I'M NOT FAT....

I'M PREGNANT!!!! :o)

Here's the story...exactly as it happened today...

Today was photo day at school.

I got all cute...yeah real cute...got lots of compliments even. Lookin' cute and preggo.

All the kids got their pictures taken...one kid had an accident while waiting in line (yum...two kids in front of him and behind him were standing in a puddle...nice) so the lady who was watching my kids in the hallway who had already had their photos taken had to help the little boy get cleaned up. So I had to stand in the hallway.

All the kids were finally done with the photos and I hadn't had mine taken yet, so I got another lady to watch my class so I could get my picture taken.

I went up the stairs and the photographer was off chatting with someone else...so I mentioned that it was my class that she had just finished, but I hadn't had a chance to get my picture taken.

She looked at me and smiled and said...

"No problem! Its not over until the fa..t.....laa...dyy....sings....??" (As she stares awkwardly at my belly...tripping over her words)

ME:

I'M NOT FAT!!!!! I'M PREGNANT WITH TWINS!!!!!!!!

We both had a good laugh...and she was really embarrassed...mumbling something about a poor choice of words. Lol. Thanks lady.

Then I went to my OB appointment (truly disappointing by the way...I didn't realize how crummy their equipment is...no wonder they can't tell you the gender until 18w...I could barely tell I was lookin' at a baby!!) and found out I'd gained 4lbs in the past month....meaning my grand total weight gain for this pregnancy so far is....

11lbs.

Nice one. 14 weeks...11lbs...yikes.

What can I say...I'm tryin' to grow 'em big!!

I'm sure the cheeseburger a day from various fast food places for the past week haven't helped.

BUT I NEEDED THEM.

Really.

Okay okay...I'll try to eat more fruit. But Katie...you know that book you were reading and recommended (When you're expecting twins, triplets or quads)....they want us to eat fast food for breakfast EVERY MORNING...my stomach can't handle that...so I eat it later in the day....and I still haven't gained as much weight as they want me to by this point. So I think I'm doin' just fine.

I'll just keep tellin' myself that.

*wink*

Last little disclaimer...I just eat the wh.op.per ju.nior...no fries...no soda...so it can't be THAT bad right?

Oh...and did I mention that at the specialist's office the Dr. said I was at the "ideal weight" and he wants me to gain 50lbs total for this pregnancy?

So I'm doin' just fine right? :o)

Oh...and that stinkin' H1N1 vaccine...what to do...what to do??????? It freaks me out that this thing has not been tested....but am I gonna die if I get the flu and I'm pregnant? So should I risk dying...and therefore not being able to carry the babies (obviously)....or should I risk my health and my developing babies' health by getting a shot that people truly know nothing about. Is there mercury in it? Are there adjuvents (or whatever they are....) in there that could be bad? Part of the problem is I just don't understand half this stuff and what it is. *sigh*

I asked my OB today and she said "I don't know what to tell you. Its up to you."

Thanks.

I guess I have some praying to do...if you all have any insight...let me know. I've got an appointment to get it next Friday...but I'm REALLY on the fence about it.

On a side note, I have a bunch of awards over at Katie's blog that I WILL be getting to soon...maybe this weekend...I do appreciate them...and I do need to accept them (before you delete my name LOL).

TGIF tomorrow. :o) :o)
