Yay Washte 🙂 Oh and Kal… good for you to try and quit smoking! I’ll be looking for birth announcements around February. I remember that other thread too Shirley! I wonder how that went… I wonder if it is still in my threadlist. ---

Hello everbody!! 🙂 The ante-natal appointment went well today. Baby was in breech position facing my back so didn’t get a good photo unfortunately. Got one anyway to add to the album and send my mom in the US. It’s cool though cos you can make out one of her ears - as well as head, neck and back. Looks like the amniotic fluid is up again and well within the normal range… whew! I can’t tell you how worried this has made me. I’ve been drinking at least 3 litres of fluid per day - usually one of these is milk. I think we need to buy a cow… They fiddled my night-time insulin just a bit in hopes of lowering my morning reading, so will see how this goes. Still bruising quite a bit, but would rather be healthy than put baby in any jeopardy at all. How is your wee one doing **tanookie**? ---

The wee one is six weeks old now! At his 4 week checkup he was up to 8 pounds 9 ounces! Chunka child 🙂 He eats every 2-3 hours around the clock… where’s a sleepy smile when I need one? His sister seems to have adapted really well and I thank whatever supernatural forces are responsible for that! Just realized I was still pregnant when I last posted about the boy. We were hanging out sunday and realized that it was his due date! Babies really throw some curve balls at ya! ---

I’m very happy that things are going well for you **tanookie**! Sleep will become an option again one day soon - hopefully 🙂 Due to hip and back pain caused by too much Relaxin hormone, my sleep is starting to suffer. I can hardly wait until I can go on maternity leave in about 5 weeks. I just want to hibernate at the moment until Spudette is born.
