Same as last time!

Well, I just pulled out my journal from my pregnancy with Lena. Guess what it said at my 24 week appointment?
Saw Dr. H everything looks good. I measured "big" so in 4 weeks we will do an U/S to see what is going on.
then again at 28 weeks:
Still measuring 4 weeks ahead
30 weeks
I am scheduled for another u/s with Dr. h on the 29th (@34 weeks) Still measuring big for 30 weeks.
32 weeks
Still measuring about 3-4 weeks ahead
34 week Ultrasound
They said she was measuring 37-38 weeks in size, 5.9lbs- 6.1lbs And breech.

that is when they told me she would be about 9-10lbs at birth! She weighed 6lbs 15oz and was only 19" long.

So, in other words, this seems normal compared to my last pregnancy. I am not too concerned about it. I remember even my co-workers telling me how huge I looked from one week to the next. I am going to show this to my midwife and say SEE!!!! It's ok!

24 weeks and HUGE!

I gained 3 lbs, making it a 10lbs total for the entire pregnancy. Which I feel is great. But I feel like I was made to feel guilty about it. She only wants me to gain 2lbs a month till the end. 6-8 more lbs!  I don't think she was THAT concerned about the weight gain until she measured me. HOLY CRAP. I measured between 27-28 weeks! I am 24w4d. So now, I get to seriously watch what I eat, exercise as much as I can and hope that I don't keep measuring 3-4 weeks ahead. I said I did the same thing with Lena and she came out small. Whatever.
On the 12th I go in to test for the Rh- stuff and then she said I might as well do the glucose test then too. She said it's a preliminary, so no fasting, and one hour wait. From that they will see if I need to do the fasting one.
Also at 30 weeks she will order an u/s to check the babies size again and where my placenta is, see if it's moved.
