New Baby Vlog Announcement!

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

 

I’m not sure if I mentioned my vlogging endeavor at NewBaby.com in a previous pregnancy post…so, I wanted to inform you all today that I have vlog going on at NewBaby.com! I have 5 submissions thus far and plan to continue to vlog through my pregnancy and beyond. It’s been a fun experience and I’m learning how to be a camera-woman too. It seems that the lightening has been an issue for me. I’ll get it figured out sooner or later…LOL!

In any case you can find the widget to NewBaby.com and my latest vlog on the right hand side column- do you see it? That’s me!!!  I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback either at NewBaby.com or here. I hope you’ll stay tuned for my latest pregnancy info while vlogging.

I have yet to share my 6 month update here but you can view the vlog by visiting NewBaby.com and looking it up under my moniker LaMamaNaturale. Basically, the last time I wrote about the pregnancy I was a bit worried about baby Clark’s heart as the ultrasound doc told me, Clark had fluid around his heart. We found out that the fluid is no longer there and he will be a happy healthy baby. It was from the cold I had weeks ago. Nothing more. I thank you all the people who supported me about staying positive about the condition.

The midwives predict that Clark will be bigger than Tristan. I predict the same thing- my intuition is telling me so!!! Since the beginning of my 2nd trimester I’ve gained a pound a week- totaling 25 lbs. of weight gain. The midwife, Aleks reported that this is a perfet weight gain and was very satisfied to see that I’m weighing in above my pre-pregnancy weight. For now, my emotional state is great and I’m looking forward to meeting baby Clark very soon. Come Jan 1- it’s going to go by so fast (due April 4) and I’ve already told Clark he’s the leader. I will follow his lead when he’s ready to make his presence into the world. We’re a team and we’ll work together for a smooth delivery!

I’m going back through my hypnobirthing book and reading some mantra’s like “my baby and I are one”, mantra’s to help with the labor and delivery AND also re-learning how to go into this birth aware but off into a state where I can be happy and calm. I’m still doing pre-natal yoga and I love it. I’m also working on all the pre-birth stretches. Needless to say, it’s prepare, prepare, prepare! Even though, I’ve given birth before I’m not expecting it to be the same as with Tristan.  :)

UPDATE: I would also like to mention that in my vlog above about the beverage Glow Mama… I state that you can find it in stores like Whole Foods- well, I want to correct that and mention to my readers that it’s only available in CA. at some stores and that it’s mainly available online!!! If your expecting or know someone that’s preggo and would be interested… visit their website www.drinktoglow.com

Its a great website and they also have a blog, you can follow for any updates- so get your Glow on!

OH! I forget to tell you all that Tristan my 19 mos. is basically weaned- the last 3 nights he’s slept through the night without nursing before, during or after. I have to say I feel a loss and sense of abdonement, if you will- it feels so different. I’m happy that he’s moving on and gaining more independence from Mommy but…he’s my lil guy and I enjoyed it soooo much. Guess, I shouldn’t be so glum about it- Clark is on the way and soon I’ll be nursing again. AND- it’s so funny too- Tristan has decided to call Clark – “CHUCK” he was saying Clark with no problems but one day a couple weeks back he started saying Chuck to refer to baby Clark. It’s very funny- but we’re NOT changing his name from Clark to CHUCK!!!

Anywho- tomorrow we leave for Trinity where will be staying at the Bonanza King Resort. I’m not sure how much blogging I’ll get to do before I leave. I have a few reviews to tell you about and will try to get them up ASAP! Other than that I’m not sure what my computer life will be like while visiting the wonderful area of Trinity. It’s probably going to be slim to none- but I’m taking the lappy and am looking forward to meeting up with a fellow eco-blogger, Jennifer Lance, from Ecochildsplay!!!
