I had a checkup for Haley today and everything looks great. My doctor commented that my belly is “just the right size” but that I might not make my “goal weight” at this rate. It was a little funny because when I got weighed by the nurse she was concerned that I’d lost weight this month, until I pointed out that last month it was 50 degrees out and today it’s 90… so I think my clothes probably weigh a little less! But according to our scale at home, I haven’t gained a pound all month.
Since you’re so curious and people keep asking (Kim!), I’ll just write it: I’m 140 pounds and my waist is 38 inches around. I’ve only gained 15 pounds, and at this point with JT I’d gained 25… but my waist size is the same. My doctor told me to snack more and to feel free to indulge. I said I am, and I do. 🙂 So she shrugged and said, “It’s not like she’s not healthy. You’re fine.”
I got to listen to her strong heart beat and schedule all of the checkups through the end… crazy. I also got back my blood test results and everything looks great… glucose levels were good, antibodies good, and my iron count is pretty good for pregnant. I’m actually 1/2 point outside the normal range for adult women, which is better than most pregnant women. My doctor said to get more iron if I think about it. Between this and the weight gain comment, I’m feeling Red Robin calling to me. Yummmmmm.

28-week belly
The most significant change lately is the big pop-out… my belly button doesn’t stay tucked in anymore. Check it out: it even casts a shadow of its own in pictures!
Last, we also got to schedule our c-section. Mark your calendars for September 15th at 9 AM – if she waits that long!
