6 Pounds and 5 Inches in 4 Weeks??

My doctor's visit yesterday was an eye opener. I gained 6 pounds and my fundal height increased by 5 inches in 4 weeks. Considering I've gained only 13 pounds overall, my doctor wasn't too worried. It was when she measured my stomach, I got the "look". She measured me at 32.5 inches and told me that this could be a bigger baby than Allie (GULP!). Some good news: my ankles are still normal, my glucose test came back normal, and I can't see any stretch marks, so far. I will start seeing my doctor every 2 weeks for the next month and then weekly. She did tell me that she'll schedule my c-section for the week before my due date. So we are planning to have the baby around Sept. 20. We decided on the name Melanie since Allie is telling everyone that's the name of "our baby". It wouldn't matter what we named her, Allie would call her Melanie.

We took Allie to see her first movie at the theater today. We saw "The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland" and ate popcorn. She did really well and stayed in her seat most of the time. However, the novelty of the experience wore off about 30 minutes into the movie. We'll see how she does the next time.
