(1) De...A couple thoughts on food restrictions... <br /><br />(1) Deli meat is fine if you heat it up (just in case you didn't know that). After the first trimester, I've actually eaten it cold a couple of times if it's fresh cut deli meat that has been properly handled, refrigerated, etc. <br /><br />(2) The VAST majority of cheeses sold in the US are made with pasteurized milk now. When I was first pregnant, I was sad I "couldn't" eat a lot of my fav cheeses, but then I was told by my doc to read the labels, and sure as shit, almost all of them are made with pasteurized milk in the US, so goat, brie, feta, etc. were all back on my plate. GREAT news for a cheese addict like me. :) <br /><br />(3) Eggs & Red Meat - they say you have to have hard cooked egg yolks and medium well meat only. For us, we get both from our neighbors - we know the conditions the animals are raised in, and for the meat, the condition of the processing plant the grass fed, organic meat is processed in, so I felt comfortable eating my over-easy eggs in the morning with a medium-rare burger at night. personal preference of course, but when I knew where my food was coming from, I felt a lot more comfortable eating it the way I liked it without worry, and my midwife agreed with me. <br /><br />Just some food for thought. ;)<br /><br />SOOO happy for you!!Joshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13423295019681051881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8705523870502559866.post-31933503297354219232011-11-18T21:22:22.888-06:002011-11-18T21:22:22.888-06:00Very exciting!

I finally realized it was happening when I felt her move. But I swear I didn't realize I was actually going to take home a baby until she was home for a week...totally weird! So happy for you and can't wait to hear about your next beta :)Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05389227751096751082noreply@blogger.com
