So, I'm NOT Having a 20 Pound Baby?

I only gained 9 ounces in two weeks...so sayeth my doctor. Woo! Now THAT'S more like it, people.

Everything looked right on track at the appointment. The doc measured the belly, felt around for the head and positioning, and had a little chat with the boy-to-be. All in all, a fairly uneventful appointment. Nothing to see here...move along, move along.

However, before she kicked us to the curb, I asked my pre-written post-it note questions and she answered them succinctly:

1) Do I have to sleep on my left side? Well, yes, but not completely rolled over, if that's uncomfortable. Just prop yourself up with a pillow. A slight angle is fine.

2) Do I have a weird cancerous lump in my breast? Hmm...probably not, but let's make a note of it and check to see if it has changed in two weeks. It's hard to discern with your breasts being 9 months pregnant.

3) Any recommendations on a pediatrician? Someone I need to bribe? Nope...they're all great. However, there were a few mentioned...no hints. I want him/her all to myself. And she/he has to be tolerant of major anxiety and/or speak the language of crazy fluently.
