlook on it all (in a nutshell) is very healthy :) I think you and I both should bookmark this and read it when we are pregnant again :) I already have a list of “My next pregnancy will not include…” Which includes mostly all expectations about running and weight gain.

The whole pregnancy weight gain is just overwhelming, everyone has an opionion on what is right for me. I think the key is to let go of the fixation on a number and listen to your body. Oh and welcome to the midwest, home of the casserole:-) I am 29 weeks and also have many of the weight expectations you had so this was great to hear.

I don't have any kids yet, but I sometimes get so concerned about how I will feel about my body during and after a pregnancy. I have enough issues right now as it is. So happy for you that your runs are going well and you're feeling good about where you're at a mere 12 weeks postpartum. You're amazing...a 7:45 tempo run 3 months after having a baby! By the way, while there may be nothing about a Pyrex dish full of noodles and cheese that screams, "healthy," (especially to a SoCal girl) there is nothing more delicious than a good, Midwestern casserole for dinner after spending a few hours out in the cold on a long run. It'll warm you all the way to your bones. :) I really appreciate you being so candid and open about your body image and weight concerns.

I have always been active and kept roughly the same weight since college - I just really have no idea what to expect! Your post helped understand some of that. Everyone keeps saying, "Oh, with you it'll drop right off." But they're not me :) You have the right approach - eat healthy, get back into the training - love it!

I'm 11 days away from inducement, and I read your blog regularly over the last few months and your number crunching was amazing. My only track is my weight at each doctor's appointment, and I, too, have dreams of what I will look like post-delivery. I haven't been able to run, swim or lift weights the last 5 weeks unfortunately due to modified bed rest, so my worries are even more compounded now! For motivation, I'm trying to plan my 2010 race schedule! Thanks for sharing!

We can so relate. Who ever uses a baby robe? When? Ha ha. Love the picture. We used the baby tub (we have a pretty cheap baby tub that they lay down in) until he was 9 months. He could sit up at 6 months, but the baby tub was so much easier! At 9 months he started in the big tub and started playing with toys. I am totally laughing. We can so relate.
