Week 26 - Day 5 ~ holiday baby fun
belly happenings:
so what do you get for the grandparents for the holidays....alan and i both made a pact with them that we are not doing gifts but...we wanted to get them something. alas...we decided on some fun t-shirts from cafe press. they do a nice job with customs! in the mall they wanted about 100 bucks for two tshirts is was ridiculous but cafepress it was less them half the price. here is a preview of the one for grandpa who would like to be known as Pop :) grandma who would like to be called busia also get her very own in pink....lucky ducks :)

Week 24 - Day 2 ~ making your birth story
belly happenings:
OMG! well let me tell you little gavin here does not want to stop moving, rolling, kicking, punching...he has been on a roll for the past few days. i feel like he never sleeps :) alan got to feel him for the first real time on saturday while we were enjoying the new harry potter movie at the imax...loved it! it is so amazing to feel him....my only uncomfortable feeling (which i do not like very much) is when his feet are positioned down near my cervix and he kicks. it feels so strange....i explained to alan that it is like a balloon being blown up and let out (pressure-wise).
eating:
no particular cravings i would say lately. just trying to find a nice middle ground with how much to consume throughout the day. i prefer smaller snack like meals because if i eat too much typically i will end up with indigestion. these past few days tums have been really helpful :) of course we have no way to cook so my meals have been random though mom does kick down some yummy goodness once and a while. last night she made sauce with ravioli, meatballs, garlic bread (which did not agree with me), and a cake with ice cream. for no reason...lol just well cause :)
other:
today i began conversations with some people about immunizations. it is such a big topic full with various debates. in my heart i don't want to put any unnecessary chemicals in gavin....this belief also aligns with our choice not to circumcise him as well as my choice for a natural birth if possible. these are all great conversations and i look forward to inquiring with some co-workers who have also chose not to immunize their babies. gosh so much to consider. btw in regards to natural birth alan and i watched a great movie/documentary this weekend called the business of being born ...i highly suggest you check it out! click on the link below for an opportunity to check out the trailer. it is available on netflix for streaming :)
