I Don't Care About Your Weight

This is what the doctor of the week told me today. Apparently he is of the opinion that it doesn't matter what the scale says, as long as I am not putting on too much weight. At any rate, I gained two more pounds from my last appointment. Baby is measuring fine and the doctor estimates he weighs roughly 5.5 lbs. If I go three more weeks, he says the baby will be around 7 lbs. Let's see if he is correct!

Dr. Sharon also said that his head is down and is already pretty low. Maybe that means I will go early? Let's hope for Grandma Karen's sake, it would be awfully disappointing if she arrived on the 28th and we had no grandchild to let her hold!

36 Weeks

Tomorrow is my 36 week drs. appointment. On my last visit, I had not gained any weight since September 11. I am crossing my fingers I have been able to gain weight, otherwise they are going to have me drink Ensure! I had some help on the eating front from Danielle, Fred and Petre the last two weeks. Two sets of out-of-town visitors to twist my arm to have dessert! BTW, I highly recommend the nutella and burnt marshmallow milkshake from Flip Burger Boutique!

Overall, I am still feeling well. I've become an insomniac, but everyone keeps telling me it is good practice.
