My appt last week was with Cecile, not Karine. they wanted to make sure i met both midwives, and cecile is off most of July. cecile doesn't speak much english, and she's a bit uptight compared to karine, but it doesn't bother me. She viewed my meals (i had to bring in a couple days worth of what i've been eating) and she told me to lay off the fruit :/ not give it up entirely-just not eat as much of it...fruit sugar leads to big babies. umm, i've had a 9lber and two 8lbs 6oz'er-i'm not going to have a 6lber (nor do i think i have to worry about having an 11b'er) between 8 and 9lbs would be perfect. Also, Dr G did fax them my file and they also had my file from when I was pregs with Boo.
My home visit is next week :) Karine will come over, do the evaluation and do my pre-natal appt as well so i don't have to make an extra trip to the birthing center. awesome!
The belly is huge. despite having not gained even 20lbs yet-it's big. frighteningly so. I'm getting that underbelly thing happening-you know where the maternity shirt doesn't cover the underbelly? and the maternity pants/capris' belly bands don't come up as far as they used to...I still have a month and a half to go :/ how freaking big am i going to get??? physically i still feel good-but i'm having trouble doing the half sun salutation and squat poses when i do yoga now 0.o I have trouble getting out of bed and off the couch. also my belly button sticks wayyy out. people keep wanting to touch it. *shudders* "oh it's so cute". Mike says I'm at the stage where when we go out, and we pass by couple in their mid 20's to 30's, one half of the couple will stare at the belly with the "oooh, i want one of those" faces while the other pretends not to see a thing.
And a couple of random people have asked when i'm due and when i say mid-late august i get "are you having twins?" the belly is ginormous.
