ATTENTION: Eating junk food helps you lose weight!

Do I have your attention? Well, let me just explain. Today I had a doctors appointment, I am going every week now, since Ella will be born in 3 weeks and 5 days. But whose counting? Anyway, I dread the part of the appointment where you have to get on the scale to see how big your butt has become. I have a mirror at home, I don't need to see the numbers! I took off my coat, stepped out of my shoes, I almost thought about taking my sweater off, because it was a heavy one, but decided against it, and stepped onto the scale. It creaked and moaned, (I am not kidding, it actually creaked) as I hefted my self upon it. The nurse set it to a certain weight, it didn't even budge, she pushed it to the right some more, nothing, then she moved the bigger weight thingy and it finally started to balance. The whole time I'm thinking maybe I should have peed before I got on, that's what I always did at weight watchers, it was always good for a few ounces. Anyway, the nurse looks at me and says just 1.5 lb gain. I say "oh goody".
Now let me just say that I was pretty good when I was pregnant with my boys, I ate really well, took my prenatals like a champ and drank lots of water. Not with this one. Let's just say with this baby I have been really bad! If you owned stock in McDonalds the past 8 months you've probably experienced a windfall because of me! Ok, it might not be that bad, but I have consumed a bunch of crappy food, so when the doctor came in and told me that I had only gained 17lbs this pregnancy and that it meant I actually lost some weight during the pregnancy I got pretty darned excited! Does that mean I can keep eating the junk after the baby comes??? I don't think I'll chance it, my butt still looks pretty chunky, weight loss or not!

Do I look like I've lost weight, I don't think so! Crazy doctor!


So, all in all today was a pretty good day. I actually got to see the doctor for a few minutes today, I managed to take a nap, and a friend of my sister-in-law let me come over to her house tonight and "shop" through her baby girl clothes. I got some great stuff. It is so fun to buy pink pretty little outfits, boy clothes just aren't as fun!

And lastly, my sweet and talented friend Tonya, nominated me for my 1st blog award, and I am so excited. I will try to get it posted on here tomorrow, if all goes well. In the meantime, check Tonya out at More than Enough http://tkmcdaniel.blogspot.com/ , she's awesome!
