Had my 16 week appointment with Dr. VDH - She was pleased I gained some weight and my stomach grew a little bit. I've been having a lot of lower back pain, but she said it's normal and I'm just experiencing it a bit early - Joy! She'd like me to gain 25-35lbs, so let's hope I don't gain 55-65lbs (especially when Tom's crossing his fingers that I will crave pizza/burritos!). I can't imagine what I'll be feeling in Month 8 or 9... Suppose I can't really complain if it's the only symptom I've had so far. And besides, who doesn't love lounging on the couch watching crap TV?
