She shared your blog with me a long time ago & I read it on my phone when I'm nursing my little one at night. <3<br /><br />Anyway, excuse me if this is way too forward, but I wanted to share this link with you, regarding the Pertussis vaccine & pregnant women:<br /><br />http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dr-bob-sears/government-okays-untested_b_674147.html<br /><br />I highly recommend Dr. Sears' book, The Vaccine Book. Whether you are for or against vaccinating your baby he doesn't judge or scold or even share his opinion, he just lays out the facts about what the vaccines contain & the info on the diseases they are for. It's excellent. Congratulations on your upcoming blessing! <3.:Heather:.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02045437608079876142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2765337936296997759.post-23265161898926671882010-08-28T14:19:46.814-07:002010-08-28T14:19:46.814-07:00Correction: "...and now she actually goes fro...Correction: "...and now she actually goes from 11<b>pm</b> to 6am, eats, and then goes back to sleep for another 3.5 hours!"Melissa Klausmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04627966145619202534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2765337936296997759.post-51662619110926481392010-08-28T14:10:32.388-07:002010-08-28T14:10:32.388-07:00Okay this is going to be long but only because I c...Okay this is going to be long but only because I can relate on so many levels!<br /><br />First off... you look amazing! I wish all my weight stayed in my belly, but unfortunately, that was not the case for me. By the end, I must have had 5-10 pounds of water weight alone! <br /><br />I agree with getting alot of sleep, but don't worry.. you'll have plenty once she comes too. The first couple of weeks I just napped throughout the day since she slept so much, and then after 6 weeks, she started sleeping through the night (defined as 12-5am) and now she actually goes from 11am to 6am, eats, and then goes back to sleep for another 3.5 hours! If I realllly want to sleep in, say til 11am, I just put her back to sleep for another 3 hours. It's awesome. I get all the sleep I need. I recommend the book Baby Wise for sleeping through the night. <br /><br />I also enjoyed In N Out... I think its because you need so much iron that your body naturally craves burgers and red meat... I know I did! That craving went away once I had her. <br /><br />I wholeheartedly believe you can go 100% natural. The best births are usually those sans drugs. Your doing it at the right place too. The best way to do that is at a birthing center where the drugs aren't encouraged because if they're available, you might be tempted to have them... but remember, God doesn't give you more than you can handle which is totally the case. It may feel like you can't handle anymore, then the pain subsides and you're able to do what you gotta do. I totally feel like I could have multiple kids now even with everything I went through toward the end. <br /><br />The bottom line is, all the thoughts of how its going to be don't even compare to the real thing. Having a baby is such a blessing and being a mother is like no other purpose you'll ever have. It is the sweetest, most joyful thing in the world. I can't wait for you to meet your lil' cutie. It's all worth it in the end. <br /><br />Glad you're enjoying the journey!Melissa Klausmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04627966145619202534noreply@blogger.com
