Eating with Chelly...

2 oranges

2 bananas

cantaloupe

juice - carrot, apple and then put in a blendtec with spinach

pinto beans

carrots & tahini

raw blueberry muffin dessert

Glenn made us a smoothie: banana, coconut milk, dates, vanilla, agave - would be great with some nutmeg or cinnamon yum!

ionized water intake: so far about 50 ounces... ideally at least 80, which is calculated...

1/2 body weight in pounds = ounces of water daily + more if perspiring a lot

Home Birthing Preparation

Finally have put everything together in preparation for a home delivery... well... almost everything together :)

Here's a list of some things that I have put aside:

flashlight (so that midwife can use instead of putting on the main light)

old towels

chuck pads

baby items - diaper, coconut oil, clothes etc

TIP: Coconut oil is great for using on a newborn's bottom while they still have merconium

receiving blankets

snacks for birth team

birthing ball (ya know one of those big workout balls that you can bounce on)

washcloths for use in a crockpot for warm compresses

cord clamps

bulb syringe

hot water bottle

sippy cup

labor bag, in case of hospital transfer

Just purchased a birthing tub by "made in water" http://www.madeinwater.co.uk/poolcom.html

Still need to get a pump to blow it up, a garden hose and attachments to fill it up

Also need to do:

music selections

scriptures - laminated

finish the hospital bag
