Yesterday was my checkup.  Doc has me in every 3 weeks instead of 2 because he has been my OB for all my kids.   Anyways, Last visit I was 27 weeks and my measurements were right on.  They measure the height of the fundus (uterus) and it’s supposed to be right on with the weeks you are.  SO,  Imeasured right on, 27 like I should.  Anyways, yesterday was a different story.  I am only 30 weeks and I measured 35!!!  that’s a growth of 8 cm in 3 weeks.  I have never measured big, but have always had babies over 8 lbs.  This could be a problem.

So, doc says baby is very big.  Funny thing is I was complaining about baby being big before the whole measurement thing.  I told him this kid is painful, he is HUGE!!

So now I must have another ultrasound done in 3 weeks to see just how big this boy is.  Also, they need to make sure I don’t have a lot of fluid, because that will stress baby, and mean a whole set of new problems.

So the other day I was at the store and happened to walk passed the “diet” isle.  I glanced over to see this woman, beautiful, young and mdesperately seeking a solution in a box of SlimQuick.  I so wanted to run over there and tell her how she can’t find a magic pill to make the weight disappear.  I watched her for a moment then went about my business.  Later I saw her at checkout with 2 GINORMOUS boxes of that stuff.  I just couldn’t help but feel sooooo sorry for her. 

Why is it that everyone always seeks a magic pill.  They think that they can just pop pills and lose weight without all the hard work of eating healthy and exercising. 

 I was there in that womans shoes ONE time.  At the end of 2007, I had been plateaued for over 6 months and desperately sought a solution.  I turned  to ALLI, yes ALLI!!!  I took it for 3 days before going to the hospital because I had an allergic reaction to it.  Lesson Learned!!

There is no magic pill.  I just wish all these dam diet pill companies would blow up.  The government should be educating Americans about proper nutrition and exercise instead of letting these companies make millions.  UGH
