32 Weeks

Today, I am 32 weeks pregnant.

And while I won't know for sure until my doctor's appointment this afternoon, I'm fairly certain I weigh what I did just before I gave birth to my other kids.

That means I'm on track to set an all-time new high-weight record for me.

(Do you like my new camera? It's just a different version of the Canon Powershot I've had the last two years. But this one actually FOCUSES. And it has a ton of other cool upgrades. I thought about splurging and buying a D-SLR, but in the end, I decided I needed something smaller that I can easily carry in my purse and that I needed my camera to shoot video. A few D-SLRs can do that now, but they are uber-expensive.)

(Sorry for the sidebar. But I love having a camera that works. Happy happy.)

I might not look it to you, but I feel HUGE.

I'm not a person to obsess over weight, but the fact that I've added pounds so quickly this time concerns me. It certainly explains why I feel full-term exhausted and immobile. I wrote more about it at 5 Minutes for Parenting today.

Is it just the fact that I'm older? That this is my fourth baby? That my winter diet is much richer and treat-laden than normal? Am I gestating a 12-pound baby?

(Oh look! Feet!)

Can't say for sure. What's your experience? Did you tend to gain more weight with subsequent pregnancies? Or did it just depend?
