The Weight Nazi

Today I saw the Weight Nazi. {There is one doctor in my OBGYN practice that is referred to as "The Weight Nazi". He is my regular Gynecologist, so I saw him at the very beginning of my pregnancy, but I've had to make my rounds to the other doctors since then. Today I had come full circle and it was time to see him again.....} I was pretty scared. My big plan was to eat nothing but cucumbers and Melons for 3 days before the appointment so I could avoid being bloated. Did you know that melons are natural diuretics? That didn't really work out though. So I went in today and I had only gained 2 lbs from my last appointment. I was hoping that would satisfy the Weight Nazi. He said..........."You're doing really REALLY good on your weight" YIPPEE! Then he told me he didn't want me to leave the office all happy that he didn't yell at me about my weight and just start eating like crazy. (WhatEVER) He also said he didn't want me eating any summer picnic foods because it all had salt in it. So I didn't get out of the office without some sort of talking-to but at least he didn't make me cry.

My Uterus measured 29" which is perfect. The baby's heart rate was in the 140s again which is also good. I start my kick counts tomorrow. I have to keep track of the baby's kicks from now until the very end. That means, I need to pick an hour every day and check a box every time I feel a kick. Once I get 10 kicks I'm done. This child has never lacked in movement so I'm sure that will be easy.

The doctor also told me that if I have that problem with my butt nerve again I should sleep on my right side. Get the pressure OFF my left side.

My next appointment is June 3rd. Things are going to start going really fast now. It's all getting crazy!

I said screw it on the kick counts. It was to hard to do. Plus he kicks all the time so I figured he was fine.
