Ah Beth, I think 4 lbs in 2 wks sounds about right. These last few weeks are when the baby really starts gaining If your BP is still good and the swelling isn't constant, then you're doing great IMHO.

Congratulations on the good deals. Shopping for baby stuff is fun, but even better when you see a friend AND get a good deal!

You're almost to the finish line, girl!

Hugs,

Thanks Jo I didn't know he was going to nutso today! My BP is low I do have swelling but only after too much walking! Thank you though I think he went just a little over board today!

I can't believe how close the finish line is, scary and exciting all at the same time!!

Hugs
Beth

OH 4lbs could have been water/ your clothes or the meal you just ate!  Geez don't doctor's know that any mention of weight can really throw us off the deep end!!!!  
Don't fret about it.   You're in the home stretch now. :)  

Great finds at BR US today.  Good deals are always a good thing. :)

I have been sweating it all along and my OB has been so good so the minute I relax he kicks in! And no he definitely doesn't realize how he almost ruined my whole day!
It's hard to believe I only have a little over 6 weeks! It's amazing sometimes knowing how long it took to even get pregnant and now it's almost over!

Thanks by the way for the support and knowing this could be water weight!  There are so many reasons I come here :-)

sorry to hear your ob made you feel that way, my ob doesnt care much how much i gain or loss as long as the babies are ok

with my daughter i gained 14lbs overall, and so far now i have gained 6lbs

i think i worried more than him

at least you are not stuffing down twinkies, it could be worse, it will all come off once your baby is born

OMG, I think I gained 10 lbs in 2 weeks with Kellen!  LOL!  He was a 10.5 pounder though.  I wouldn't worry too much about your weight.  If you're eating right, what else can you do? 

Sounds like you've been having FUN getting your little man all ready!  I can't wait to start getting stuff for our GIRLS!

Thanks Sandy he kills me too because even though I have told him/them like every time I had WLS they always always always bring up my sugar intake so I have to remind them I DON'T/CAN'T eat and drink sugar!
so it has to be my carb intake so I am going to watch that and up my protein!

I am bet you are super excited about getting ready for girls!! wooohooo I love decorating for little girls but I will say I am having fun with this little monkey too!!!

You're naming him Lucas???????  Did you know that's the name we have picked out if we ever have a boy?  In fact, that's what we called Sophie until we found out we were carrying a girl.  Anyway, you're a pretty cool girl so I guess I can share the name with you.  :)  lol

I think your OB needs a twinkie!

Anyways - my OB told me that the last trimester I should EXPECT to gain 1-2lbs. a week. So I'm not quite sure why your doc is being so Natzi-ish. I think you're a beautiful pregnant lady - whether you gain 2 or 10lbs in 2 weeks!

So excited that you're doing well with getting the baby things. The only thing left I have to get is the crib mattress and then I can really start decorating. I feel like I'm cutting it kind of close since I'm due in 3 weeks and the doc says he's running 2 weeks ahead - but worse comes to worse, I fini**** after his arrival.

BTW - have I told you how jealous I am that your little mister is "Lucas"? That was my top pick (after the One Tree Hill character) and SO used his one veto on it because he KNEW that it was after the OTH character - haha!
