I gave into my craving for a turkey and cheddar sandwhich. Nothing fancy, just a few pieces of finely shaved Oscar Meyer smoked turkey breast wedged between two luscious pieces of medium cheddar Sargento cheese covered with a thin layer of pure Hellmann’s mayonnaise enveloped by two soft, fresh baked round top white bread.

***I did microwave the meat until it popped and steamed.

**I will probably still have a hard time sleeping tonight, thinking about the slim chance I have of developing listeria. So let’s all together give up a prayer that I didn’t just give my baby some awful fatal/disabling illness all for the sake of a stupid (yet delectable) turkey and cheddar sandwhich.

* I may have accidentally eaten two sandwhiches.

Can’t believe it’s been 30 weeks…can’t believe there’s only 10 left. I’m so tired, so I apologize for the lack luster post. Couldn’t even muster a picture…but I assure you of 2 things. 1) I don’t look pregnant from the back (says everyone else…but knowing what I know about my cheeky stretch marks, I beg to differ)  2) I could kill people with any of the three “bumps” attached to my torso.

First…let’s start with the less than glamorous news. I weigh 129 (though the nurse is logging me in at 128 b/c of my shoes) thats 30/31 lb weight gain!

Second…Jewels is breech. So everyone drop and give me 20 (prayers)! I reeeeeeallllllllllllllllly don’t want her cut out of my stomach. The MW said this is totally normal and that she has plenty of time to turn and that if she doesn’t turn by the next visit or two then we have some tricks to try, for now…no crossing my legs. In fact, I was told that the more un-lady like I sit…the better.

Third…we confirmed that they will not take Jewels away from me and our skin/skin contact until she latches. They can do everything (APGAR etc.) while she’s cuddling with me! No quick trips to the warmer for anything! We were warned that it can take 15 minutes to an hour an half for her to be interested in latching and that we’ll have all the time we need. We plan on letting the grandma’s in to take a quick sneak peak as soon as I’m all cleaned up, but everyone else will have to wait until after her first meal. This will work out well b/c I mean really who wants to see my “mommy tots” anyway!

The reason for Walter’s “dementia” has become clear. We took him to the vet on Saturday for his sugar test to see exactly how diabetic he is. Sugar levels under 180 = no diabetes, levels under 300 = maybe he doesn’t need meds…Walt’s was 600+!!! Pooooor kitty!
