I have been banned from Oreos (and donuts and cupcakes and all sugary goodness) for the rest of the pregnancy. Apparently, I am spilling sugar into my urine (boo urine! If you weren’t already piss, I’d piss on you!). I have been instructed to eat more greens, consume less sugar and drink more water. *sigh* At least it’s only a few more weeks. I feel like I’m drinking so much water as it is but one of the birth assistants said I should be drinking a GALLON a day. I know I drink about 100 ounces a day but now I’m told to drink MORE. Crimminy.

I have also been told to slow down. No crazy jarring movements, no running around, no stressing out over anything. My midwife wants me to make it to 37 weeks; I don’t think the baby wants to stay inside that long but we’ll see just how long we can go.

We also have our home visit scheduled for the 12th. This is when the birth team stops by the house and makes sure that everything is in order. I have almost everything ready except for some last minute things like snacks and drinks for me and the birth team. I’m not even sure what sort of snacks to get (”healthy, all-natural snacks like granola bars and such”). I’m hoping this isn’t an Olympic event and I have to feed these people breakfast, lunch and dinner. I love being a hostess but not when I’m trying to push a baby out of my girlie parts.
