It is so amazing the many things I have heard people say about my pregnancy. One of my buddies last month said to me, "You look like you are about to pop! No, seriously are you supposed to be this big at 6 months?" See the thing is, in the beginning of my pregnancy I had a hard time gaining weight, and that worried me. So I overcompensated and overate. Now my doctor has put me on a diet because he said getting too big too fast is not good on my frame. I gained about 25 pounds in only two months. No idea how that happened (donuts, brownies, and cake was too hard to resist at work)!! So sitting around yesterday at the birthday party, I tell everyone about the doctor's orders and my buddy once again said, "Does it look like she's suffering?" He asks that while pointing at me as I'm stuffing my face with another sloppy joe burger. I have to say, I love eating for two :)
But I am doing my best and listening to my doctor and actually ever since he told me to slow down, I have not gained weight, but have leveled off quite well which will make him happy when I go in this Friday.

So on my frame and the way that I was gaining weight, other co-workers ask me, "Are you sure you're not having twins?" "How much longer do you have?" My belly is pretty big, but I wanted a chubby baby!! However, with the way my back is hurting lately and still 2 months to go, I'm beginning to see why everyone wants me to slow down!! I guess no 9 pounds baby for me. Haha. When I told my doctor about me wanting that, his eyes almost popped out. I'm only 5 feet tall. Everyone seems to agree with him, me having a baby that big will not be easy on me. So I will believe them.

Today my back felt much better! I think it is because I slept with even more pillows around me. I almost started sleeping on my recliner but gave my bed one more chance and added the pillows. I also made a note to myself to shift positions a lot more during the night. So all is good in my prego world again. With my big belly and the way I waddle around the offices at work, everyone always ask how I'm doing. They must think I'm pretty uncomfortable, but I'm okay. Getting up the stairs make me lose my breath a bit....but overall, I can maneuver around just fine. The expressions on every one's face though is pretty funny when they are staring at my belly. I'm enjoying it all.
