Convo with nurse at Perinatal Office last week:
Nurse: How are you feeling?
Me: Good. Puffy. But good.
Nurse: Good. How much do you weigh and how tall are you?
Me: Ummm.....at my last OBGYN appointment I weighed 190. What was your other question?
Nurse: How tall are you?
Me: Oh - I'm very VERY tall.
I started this pregnancy weighing somewhere around 175. Not my slimmest, that's for sure, but I still fit in my clothes! My last regular OBGYN appointment was March 5th and I weighed in at 190lbs. (That's 15 lbs in 17 weeks.) That is the appointment where I was warned to watch my weight gain. The doctor told me I should only be gaining 2 to 3 lbs per month. Needless to say I left very scared. Putting on the first 15lbs was EASY. Especially because I didn't really eat any differently than I normally did to get that way.
Saturday Eric took out the scale to weigh himself and jokingly I said, "Oh, how about I just pop on there and see how much I've lost - ha ha ha ha". How dumb am I?
Eric: "Ya! Get On it!"
Me: "Hell no"
Eric: "Seriously, you really should."
Me: "Um. No."
Eric: "Just get on it!"
Me: "FINE!"
wait....wait....wait....wait....
I'm so happy -- SO HAPPY -- to report that I still weigh 190. Which means as along as I don't gain too much before Thursday (April 2nd) I should have a good weight report at my appointment! Yay! Relief!!! Weight gain/loss during pregnancy feels so out of my control. Between the swollen ankles and the mad appetite -- it seems so unfair to have to weigh in every month!

That's great! A year ago I was my slimmest ever at 154, and then by summers end (much beer later) I was 168. My first appointment I was 178 and I just recently weighed in at 209. I think this is why the doctor freaked on me- I have gained 50 pounds. FOr the pregancy I have gained almost 30...but overall I think the doctor was scared for me. Damn...I am scared for me!!!
