Third Trimester Update

Man, asking the intarwebs what an appropriate level of weight gain is at this point in pregnancy is just opening the door to catastrophic madness.

Bathliness is next to godliness.

Fishie wishes to be upgraded to "badger". Ow.

Appropriate weight gain depends in large part on your body size and shape prior to pregnancy anyway. (As one data point, I gained ~30 lb total.) *Rate* of gain is more important, mostly b/c a rapid gain can be a sign of preeclampsia (and too slow can be a sign of other problems).

I'll make sure to never search the intarwebs for that sort of thing. I'm going to assume final baby: 3-4kg; placenta and stuff: more kg; if I'm feeling good: good.

Actually, I came by to show you this. I seem to remember you like pythons.

There's a part of me that wonders if it is a preparation for "Any future searches of the Intarwebs about anything child related should be done by typing on your computer with an 11 foot pole and having a trusted person with hip-boots wade through the crazy over-reactions to you."

(This is a topic insufficiently studied in the library literature, incidentally.)

I'd say that unless you have another set of buttcheeks and two chins, you're doing pretty good.
