This week has been quite busy. I went to the beach on Tuesday to visit my friend Amy and her five year old daughter, Mia. It was a wonderful day and I had a great time. Mia told me that when my baby gets big I will have to feed the baby everyday and it's a lot of work! I was stunned, why didn't anyone tell me about daily feedings? My doctor agrees with Mia that daily feedings are a must. Who knew?
She was an absolute delight and it was so fun watching her have fun in the water. Mia is so smart and has a loving heart, Amy's done good.
Tom went to Asheville for training yesterday leaving at four in the morning and driving home last night! He was a tired puppy and fell asleep on the couch before supper. He completed his first engineering project and the bigwigs are pretty impressed with the final results. Snaps for Tom!
I went to the doctor today and I'm right on track. The doctor was sort of a dud. Not really any personality and seemed to want to get out of the room as soon as possible. Tom came with me and we did get to hear the baby's heartbeat, until I started to giggle and the doctor told me to stop which only made me giggle more. Hopefully I won't have him when I deliver.
I found out some good news, the practice does have a midwife! I watched The Business of Being Born this week, great documentary, everyone should watch it. It highlights the unnecessary use of drugs and C-Sections in this country. Did you know that 46% of births are done by C-Sections? Most are caused by the use of labor stimulating drugs! There is a spike in the amount of C-Sections done at 4pm and 10pm, dinnertime and bedtime, how is that medically necessary? I understand that C-Sections are necessary at times but why 46% of the time? America has the highest infant and mother death rate out of all western wealthy nations. Why??? I am not turning into a weird-o about this but it makes you wonder why doctors insist that they are more intelligent then a woman's body.
P.S. If you are pregnant and home alone do not watch P.S. I love you. I balled for the entire day until Tom got home. I made him promise me he wouldn't die and he made me promise not to watch sappy girl movies. I cried so much I had a massive headache that I am just now getting over. Great movie but not for a hormonal prego who's brain is near mush.

I laughed out loud again at Mia's comment. People look at how little she is and wonder if I ever learned that rule...maybe you don't have to feed them EVERY day..just once in a while.
So glad to hear about your doc visit. I can just see you laughing...you know you were laughing because he was a dud and needed some life in his day. Jesus loves him even if he is a dud :)
