While there was a bit of a muffin fiasco this morning, I managed to get a good batch of muffins finished before we had to run off to today’s prenatal appointment. Things are going well, and I had oodles of questions to ask – sprinkled over the course of the entire appointment. We met with Val this time, and Suzanne (the student midwife) was there too. We liked both of them. All in all, my blood pressure is great (there, certainly – it seems to fluctuate a little more than it used to, but “high” is never even up to 120/80), the baby’s heart beat is good, I can have some green tea (moderation, of course), I can use the sauna (if it’s kept low – 95ish) when I’m cold, my weight gain is going to be unique to me and is fine as long as I’m eating to appetite, and sushi doesn’t have to be right out if we have a place we can trust*. All in all, a fabulous appointment.

After the appointment, Jason and I got to meet our friends five day old daughter – who is absolutely adorable! It gave us a chance to catch up with both of our friends’ moms too.

And the frosting on the evening? I made pizza tonight for dinner. It was gluten free pizza crust, and casein free soy cheese, but it was “pizza”, and I’m happy! 😛

*Why do I care so much about being able to eat raw fish while I’m pregnant? Because sushi is absolutely the only food that generally sounds *good*, the only food that I generally WANT. While there is lots of non-raw fish sushi that I love, and do eat, I need protein, and a negihama roll sounds really really good.
