So my sister and I decided to take a few pictures of my now well rounded belly. We tried the first few sitting down in her papasan chair only to reveal that you could eat a small serving a cheerios out of my belly button. I feel fortunate to still have an "innie" but.... GEEZ! With my next update I will let you know which American currency presently fits in there. Annnyways, we tried a variety of angles only to discover that there really is no attractive way to photgraph the additional 30 pounds that is hanging of my front end. That's right.... THIRTY POUNDS. I know Hailey is measuring rather large, but she really has to stop ordering take out at 2AM and she should probably cut back on that daily jar of peanut butter... which brings me to a wonderful update.
It seems that when you are pregnant and eating ungodly amuonts of peanut butter, you can completely ward off anemia and gestational diabetes. We had our first last trimester check up today, and the Dr. says that I show NO traces of either. She asked me if I was consuming large amounts of meat because my iron levels were really strong. I explained to her that the shear thought of red meat is repulsive and strictly prohibited in our house, and that most of my protein has come from either a turkey sandwich or a ladle full of peanut butter ( that may or may not have been smothered ontop of a chocloate chip cookie, I mean.... apple slices).
All in all, mother and baby checked out just fine, which is all we can ask for right? 83 days to go.
