When I went to the doctor on Wednesday morning to see if my water had broken, I had gained FOUR pounds since MONDAY! I told my mother on Monday night that I thought I was looking puffy and sure enough by Wednesday it was four extra pounds of fluid! This was the largest weight gain I have had the entire time. As of Monday I had gained a total of eleven pounds...now making it a total of fifteen! I am not so crazy after all. It is interesting to see how well I know my body.
Everything went went well at the doctor's office and she gave me some medication and told me to take it easy. We will see how much more weight will be added next Monday. Scary!
Since I was not feeling well last night, Big Terry came over to bring GiGi her first ornament and take me to dinner. We went to my favorite place, Olive Street Bistro, and then I took him for Strawn's Coconut Cream Pie. He likes that type of pie more than I do, if you can imagine. They were closing, so they gave us the remains of a pie they were going to throw out, so now I have 1/3 of a fresh pie lurking in my refrigerator. Maybe I can see where the extra pounds are coming from now...
Work...
One of the ladies at the office has started a supper list of people that will provide dinner for us when the baby arrives for two weeks. This was so touching! It is so nice to be surrounded by so many giving people. And, I can't wait to see/eat all of the recipes!!! I know Cheryl will be waiting for some boudin to show up!
Also, they are starting an office pool to see when GiGi will arrive, how much she will weigh and how long she will be! It is called, "Hallawood Squares." Isn't that precious!?! It will be interesting to see who will be the lucky winner(s). Stay tuned...
Well, the first thing that concerns me is that coconut pie in the fridge. That could prove fatal. I hope Jimmie doesn't have one of her mother's late night walking in her sleep spells and eats the entire remainder of the pie plus whatever else is handy and somewhat edible.
ReplyDeleteGigi is turning out ot be quite a little stinker. She is growing by leaps and bounds, and I mean that literally. Jimmie complains about her leaps and bounds daily. We are soooo excited for Miss Gigi to get here, but we want her healthy and fat! This is going to be so much fun. A Granddaughter...how convenient! Can't wait to teach her all my tricks!
Welcome to Blog world! Casey showed me your blog and it is so cute! I always thought blogs were dorky too...but I have my blog book and it is so awesome!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad everything was okay with GiGi. She needs to stay put for a little while longer! It will be SO soon though! :)
