Dreading Doctor Appointments!

The one thing I dread about the monthly doctor appointments is the weight check. I gain weight a little faster than I should and at 22 weeks, I'm definitely higher than I would like to be. I know this, don't need a nurse or doctor telling me this. So, at my 22 week doctor appointment this afternoon (conveniently after lunch), I had to "weigh in". I had my excuse ready..."I was doing great until last week and then vacation did me in" which would then divert his attention to what we did on vacation. Turns out, I didn't even have to use my excuse. He said weight was fine and it wasn't worth lecturing about weight gain since it would hinder more than help. There was little point in making a pregnant woman feel bad about how much weight she's gained when she's already aware of it anyway. Thank you Dr. Bryz-Gornia! I knew I loved ya!
