22 Weeks

I am starting to feel really big!! Also, I am starting to wake up in the middle of the night with really bad heartburn...bring on the Tums!

We had an appointment with the OB yesterday, the results for spina bifida and down syndrome both came back negative YAY! She has now given me the requisition form for gestational diabetes so I will have to book an appointment for that soon! 150bpm today...I LOVE THAT SOUND!

20 Weeks - Half Way There!

Yay!!! We are half way there today! It seems like this has taken forever...only 20 more weeks to go ahhhh! I feel like we need to start getting the baby room together because I don't want to feel rushed at the end, but in the same time I don't want to do it now because I feel like then when it's done and I won't have anything to do...if that makes any sense. I'm feeling fairly good these days, I am still on the Dicelctin though, I am scared to stop taking it because I don't want to feel like crap!

Tiny Baby Feet

This is just a short and quick update!

I think I felt our baby GIRL kick today. It almost feels like gas, but I have been told that is what it feels like! So exciting! Now I am going to be sitting around waiting for gas!


On another note, we found a dresser! Like I though, of course we weren't going to find as good of a deal on the dresser as we did on the crib and change table. We paid $500 for the dresser, but we *hope* it will last a long time!

18 Weeks - They "Think" It's A Girl

We had our first ultrasound today, what an amazing experience! The Tech "thinks" it's a girl! Yay, so exciting! I can't believe that some people don't want to find out what sex their baby is! We had a hard time waiting this long, I could never wait until the birth. It makes it so much easier to come up with names, decorate the room and buy things. I also feel more of a connection to "her", now that I've seen her and know it's a girl.



We have now moved from my family Doctor onto the OB. All of my blood tests that were done with my Doctor have come back fine, and we will soon be going for more testing - for down syndrome and spina bifida.

18 Weeks

Wow, I am soooo tired! Everyone keeps telling me "Just wait until the baby is here", honestly I don't think I could feel more tired than this. Also, my back is killing me. I have been going for a massage every three weeks and that helps a bunch.

17 Weeks

I saw my family Doctor for the last time today, my next appointment will be with the OB. The heart rate was at 150bpm...I just love the sound of that muffled little heart beat, it honestly makes my day!

I am slowly starting to feel better! Woo Hoo! However, sleeping is getting to be a bit of a challenge! I bought a wedge pillow, so maybe that will help. Let me tell you...my breasts are growing now, as well my tummy has really popped out! I went and did aqua size this week, that was actually pretty relaxing even though it was a work out...if that makes any sense at all.

16 Weeks

I have been eyeing up strollers for the last few weeks. We decided that we will buy an expensive item every month or so along the way, then we won't have so much to buy all at once near the end. Anyway, I came across the stroller that I wanted and it just so happened to be on sale $50 off...so I bought it! Now I just need to get the car seat to go with it, that will have to wait till next month!

13 Weeks

We attended an Early Pre-Natal Class last week, it was good but we didn't really learn a whole lot, most of the topics covered were things I had already read, or things that I figure are common sense!

I know it's early, but as soon as I got pregnant we knew that we wanted "espresso" colored furniture but everywhere we found it, it was crazy expensive. Well we were at Zellers on the weekend and came across a crib and change table that were so nice, espresso and only $400 for both! We bought them!! Now we will have to find a dresser to go with it....ahhhh I'm not looking forward to finding that, I'm sure it won't be as good of a deal! After we bought the crib and change table we went to Babies R Us, my mom was out shopping with us and bought us the crib bedding set (gender neutral)! It is adorable, I can't wait to set up the baby room!

I saw my Doctor this week, everything is good so far. All my blood test and physical exam results came back and all is perfect! I'm going to bed...good night!
