zurück Mai '04: -- 27.05. Ayla's Papa got delayed...oh well, hopefully he will be here by tomorrow (Friday). He'd better be!! ;-) Went for a check-up with my mid-wife and everything is okay. Ayla liked her so much that she wanted to have her boobies (hehe) and later on she wanted to stay with her when I wanted to go home. That's a good sign, isn't it? I am starting to get impatient these days. Being pregnant is great, but it seems so long! I want to see the baby, want to know what kind of person it is, what it looks like, if it is healthy, ... But there are still almost three months to go. I am reading about Montessori at the moment. But I haven't got far into the book, yet, so that I can't say if I like this approach or not. Maybe there is truth in every 'view' and we just have to take the parts that make sense to us. In a way I find similarities in all the alternative approaches to child-rearing. (Liedloff, Juul, Steiner, etc) -- 22.05. Nothing special happened. We are still waiting for Ayla's Dad to arrive. :-) Very typical. But I suspect him to be here by Monday. Ayla is very excited about it - and I am too!! I enroled Ayla in a Steiner playgroup and also the Steiner Kindergarten (for next year if we happen be here). She got the place in the playgroup, but I have to have a look at the place before I send her there, really. The thing is that I really like the Steiner 'philosophy' and the approach to education etc. but it really depends on the people how they interpret it and how they actually put it into reality. I want to check that out first. The baby in my belly is growing and growing...I am 28 weeks now, but I feel as if I am one month further. Have I been this big with Ayla ?! I think have forgotten. I was probably the same and I have the same problem as last time: I can't wait for it to be born. Nine months seem sooooo long! I got three months to go, but I would give birth to it now if I could choose, hehe. I am just too curious. :-) I re-introduced a bit more dairy products into our diet because I am not sure if I get everything I need from an almost vegan diet. It's all very well and nice and for some people it works, but for some it doesn't. I have read about a lot of people who have had problems after a certain time - I reckon because they didn't eat the right things (like wild herbs, etc.) and their colons maybe didn't work efficiently (because they didn't fast and didn't 'cleanse' their colon). The thing is that I never went on a fast as I was pregnant when changing my diet, and you can't fast when you breastfeed. Also I don't know how well my colon works - besides I always ate too many sugary things which is very BAD for the digestion tract. Anyway, I don't want to have any risks and I certainly don't want an ill baby because I am lacking something. After all I had Ayla with an almost vegan pregnancy, then I breast-fed her until now (2,5 years), and I am breast-feeding her whilst being pregnant. In terms of B12 Vitamin and other things there are some risks during pregnancy (even Konz admits to that), so therefore I am occasionally eating goats cheese or a raw egg. But that's just for the time being. |
