Beware the Whale

Here's a little tidbit for ya.....Went to the doctor last week and I've gained 8 POUNDS in the last month. Which is a lot.
Pretty much the norm for me...I have low weight gain for most of the pregnancy then pack it on for the last two, so I was sortof expecting it.....stepping on that scale, watching the numbers climb, I was wanting to shout at the tiny size 2 nurse beside me, "WAIT! I need to take off my shoes and set down my keys! My keys! My bag! They're adding to the numbers! This is not an accurate assessment of my weight!" But instead I was concentrating on standing up straight to make sure that my massive behind didn't block the hallway behind me as the other preggos tried to squeeze by my massive dereirre, and before I could go into the whole shoe/key tirade, the scale had beeped out it's final number and the nurse had said, "okay" and marked it in my chart. How I wanted to snatch the pencil from her hand and hold it to her jugular. "You WILL mark a lower number, to account for my keys, shoes, and purse". But she was already walking away. Dang it.

I have a LOT of work to do in the gym after this baby gets here.
