So my crappy afternoon....
I go to the Dr, and Beckham (his nickname) is doing fabulous. Great strong HB, my blood pressure is good. She measured my massive tummy and that was good. My weight, well lets just say Im a fat AS$!!!!!!
I gained 8 lbs, in a month. Yes you read that right 8 lbs . She then asked do I know why I gained 8 lbs, Um yeah I am a cheeseaholic!!! So she told me I can still have it, just only 1-2 times a week.  So my husband telling me the baby would be born covered in cheese is not so far off.
Then I go to the store, and this old bitty woman, says to me
her: "when are you due?"
Me: Oh, not until Jan
Her: you know what it is?
Me: Yes, it is a boy
Her: Oh you must be so disappointed!!!
Me: WHY would I be disapointed, I wanted a boy.
Her: Well most want a girl.
Me: That's stupid  grabbed my turkey and waddled away. Dumbas$!
So that capped off my 8lb afternoon, Im going to my gym and walking for the next month. Im still shocked. More mad but still shocked!
8lbs, who does that.

Re: So my crappy afternoon....
The old lady should mind her own business. As for the 8lbs, that's not SO bad. I know it sounds like a lot but it's really not. I swear. Could have been 18lbs. Now that would have been a lot in one month.

Re: So my crappy afternoon....
I gained 8 lbs too this month, don't feel bad, the nurse looked at me and said I really hope you start eating more healthy, your not just eating for urself, and DH was like actually she eats very healthy, don't make her feel bad, ur not even a doctor. I was mortified, but glad DH stood up for me, cause I really am eating OK, or so I thought
And I can't believe that woman said that!! what nerve! I'm having a baby boy too, and I wanted a boy, some people just s*ck!

Re: So my crappy afternoon....
I gained 8lbs at my last appointment too (15-19weeks). My dr. wasn't concerned at all, said I had a growth spurt. I was atthe dr. last week (21 weeks) because i had some cramping and they weighed me, I was exactly the same as I had been two weeks before, so who knows.
Oh and about the boy comment.  I don't know what comes over people when they say such stupid things.

I also gained 6 lbs in one month-well actually 3 weeks but who's counting? However in the next 8 weeks I only gained 1.4 lbs. I think it was water weight actually....have you been swelling?

I was a few weeks ago, but laid off the french onion soup (another awful thing I HAD to have) and I have like doubled my water intake daily so I dont know. I think honestly, I really need to go to the bathroom, It has beena few days, so I think once that happens it wont be AS bad.
At this point I can justify anything.

Re: So my crappy afternoon....
People are a$$holes. I don't know why anyone would say anything about being disappointed.
Don't worry about the weight gain. I gained 9 lbs between weeks 16 and 21. It seems like a lot of people gain a bit of weight around then. IMO, the weight gain is due to a growth spurt.

Re: So my crappy afternoon....
Awwwww Jen, don't worry about it...8 lbs is NOT a huge deal. I'm surprised she gave you trouble about it. Heck, I once gained 20 lbs. in a month when I WASN'T pregnant...
I don't see why you have to limit your cheese, either...there are worse things you could be eating...like the 2 monster boxes of junior mints I down each week

Ooh you and my mom, with the junior mints. "they're very refreshing" My Seinfeld moment. She hides them around her house. at any given time you can find a box of them in a chair cushion.
Im going with the growth spurt. Thank you all for NOT making me feel like a total fat A$$!!
