On Thursday morning (11/3), I had my 3rd prenatal check-up.  It was pretty routine.  We heard Kumquat’s heartbeat with the Doppler and it was a strong 150 bpm.  The interesting part of the visit was when I told her that I had gained 3 pounds so far.  Doctor informed me that I should have gained more than that by now (at 16 weeks) so she advised me to eat more calorie-dense foods (peanut butter, ice cream, etc.) and not to worry as much about eating all my veggies and stuff.  In other words, she looked at Jes and implied that he needed to help fatten me up.  Haha.  It’s like a girl’s dream but I felt kinda sick thinking about it.  How ironic.

Luckily, that same evening, I had McWino Night planned with the girls.  It’s our spin on Happy Hour that started one night when Teresa and I ended up on the roof of my building with wine and junk food.  It later evolved to a night on the roof with McDonald’s and bottles of wine. For this go-around, we had to move it indoors since it had rained earlier in the day.

We also added nachos to the menu this time in order to celebrate the end our hospital audit.

While I was telling the girls about how I had to fatten up, I found a baby McNugget.  Isn’t it cute?  I thought so…and it was delicious.  At the end of the night, we used FaceTime to hangout with Ranee too.  Good times…
