I went in for my 38 week check up and found out I had gained 12 lbs in the 6 days since my last appointment. The nurse even had me weigh again on another scale to make sure this was actually the case. Holy cow, if I didn't feel like a fat fat fatty before, I certainly do now. I had even been good about my food habits all week! The doctor was not concerned and said that it was likely due to water retention and can happen at this stage. So my super important question is: there's still ice cream in the freezer, should I go for it? Or should i get my fat ass off the couch and walk down 3 flights of stairs for a milkshake (exercise right)?

The more water I drink, the more slowly my weight creeps up and the better I feel.

I pray my water breaks in a controlled state. I'm imagining an epic water break!

I always have to roll my eyes at non-pregnant weight-obsessed friends who moan and wail over "gaining" 2 lbs in a day.
