27

So today was the glucose test day. Drink that nasty juice and wait an hour. I'll find out soon if I pasted, but this is not why I am updating....
I had to get on the scale today. This has become something I dread. And I am one of those people that will shed flip flops and any extra layers of clothing necessary to not add that 0.5 oz to my weight.
I didn't like the number I saw today.
In total, I have gained 27 pounds with this pregnancy (I am currently 28 weeks and some days). And might I add that 16-17 of those lovely lbs have come in the last 8-9 weeks. Apparently, big girl's gone wild! I didn't see the 27 pound mark until well into my mid-30 weeks with Hudson. When I discussed said weight gain with my OB, she mentioned maybe I should tone it down. She said she wasn't at all concerned, but she knew how I am about having a big baby. And she mentioned some studies have shown a correlation with increased pregnancy weight gain and big ole babies.
I'm not up on my research, but apparently there is a correlation with shoving every bad thing you can find in your mouth and gaining 27 pounds in 28ish weeks. Who knew?

So I am going to somewhat limit myself. Maybe 2 slices of pizza verses 4?

Also, we are now at the part of this pregnancy when I start going every 2 weeks?!?! How did it slip up on me so fast. Sure, I've got stuff for her nursery, but it won't be set up until we kick Hudson out in a month.
Today was just one of those rude awakening days.

And I am about to post a preggie selfie. Prepare yourself. I promised myself I would document this one like I did with Hudson.


There she blows. Me and 27 extra "Lillian" pounds
Alyssa asked me to send her this picture, and when I did, She might have mentioned noticing my large "ba-dunk-a-dunk". Thanks, Syss!

Sidenote: I know I am being vain, and we are extremely thankful for a happy and healthy Lillian. But I just was not expecting to see that number today.
