Had another appointment w/ my midwife today. Everything went really well. My hemoglobin is rising, which is good since it was a little low last time. Baby's still vertex. Position is "L.O.T.", to be exact. Baby's heart beat was 140. My BP was 110/80-something (much better than it has been during my last 2 appts). I mentioned my horrid acid reflux problem and my midwife's apprentice told me that taking digestive enzymes might help.....which makes sense, because the bottle of enzymes I ended up buying has the bromelaine from pineapple that you mentioned, Wendy! Although, I'm certainly not opposed to scarfing some fresh pineapple as well. Yum!

Thanks for the input on the name dilemma. And thanks for putting up with my paranoid secre+ c0de $pelling. LOL! I just don't want relatives and friends to be able to Google our potential baby name combos and find my blog....not that anyone would think to do that, but one never knows. I already goofed and posted a bunch of our potential names without the garbled spelling a while ago. I went back and fixed it, but I think the original post will still be detectable on Google's engine for a while. Oh well. Like I said, why would anyone we know Google our child's full name in quotations? Please don't answer that. It'll make me even more paranoid.

I've convinced myself that it would not be too weird to use Ta1lu1@h for our child....I mean, unless we were to copy a moniker like "Moxie Crimefighter" or "Pilot Inspektor", I don't think it's too outlandish for a child to incidentally share a name with a celebrity's kiddo. After all, the name Tal1ul@h isn't unheard of. It is a classic throw-back to the turn of the century. Dem1 & Bruc* aren't the only ones who have thought to use it in the last 15 years. While it may not be a super popular name, I know for certain that there are little girls and older women alike in this world who share it.

I know - I've Googled it. :)
