This post will be a bit of a mish mash of things since I haven't posted in quite some time.
All seems to be going well with the baby. I have been advised by my Dr. to take an addl iron supplement after I explained that all I want to ever do is sleep! So far it seems to be helping.
The baby has been kicking/punching up a storm. I am a little concerned that everything feels a little low but I will check that when I go back in Sept.
The belly is growing but I don't really see it too much. It seems to happen in spurts. But it's nice to actually look pregnant after all those years of just being a fatty and worried that I looked pregnant lol.
I have been attending healthy pregnancy classes with DH and we have actually found them to be useful. It only deals with the pregnancy and not the birth but helps with eating habits, exercise and of course breast feeding.
I will be honest and say that I am still on the fence about it. I like the idea of bottle feeding and that my hubby and I can share the time with the baby and the bonding. If I breast feed, I become the human cow. Only seen as mealtime to the baby. Also, the nurse in the course scared me, a breast fed baby eats between 12 and 15 times a day but a bottle fed baby only eats 8 times a day. 15 times a day!!!!! OMG! The benefits for both myself and the baby are tremendous if I breast feed so I will definitely keep this in mind as I continue to think this one over. Who knows, I may not make a decision until the very moment the baby is born.
I hope to post some new belly shots this week. Week 25...time is flying. I have about 2.5 - 3 months of work left. I am going to try to work until the end of Nov but I'm not sure how long I will last. I could leave as early as mid Nov. So I guess another time of waiting it out.
