I really enjoy my bi-weekly trips to
see the midwife during the 3rd Trimester.
It gets to be routine and enjoyable.
For instance;
Sunny gets excited about seeing
"Baby on TV!"
or
"Baby says, 'Tick tock, tick tock!"
(she compares the heartbeat sound to that of a clock)
She always demands her little pink cup
with her name on it- just like Mommy!
And Sunshine never fails to make friends and share
the toys with everyone in the waiting area- young or old.
My last visit I drank about a gallon of that nasty sugar sludge
and gave up my blood for testing
(you might as well give it up since they will take it from you anyways...
that and your urine... they are so greedy!).
The results were anemic. ANEMIC?!
OK
So now I'm taking an iron supplement and tweaking my
menus to include more greens and red meat.
What do you think? I haven't been as tired
and I noticed that my swelling calmed.
Sweet! Though I still can't manage my rings. :(
Cravings Update:
Mocha anything
Dark chocolate
Backwoods cigars
French vanilla coffee (pref. DD)
You read right; CIGARS.
I smell them and then I want to eat them.
I had this strange craving with Sunny's pregnancy as well.
While doing my chocolate tasting last week,
I noticed that my favorite "flavor" of chocolates were
the tobacco and forest ones. Hmm.
FYI
I have not smoked. Ever.
Baby Stats:
Baby is about 3 lbs.
Kicks a lot!
Started with some hefty hiccups last week.
Starting to gain pudges :)
