Record Breaking Weight Gain!!!!

I was worried about this appointment because since my last appointment I was sick and didn’t really eat much, then we were packing, moving and unpacking…even having movers it’s a big job!  I figured I would have more disappointing news from the scale.  However I tipped the scale at 151 lb’s meaning I gained over 6 lb’s in 2 weeks and I am up 11 lb’s from my pre-pregnancy weight.  I felt like my face has been filling out and my legs are beginning to retain water, but I thought if I couldn’t gain in Australia with all the cupcakes then what could I do.  The problem is I guess both the baby and I can’t gain at the same time…his weight is now in the 30^th percentile, when he had been in the 50^th most of the time.  The doctor said it is normal to have some small gains and some big gains. 

Little Zachary still likes to keep his hands in front of his face,

the doctor did everything he could to move his arm and before he could snap the picture it was back in front of his face.  I guess my little one won’t be a swaddled baby.  I did get a few views of his face while the doctor was shaking and punching my belly.  I think he looks a little like Adam, he has Adam’s nose at least. 
My next appointment is in 2 weeks and I have to have another blood test to check if I need to get the next round of RH- antibodies.  I figure if I keep gaining 6 lb’s between appointments I will be all caught up with the recommended gain on my due date.
