Yes, those were the words of the nurse at the doctor's office today as she was writing down my recent weight onto my chart. I couldn't believe it! I just about fell over. I have gained a whopping 8 lbs. in just 4 weeks. Dr. Ramos said it was fine since I really haven't gained much weight since I first got pregnant. But, 8lbs, c'mon! I think I need to lay off the burgers and fries for awhile and maybe the ice cream too!
Today's visit was uneventful. Chatted with my doc for awhile (mostly about work) and then she measured my belly for the first time. This is something that they do once you are 20 weeks. I am measuring right on at 22cm. Dr. Ramos is a bit concerned about my work schedule though. She thinks that I may be over doing it with the extra shifts and just night shift in general. After discussing my reasons for working all these shifts, I have decided that, well, it's just not worth it. I am so tired all of the time and it's becoming more difficult to stay up with these babies all night, especially lately since we are so busy. So, I have decided to take myself off a couple of extra shifts. Having extra money is not worth it if the outcome could possibly mean preterm labor and a very own preemie of my own! NO THANKS!!
