Week 24/25 and a rant

How far along? 24w4d weeks
Total weight gain/loss: I think I'm at about +30. So not too bad. I asked my OB about my weight gain and he said it was nothing to be concerned about, especially with my weight gain with Gabriella. He told me that weight gain during pregnancy is mainly genetic and he thinks that if I'm making good choices food wise (I am) that there's nothing I can do about it. He went as far as to say that he thinks that if I was on 1200 cals a day I would still probably gain about 35-40lbs, its just how my body functions during pregnancy.
Maternity clothes? Yes
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: Chris has been allowed back into the bed and thus far I'm sleeping just fine!
Best moment this week: Having my parents and sister in town!
Movement: Yes, she has her quiet days and then her more active days
Food cravings: Everything!
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? In
What I miss: The fam, of course. Its always hard to see them go.
What I am looking forward to: Yoga tomorrow night. I skipped Saturday's class b/c of the fam's visit.
Milestones: V-DAY!

So my parents and sister were here for 4th of July weekend and we had a wonderful time. Gabriella absolutely adores them - YES, more than Chris's parents. She's SUPER attached to my parents even though they are far away. Its just different. If you could see the interaction, you would understand.

I agreed to dinner with my ILs...I know, what was I thinking, but alas it was to placate my husband and I was in a "lets just get it over with" mentality, so that I don't have to do this for a long time. Well, my MIL stooped pretty low in her insults this weekend. The convo went like this:

Bitch pats my stomach: Are you sure there's not 2 in there?
Me: No, there's just one
Bitch (talking to baby): Just how big are you going to be?!
Me (annoyed): I'm not really all that bigger right now than I was with Gabriella at this point.
Bitch: Oh I don't know about that, you look A LOT bigger to me.

If anyone knows how much I hate my MIL, you'll all understand why this comment is so inappropriate. I effing hate her. Oh, and let me add that she said this to me in front of my own mother, who was left just as speechless as I was.
