As many of you know my husband lives for making himself laugh and surrounds himself with people and things that make him laugh. Hence why he chose me as his spouse. He is forever laughing at the things I say, do, or little tricks that he plays on me just to get a reaction. Today like most days was no different.
I dread the weigh in part of my my doctor visits as most women do. Although my pregnancy has been great, I have not enjoyed the added weight one bit. It is very hard to be okay with gaining weight - a total mind shift from how any of us think. It's hard to reprogram your thinking for 9 months.
So...we went to the Dr. today and they had me do the usual - step up on the scale. For the first time I commented that I couldn't see my weight. I had to lean forward a bit to actually see it. What I saw alarmed me to tears. If I was remembering correctly my weight from my last appointment (2 weeks prior) had gone up 30 some pounds. I could hardly believe it. I started sobbing immediately. I looked at Kevin who was having the complete opposite reaction - he was laughing hysterically. I kept crying, he kept laughing and I honestly was stumped for a minute. The nurse finally asked me to look down at the scale again. This time there was unfortunately a weight gain, but no where near 30 lbs. You see Kevin thought it would be funny to step on the back of the scale to add extra pounds to my overall weight. I had no idea what he was up to. I was so stunned that I just stood there crying and not moving. The nurse really didn't help either when she commented while standing next to me, "Wow Mrs. Kelli you have gained a lot of weight." Thanks so much hun and nurse Linda for your love and support.
Needless to say the hub is in the dog house. I hope he learned a valuable lesson today - never, never put more emphasis on your wife's pregnancy weight gain.
