Of which I estimate:
- Body fat: 6 lbs
- Water retention: 2 lbs
- Breast tissue: 2 lbs
- Extra blood volume: 2 lbs
- Uterine enlargement: 1 lbs
- Amniotic fluid: 1 lb
- Placenta: 1/4 lb
- Baby: 1/2 lb
TOTAL: 14 3/4 lb
I’m one day shy of 19 weeks.
(My educated guess at the breakdown of my weight gain is based on this nifty chart from http://www.whattoexpect.com. I know that 19 weeks, the fetus weighs about 8 oz; the other numbers are my best guesses.)

Wow…a big congratulations on your pregnancy! I trust all is going well for you. I’ve missed you on your blog SO much. You always have such an interesting take on the greatest subjects. I’m hoping to see you post again. I moved my Life Without Donuts blog from Blogger to WordPress. Definitely a better blogging platform. My new address is http://lifewithoutdonuts.wordpress.com/
Again, congratulations and great to hear from you. Ron, aka The Former Donut Junkie.

Congratulations Psipsina. I was starting wonder if you had fallen off the face of the earth.

Oh, my goodness – congratulations!
I’ve not been keeping up with the blog stuff lately so I’d completely missed this. I hope it’s an uneventful, stress free pregnancy, and that it affords you some let-up from the migraines, as is so often the case!
