A game?


Okay, let's play a little game, shall we? It's gloomy here (outside), and it'd be nice to have something to brighten things up, so let's play "Guess Paige's Weight".

Every Monday, a huge rolling scale is brought into my room and my weight is checked. I wear my clothes and slippers and keep my TOCO monitor on.

By way of background:

-Before I got pregnant with Buggy, I weighed 124 pounds. I am 5'8.

-My total weight gain with Cayden was 20 pounds, though he was born at 32 weeks.

-I continue to eat grilled cheese for lunch nearly every day, along with a salad. And a more than occasional slice of chocolate cake.

-I make approximately 6-8 trips to the bathroom each day. Otherwise, I am in bed. (I give you this stat for you to consider calories burned, not because I think you care how often I go to the bathroom!)

So, dear friends, enter your guesses as to this week's weight in your comment and whomever gets closest (to the pound) will...will...well, I can't exactly run to the shops or the post office to buy and mail you something, but at least you'll have the satisfaction of knowing you won. Also, I promise, I won't be offended by your guesses:) And Sarah, Sally, and Carly-you can't play because you already know the answer!

Update: People, please consider the fact that I've been flat on my side in bed for 4 weeks now, but eating like a normal pregnant woman. Andria and Melis, you're too, too kind. But not even close;)

I guess that you actually weigh LESS than you did before. I'm going with 122!

Well, someone has to mix it up!

So I'm wrong then...

Shucks!

OK I'm going for 150!

Melis said...

When will we find out if we are right? But, I guess you already said that we are not right; Can I guess again? I'm gonna say that you've gained an even 25 so far, so that puts you at 149.

OK I tried to look up on line how much the monitor weighs. It said it is lightweight about 4 pounds, but I don't know if it is the same one or if you have the whole device on you or only part. That in mind, I am guessing you are at 155. If you are laying on your left side then, you will go to the bathroom more often which means you have less water weight...So much to think about.

Alright I am going to say 165 you can't hate me for this. Love your brother!

N said...

I would guess 153 ??

Jocelyn said...

okay now I know you won't be offended. I am thinking 162. But really it's no big deal I gained 70lb with Sadie and I was NOT on bedrest just ate lots of Ice cream why, well because I was pregnant!

Love ya!

you are too cute paige. honestly i saw you in person and wouldn't say you looked like you've gained that much, just a bit more of a rounder face! i cannot believe that you only gained 20 pounds with cayden! wow. i gained 50 with lev and still have about 20 of it left over (probably 25-30 in all truth)...i'll say 150?!@

151 is my guess.

I am taking into consideration the lunar pull and the frequency of earthquakes increasing around the world and realize that this makes no difference to you in SF, so I will guess 153. If I am to high on my guess, eat some more cake and put it on my tab.
