Dr. Appointment Yesterday

Well we made it through our last of the monthly visits and now will be moving to every 2 weeks for check ups. That happened REALLY quickly! The appointment was fine, but also a bit depressing! I gained 6 pounds this month. (Again!) How does that happen? Oh, maybe the cookies and ice cream have something to do with it. It is just depressing considering last month I only gained one pound so I was thinking I was going to be at my target weight gain of 25 pounds but now I am sure I will well exceed that! I guess I am just destined to always gain 35 pounds with each pregnancy. I know I shouldn't be obsessed about the weight gain.... but remember once the baby is born, I will just be a chubby lady with no baby- no excuse. And, we are trying to plan a family trip for the month after delivery and I have got to be able to fit into a swimsuit. (Notice I didn't say look good in one- just fit into it!) The dr. also said yesterday that my due date is either 5/9 or 5/11 not the original date we got from the ultrasound of 5/6 but I am not going to bother updating my blog tickers. I am a few days ahead of schedule but I am hopeful I will deliver early!!!!!!! Keep your fingers crossed. Hopefully tonight I will remember to have Al take a belly shot of me. It is growing daily- along with my hips, thighs and bum.

Our next appointment will be the week of 3/23 which is a crazy work week for me. I have a 3 day trade show at the end of that week Thursday-Saturday which will have me on my feet from 8am until 9pm on Thursday and Friday and then have to work on Saturday too from 8-5. I am totally dreading it! I will be so exhausted!!!!!!!!

We are going to R & S's house on Sunday for our rescheduled get together. Let's hope no one gets sick this time.
