Let's compare shall we

So below is the side by side profile comparison of me at 19 weeks and me at 28 weeks- okay this may sound silly but where did the belly come from that fast? I mean seriously, if you're going on a diet you don't expect to lose this many inches in 9 weeks but holy cow when you're pregnant you can sure gain inches in a hurry. I don't know what my weight gain actually is but according to the Wii I gained 6 pounds since the last time I was on it and according to my Dr I gained 2 pounds since the last visit. I'm happy with this and I think I should note that I am NOT trying to not gain weight-- truly I figure if there is a time to eat whatever I want and pack on a few pounds now is the time-- it just seems my body is saying that it's not necessary. My Dr. is not concerned about my weight gain as Mr. Dax is still growing very well and my belly is measuring right where it should be- between 28 and 29 weeks.

SO here is the front comparison shot, granted I should be doing this in the same shirt but hadn't really though that a comparison shot would be pretty cool-- I'll have to do this again and be sure to be in the pink shirt. :) Now here's my question-- when you're pregnant and someone says Oh you're looking so little still-- how do you respond? I say Thank you just because it is SO much better to hear that than "wow you're fat" (insert laugh here). But those people also got me a little worried that maybe I'm supposed to be bigger at 7 months-- I am so thankful to have a Dr. who is reassuring and said that there really is no magic number for weight gain and that EVERY pregnancy and every woman carry differently. So to all of you out there who say I still look so little- THANK YOU! I love you and when I'm 36 weeks pregnant and can't see my toes can you tell me that I still look so little even if what you're really thinking is "hmm is she having twins??" (insert laugh again)

We're back to a "maybe"

Just got back from the Dr. and the biggest news is he isn't saying I'll need a C-section for sure. He says that the placenta has moved a little and could move completely out of the way by the time we get to delivery. Which was a shock to me after talking to the nurse on the phone about my results. He also said that if I do have to have a C-section we could wait all the way up til week 39, again this surprised me becuase everything I have read indictated 36-37 weeks. Maybe that's because women start to thin out and/or dialate around that time and if that happens a C-section would occur because the placenta would begin to be exposed which isn't a good thing. So I guess the short version of the Dr's appointment is-- we're back to maybe either direction. :) Which is okay but also drives me nuts... I need to get used to the fact that life with a baby is never set in stone and you can't plan everything out to the T.

Baby is measuring right where he should be, I'm measuring the same and only gained 2 pounds since the last appointment. I have no idea how much total I've gained as I've decided its better to not get fixed on the "right" number of pounds to gain.

Well that's all for now, this is my last week of summer break and my last monday off with Dustin so better go enjoy in. :)
