I swear I didn't do it on purpose. But, the proof is in the numbers. I've lost weight. In my eighth month of pregnancy. My torso has shrunk. I wouldn't have thought it by looking down, frankly, but the midwife pulls out the measuring strip each week and I was down 5 centimeters from last week, which means I'm 8 centimeters from where I should be this week. Two centimeters they don't mind. Eight, however, is not taken lightly.
And yet. Our midwife is still proceeding cautiously. She didn't freak out and scream cesarean. Her exact words were, "well, you've just won yourself another ultrasound." So, in a week, I have another ultrasound. They'll be looking to see whether the baby is still around the 32nd percentile. We just don't want a dramatic decrease. They'll also be examining the flow of the fluids in the placenta. The main concern is that, regardless of what I'm eating, it's not getting to the baby. If that's the case, I doubt I can avoid an induction; however, if it's all looking okay, than they will simply accept that we have a small baby and we can go on our merry way.
And the toenails, you ask? Well, I figured I might as well take advantage of my shrinking figure and cut my toenails quick while I can still breathe.
Hi Mara! Could the decrease in measurement be due to the baby having descended into your pelvis or something? Has the baby turned or changed position since your last measurement? And wouldn't those EXTRA strong, even painful movements from the baby that you've been feeling be GREAT indicators of good health and size??? - Charlotte
Yes, the movements are great. The baby has not, however, dropped. And they will be looking at the ultrasound to see if somehow the baby is just, well, hiding behind a kidney?
I've seen that baby in action. There is no kidney big enough for it to hide behind. I think you may be losing weight, but I don't think the baby is. And you're toenails will be readily accessible again in just a few weeks. You just won't have the time to trim them, so cut them short.
So was I supposed to read that as your having really heavy toenails that, upon cutting, significantly reduced your weight?
Each buying and selling yellow metal is effective. Should you be focused on selling platinum you very own, you can normally get excellent presents and you'll find good money into it through potential buyers. Should you wish to shop for golden, that should verify per se to generally be the most effective opportunities one ever made. Unlike funds that will drop its benefit with respect to the fiscal popularity associated with a state, gold is usually fairly constant, thus generally worthwhile.
He,This is a great and usefull blog.Keep up the good work.
Hands down, Apple's app store wins by a mile. It's a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I'm not sure I'd want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.
