I probably wouldn't post these picture because they're so embarrassing, but I need to look back on them for future pregnancies:
Preggo with Fox: 7 weeks and 39 weeks
I started at 120 pounds and weighed 176 at the end. I gained 56 pounds.

Preggo with Jane: 6 weeks and 38 weeks
I started at 130 pounds and currently weigh 182. I've gained 52 pounds, but really 62 since I want to be back at 120.

Why oh why do I gain so much weight when I'm pregnant? I've honestly tried eating better this time. I've only made one batch of brownies instead of dozens and I've been chasing a toddler around the entire time. Hopefully I'll be able to lose the weight pretty fast like I was able to with Fox - but it wasn't easy! I was on Weight Watchers and exercised regularly.
Here's to hoping breastfeeding is my best friend and that Lean Cuisine meals fill me up!

Oh Paige! The joys of Pregnancy. Maybe it's just how your body is, you're so skinny all the time, you can gain a few pounds while pregnant and be ok :)
ReplyDeleteI think you are still absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBecause you're pregnant! Your body is holding on to nutrients to be sure it can nourish your baby Jane even if you suddenly get hit by a famine!! You look beautiful and healthy. Don't worry, the weight will come off if you exercise some and eat healthy. And breastfeeding definitely helps!!
ReplyDeleteyou are crazy girl!! you look great, you are all baby, maybe it's extra amniotic fluid, that happened to me with my first, started at 150, was 220 at the end and when my water broke, I swear I lost 20 pounds...so much fluid! lol...can't wait to see little Jane on here. :)
ReplyDeletethat comment above was from me, Laurie, got mixed up with my daughter's account, ha!
ReplyDeleteyou look gorgeous!!! It's so hard to see that when you're the one gaining the pounds, but trust me you do!
ReplyDeleteI think that your hair looks really pretty straightened! And the pounds will melt off while you are nursing.
ReplyDeleteI saw 180 during my pregnancy. Trust, me, I feel you. The kiddos make it all worth it. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteYou look beautiful at any weight! waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing!!! I think you are carrying differently with Jan than you did with Fox. I was 184 with both of my kids (although I DIDNT start at 120!!!) I have to say I have had to work harder after the 2nd one to get the weight off....slow but sure....
ReplyDeleteYou are such a beautiful mother. Slimming down after pregnancy is not easy, but we know you can do it. More before-and-afters!

I think you look(ed) beautiful during both pregnancies!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI try not to read the comments left by others--I don't want you to think I'm nosey!! But I had to read what Chris wrote--and I literally have tears in my eyes! He is an amazing husband! SO SWEET:)
ReplyDeleteI agree--I think you look beautiful! <3 <3 <3
You look great pregnant! and not pregnant too. No need to worry!
ReplyDeleteYou look so pretty!! Don't dwell on your preggo weight...I'm sure it will come off. Even if it doesn't you still look fantastic.
ReplyDeleteAs soon as saw this title it made me laugh! Funny :) you really DO NOT look like you weigh 182. you look amazing. And I'm not just saying that to be nice girl. you really look great!
ReplyDeletewith each of my pregnancies (4) I seem to keep on about an average of 10 lbs. BOO, thats quite alot from when we got married. We would like another baby and I'm scared of the weight! lol I always breastfeed but don't exercise....
You are GLOWING. You're gorgeous. Don't even think twice of the #. I did exactly what you did & lost it FAST. You will too! BUT to me, you look like you have NOTHING but that sweet baby girl bump there!
ReplyDeleteYou look so pretty! And I love your top :) just remember it's just a number!
ReplyDeleteI think you look great! I think also think that you gain because you are so naturally thin that your body is trying to give you a little more padding and nutrients for the baby. Honestly, I'd rather be naturally thin like you and gain some weight than be plus sized like me and not gain weight with pregnancies. You don't look big AT ALL, you just look all baby belly! :)
ReplyDeleteI think you look WONDERFUL!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the last few days! Hugs, Karin
i am absolutely floored that you've gained that much because your pictures do not tell the same story at all! i think you should have posted the before and have pictures and weights for fox and then just posted pictures for jane and had us guess the weights. you look super cute and you make me excited for a bigger bump!
ReplyDeleteyou look sooo adorable!!! I totally wouldn't worry!!! gotta love pregnancy.. LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteI was about 120 with Edward in the beginning and gained about the same as you. But the great thing about nursing was that all the pounds fell off!
ReplyDeleteYou are beautiful! It is fun to see these comparison photos. Take it easy on yourself about the weight. It will all work out :) Wishing you all the best for baby Jane's arrival!
ReplyDeleteYou're adorable no matter what! And such a snazzy taste in clothes! Cute!!

ReplyDeleteOh, what a sweetheart! I just saw what you're hubby wrote. You'd better hang on to that one, girl! But I have to agree! Pregnancy may make us a bit miserable and depressed with all the weight gain and anticipation, but hang in there, it'll all be worth it soon enough. Sending you hugs! Run to the window and catch them!
ReplyDeletei think you look absolutely fabulous no matter what weight you are or want to be! you have that amazing glow in all your pictures. :)
ReplyDeleteI love your striped shirt at 38 weeks. Where did you get it?
ReplyDeleteYour pregnancy weights are my goal LOL, and I too gained 60 with my last child... what do you do right? Can't wait to see that little girl!
