No placenta pills, beverages or stews for this gal
Once Cameron's here, I'll continue taking my prenatals as I plan to BF and focus on a healthy diet and getting enough fluid intake
But omigosh I was so craving Cracker Barrel pancakes with maple syrup just the other day!!! No excess sugar for me this week tho
We went to Menchies yesterday evening and I got frozen sorbet thinking it'd be ok and come to find out it actually has tons of sugar
Oh well... I've been doing good avoiding sugared drinks and junk food so far...
Kenna omigosh your bump is sooo cute! Once Pam puts us all out of our anticipation here then you're next followed by Jess, am I right ladies?
Happy 9 weeks Mary!
Cheryl did you post your bumpdate on BnB for this week? I don't think I saw it
30 flippin' weeks today... holy crap!
I'm getting a bit uncomfortable, like overall. My back is aching more, my feet and ankles swell, I have a hard time getting comfortable in bed, I get random aches and pains in my midsection, I've been burning up during the day and night and I lose energy quickly. But... I love feeling Cameron's little limbs poking out more and more, feeling him twist and turn and responding to my touch! I stuck my bare belly against OH's bare side this morning in bed and Cameron was kicking and punching away on his dad
And it's awesome because he can definitely feel it now. He always wraps his arm around me from behind when we lay in bed and holds his hand over my belly to feel for kicks... and usually always gets some. My mom ordered all of our bedding/accessories yesterday as well as the dresser and changer topper. It should all arrive to us next Thursday
Hopefully we will have the crib piece by then and can put everything together! Final birthing class this eve and we get to tour the hospital maternity/postpartum wings. Baby-Q in four days and my next prenatal appointment is in a week. My 3 hour GD test is this Saturday at 7:30am then I'm getting my nails done and a pedi to pamper myself a bit before the shower. Ahhhh so much going on!
I was planning on encapsulating but talked to my doula about it and she believes firmly it doesn't do much for you. There are two reasons why you would encapsulate: hormones to ward off PPD or nutrition. She told me if I'm worried about PPD then bio-identical hormones are actually proven to work and that would be my best bet. And a juicing plan is best for nutrition as it too is actually proven to work and we have a postpartum delivery service in town. She convinced me immediately! I don't plan on doing anything with it. She said "the reason mammals eat theirs is to hide evidence of birth and vulnerable young.. Not for some nutritional benefit we just don't understand!" I thought that was interesting and made sense!
I experience that every other day pretty sure!
Why am I being tortured????????
