The latest picture of me:
Seriously. I feel like a fat cow these days. At my last OB appointment 3 weeks ago, my doctor told me that she wanted to gain 20 more pounds by the end of the pregnancy (approximately one pound a week). I initially thought she was crazy -- I had no idea how I was going to gain a pound a week. Fast forward to today (only 3 weeks later) and I've packed on an additional 5 pounds. Huh.
Otherwise, things have been going well. We finally settled on a name for out little bean, picked out nursery furniture & bedding, and have almost finished our registry. I'm on complete baby-shit overload after researching cribs, carseats, high chairs, and everything else needed to bring a baby home. I keep hoping it's going to get better/easier, but I hear that it just gets worse....

haha, nice picture. :) so, you gonna share the name or wait until she's born?
good luck with all the preparations! i wish i could offer advice, but i'm behind the curve on that one. :)
Don't worry - it gets better! I'm only a few months ahead of you and it's definitely gotten better - or else the initial shock has just warn off. My doc is big on me only gaining 25 lbs total. I've gained 17 and have just less than 2 months to go. I've always been bigger than you (remember our childhood pics?? I was always the biggest/tallest) and so far I'm pretty on track. Hang in there! :)
I highly doubt you are as fat as acow!! That is an impossibility! :D
But I have to admit the amount of weight these crazy doctors want us to put on is a bit intimidating!
I hope things do get better....remember I'm living a vicariously through you for what is to be in the coming months for me! IT HAS TO GET BETTER!
I tried to find a picture of Dale The Whale from the Monk tv show for a post today. But since I couldn't find that, I went a different direction. I could see comparing myself to a fat cow. You though? Highly doubtful. Now post a damn picture of you and your cute belly or things are going to get crazy up in here!
(I too thought it would be hard to gain weight, but apparently I am doing JUST fine! About a pound a week. YIKES!)
