I had an OB appointment yesterday. At that appointment, my doctor told me she was glad to see that I'd finally gained some weight. However, she quickly added that by 20 weeks, she would like for me to have gained a total of 20 lbs. That gives me 4 weeks to gain almost 15 lbs. I asked her how she suggested I make that happen. Her response: "Milkshakes....lots of milkshakes. And eat some Cheez-its every time you have a serving of veggies." I kind of thought she was joking, but I quickly realized she wasn't. I'm basically under doctor's orders right now to bulk up so these babies can have a little extra fat on them when they're born (early).
I consumed just over 2500 calories today...so I'm getting there (hopefully)!
