The itchy feet thing is weird. But pregnancy does so many weird things to your body. I still to this day hate chicken because of Fin's pregnancy and he's almost 11. It's weird. <br />And crossing all my fingers & toes that the Colorado house sells fast and smoothly.

Even the teenage boys from youth group were pretty thrilled about Cyrus, which I didn't expect at all--squeals from the teen guys, "He's so cute!!!" the first time I brought him in to meet everybody.<br />I think it's so interesting how medical practices are different everywhere. I had pretty much no idea what to expect with having a baby in Malaysia and basically just went along with it all. Since medical insurance that covers prenatal and birth care is not common here, and we didn't have it either, I both appreciated and was surprised by the fact that my doctor was very cost-conscious. She would say, ahh, you can do that test if you want to but it is expensive, it's up to you, but I think you're fine without it. Angel asked about waterbirth at the hospital and she was like, "Yeah, we do have that option, but I think it's really overpriced." That kind of cracked me up.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07894832851934334471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-90450544651406316162018-06-01T02:09:52.467-05:002018-06-01T02:09:52.467-05:00I'm glad you had a cute reaction from your stu...I'm glad you had a cute reaction from your students, good on them for giving you a great teacher memory to look back on. In the UK you kind of get what you get as well, all midwives etc, that's how the NHS does it. It seems to work pretty well for most people but then I have no first hand experience so I'll move on. The option of choosing your doctor, choosing your delivery, even scheduling a c section in advance seems crazy to me but that's quite normal here. I hope everything continues to go well with the baby and that your house sells asap!Rachel ¦¦ A Nesting Nomadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08457683109401016555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-49749954180300558402018-05-31T22:42:18.698-05:002018-05-31T22:42:18.698-05:00I don't remember ever craving a vegetable.

Heartburn tends to just get worse and worse...understandable since your stomach ends up basically in your throat by 40 weeks, lol. But the good news is, ALL of this stops basically the minute the baby’s born! It’s all temporary. I actually forgot about my itchy skin and heartburn until you mentioned it and then I was like OH YEAH...I remember downing Tums all day at work and not being able to sleep because of the burning in my throat...Angihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00394336849612797834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-68414467383105222682018-05-31T19:21:02.604-05:002018-05-31T19:21:02.604-05:00I hope everything goes smooth!!I hope everything goes smooth!!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16248935374379919175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-9330219036089036262018-05-31T13:14:16.216-05:002018-05-31T13:14:16.216-05:00I know in the end it really won’t matter.

HOWEVER, during my pregnancy, I was encouraged to see as many different doctors as I could because any of them could be the one who would deliver the baby. I hoped and hoped that I WOULDN'T have the doctor whose patient list I'm on. We just weren't fans of her, but of course, she was the one on call when I called at 1 AM to go to the hospital. haha It worked out in the end, though!!<br /><br />I'm so glad that you've been having a good pregnancy, and you look fantastic!Becky Doughertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11137408537369933534noreply@blogger.com
