Week together

What a week! Sometimes it hardly seems like we had a week together and last week was one of those.

Lots of exciting things happened - the first was THE ULTRASOUND. Baby is healthy and all is as it should be. All funny movements were caused by the placenta being at the front. (Bit sad as I was hoping all the extra bumps and funny movements were because it was twins) It is a little low but hopefully all will be well and it will be a normal birth. I have never had a Cesarean and I am not keen to experience one.

Yes we do know what the baby is but ... hubby wants to keep it a surprise. So you will just have to wait and see!

We also had the chance to attend a full day seminar on health. Boy did we learn alot! I have lots to research now on probotics and their effects. I have started on them daily (not seeing huge improvements yet) plus put Duckie and Bunny on 1/2 dose every 2 days. Wish I could do more but because of cost just not possible. I have had it confirmed from 3 different sources now that morning sickness that continues past the first 3 months is generally caused by a mineral/vitamin deficiency. I find this interesting as this is baby 5 and although I have taken supplements during all my pregnancies this time I have had to up my doses as high as poss under natrapath supervision and still seem unable to get what i need. I don't know how those of you out there with 5+ children have managed. We are fairly healthy but I can see room for improvement maybe this would have helped? Not sure.

Health is such a fascinating topic. With my auntie having diabetes and my nephew now with autism I am always on the alert for natural aids to helping these things in particular. It always amazes me just what God has put out there for healing all of the diseases around if we just search for them.

My Brother and Sister in law visited. It was so nice to catch up with them and see their little one (D) is so cute and has a real personality. She is pregnant too - having a girl this time so passed on to her some of the girls clothing we won't be needing. It is amazing how with 4 girls I have managed to collect so much stuff. Monkey has so much clothing in some sizes that I can go weeks without washing! Crazy really :)

I also managed to get some sewing finished finally for Zebra she has been desperate for clothes so I am dedicating one day while Peekers is home to my sewing day. I forgot to take photos of her on sunday so will try to remember next week and then I can post them.

Zebra is also doing cooking with Daddy one day when he is home. She is learning one recipe at a time and when has perfected it will move on to something else. She is loving learning cooking with Daddy. He has much more patience for this activity than me. Plus the one on one time with Daddy is great for her.

I can't believe how quickly our week together went and now I am counting down the 2 weeks until Peekers is home again. 1 day down.
