A visit to the midwife on Tuesday was a very quick but joyful visit. Nine year old son joined me and he was able to hear the baby’s heart beat and see the quick routine of blood pressure, pee stick test, weight and brief talk with the midwife. The heartbeat was strong and my measurement was exactly on the 19 cm for 1 9 weeks.
I am so thankful to be feeling better – some days being tired can make me a bit weary but overall I am very grateful to be able to keep up with the children and home.
We went to the local natural food store this afternoon to stock up on organic flours, yeast, honey, molasses, sucanat, cashews, organic raisins. We bought some local organic heavy cream and made some butter upon returning home. It is a beautiful yellow color. I was inspired when reading the blog at http://www.soulemama.typepad.com .
Well, off to make a dinner of homemade tomato sauce with local naturally grown turkey sausage and homegrown veggies over pasta. Maybe if my energy holds out, some homemade cookies as well.
Blessings,
Tonya
