The Battle of the Buldge

We are quickly approaching week 13, Thursday to be exact. We had an appointment this morning and were able to hear the heartbeat again. It was so nice to hear! The doctor said that it was probably around 150 beats per second and is strong. A healthy baby's heartbeat is between 120 and 160, so that is perfect!!!

The doctor has confirmed the baby bump that Cameron has been trying hard to show. Cameron has gained 3 pounds and the doctor said that she needs to gain 30-40 before the baby is born. Crazy!! Don't worry, apparently Cameron will lose 15 or so pounds when the baby is born and then the other 15-20 six weeks after. Did you know that a woman burns 500 Calories daily from producing milk.

I have made a deal with Cameron. For every pound that she puts on, I am going to try to loose the same. So along the same lines, I, Andrew, am going to put a stomach picture to track my weight loss. I haven't weighed myself recently, so I will find out how I am doing.

Next week I will put up my stomach pic and how much weight I've lost. Until then, here's a artist's representation of how I look.






Weekly Numbers:
Cameron: 3 lbs
Andrew: TBA
