Just wanted to throw up a quick update on the pregnancy. I had an appointment with the specialist this last Thursday and everything is going perfectly fine. According to their scale, I’ve gained five pounds since two weeks ago. As much as I’m not happy about this, I can’t help but think that either their scale is off, or the scale I was on at my OB’s office two weeks ago was off. There’s no way I gained five pounds in two weeks. Holy crap! At least I don’t think I look that different…

Good news is the doctors don’t show any concern about my weight. It’s just that I’m concerned about it even though I’m also having a hard time not eating everything in sight from the time I get up to the time I go to bed. I don’t think I’ve ever been so hungry throughout a pregnancy. It seems like the farther along I get, the worse the hunger gets. I can’t help but think about this baby coming out at 11 pounds by the end of this because of my eating. Robert was huge at 9lbs 2oz, but the way I’ve been gaining weight with this pregnancy, I really won’t be surprised if this one tops his weight. Not really a good thing so I’m really going to try to work on not eatng so much crap throughout the day. It’s so easy to grab a snack when the tummy rumbles, but I really need to focus more on healthier alternatives. I had some vegetables for lunch so I’m hoping that’s a start. Don’t worry about the fact that they were covered in a buttery sauce! It’s better than two PB&Js with cookies!

As far as the baby is concerned, he’s weighing in at 1lb 6oz right now and is very, very active. I feel little kicks and jabs all day and night. Right now, most of the kicks are centered around the bottom left of my uterus so I can only assume that he’s sitting in there feet-down most of the time. The ultrasound confirmed this, but he still has plenty of time to turn the other way so I’m not too concerned about it.
