128.8 lbs.2 pounds heavier than last week. Still less than my pre-wedding weight. In fact, this weight would have made me really happy 6 months ago.
But I'm pretty sure the two pounds I gained is mostly due to extreme constipation. Yummy! It could be partially due eating lots of cheese and chocolate this week, but with the bloating and cramping I feel, I'm sure a lot of heaviness is because I haven't had a good poop since December 9th when I first took the pregnancy test.
Ever since my period was late several weeks ago something got messed up with my #2 cycle. I was concerned only because I poop like clockwork after my Starbucks every morning. So this was another indicator to me that I might be pregnant.
Literally 5 minutes after we saw the positive pregnancy test results on December 9th, I had the extreme urge to go.
When I came back to bed, while we were freaking out about the impending baby, I announced, "Haha, I'm literally scared sh*tless!"
This actually broke the ice and made us stop freaking out for a moment because we started having one of our silly bickering fights...it went something like this.
"Babe, I'm scared sh*tless! That's so funny! That actually happens!"
"No, if you were scared sh*tless, you wouldn't be able to sh*t. Like, all of a sudden, there would be no sh*t."
"You're totally wrong. The expression came about because you lose your bowels when you're really scared. Even when you die, you just sh*t. It just happens."
"No, you're wrong."
This went on for a little while longer and I partially thought my husband was just arguing for arguments sake, but I wasn't sure whether he was trying to bother me or actually that mistaken. Finally, my best argument came to me:
"Then why do people say 'That scared the crap out of me'?"
"That's different."
This time he was joking. He knew I proved him wrong. And it was hilarious. To us.
Now I'm just hoping that the anxiety I'm feeling about having our first OB appointment on Wednesday inspires a nice poop between now and then :(
