All Good in the Hood

We just got finished with our November doctor's appointment.  I really wasn't thinking about what I wear to the doctor's office and how that can (and probably did) affect my weight.  I am wearing my boots today and I had on my coat and this nurse gave me a look like, "I know you're not about to waste my time taking all that stuff off."  So, I hopped on the scale with boots and coat on and what do you know...I'm up NINE pounds from last month!  Hey, I'm not denying a weight gain but I certainly don't feel like it was NINE pounds.  I wanted to ask for a re-do before we left but she had disappeared and you know I'd probably break the thing trying to turn it on and Jeff was ready to go...so I'm up a total of 14 pounds since August.  Any bets at what I'll be in December?

So, after she weighed me we went in the exam room and she was trying to check the baby's heartbeat.  Just when we'd start to hear it, it would stop...personally I think she should have left that wand on the spot where she picked it up but she thought my stomach was a race track and that little wand was her match car so she was zooming all around my belly.  She finally got a "decent" reading but she didn't seem happy with it.  Way to go Ricky Bobby!  Maybe if you'd slow down a little and focus in on the BABY you'd get a decent reading.  I wish Bren had been with me to tell this lady to stick to what she knows (that's a Juno reference for all you non-Juno lovers out there).  The "disappointing reading" was 144 and to quote the nurse, "You've got a floppy baby!"  She left and I looked at Jeff and said, "We've got a floppy baby."  He looked at me funny and said, "I thought that's what she said." 

So, all is well in the womb and we'll go back in December. 

Bren:  Oh, you think you're so special because you get to play Picture Pages up there?  Well, my five year old daughter could do that and let me tell you, she's not the brightest bulb in the tanning bed.  So why don't you go back to night school in Mantino and learn a real trade. 

Juno:  Bren!  You's a dick!  I love it!

Thank you...and scene.
