Midwife meeting

[deuxceleste]

A just left!

We had such a nice visit... Leukocytes are a little high but I'm sick right now. BP normal (a tad high for me, but still normal), baby is head down

Growth is at 31 cm, I'm 35 weeks... it's a little small but still measuring 1 cm per week since last visit in January. She kept telling me how tiny I am, but that it's "all baby."

I also have a little bit better feel now for the things I have left to do before baby gets here, to prepare for the actual birth. I'm going to blow up that tub soon, and in a while we'll do a practice run with hoses, etc. to fill up pool, and drain it. I still need to go get hoses and draining stuff, but that shouldn't be a big deal... just need to motivate myself to GO TO LOWE'S!!

For those of you who have been asking, she also gave me a few pointers on how to deal with the stresses that I've been facing lately... nothing I haven't REALLY done, but still good to hear someone else's thoughts and perspective on things, and that I'm not the only one dealing with them.

That's all for now... I have to go look up freezable foods Good thing I actually feel like baking and cooking today... just don't feel like going to the grocery store.

I'm glad you had a good meeting with your new MW!
I remember when I saw a MW after seen OBs, it was such a great feeling and made stress so much less!

You said you are sick? What kind of sick? cold kind of sick? Make a big lasagna and save me a piece !

Sore throat and cold sick. Threw up thrice (yes, I said thrice) last night. And feel like it again today.

Just feel generally weird... crampy, sore throat, etc...


Lasagna is yours, me'love.

I'm so glad things are working out with this new midwife! What a relief it must be for you. And how exciting that you can finally concentrate on the BIRTH rather than the drama (well, at least SOME of the drama)

Be sure you know EXACTLY what kind of connector you need for your faucet...Arwyn and a couple of other local mamas that are due to give birth soon were just chatting about what a hard time they had finding adapters that would work. I think Arwyn said it took her 3 trips...and that Home Depot didn't have drinking-quality hoses (I guess you need that vs. a garden hose?) and she had to get it them at the RV dept. of a local mega store.

So glad you had a nice appointment! Hope you get over the yucky sick stuff ASAP!!!!

[deuxceleste]

Thank you! She's wonderful! I'm so glad we got along so well.

Feeling crappy today, but a little better.

[Island_Mama]

We must be pregnancy twins or something, we have been right on with symptoms and school stuff, money stress, man stress etc.

I am feeling crappy too, I couldn't figure out if allergies or sick, but I am pretty sure it is sickness cuz (TMI) mucus is not clear.
when my boyfriend got home at like 6am I was miserable with my sore throat and he made me lemon and honey. I was supposed to log on to my online class at 8 and slept right through it!

I am feeling better today also. Hope we both keep feeling better!

[deuxceleste]

Awwww I want someone to make me lemon n' honey...

But my boyfriend just brought me fast food. Does that count? Am I terrible?

I LOVE having a twin! (Although I'm sorry you're sick!)
