"Weighty" issue

Well, I just had a checkup and all is looking good, but of course the doctor had to say "you've had quite a weight jump, but I guess that's okay for you". While it isn't bad or troublesome news, it's still not what anyone wants to hear. Yes, after I was sick for 5 days I really didn't eat anything and ended up losing 5 pounds. AND --just a half hour before -- had a REALLY big lunch -- large tuna sandwich, fries, pop yum, so I'm sure that contributed to it. So far, it looks like I'm at the 18 pound mark as far as weight gained this pregnancy. I guess it will be another 40 pounds like with Clara. Ho hum.

I am enjoying the third day into my 3 week break. I finished painting the trim in the spare bathroom as well as the door, so that room is officially complete! Hooray! Now I'm working on putting Clara's winter clothes away and sorting through some boxes I had been tossing some of her old clothing. I have to get it all ready for storage and pull out Greta's old clothes for spring. It's going to be mid-70's here today, so we definitely need spring outfits around, but 60 on Saturday will feel cool so sweatshirts and jeans will be needed as well. The Spring weather is glorious. And the pollen really hasn't begun to leave it's sticky green mark over everything yet, so I can have the windows and doors open while I work and am listening to some wonderful birds in the trees as I type.

But, it's time for my moment at the computer to come to an end as I head waist deep -- and it's a large waist at that! -- into toddler clothing and storage boxes and start sucking on a big bottle of water to keep me from thinking about what my next snack will be.
