So I realized that I have neglected to mention on LiveJournal that Zelly Zipporah was born on her due date, June 9th at 4am. She is healthy and warm and cuddly and adorable. She has a nice head of fuzzy hair. She is pinky. This is has been the best week of my life. Labor and delivery were quite difficult. She was born in the OP position, "sunny ( Read more... )

 I've been writing less than I once did partially because of you people. People on my friends list that actually post nowsie days are good writers who craft entries, whereas I prefer to crap entries ( Read more... )

 Ok I had another appointment today. My blood pressure is still good. My feet and ankles are still huge. They found (only) trace amounts of protein in my urine. Babyzam's bp is good. I gained (only) pounds since 2 days ago. So, they are not super worried, but I still have an appointment on Wednesday and another on Thursday (which is the normal ( Read more... )

All of my worries have been calmed for the time being.

BABYZAM!

 I passed my sugar test "with flying colors". I asked the doctor if that meant I could eat a candy bar and she said it means I can eat three ( Read more... )

 Today I wore some actual maternity pants (I don't know if you want to count the Heidi Klum stretch pants that go below the belly, I wore those one time). I have to say that over all, maternity pants are very comfortable and I don't think they should only be for the pregnant. I'm not 100% sure, though, because I am approximately 30 weeks pregnant, ( Read more... )

 I talked to my dad for about and hour and a half yesterday. This week is murdering me with homework, so I was only going to call for a quick 'happy birthday' to him and then telling him that we're giving our daughter a middle name from the other side of the family (my mom's side) and making sure he was cool with that. But then we chatted for a ( Read more... )
