Kristen ~ HOW AWESOME!!! I've never heard of anyone finding out the sex so early. When will you go public?

We've pretty much already gone public. I'm not annoucing it outright, but, for example, a neighbor asked me the other day about substitute teaching/going back full-time, and I told her that I had planned to, but we are expecting now so I'll hold off for a while. So, if I'm asked a question that the pregnancy relates to directly, then I'll mention it. For weight?...as of yesterday I've gained 1/2 a lb so far, but like you Eggy, my body has changed A LOT already!! I'm trying really hard to get out of this first trimester without any real weight gain. Since I'm already about 30lbs overweight, it is recommended that I only gain 15-20lbs during the pregnancy. I'm not sure that is possible, but I'm going to try really hard. I hope that I can stay around 10lbs for the second trimester. I know that a great deal of the weight comes the last month or so b/c of extra water weight, so I won't worry too much about how much I gain at the very end, but the less I gain before then, the better. It is so tricky, but this is what I get for allowing myself to gain the weight in the first place. Thank goodness the weather has changed enough to allow me to start walking again.

Did anybody see my question about the age of our babies? I'm still wondering about that.
