week 32 checkup

so my midwife said my lil Jaxon is already in position. she said it was earlier than a lot of other babies, but it was a good thing. she also mentioned he was really low. guess that explains all those weird little sensations i have low down in the pelvic region!
we talked extensively about iron and protein intake (last time my blood was checked i was anemic--runs in the family). she wants me to eat 6 meals a day with protein at each. that just sounds like a lot of food. granted it doesn't have to be a huge meal. i definitely eat 5 meals with protein at each. just gotta add in that 6th! oh, and i have to keep taking my iron supplement along with making sure i eat foods rich in iron, calcium and vitamin c. good thing i try to do that!
i can just barely see the light at the end of the tunnel....

week 31 finds us at the beach!

[week 31]
little Jaxon's a mover and a shaker--DEFinitely. he loves to move around when there's music playing. he also seems to enjoy the time from about 10-12 or so... guess he's a night owl like his daddy, perhaps.
went to a drum circle/dance jam on saturday night in corpus this past weekend...i danced a bit and Jaxon danced a lot! it's pretty interesting, but usually when I'M moving, he's not--like he's checking it all out. so at my bellydance practices he's usually pretty chill.
we enjoyed our little foray to the beach this past weekend. the water was awesome, Jaxon was failry chill while i was IN the water, but once i was out and reaidng a book in the shade, he as making his presence known.
can't wait to see what he's like when we meet him!

the playlist...

we've put together a little playlist for our boy. it's so funny... not classical or completely instrumental either. we go from The Beatles to Pearl Jam to Cymande to Incubus...there's lots of Allman Brothers on there... and of course The Beastie Boys.
i can't tell which he likes best, but it's been fun adding new music to it and playing it for him. he moves around a lot when The Beatles and Lennon have been on.
cracks me up...

[week 27]

Jaxon's in there!
