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

I kept a few saltine crackers next to my bed. When I'd wake in the morning, even before getting out of bed (had to be careful for crumbs;-) I'd eat a couple of them. That helped a bit. Also, don't take your prenatal vitamins on a empty stomach - that can really make you nauseous (even withOUT morning sickness interfering ;-)
