getting closer!!

wow! I have less than 2 days till our baby boy is coming into this world.. it's really surreal to think about it and I'm trying to just keep my mind off of it as the time gets closer. My mother is in town visiting and helping out with the baby and will be here for another 2 weeks so that is great, she's been such a big help already. We've gotten the baby stuff organized in the apartment and are just getting ready as much as we can, but I think that no matter how "ready" you are... you're never really ready. Having a baby is a day to day, hour to hour, minute to minute type thing.. you deal with it as it comes!

I'm already thinking ahead about what I'll be eating as I breastfeed/recover... and of course I get advice from everyone.. my husband just read online that supposedly a new study says you can start feeding babies whole foods at 4 months now instead of 6 months.. and that moms aren't getting enough iron in their diets like they should... so now I'm of course thinking where can I get iron from that's raw/vegan .. I don't want to have to become some giant meat eating carnivore! I did have some turkey over the weekend and ate a thanksgiving type meal that my mother-in-law made for us and some family.. and while my mom is here I've kinda been eating things like regular cereal, meals she makes, etc.... I dunno.. I'm just going to have to take it day by day (like I mentioned before) and once I get into a groove with the baby and get on a regular schedule it will all work out.

anyway.. this will probably be my last post here until after the baby is born and I'm home and recovered a bit... so see ya blogger peeps!
