34 Weeks

Calcium gone bye bye! I can't take it anymore...I have only been taking these pills for about two and a half weeks and I am sooooo constipated! I am not taking them anymore, I will just deal with the leg cramps!

Hello stretch marks! I have been lucky and haven't seen any stretch marks as of yet; well that has now changed, they are appearing on my hips!

We had our prenatal class last week, and the breast feeding class yesterday! I found them very informative, and would probably recommend them to people to take. Most of the things the spoke about were things that I read in books, but it is still nice to be reassured that what you are reading is right. Some things though, like info about the car seat it is nice to have it actually demonstrated for you. I am happy that I decided to take the breastfeeding class, LOTS of info!

My best friend Nicky has now sent out the invites for the baby shower on October 18, so we shall see if this baby wants to come early to make an appearance at the shower!

Grandma and Auntie gave us some money this week to pick up some of the bigger ticket items on our list, so we got a toy box, diaper genie, bouncy chair and a floor playmat! Slowly but surely we are getting everything together!

33 Weeks

I have now gained 32lbs, and her heart rate was at 165bpm today! The OB has booked a ultrasound for October 1 to check on the position of baby as well as the size and weight.

Good god, I don't like taking these calcium pills for my leg cramps, sorry a little too much info, but I am so constipated it is insane! I am having a really hard time sleeping these days between the leg cramps, heartburn and baby rolling around at night, it is difficult!

We have decided to have a "Daddy To Be - Diaper Poker Party" for Clint! Basically it is going to be a $10 buy in as well as a bag of diapers; the winner takes all the money and Clint takes all the diapers! I'm sure he will have lots of fun, it will be the same day as the baby shower.

We finished decorating the nursery! Yay!!! The crib is built, change table built, dresser out of the box, curtain and rod up, shelves up and stickers on the walls! Soon I will take some pictures and post them!

32 Weeks

So I have started to take calcium pills to help with the legs cramps...well I am still having them but not as bad! However taking calcium pills have "plugged me up" worse than I already was, oh the joys!

I have been having braxton hicks this week, kinda strange feeling. It makes me wonder if she is on her way or just teasing, probably teasing!

I have created the invitation list for the baby shower, which will be on October 18. My friend Anne-Marie will be coming from Quebec City to stay with me for a week, so she will be here for the shower! Yay!!

We have some big news this week - we have agreed on her name!! Makayla Elizabeth! Now I am getting even more anxious to meet her. Only 8 more weeks! ;)

Just a quick update today! These damn leg cramps...every single night they wake me up! I had an appointment today with the OB and she told me to start taking calcium supplements, hopefully it works. Heart beat was 140bpm. So as of today I have gained 27lbs! We go back to UC Baby in 2 days, I'm pretty pumped!

29 Weeks - UC Baby

SHE IS SO CUTE! We went to UC Baby today, and our little girl (confirmed) is camera shy haha! She kept her hands up in her face pretty well the entire time, that or her feet! Her legs are straight up with her feet above her head. We got 59 pictures on a CD today, but they have asked us to come back again on August 26 and hopefully she will cooperate for us then. Next time they will give us more pictures and a DVD of the the ultrasound!
