    How're you doing, Samantha-Jane?

    I had my first OB appointment on Friday and the midwife weighed me and I was horrified to see that I'm almost 79kg! I knew our scales at home are a bit crap, but I'm thinking of just chucking them out now, they only put me at 75kg. Although to be fair, when the midwife weighed me, I was wearing jeans, sneakers and a jacket AND I'd literally just wolfed down lunch. So I'm thinking maybe I'm around 77kg. I hope! It really freaked me out though so for the past day or so I've been trying to eat a lot more healthily. Didn't help when my Mum showed up today with choc chip cookies AND muffins. Luckily for me, I'm still off sweet things a bit, so I only ate one cookie.

    But argh! I don't want to get obsessed with my weight, but I've been feeling a bit unhappy today about it. Doesn't help that my regular clothes (esp jeans) have now gotten a bit too tight to be comfortable, but all my old maternity clothes are still too big. Ill-fitting clothes don't do much for the self-esteem. Sigh. I hate feeling so ugly.

    Sorry for the rant!
