Today I had my doctors appointment. I knew my results from my ultrasound yesterday already though. Because I was measuring so far behind she sent me for an extra ultrasound. I thought I wasn't worried but as I got closer to the clinic I realised I was worried. I think part of it was that Tony wasn't there. The last time I got bad news he couldn't go either so I had to drive myself home and I still don't know how i did it. At the ultrasound though the tech would have let Tony come in right away and not sit outside till she went to get him. To bad that wasn't like that at my last one that he was there. She did all the measurements and then tried to get some good pictures for me. I was in there for 45minutes and still didn't get any pictures. Baby is facing my back in a transverse direction so she couldn't' get a profile or a face pic. Then she said that she was going to measure the heart rate well then my daughter decided to flip. She turned face up and I thought we could get some good pictures. I was wrong. Apparently she doesn't like anyone knowing how fast her heart is beating. I know she always kicks the doppler when the doctor tries to check but this time was so funny to watch. She went crazy with the wand on my stomach, so much that we couldn't have got a picture cause we couldn't' get the wand to stay down long enough. As soon as the tech stopped trying she flipped right back over so we couldn't see her. I felt so bad that Tony wasn't there and then we didn't get any pictures. Although they did say that past 30 weeks it is hard to get a good picture. I went in at 32w4d and she was measuring at 32w2d and already weighs about 4lbs9oz. So she really is perfect. You always want your kids to be perfect and she is just that.
Then I went to the doctor. I haven't gained enough weight. If you figure out how much she weighs and the placenta and everything else I am in the negatives. That means that I need to gain more weight. My doc feels that it is my nights shifts that are doing it. I don't think so at all though. I know that my day shifts are worse for me cause I don't sleep well and I am busier which causes my back injury to get worse. Nights i am always rested and feel so much better after. Well she told me that if at my appointment in 2 weeks I hadn't gained 5lbs she would take me off work. I had to laugh. I have heard people leaving for high blood pressure or too much pain or actual problems. I could have to leave work early because I haven't gained enough weight. It just sounds so funny to me. So I will try and gain the weight needed. I only have 14 more shifts left so I would like to finish them out at least.

Seriously Paige, you can have some of my extra weight right now :P I'm SO jealous, especially since the baby is healthy and you're skinny. Glad to hear all is well... :)
I was going to say the same thing as Kortney. You are welcome to as much of my pregnancy weight as you would like. I'm a 'gainer' during pregnancy, as my doctor said when I was pregnant with Kaleb. It basically means that no matter how healthy I eat, I just tend to gain!! Fortunately, since it is weight gain from a healthy, balanced diet it tends to come off very easily. Still, I'm more than happy to send a good 10-15lbs your way!! LOL!!
I would love to gain more weight. It doesn't seem to matter if I eat healthy or just eat ice cream I don't seem to gain. I really don't think it is because I am working cause on my days off I do nothing physical. I keep feeling like I am not giving her enough if I don't gain. It should come off easy if there isn't anything there after but this is the one time I should be gaining in life.
