I have some "homework" from my Bradley instructor, namely making sure I get around 80g of protein a day. So far, I'm finding that ridiculously difficult! I eat so many more carbohydrates than proteins, it's crazy. The only day I came close was Sunday with 77g... the rest of the time I'm hanging around in the 60's. Tomorrow I'm going to make some bean casserole, and that ought to bump my protein numbers up!
Oh, and here's a tip if you're looking to eat more protein but don't want to do the whole chicken/meat thing - get Morning Star Spicy Black Bean Burgers! They are sooo good! You can find them in the breakfast food section of your grocer. They are all veggie, but are chock-full of protein! One patty has 12g of protein. I ate two on Sunday (with no bread) which is why I was so close to getting my recommended amount of protein.
Tomorrow (well, today I guess!) I have my follow-up ultrasound to visualize the baby's eyes, lips and heart. It should be a quickie ultrasound and I'm going to ask for the guy to make sure there really is a penis there! I'm also going to see if he'll give me better pictures and actually let me watch the darn screen! I'm going on base this time, and the tech is supposed to be good so I hope my experience is at least marginally pleasant this time.
Later today....
Okay, so the baby is DEFINITELY a boy! Phew! Tim and I were both relieved. This time there was no doubt. Our u/s tech was so nice! He explained every single thing he was looking at, made sure I could see the screen at all times (when he had me roll over onto my side so I couldn't see the big screen, he turned his screen sideways so that I could see it too).
Tim and I both told him how much we appreciated his bedside manner and how nice he was. We told him about our horrible experience at the other hospital, and he said he had heard many bad things about that hospital and the u/s techs there being mean to patients.
Baby Boy was *adorable* as usual! But of course I may be biased! We were able to see his lips, and he definitely has my lips! They were full like mine, whereas Tim has thin lips. He also seems to have my nose in his profile shot. It was just so neat to see! At one point he opened and closed his mouth like he was blowing bubbles. And he also swallowed amniotic fluid.
I am just amazed by this little boy already! He is this whole little person with his own idiosyncrasies. He did some funny things (legs by his head, thumbs up, punching at the transducer) and we were all laughing. He has such a cute little personality already! This time we got a disc with all the best pictures, including some more money shots.
I'm so excited for my little boy to be here (but not too soon!)! He is just perfect.
