My midwife is gonna be mad at me. *Update

edited September 2013 in October 2013 Moms
I'm up 8 lbs from my last appointment 2 1/2 weeks ago. Yesterday I was only up 2 lbs, so totally acceptable. But my H and I ditched the kids yesterday with the grandparents and celebrated our anniversary. Lunch at the Melting Pot, picked up buttery popcorn from a local movie theater and took it home to watch rented movies. And we topped it off with some yummy Chinese take out. So a high sodium gluttonous day and totally worth it. There is no way I ate 6 lbs of food yesterday, so I know it's mostly water retention. But that much gain looks so bad. *update* So I have the best midwife ever. I had a nearly 10 lb weight difference from last appointment to this one. Neither she or thhe nurse brought it up. No scolding, nothing. I brought it up finally. I told her it was the caused by celebrating our anniversary. She just shrugged it off and reminded me to drink lots of water and eat a bunch of watermelon to help flush out the extra water.

    Totally worth it.  I just topped off my lunch with Strawberry Poptarts though so I'm no health expert.  Drink lots of water, maybe you can flush some of it out before your appt?

    I've drank about 60 oz of water in the past 3 hours. I know it's probably not even close to enough because I'm still thirsty. Oh well. I regret nothing.

    Ugh, stupid freaking iPads and the no paragraphs. About the popcorn, I didn't know you could do it either. We got to the theater and none of the movies appealed to us. But there was no effing way I was going home without popcorn. Turns out, they are totally cool with you just buying the $8 popcorn.

    I used to work in a movie theatre several years ago and we would have people come in just to buy from the concession and take it home all the time. I definitely did this when I craved movie nachos with my first pregnancy.

    I go to the movie theatre all the time to go buy this peach candy I can only get there. They let me walk in and buy it without a ticket. :)

    I can't believe I am finding out about this buying concession food and not going to the movies at the END of my pregnancy. Hello? My guilt free days are numbered. sadface.
