legs? what legs?

Yup, this is my view these days.  I'm rather large.  In fact, on Tuesday Dr. W informed me that baby girl is measuring not one, but two weeks ahead.  Great.  Doc also said that subsequent babies are usually bigger than their older siblings.  I'll remind you that Stinky weighed in at a whopping 9 lbs 1 oz.    Super.  And yes, I had him the good old fashioned way (that's always the next question I get).   I asked my doctor if I should stop eating ice cream/cookies/sour patch kids every night and apparently my weight gain isn't her concern.   She thinks I just make big babies.  So, with two months to go Miss Thang currently weighs 4 pounds.  Babies usually gain a pound a week from here on out.  You do the math. 

P.S.  I AM grateful that a large baby is my only concern at this point.  I know there are about 83 million much worse things that I could be facing.  I'm still feeling good and thank God every day that we're both healthy and that I still get to eat ice cream.  This is just a status update and a pic of my new cute shoes.

A. I love you shoes.
and,
B. Just a reminder that Luke was only 3 pounds when he was born.. It'll be worth it all to have a HEALTHY big baby, even if it is the good ol fashioned way! She's going to be a precious little chunk!
