Went to the ol' doc yesterday. Baby & mommy doing well! According to Mr. Ultrasound machine, baby jones' estimated weight is about 4 lbs, 11 oz. --Good gracious, he's a porker! :)-- According to myth, I can expect his birth weight to double by the time he's born, which puts him at about 9 lbs, 6 oz. Wonderful. My goal was to grow an 8 pounder, not a 9+ pounder! But I'm hoping that the machine is OVER estimating. It also is saying that I'm actually a week farther into my pregnancy than I really am, which COULD mean that I could have the baby a week earlier! COOL. That, I hope, is TRUE. But ya never know! It's fun to wonder about it...
By some miracle of God, my weight has remained the SAME for the last month. Wow. This, of course, is fabulous news to me, but not so great news to the doctor. She was taking it so seriously, and asking me tons of questions about the way I eat, and I couldn't stop laughing b/c it is the first time in my life where I can really eat what I want and not gain weight. Trust me people, I EAT! Just to make a point, the baby has gained a ton of weight in the last month, so that's good. Anyways, she's asking me questions and Reuben goes, "You're not throwing up, are you?" (as a joke) but I think he freaked the doctor out even more. It was pretty funny! But she did advise me to get 4 servings of dairy and 4 servings of protein a day (I'm really hurting in the dairy dept.), so that is my new goal to work on. I made myself drink a glass of milk and have some protein for breakfast today. I will now try to eat at least one serving of protein with my breakfast, since normally I just eat some sort of carbs and fresh fruit. Now I'll add some eggs or ham...you get the picture!

hey, i didn't gain any weight with my 1st until after 6 months, and then the doc freaked out and said she was going to send me to a nutritionist. so i went out and bought donuts, and such trash!!! it worked, but who knows why the body is so crazy.
I know it's crazy! And from my pictures you can tell that I'm definitely not SKINNY, so go figure. I am convinced it's just b/c I was already overweight when I got pregnant, so that's why I guess?
