Long time no post

 Just checking in to share that all is well with the pregnancy journey. I have no major issues worthy of complaining about. Thank God for no morning sickness- neither my mother nor my sister had morning sickness as well. Now as for frequent urination, heightened sense of smells, nosebleeds, and now sciatic nerve pain well they have all been minor issues I have had to deal with. But overall I have felt great most of my pregnancy. Now I have 67 days left and am making trips to the toilet nearly every 30 minutes or so and my sciatic nerve makes me walk slow and causes pain sometimes. But again, I am not complaining. I am however, looking forward to meeting my little one and pray that all goes well from here until B-day time. I opted for a natural water birth with a midwife and using "hypnobabies" self hypnosis. I have read so much about how the epidural can slow down labor and increase the pain of contractions, and then they can wear off if given too earlier. So, I pray that the peace and grace of God will sustain baby and me through our special day. As for my weight loss journey, I believe I was still losing weight at the beginning of my pregnancy. Fortunately, my doctor says that the sleeve should not play a role in the development of the baby. The midwife just asked me to focus on proteins, water, and vitamins. So needless to say this has not been a problem for me since I am a" meatarian" - LOL. Until till next time...
