Yay two of my pregnancy books arrived today! I got “The Unofficial Guide to Having a Baby” and The Mother of All Pregnancy Books.” Honestly I should have gotten only one of them, they’re pretty similar… but how was I supposed to know. And IMO the more info the better. Maybe I can give one away as a gift. :) I still have another book coming.

One thing that seems quite clear to me as I read these books: it’s a good thing I’m at the weight I am now. My BMI is 22, which is perfect. (I’m 5’6″ tall and around 135lbs.) I guess my body really did know what it was doing when it put on weight when I hit maturity. :) I just have that little bit of extra padding. And to be honest, except for the bit of flab around my waist, the extra weight looks good on me. It gives me curves. And it’s almost certainly healthier – especially for carrying a baby.
