1. When I see someone call Cant_Wait, CW, I think of the CW network. And somehow it's appropriate. Our own board fetus probably relates well to all that, plus I figure that people who love Twilight love all things CW.

2. This is hard for me to share and I won't even tell DH. I weigh over 200 pounds now. I know that it's all for good, but I can't help but think of how disgusting I am for weighing that much. My average for so many years was 60 pounds less than that but a combination of lack of exercise and eating on the road over the last few years really packed on the pounds. Add on pregnancy...and I just feel like someone should put me in a circus sideshow.

    Complain all you want about the hassles of being pregnant, but it's a number on a scale and it includes a baby, so get over it.

    agreed. My peak pregnancy weight was 230.  I'm 5'10", and a lot of it was belly (plus, certainly, some swelling).

    Still, I will admit to feeling giant and VERY heavy. 

    In a related note, I have REALLY been enjoying taking the stairs to my third-floor office since I got back to work.  No way was I slugging up even 2 flights with that giant belly, but now I feel like a little sprite, even though I have another 25 or 30 pounds to get to any kind of real goal weight.

    WOW, zsa.

    FWIW PMeg, I got really, really, really close to that number.  I cringed when the nurse who weighed me announced it in front of DH, because at that point I was actually heavier than he was.

    It's none of my beeswax whether you BF or not, but in my case, when I did, I lost all that and then some within weeks.  So take comfort in the fact that it's only temporary.

    I know it's temporary, I know it's a number. I actually eat pretty good most days but that doesn't negate the fact that when you see the number climb at every visit it shocks you a little. I almost never weighed myself before getting pregnant, I'd go on how I felt and how my clothes fit. I knew beforehand that I wasn't at a great weight for me personally, but when I got knocked up, I wasn't about to start dieting and working out like crazy.

    Would it make you feel better to know that I am not carrying a child and weigh 230? PMeg can never be less than awesome, so there's always that.

    I felt the same way.  The rational side knows why and all, but the irrational side thinks it's a bummer.

    And it's still pretty exciting to see the scale drop afterward, even though you know it's baby/placenta/fluid. 

    I'm sure BFing helps, but I had similar BFing experiences with Dex & Des - never did get rid of the last 15 pounds of Dex weight but dropped my Des weight and then some like magic.  It was weird.

    i topped 2 bills (210, i think was the final number) with Miles.

    but, i did lose about 25 lbs in the course of 29 hours of labor (including baby).  so that made me feel a bit better.

    CW does air America's Next Top Model, so I do love it. That's pretty much all it gives me, though.
