Hi Mimi,

It's good to hear that your family is there for you. Now that the morning sickness is improving the weight issue may resolve as well. I know with my second one I lost 8 lbs. but gained it back plus a couple within a month of getting through the nausea.

Aren't ultrasounds great? I hope you were able to get a pic.

When are you due now?

I pretty much agree with Tracey. If you need anything, let us know and we will all do what we can to help.

Hello and welcome to the board!

Congratulations on your pregnancy and on keeping your baby! I know you will see it is the right choice. Actually, I think you have already seen the light! I had my unplanned bundle when I was 35 years old. She will be three years old next month and continues to be the best Christmas presant I have ever received! She is my olnly child. It has been difficult, but we make it.

In regards to the weight, I would not worry about it. I lost weight initially too. A lot actually, I was sick with the morning sickness. You will find as you go along and get into the second trimester, you will feel really good and HUNGRY! I ended up a really healty weight for the baby and for me. Most women do lose weight in the beginning.

As for the father, I would wait it out and not worry about him right now. We as the mother carry and feel the baby and they can not understand that. He might come around, but even if he does not you can do this and he should know that you are firm in your descision.

Good luck and keep us posted!

Lisa
