Well today make me 30 weeks and 3 days
pregnant.
I went to see my midwife yesterday and was
a little freaked out!!!
My blood work came back and the good news
is I don't have diabetes but I am border
line anemic now. She gave me a whole
bunch of iron pills and told me to drink
orange juice.
I am just starting to get a few stretch
marks....None of them are too bad yet and
I hope it stays that way!!!Lol!!!
My lower back has been killing me these
last 2 weeks or so...He is getting really
big and is really heavy to carry around.
I stay soooo tired all the time, ,my
midwife said it was due to being anemic
but it really sucks!!! This sounds gross
I know but my breast are begining to leak
a little bit o joy!!!
Anyway...I cannot wait to have him, I am
sooo excited. My step sister is throwing
me a baby shower next saturday(a little
early since I am not due to march) but I
have so much moving and stuff to do she
figured it would be better to do it soon!!

Anemia is a hard thing to handle.. It
does make you extremely tiered.. You can
help yourself by eating things with more
protein and iron. That will help give you
a little more energy for you and your
unborn.. I wish you tons of luck..
You must be so excited that your baby is
just around the corner.. Only 9 more
weeks to go. Keep us posted

I have been taking my prenantal vitamins
and my iron pills and drinking those
carnation breakfast things that has all
the vitamins in it and stuff like that.
I keep getting stretch marks on my butt,
which is weird because I can't tell it's
getting bigger...Maybe it's its just where
my skin is pulling up for my belly.
He is due march 27th but I hope he comes
like march 11th, that way he won't be
considered premature but he will have a
cool birthday 3-11-07(it rhymes). Anyway
he will come when he is ready I guess.
Oh, beofre I forget I was wondering if
anyone has seen the new fisher price
swing. It's called starlight papasan
swing, I am getting one...It is super
cute!!!

Hey .Kezia! A few weeks ago when .I had
my glucose test &my rhogam shot .I
found out .I'm anemic, too. That explains
why .I was so so so so so incredibly tired
&unable to function at all. I take
iron supplements &they've helped a
bit.
My boobies are leaking, too! Lol, it's
gross but .I always run up to .Chris
&say "you wanna see you wanna
see?!?!?!" &.He freaks out! Lmao
.I'm glad to hear everything is going
well! Our little men will be here soon!
I'm so excited! I'm having a baby shower
on the 11th of .Feb &also another on
the 17th! Woo!

My baby shower is kind of early but I will
be working on moving into a new place
around the time he is born so I wanted to
be able to have time to do everything. I
am amazed at the stuff I am going to have
to wash before it can be used, clothes,
sheets, his bedding bumpers, towels, burp
clothes, blankets, teethers, pacifiers,
bottles,etc...That dreft baby detergent is
expensive, I was in k-mart the other day
and for a small bottle that does like 30
loads it was like $12.00. My boobs feel
so weird, they feel hot and cold at the
same time. I have already decided after
I have him I am going to get another
tattoo and put his name in it. I have
one tattoo between my shoulder blades and
I am either going to get this one on my
lower back or on my lower stomach to the
side kind of on my hip.
Arcadia: I hope you have a great baby
shower!!! I am so excited for mine, have
you seen that starlight fisherprice swing
I was talking about? They have it at
babies-r-us and places like that, it is
sooo cute, it has blue on it so it looks
like a boy, you ought to check it out.

dreft is a rip off. I use all free and
clear (dye free, fragrance free)
and it's just as good and much cheaper. I
buy the huge thing of it at bj's for $10
and I get like 150 loads out of it.

We wash .Aly's clothes in the same
detergent as our stuff. She's never had a
reaction.
