24 and more!

So, I went to the doc yesterday for my (enter amount of weeks) check-up. The heartbeat sounds great, and she is kicking like a wild woman. Considering how hyperactive Noah continues to be, I am not surprised that his lil' sis is already giving him a run for his money.

I, however, was very surprised when I hopped on the scale. First of all, I couldn't SEE the scale to read it. Interesting, that has never happened to me before! The biggest shocker came when I sashayed my belly and neck around until I finally got a peek......



Yikes!!! 193??!!! I will certainly weigh 200 pounds by the time this pregnancy is over, another first in my life. Well, the belly IS protruding...





According to everything I am reading, the most that she weighs is, like, 2 pounds?? Then you add the 2 pounds of placenta, a few pounds for bigger boobs, enlarged uterus, some water weight, and, hm, I know I am forgetting something.
um...

no...

no...

probably not...

uh-oh...




There it is!! The "small piece" of chocolate cake I ate at one am the other night, plus the six pieces of pizza I ate at work this one day.



Yeah, that's where the other 18 pounds came from. I'm pretty sure anyways.


Though I have yet to proclaim " I'm eating for two," I am (surprisingly) not freaking out about it. I say surprisingly because I used to run 10-15 miles a week, play basketball every day, and be an overall health nut. I HAVE started going back to the gym. This move was okayed by the doc, since I have passed the 24 week mark. I spent just under 12 minutes on the bike the other day and then I had some Whoppers and Root Beer on the way home. Oh well, at least I almost worked up a sweat!

SO, I say "24 and more" because big baby girl can't decide when she wants her due date to be. It was originally May 11th, then moved into April and now back to May. I guess I will just tell people "whenever God decides." Noah taught me that due dates are pretty much irrelevant, anyways!




(Man, that kid makes me look pale-lol!)

You look great Kelly!!!!! It is nice to see your doing good, and at least you know you can count on me for already being there... I hit that mark at 21 weeks, add 10 weeks and you'll be able to imagine how much I weigh! But luckily it comes off, even if its not easy. I love you guys and miss you tons!!! Love Kati
