The Last Hurrah

Zephan is on a four day weekend that ends tomorrow.  And then he works ten days in a row.  And then we leave to go to a Be In Health conference in Georgia.  And then we'll be in Rolla for the rest of the summer.  Meanwhile, I have a monster paper to finish and turn in on Thursday.  And then I'll be packing, packing, packing.  :)

We've been trying to smooth out some details, so we spent yesterday in Rolla looking at basements and interviewing midwives.  It. was. exhausting.  But now we have some ducks in a row.

We saw our midwife here in Columbia for the last time this morning, which makes three midwives in 24 hours.  It was a pretty sad thing.  She told me that I had a beautiful belly.  Everything looks fabulous.  I've gained 9 pounds in the last three weeks. (!).  We'll miss her.

Midwife 2/15

We had an appointment with our midwife this morning.  She says the baby must have read the book.  I got blood drawn last week and everything is looking perfectly normal!

I also turned in the food journal that I did a couple of weeks ago.  Who knew that oatmeal cookies could cause so much trouble?  She says that I should try to limit myself to one treat a day and eat it with a meal or something with protein to avoid crazy spikes in my blood sugar.  This comes with a promise of no headaches and a healthier baby. *sigh*

Also, apparently everything that Zephan likes is fabulous.  I've been told to eat like he does. I don't want to. 

Our birthing classes start tomorrow night.  The topic this time is nutrition and exercise.  Maybe I'll be inspired.

The highlight of midwife days is that afterward we always go to Clover's and we always get some healthy snack that's on sale for Katie.  Previously, this has been Kombucha and Spritzers.  Today: flavored peanut butter packets and potatoes (not for snacking).
