OT baby update

[Guest guest]

Well thought my water broke the other day, turned out it was a " bladder spasm " . 

However ended up at the hosp. where they did an emergency ultrasound to make

sure baby was ok and that it really wasn't the water.  Got the results back that

baby is healthy as a horse, though they could'nt tell me if a boy or girl.  I'm

due WAY earlier than I thought, like Dec. 7th instead of Jan - Feb.  My anemia

has been acting up but I knew that as I've been sick and unable to swallow even

my prenatals let alone any extras.  As a result I've been drinking OJ like

there's no tomorrow and almost killed a whole pineapple on my own yesterday. 

Citrus and milk are my current craves. - not necessarily together - though I

wouldn't turn down an orange cream milkshake or float. lol  I've also been

craving dark leafy greens after polishing off the spinach the other day.  Seems

my body liked something in it.  My bp is high, but no gestational diabetes (was

concerned as I

had a fainting spell), my weight is the same as it was when I got pregnant

which still being morbidly obese is a good thing.  I do credit alot of it to

what I've learned here.  I don't have the m**t cravings of my last pregnancy,

just a few here and there.  I have also had the pleasure of watching my kiddos

enjoy more fruits and veggies, from cabbage and potatoes (my personal fav.), and

OOpps potato soup (it was supposed to be mashed potatoes with skins on but I was

talking to David while pouring the milk and " poof " potato soup it was).  David

now eats salads, broccoli, and isn't adverse to trying new foods.  Darian

doesn't care as long as it's food.  He is my fruit eater and keeps stealing my

dried apricots.  Then pitches a fit when I get into " his " raisins.   In fact

one of our new favorite lunches is just baked potatoes sometimes with toppings

sometimes just a little s & p and we're good.   We did do the fast food thing

there for awhile

when cooking smells made me sick, but even then we did our best to stick to as

vegetarian as possible, subway being a favorite. At anyrate I credit a good

chunk of the heath of baby to what I've learned here.  Now once I know if it's a

boy or girl you can be sure I'll post. lol  As I'm now DYING to know - so much

for we're gonna wait! lol
