Okay, if I can stay around 127 my entire first trimester then I will be happy!! That is 10 pounds less than I was a year ago. That means that I will be starting this pregnancy at a lower weight than my other two. My obgyn sees me on March 10th and at that time she will write down my official starting pregnancy weight :) She always checks my previous pregnancy starting weights to compare numbers. My starting weight with my first son was 141 and starting weight for my second son was 131. Now my starting weight will probably be 128 with all of my clothes on so I happy that I get smaller after each baby :) It must be that great HCG in my system!! I am now eating 800-1,000 calories and feeling great. I have been fighting a cold so I feel very tired today and almost called in sick to work but I need to build up my sick days for my maternity leave in Nov. I plan on being off from Nov. until Jan. 3rd, the day we come back from Christmas Break. My school is moving over the Christmas Break so when I come back to work, I will be in a new building!!
I am happily married, a teacher, and have two sons and I am currently expecting my third child. After having two c-sections, I am in my normal weight range but at the high end. So far, I have lost almost 10 pounds on the HCG diet and plan on eating healthy throughout my pregnancy.

I had a great breakfast yesterday. A bite of a cinnamon roll, some angel food cake with strawberries and cool whip, a piece of banana bread, and some fresh fruit. It was delicious! I ate well the rest of the day. I went to KFC and had a grilled chicken wing and some green beans. For dinner, I ate the grilled chicken breast and some green beans. I had a wheat tortilla as a snack and some melba toast as a snack. I wasn't very hungry so I went to bed early. Today I am eating the same things except my own grilled chicken and a steak for dinner. My doctor said to continue to eat like this because it is healthy for the baby :) Veggies and protein!

Today I am 4 weeks 5 days (4w5d) pregnant!! Okay, I tested again (it is just money, right??) and I still have the dark positive line on my pregnancy tests. I am so excited that it has finally happened again! Yesterday, I ate a Kashi bar again for breakfast. For lunch, I did my skillet butternut squash. It is so good! The batter is two eggs, a little bit of milk, two tablespoons of flour, and some salt. You cut the squash into 1/4 inch slices and then dip it into the batter and put it in the skillet until it is golden brown. The batter makes almost like a pancake coating and it is delicious! I ate my chicken breast with it. For dinner, I had steak and cabbage, my favorite!! Today I am going to try to eat good because I brought a bunch of baked goods to our Social Workers Appreciation brunch and so did everyone else. There is so much food!! Wish me luck!
Update: Went to the doctor today and blood work looks great. HCG levels nice and high, possibly twins, but we will wait and see. I am just praying for a healthy baby!! My weight with all of my clothes on at the doctor's was 126, so that was nice. I am still 127.6 at home! My doctor said that I can continue eating the way that I am eating with lots of veggies and protein. She said protein is the most important thing for the baby :)

Okay, so I am now 4 weeks 4 days pregnant (4w4d)and so excited. Today is my third day of not taking my hcg injection. I did another pregnancy test, and my positive line was even darker than two days ago. On Friday, I had a faint positive line. When you are pregnant, hcg is supposed to double every two days and make the line even darker. So today, I did another pregnancy test (same brand) and the positive line was much darker. Yes!! I felt bad at first because some of the people on the HCG forums thought the hcg was giving me the positive line but all of my tests were negative until the day of my missed period and now that the line is getting even darker even though I am three days off of the shots, I am feeling great about it! I have had some morning sickness this morning. I was up 1 pound this morning and I don't know why. I did the three days after my last shot of low calories and yesterday I was so sick to my stomach that I didn't eat very much. However, I didn't drink enough water so I am hitting it hard today. For breakfast, I had a Kashi bar and then for lunch I am going to have skillet squash that I made and a 3 oz steak. I am so unsure of what to eat today? Do I eat cheese? I may grab a cheesestick and eat my chicken and salsa tonight!

Okay, so I am still in shock that I am finally pregnant again! We have been trying over a year to have our third child! I wonder if the hcg helped? The first month that I start the hcg diet, I am pregnant!! I am still losing weight though and have lost 1.2 pounds since finding out I was pregnant. Today I am at my lowest weight again of 126.8. I ate around 850 calories yesterday and stopped my shots yesterday. If feels wierd not to go in the fridge and get my hcg shot but I know my body is making its own hcg. The first trimester, it said that pregnant women burn an extra 300 calories and should not gain weight. I never usually gain weight in the first trimester and now it looks like I am losing. I am still taking my prenatal vitamin. Yesterday, I ate my Kashi Double Chocolate Cherry bar for breakfast and had cabbage and grilled chicken breasts with salsa for lunch. For dinner, I took my boys to Chick-fil-a and I had their Chargrilled Chicken with Fruit Salad with no dressing but I did add the granola. I am always down when I eat fruit and chicken salads!! I was the same way with the one at Panera!! I am up early because we are going to look at a basement home today and my DH is already shopping for bunk beds for the boys. I hope they like sharing a room!!

VLCD Day 25
Weight: 127 pounds (-1.0)
I was down a pound today! I am so excited. 127 sounds so much better than my higher weight of 135. I feel better and my clothes are actually lose now so maybe I will be in size 4's at every store and not just the Tommy Hilfiger outlet!! My size 6's are falling off. Yesterday, I ate a Kashi bar double chocolate coconut and it was delicious!! For lunch I had a grilled chicken breast and some fajita chicken meat so I had about 6 ounces of chicken. I went over because I am not supposed to eat more than 4 ounces. Oh well, at least it was protein!! For dinner, I had a 3 oz steak and some broccoli and it was delicious. All of that and I was down a pound!
HOWEVER, I am going to have to take a break from the hcg diet. I hate it because I have lost so much weight but I am now making my own hcg :) I am expecting, no wonder I am losing so much!! Wish me luck and I hope that my pregnancy is healthy. I am going to keep this blog updated now with my pregnancy info!!

My body loves 128.0! TOM is getting ready to start soon (most likely) because I have been bloated and feeling hungry! I always feel really hungry before TOM starts. I made a bunch of more cabbage tonight and some more steaks. I put 5 large frozen chicken breasts in my crockpot and poured a huge jar of salsa over them with one cup water and cooked them on low for 8 hours. It is like shredded chicken! It was delicious!I did eat to many melba toasts last night and I think that is why I was up. I ate around 750 calories and I have been losing around 700 calories or less. I will do better today. Only two shortbread cookies today and one serving of melba toast!!
