I'm a pig. I gained 5 lbs in two weeks! To cut myself a little slack, it was the holidays and all. Chris brought home tons of treats from work so I had no choice but to eat them all. I now weigh 141 lbs. I thought for sure the Doctor was going to have a little talk with me about that, but she said that is fine and she is not concerned at all and wants me to keep gaining weight. Those are the doctors orders so I will keep up the good work. ;-)
Everything else is going great. BP was 122/80 and the bump is measuring right on track. I mentioned that there are days I don't feel him move so much and that it worries me. She said it could be his position facing my spine. She also said I have a lot of muscle tone in my abdomen and that having it so tight makes it harder to feel all of the babies moves. That really lifted my self-esteem after I stepped on that scale. I'm getting so excited. 8 more weeks until I get to meet my special boy!
Last night Chris and I had our first of five Lamaze classes. We watched the birth video from the 1970's. Why is everyone on those videos so ugly? After that we got down to business and Chris gave me a nice massage from head to toe. Oliver was moving like crazy. I think he liked being there with all the other babies ;-) Unfortunately as I laid there getting the massage the volcano, known as my esophagus, started erupting acid. I don't think I actually got the relaxing experience that was intended. On the way home we stopped at In-n-Out to share a double-double and strawberry shake. Not sure if that was the best remedy but it was so good!
