Doctor Update & Pregnancy Fashion

<h3><b><span style="color: #674ea7;"><i>Doctor Update</i></span></b></h3>I got to see one of my favorite doctors yesterday for my 38 week appointment. <br /><br />She told me I was looking great, and as of right now she did not see a reason for me to be a candidate for a c-section.  Even though I gained 5 lbs this week, she said she feels it's probably just water-weight - especially judging from my puffy feet and hands.  All vitals are still doing well (i.e. no high pressure = no preeclampsia).  She also told me she saw no reason for me to have another rate-of-growth ultrasound.  So she basically said all of the exact opposite as to what the unkind doctor told me.  Who is right?  I guess we'll find out soon enough.  I just pray that the nice doctor does know what she's talking about and isn't just a bad doctor, ya know?<br /><br />On another note, do you like how easily I glossed over a 5 lbs weight gain in a week?!  Oh how times have changed from the weight loss days!  Now certainly, soon enough I'll be back to being committed to seeing a downward motion in those numbers, but for right now, I honestly don't care.  I just want her out and healthy, and preferably sooner rather than later :). <br /><br /><h3><span style="color: #674ea7;"><i>Pregnancy Fashion</i></span></h3>This "fashion" thing is kind of a joke.  Well, not "kind of", it <i>is</i>. <br /><br />Thanks to the ability for me to work from home these last several weeks of my pregnancy, I have been able to be super comfortable with the clothing I wear.  In other words, I pretty much wear some type of exercise pant with a t-shirt every single day.  Remarkably, many of my 5K t-shirts still fit me.  Wellllll, I should use "fit" as a relative term.  They go on and cover my torso, but they are tight!<br /><br />Since most of my pregnancy was spent during the winter months (thank you Jesus!), much of my maternity wardrobe was catered to colder temps.  I did try to buy some versatile pieces, but overall much of my clothing was long sleeved and knit material.  I have exactly 1 maternity t-shirt that I bought, and I've been able to get by with that and my 5K tees.<br /><br />But since it is June, and as a pregnant lady I am running much hotter than I normally would be, I finally had Joel dig out some shorts for me today (we use those vacuum seal bags to store seasonal clothes).  Ahhhh the cotton shorts - it's so nice not to have my legs completely covered!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="color: #666666;"><here comes="" fashion="" part="" that=""></here></span></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">You know what else makes for a great maternity t-shirt?  Under Armor shirts!  Actually, I only own one shirt of that brand, but I own many of those silky, breathable t-shirts.  They have been AMAZING for me during these hotter temps.  </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG0yBbZvFPcpyxDat1StIOtq97cNUbu3HG2GdC2BGk7iuIaSfHB4zK5JSLVQUdpKDuPYGNwC5KqhLR9JGkESJEyxJQKCVnQsLDkkuGLwezjnQVBHf-TYpZCbEeGA6BGDCuuCHWH8cza9A/s1600/sept+maternity+tshirt.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG0yBbZvFPcpyxDat1StIOtq97cNUbu3HG2GdC2BGk7iuIaSfHB4zK5JSLVQUdpKDuPYGNwC5KqhLR9JGkESJEyxJQKCVnQsLDkkuGLwezjnQVBHf-TYpZCbEeGA6BGDCuuCHWH8cza9A/s400/sept+maternity+tshirt.JPG" width="262" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">They're nice and long to cover the belly, and they help wick away the pregnancy-induced sweating.   The one I'm wearing above is from Joel's brother's annual <a href="http://the-big-weight.blogspot.com/2011/09/first-annual-st-marys-county.html" target="_blank">Septathalon Event</a>.  </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><span style="color: #674ea7;">What was one of your favorite things to wear when pregnant?  If you've never been pregnant, what is one of your favorite, most comfy thing to wear anyhow?</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
