no labor yet…
well except for my breathing. it got hot here again and man am i poofy and slightly short of breath. otherwise all good and status quo. had that false labor stuff last week that kind of drove us all batty, but now we are back to the usual just get on with everything and the babe will come when the babe is ready! unfortunately we called grandma in last week so now we don’t have a great care for our older one plan, but that’s what friends and neighbors are for, yes?
i am back to walking - the foot is still abit sore but okay for walks. am trying to up my protein and really stay on top of my water. did you know that if you are poofy or bloated it could be from a few days of eating too many carbs (even the good ones like veggies and fruit). or i should say it can happen from not eating enough protein.
my goals, therefore, are to:
eat yogurt everyday - i’m buying the greek now as it is super-protein rich, have a protein drink as well, and guzzle water in the middle of the day. i am great about first thing in morning and at night, but can slack in middle of day.
peace out!

Very exciting, that precious bundle will be in your arms soon!
My second baby was 9 lbs. 15.5 oz. and actually was the easiest of all four to deliver…go figure lol. Glad to hear your foot is better!
Waiting anxiously as I’m sure you are too Debbie.
Glad to hear you are doing well and it won’t be too much longer for you. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Good to hear from you Debbie. Greek yogurt is my fav. Enjoy getting more protein in for you and the babe.
Debbie-
I’ve recently tried the greek stuff and I like it, though I like the soy yogurt better…
For the bloating, our midwife told DW to have some watermelon, that it is good for bloating…Coincidentally, it’s good for hot days like today too!
Stay comfy! Any guesses on the babe? Boy or girl?
Hang in there girl! Can’t wait for the good news from you though!
Hurry up already!
Praying for ya!! That little one is making us anxious!!

Hey girlie. So close now isnt it? Wow… hopefully this time next week you’ll be celebrating your son/daughter’s arrival and both of ye will be healthy and well.
Yikes will you have this baby all ready….lol I’m glad to hear you are doing well and in good spirits! Can’t wait to hear that you had the baby.
That is a good thing to remember hey, protein. I naturally have been doing this and it really makes a difference. I for no reason other then too many carbs I think, have been kind of poofy. Stuck to the protein and yogurt on a regular basis and things are getting back to a nice and comforting place.
I wish you well in the next few days. Man that is one big babe! Have a great week Mom
You sound so well and that is so wonderful!!
Ginger tea with lemon and honey Cheers to You! *hugs*
