"Do you feel like you're big?"
So, I saw the doctor on Tuesday evening. And guess what? I finally have a doctor who realizes my size is equivalent to a small elephant. I've gained 26 pounds already and I'm barely over halfway. Now, this is nothing new for me. I've gained about 55 pounds with each of my boys, BUT my doctors have always acted like my size was normal and refused to believe that I just might be having a baby that could be a ridiculously large size. He had me take the 24-hour glucose test early (you usually do it at 28 weeks), but he was trying to figure out why I gain so much. That was all clear, so he was a little perplexed. They measured me and I was measuring 1 1/2 weeks bigger than I should've been. He looked at me all thoughtful like and said, "Do you feel like you're big?" I laughed right out loud. "Ummm, yeah, but I always think that, so if you tell me I'm not, then okay." He laughed, "Oh no, you are. I'm going to order another ultrasound for next week so we can see what's going on in there." (I've also been having a lot of pain with this pregnancy and he thinks it's because I'm expanding so fast that my inside girly parts are having trouble supporting the weight......oh good). Anyway, Tuesday we'll see if my "little" girl is going to be as beastly as my "little" Hunter. I may get induced in February instead of having a March baby. Can't complain about that! Especially since my labor is so quick that I've been a little bit worried about having my baby in the car on the way to Richland if my water breaks at home. Ah, good times! Why wouldn't I love being pregnant, you say?

Shoot for February 4th!!!
Do you think you were ever exposed to radiation like the Incredible Hulk? I mean, you thought you were the Hulk when you were little AND you have ridiculously ginormous kids. The math makes sense.
No...shoot for February 1st!!
I want to see a picture!!!! Can you roll yourself out of bed long enough to take a picture?
Love ya!
At least your doctor is generally concerned about you gaining weight so fast. That's good that you don't have diabetes. I was hoping that you'd have a "little girl" but if she's big like Hunter, she will still be the most adorable thing =)
I have a lot of clothes for you that Kennady never wore. I will give them to you when you come over for Thanksgiving. Kennady has outgrown most of them & they were given to me from somebody in the ward & they are summer clothes that she won't fit into next year. I figured that you could use them =)
ha ha do you FEEL big? well that sounds like a funny question. Don't most pregnant women fell big?? glad to hear you're hanging in there.
I know exactly how you feel. I gained 60 pounds with Calvin. I could barely walk by the time he was born. I think the only explanation for the massive weight gain is that I ate like a pig and sat on my butt watching tv all day. But, I'm sure you're not in that same situation (since you have two boys you have to chase around...no tv for you!)
