Seriously. I think I weigh more than Mike Tyson.

177. That's 33 pounds gained in 35 weeks. That's a big number. No wonder everything is creaking and I'm waddling around like a sea lion.

I went from 172 to 177 in 3 weeks, making my weight gain a very hefty 1.5 pounds a week...and that's rounding DOWN.

The doc said that I was within "the range," whatever that may be, and have gained about 33 pounds in my almost 9 months of being an incubator. I was shocked to hear that number so soon...33 pounds. YOWZA.

"Oh, you'll just have to lose more later. That's all. It's perfectly fine." She smiled as she measured my belly. "You're measuring great and everything looks terrific."

I think I may pass out when I finally get to 10 months. That's right...I said it...TEN MONTHS. I figured that one out the first month I was pregnant when I was counting down the weeks in my calendar.

So to recap:

Start weight 144

153 - 18 weeks - 9 pounds gained - 0.5 pound a week

164 - 24 weeks - 20 pounds gained - 0.54 pound a week

169 - 28 weeks - 25 pounds gained - 1.25 pounds a week

172 - 32 weeks - 28 pounds gained - 0.75 pound a week

177 - 35 weeks - 33 pounds gained - 1.6 pounds a week
