And this is me now:
Big difference, huh? I think so anyways. I really feel like my belly has really popped out just in the past week. Even though I'm only up by 6 1/2 lbs, I'm definitely starting to feel pregnant now!
In other news, I had a good prenatal appointment with my midwife, Jayme, a couple of weeks ago. Belly is measuring right on target and baby's heart rate is in the 140s. Jesse had to get in on the action too...we had a listen to his baby with the doppler and measured his teeny tiny belly. He loved it. I got told off for not eating enough, so I'm trying to work on that. In my defense though, I had been sick and really hadn't felt like eating much at all. Some food had actually been making me gag. I also need to up my water intake, which I've been working on as well. It was also suggested that I add some spinach to my smoothies, which I've been doing. You don't even notice a difference! It's pretty good actually. I should post the recipe. I'm going to try some avacado in it tomorrow as well, I think.
I also had a prenatal appointment with Dr. D, who damn near broke my heart when she told me should would not be acting as back up for Jayme. She explained her reasoning, which is fine. I just wish I'd been told sooner, as I've been going to her clinic for 3 months now. So tomorrow I'm calling Jayme's usual back-up, Dr. M. I've worked with him before, as a doula, and he's absolutely wonderful, so I'm sure I'll be taken care of. Before she cut me loose though, Dr. D suggested I start on ASA 81 mg per day and calcium 1000 mg per day to ward off any issues with pregnancy-induced hypertention or pre-eclampsia. I had some blood pressure issues with Jesse, so I'd like to do what I can to prevent that this time. I need to look into it a bit more though before I start taking meds.
And lastly, I've been asked by a couple people about my newborn cloth diaper stash. So I figured I'd share what I have thus far. In the first pic, you'll see a dozen unbleached prefolds, 16 bleached prefolds, a small Bumstoppers fitted, 2 WAHM one-size fitteds, a small Imse Vimse cover and 2 small Swaddlebees covers. In the second pic, you'll see 9 small Fuzzi Bunz (these were Jesse's), 3 Swaddlebees Econappies, and a Bum Genius 4.0 snap dipe. I'm still waiting on 2 Blueberry Coveralls (one-size covers) to come in the mail.
I cannot wait to try these dipes out on Trouble! Oh the cuteness! :) I think I'll wait before getting more though...who knows, I may end up with a reason to buy some adorable girly fluff!
