All is progressing well with the baby. I am feeling much better than I was the beginning of this year, and I feel more like myself again. The whole family is looking forward to bringing home a new little baby sister, it's all Clark can talk about these days.
Yesterday at one of my check ups the doctor was concerned that I wasn't gaining enough weight.
Yesterday at one of my check ups the doctor was concerned that I wasn't gaining enough weight.
Wait! What??? Are you sure you have the right chart there??
Apparently I have only gained 3 pounds since my first trimester.
I knew I hadn't gained back all the wight I lost when I was sick, and I was thinking that was a good thing since I am so over weight. And I know that I have gained back more than 3 pounds. But they only chart since they started seeing me, which was around 13 weeks, and since then it has only been 3 pounds. And between my last two appointments I even lost a teeny tiny bit of weight.
So... they are "concerned". And is makes me laugh, a lot.
At one point the doctor asked me, with a completely serious look on his face, if I was starving myself.
HA! I eat like 6 hamburgers a week. And I snack all day long, and probably not the healthiest portions.
Starving myself, hahahahaha, as if.
I will never forget when I was pregnant with Clark, and I went in for my first check up, I weighted about 180. And the doctor told me that I needed to be careful and not gain too much weight, since I was already obese. OBESE!!!!! Now, I am not gaining enough weight. Please.
It all seems rather ridiculous to me. They said the baby is still measuring good, so they aren't worried about that. They just want me to go see a nutritionist to make sure I am eating right. (Like I have all time time in the world to go to another freaking doctors appointment.) So I will go, like I am told. And who knows, maybe I can get some good advice on what to do after I have the baby, which is when I normally pack on the pounds. (I didn't gain much weight when I was pregnant with the boys, but afterwards I put on like 20 pounds, each, yikes.)
For the time being, I will enjoy this little twist of irony in my life. There is a first time for everything. And I am absolutely positive that no one is ever going to tell me again that I am not gaining enough weight. Ha!
