At almost 31 weeks, I have gone through countless Palmer's Cocoa Butter products. Each day after I get out of the shower I am religious about using the Palmer's cocoa butter for stretch marks-all over body lotion AND Palmer's cocoa butter for stretch mark-concentrated cream on my growing belly. The buttering continues before I go to bed with Palmer's Tummy Butter. So far, so good! I am hoping this trend will continue over the next 9 weeks. I am sure I am stretch mark free mostly due to being blessed with good DNA (thanks Mom & Dad!!!); however, I am not willing to give up my Palmer's routine even though it has a big effect on my pocketbook!
Our prep for baby continues. We have Peanut's room mostly cleared. The closet is completely empty, the basement is rearranged and the desk has been moved out, and we have found room for most of our other "stuff" at Goodwill! Erica and I have picked out paint and Erica is ready to show off her artistic skills! We will post pictures once the painting is complete.
We have a lot of birthing/baby events coming up. We are planning to start a birthing class with a Doula May 1st for 6 weeks. We are not planning to have a home birth, but I am excited to learn all of the information on birthing and baby she has to offer (Justin can't stop saying 'Doula Doula Doula' because he thinks it's a little crazy!). We are also doing a "power" birthing class at Dean/St. Mary's hospital (where I will be delivering) this weekend. We saw Dr. King today and are now on the 2 week check-up schedule until June when we will then go every week. We got a really good report today, everybody is healthy and growing as they should be! We did get bad news in that Dr. King will be out of town on our due date. It was a little depressing for me as I feel very comfortable with her, but she made us feel confident in the other doctors we will possibly be working with on the big day.
We hope all is well with each and every one of you. We will post again SOON!
xoxo
