Yes yes I’ve been a terrible updater recently.\u00a0 My last update was at 19 weeks, almost 3 months ago.\u00a0 But it’s been a terrible 3 months.\u00a0 Everything’s going well with the pregnancy, I’ve just been knocked flat by it.\u00a0 Constant need for naps, unable to get out of bed at times, fatigue so bad I can’t always water my plants and have given up trying to get the mail.\u00a0 It’s been hard on all of us.<\/p>\n

\"Miriam<\/a>

I had something similar during the second trimester when I was pregnant with Miriam, but this is worse.\u00a0 And I’m well into the third trimester now.\u00a0 Two huge increases\/additions to my thyroid meds have helped, and so has being diligent about taking my supplements.\u00a0 July was also a busy month, with preparations starting long before.\u00a0 My brother Mike got married!\u00a0 We took a trip to Los Angeles.\u00a0 I helped plan the 2009 Festival of Fruit<\/a>.\u00a0 And California went through several heat waves.<\/p>\n

\"Miriam<\/a>

So here I am, 31 weeks (7 months) into this pregnancy, and starting to feel a bit better.\u00a0 Some news:\u00a0 It’s a boy!!\u00a0 We had an ultrasound at 20 weeks and the little sweetie was mooning us.\u00a0 Even Miriam could tell his sex.\u00a0 All the other measurements came out perfect too.<\/p>\n

And, yes, we have a name picked out.\u00a0 The first name comes from Michael’s family and the middle name\/Hebrew name is just a name I’ve been drawn to for a long time, for unknown reasons.\u00a0 We’ll announce them after he’s born.<\/p>\n

So far, I’ve gained 20 lbs and have been craving fresh vegetables, fresh fruit, fish, and pickles (fermented\/pickled anything really).\u00a0 Miriam is still nursing, though usually not very much.\u00a0 The house is a disaster because I haven’t been able to do any sorting and organizing like I was in the first trimester.\u00a0 The plan is to get it all done before the birth (sure…).<\/p>\n

Things are going well with our midwife and we’re still working towards a home birth with a hot tub in the living room.\u00a0 I am getting backup care with the midwifery group that works at the hospital where Miriam was born.\u00a0 And of course I’m getting endocrinological monitoring through-out.<\/p>\n
