The Weight Gain

I had a pre-natal appointment yesterday. The one thing that I'm always curious about when I go in is how much weight I've gained since my last appointment. At my very first appointment they told me I should expect to gain between 15 and 40 pounds throughout the whole pregnancy. As of yesterday I am 0.3 pounds away for the 40 pound weight gain mark!! I'd love it if I could just cap it off right here, but I'm fairly certain that with 6 weeks left and baby supposedly gaining a half a pound a week it just isn't going to happen.

At my appointment I asked if they could tell yet what position the baby is in. I told her that there is always a body part sticking out up by my ribs, but I can't tell if it's a head or a butt. She felt around and determined that the baby is in the head down position so everytime I get a lump by my ribs the baby is sticking out her little butt. I'm sure she'll love to hear about that after she's born!!
