On the brink

Of being 200lbs!!! are you kidding me?! I went to the doctor yesterday. Let me first start by saying, everything with the baby is great. Now as far as me....lol...that's a different story. I am now retaining water, oh how fun! The last time i had a doctor appt, I didn't gain any weight from the 2 weeks before.......now this time........I gained 10 lbs in two weeks?!! Yea...i wish i was making this up. I don't know how I have managed to gain so much...my diet has not changed at all. I've actually been more active this last two weeks so i expected to have a better result. I'm 190lbs...with 4 weeks to go. Wow!!! We're going to be parents in a month. Other than that, the doctor says the baby's head is "right there"...lol. No dialation or effacement yet. Which i guess is good...though baby boy is about 6lbs right now. I'm told he gains about a lb a week. i think we may have a little piglet on our hands. =) Monday, Stephen and I go for a tour of the hospital, Friday I go back for another appt. (i go once a week now). and in between all the commotion, I've got to get the epidural approved as well as little Michael's circumcision. Gooooo medical insurance. Good thing I found out before we went to the hospital, other wise everything would have been out of pocket. Oh joy. Other than that, I've been cleaning like crazy, getting everything ready, and trying to keep these kankles under control. Here's a recent pic. I'll save you the shock....I'm huge.
