Yesterday at the midwives I weighed in and it looks like I’m up thirty eight pounds. EEK!
I already know that once I have this kid I’ve got to figure out something in terms of losing the pregnancy weight and then some!
One idea might be to get a Precor elliptical! Of course, the one issue might be that our house is so small and with all of the added baby stuff — there might not be room for workout gear!
When we were starting up my business we really worked hard on creating a logo for the business branding, business cards, brochures, and letterhead. We thought an important part would be getting the word out but also having something that would link consulting and caregivers into one small logo.
In the long run I think we should have gone with a logo design firm that mastered the art of marketing! We spent way too much time trying to do it ourselves.
LogoYes.com has an easy to use website where you can design your own logo and even make a whole marketing plan designed specifically with your business in mind.
The time is flying by now. Of course, my to-do list keeps getting longer and longer! I think that each night Margot keeps adding things to my list. The last thing being “Have a baby.” She figures as long as I have things on my list…I can’t have the baby!
Not quite sure if it works that way.
I’ve been feeling pretty good. I must admit that I love being pregnant and I’m going to miss it when little girl actually gets here! It’s amazing to feel her moving inside of me and each time she twirls or kicks I know how fortunate I am to be able to experience this.
That’s one thing that infertility has taught me along the way. Treasure every moment and never ever take your children for granted. In fact, when Graem was born - her birth was such a miracle and so emotional it’s something that I know I’ll hold dear for the rest of my life.
(Can you tell I’m overly hormonal these days?)
I have a midwife appointment in a few minutes and I have a few things to bring up including:
1. Hemorrhoids - ew.
2. Cankles and sausage fingers
3. Thyroid
4. Pressure down under
5. How’s baby laying in my belly?
6. How big is baby?
7. Cervix check - ouch.
Margot’s going to be on the road for out of town meetings so we figure we should get a gauge on what’s going on with Emmy to make sure she’s not trying to get out early! One option was for me to travel with Margot but my tolerance and patience these days is pretty limited and I’m not sure that sitting in a car would be too good for my circulation issues.
Graem’s getting excited about seeing her little sister. She talks about her constantly and last night we had a conversation about bunk beds and how she would sleep on the top bunk and Emerson would sleep on the bottom. She had a great time at the sibling class this weekend at the hospital and it was a chance for her to see a real newborn baby in the nursery and see the room where I would be delivering and staying.
Here are some belly shots. Yes, the belly keeps getting bigger and I think at this point it’s gone up as much as it can and I think it’s started extending horizontally now!
Now that’s a serious buddha belly!
Only 41 days. Yikes.
The ongoing antics of two thirty-something *gasp* mamas raising our three-year-old daughter and adding another baby girl to the mix.
