Here I am, 27 weeks along. I feel big, I went to the doctor today and the nurse took my weight, then went and enetered it into the computer and a screen came up that said "This patient has gained 11.5% of her body weight. Is that correct?" and she pushed YES!! What, that can't be right...I immediately started freaking out, straining to see the screen...should I say something, should I not?? I finally decided to speak up..."um, does that really say [my weight]?" and her response..."Oh, that's not right, I wondered why that box came up!" Yeah, she had added 10 pounds to my actual weight....phew...I'm still good to gain some weight through the remainder of my weeks! Talk about scary....Then my doctor came in...and remember my frustration with "your so small"? My doctor even said today "You look tiny", but then she measured me, and said, "Well, you're measuring a centimeter bigger than you should be, you can be big even when you look tiny." I'm not sure if that was supposed to make me feel better??
I get to return to the doctor in two weeks for my glucose test, let me just tell you I am NOT looking forward to this morning of fun! Everyone has been offering their best advice about making sure it's cold, chugging it, etc. The doc said to me as I was leaving "Don't forget your orange pop!" Orange pop, yeah right...I'm not that gullible!

You look terrific!! Thank you for all the updates - keep them coming!
The glucose screening isn't as bad as everyone made it out to be. I had a fruit punch flavored one, and it tasted just like koolaid. So don't sweat it, Ann. It's no big deal. :)

BTW, you do look terrific!

You are small! I can totaly relate to feeling huge even when everyone else says otherwise. I go drink the yummy orange stuff tomorrow. Maybe I'm weird, but I didn't think it was that horrible last time.
