I'm Laurie - I'm 5'2 and around 235 the last time I visited the doctor - I'm sure they'll weigh me Tuesday at my first OB/GYN appt. I'm 8 weeks, 1 day pregnant. Most of my family members struggle with their weight (my sister had WLS this past year) so they are super supportive about my pregnancy and in fact encouraged me to start trying instead of trying another year to lose weight before I started a family. "What if you never lose the weight? Can you face never having kids?" Well the answer to that was a big NO!

I am eating healthier than I ever have, lots of small, healthy meals. I want to do more exercising and hope to when I have a little better weather and more energy! I've luckily had no morning sickness so far

I've found JCPenneys.com has some cute plus size maternity wear!
