Let's be honest....

Well, I guess if I could post my good weight gain at my last appointment, I should be honest and post how it all evens out eventually... So this time I managed to gain 5 lbs since my last visit. That's crazy! Now how sweet is my husband? When I told him... he said, "that's okay, you had only gained 2 lbs in the other 4 weeks, so that just makes 7 lbs in 6 weeks... and that's just over a pound a week...that's still really good!" That definitely made me feel better :)

Anyway.. it's all for good reason. I am now going to the doctor weekly, and everything is looking great. The swelling in my ankle from this weekend even went down and the doc told me I had darn good looking ankles for 35 weeks pregnant! :) It's still kinda surreal that at my visits now, the important things they tell me are about knowing when to go to the hospital, and making sure I know how to get there! I guess we really are almost done!

We had our last class at the hospital last night, so I guess we're supposed to be all trained and ready... ha! I fully expect to not know what to expect. I am still really relaxed about the whole birth process. I figure there's no point getting myself all worked up about it or having too many expectations of how I want it to go, because you just never know. We've read and gone to classes and talked to friends, and I'm just trusting that we'll remember what we really need to when it's happening. Now, I just need a few free days to get my to-do list done. Still no bag packed, no carseat in the car and no recovered glider! :) I have a feeling that's going to be the story of my life for the next few years...

  1. Melissa,

    You have wonderful husband. He sees the glass half-full. I love that!!! By the way, talk to your nana. You got those great looking ankles from her, I'm sure. She had pretty legs when she was young and I think they're still pretty to this day.
