Firstly, let me say that although I have apparently turned into a big wad of bubble gum, I think I must look different in person. More dignified, I’m sure. And now down to business, I measure 11 squares today. Now before anybody starts calling and asking if I’m still eating enough (I had a hot fudge sundae last night after two dinners) and what the doctor thinks about me shrinking (she always praises my weight gain and encourages me to add more walks) and whether the baby is moving as much as before when I was gaining squares (Maggiver was positively trying to punt the hymnal in church this week), here’s what’s happening: The child is stretching out, instead of bunching up. This means that I’m not getting any rounder from side to side, but I’m still getting bigger from top to bottom. According to the doctor’s measurements, from week 34 to week 36 I gained 2 inches of top-to-bottom-ness (so much more mundane than toilet paper, isn’t it?). See? Growth still definitely occurring.

i totally respect the hot fudge sunday after 2 dinners. way to go Gretch…..
if the dr familiar with toilet paper measurement…it seems more interesting than her top to bottom and side-to-side stuff.
