There is nothing I would want more than to le you all know since you have been a nice support for me. I don't have any friends or family around who ask about my pregnancy/less seem to care and it is nice when someone opens their arms to me. Ahhh, I am in the nesting mode and feeling all warm inside. LOL. I am 12 days until I am due. Thank goodness for my doula who is a pediatic nurse practitioner. She is awesome and we have hit it off so great.
Just to let you know that I am under some stress not bad stress but I guess good stress. My husband just got a really great job offer to go to California and we have to move there by the end of the year. We have to sell a house, find a place out there plus move plus have a baby and everything else. We just moved here to Virginia a year ago and we are already packing up again so that I why I seem a bit nervous and needy lately. I wanted to give you a background of where I am coming from. Thanks for listening.

Great!! Sounds like you are right on regarding the weight gain.
I can imagine that you are stressed about the move.
Ya know, it's no wonder you are craving sweets, Jenn. Stressed spelled backwards is desserts.
Betcha you look like this:
