The Baby Countdown

Some quick updates... Baby James is due in five days (the first day my spouse returns to classes for summer school). I tend to run late though. Jessica was born on her due date; Johnny was two days late; Julia was seven days late. The trend is for each child to be born later and later. I hope not. Sleep is eluding me.

Diet this pregnancy has been quite an ordeal. Every day I take 1 prenatal vitamin 4 times a day with food and one fish oil tablet. I've been trying to ensure that the foods I eat are high and iron and then I need to eat vitamin C to absorb the iron. I've also got to get in a yogurt with acidopholis and cranberry juice each day to help to stave off the Strep B infection women get tested for during prenancy. And yes just a few days ago I came up NEGATIVE for Strep B! I had never tried a diet to stave off this infection before and in this test case, it has worked. No antibiotics for me this labor! In the meantime, I feel like a total pig cramming all these foods in me and then trying to eat something different.
