Happy New Year!

Wes and I would like to wish everyone a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! Hopefully I'll get a chance to update a bit more soon! Not much is new, all is well. Feeling pretty good. Start week 31 today. It's nuts! Our prenatal class is in 2 weeks on the 13th!

Talk soon!

New DO!

Here's my new 'do' that I got cut just before Christmas! Wes calls it my mommy cut!

30 weeks!

Yup, that's right, in my 30th week. that means 10 more to go, unless by chance she wishes to enter the world early, which I would welcome! hahaha...

Hope everyone has had a great Christmas!!

Merry Christmas to all!

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!! I'm not sure if I'll get a chance to be online before that. We hope Santa finds you all and brings you everything you want!! We already have our gift, so anything else is bonus.

Talk soon!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Update.........might be long!

Sorry it's been a bit. I'm definately going through computer withdrawal! it's been a busy week. Hard to believe that Christmas is less than a week away. Payday tomorrow so I'll be a busy little bee getting last minute stuff and doing a bit of baking. Our last christmas as a family of two! I can't wait until next year now!

All in all, things are well. This time off has been great so far, and I can't say I've been bored yet. My mind is finally at ease and I have a easier time falling asleep at night. Mind you I still don't sleep close to a full night, but at least it's a sound sleep! The pee breaks are getting more frequent, I'm up to about 3-4 a night so far. I hear it will be every hour in the near future! Baby Avah is doing great! She's kicking like a trooper, it's such an amazing experience!! I feel truly blessed to have had this experience. It's a feeling that you can't even describe. I love to watch my belly move when she kicks and moves around. Not being around pregnant woman very often, I honestly didn't have any real idea about that. And when she kicks, I always poke her back. It's like a reassurance that I am here for her. We play tag some mornings, where she will kick, I poke back, then she kicks again, then I poke again. It's a surreal experience. Definately something I never thought I would experience, and now it's finally here. I cry sometimes at the thought of how blessed we are.

Here is my 28 week 4 day pic. Belly is expanding. I had a huge jump in weight this time around, but doc indicates that it's normal where I haven't gained much up until now. And 1-2 pounds per week is expected. So I'm up to 15lbs gained at 28 weeks 2 days.

UC baby on Saturday was amazing to say the least! I layed back on a hospital type bed and Wes got to enjoy the sights from a nice couch next to me. They had like a 32 inch screen that you got to watch everything on! We got a CD with about 91 pics, some a lot clearer than others, overall, we're impressed. Plus we got a DVD with the whole session recorded on (about 30 minutes) where we can see Avah opening her eyes, smiling and yawning! We also got the heartbear bear, where we push the bears foot and hear her heartbeat! We also got confirmation that she is a girl!! I know we had that news a while back, but in the back of my mind, another opinion was great to have. So on Monday, I cut the tags off of all the girl clothes we received!! I was holding off on that until we had the 2nd opinion. Here are a couple of pics of our little angel!

Daddy bought Avah a gift 2 weeks ago. Pink Toronto Maple Leaf onesie with hat and booties! It's too cute!

A big Congrats to my cousin Jenni and her boyfriend Matt on their new little bundle of joy, Kloe! She was born on Friday, December 14th at 2:33pm weighing 8lbs 9 onces. Mommy and baby are home and doing great!!!

29 weeks

Can you believe it! In my 3rd trimester and in week 29 already!! Whoohoo!!!

28 weeks

Yup, in my 28th week! Saturday we head to Halifax for UC baby! I'll be sure to get some pics posted ASAP on here! Wish us luck!

Update

Hey all, as of last Thursday, Dr. Keating put me off work. Baby is fine, although I've been in lots of pain! Needless to say a desk job isn't the easiest when your preggo. My tailbone has really been bothering me, to the point where I only get relief on Sat and Sundays. Lots of pressure in my pelvis which sometimes makes it hard for me to walk. Then added on it all is lack of sleep (partial due to stress at work). I'm happy about being off, I need this time. I feel like the past bit I've been the crankiest person alive and feel really horrible. So the past few days I've been able to recharge a bit so it's coming.

Other than that, we don't have a computer at home so I won't be updating as much as usual which I'm sad about. Already I'm going to through Facebook withdrawals! We're hoping to get a comp in the new year. We'll see how that goes.

27 weeks!

Yup, that's right, I'm in my 27th week already! Frig time flies! 10 more sleeps and it's UC Baby in Halifax!! Another monthly doc appointment on December 17th then it's one every 2 weeks after that! Avah has been kicking up storms and making mommy's belly jiggle lots! I know her peak and down times, it's so neat! Some mornings after I wake up, we play tag for a bit, she kicks, then I push back, then she kicks. It's an amazing feeling! I painted a couple of things for her bedroom last night - we bought wooden letters that spell DREAM and I have two big thick wooden picture frames. So I painted them last night.

Christmas is just around the corner!! We still have bit more to do, but nothing major. Wes' mom will be spending christmas eve and christmas day with us this year as Brenda and Carter are heading West for the holidays. I think we'll have a great little christmas just the 3 of us!

Well here's my 27th week pic!!

New Pic!

Here is a new pic taken early this morning! For some reason it's a bit blurry. Exactly 25 weeks 5 days along. It's grown since last pic that's for sure!! Still only 7lbs gained so far!

26 weeks!

Holy Cow, in my 26th week already. Time is flying by. After next week I'll be in my 3rd trimester! Shiat!!

Some aches are pains are setting in already. It's all a part of it though. I'm anxious to be done work.

Low iron?

So my I went for my glucose testing last week and I think they took another vial or two of blood for other tests. Turns out my iron is somewhat low. Doc's office calls this afternoon and says I should get some Iron Supplements -Slow FE and take 1 daily along with my prenatal vitamin. Has anyone else had this? I know my sister had low Iron Levels but I think it was later in pregnancy. Anyway, just wanted to konw if this effected anyone else out there!

Thanks all!

25 weeks!

Can you believe, in my 25th week already. Time is flying, that means 15 weeks left!

Doc appointment

Went to the doc's yesterday for another check up! All went well, gained 3lbs, so I'm up to 7lbs total so far. Not too shabby! She's only recommending I gain 20-22 so I'm doing well so far. Althought I know it'll all start piling on soon! Avah's heartbeat was 132bpm, my blood pressure was good at 136/76. I told her about my aching bum and she suggested I get one of those pillows with the whole in it or something. So we'll see. My next appointment is December 17th, then I go every 2 weeks after that for a while! It's getting there!!

Today is my sugar test. My appointment is for 11:45, kind of a bad time. They tell you not to eat any sugar beforehand. So I hate toast with peanut butter (which I'm sure has some sugar, but what else am I to have on it). With the test being at 11:45 I made a quick stir fry last night to eat around 11 because I won't be able to eat for about 1 hour to 2 hours once the test starts. Hopefully all the test turns out ok. I brought my MP3 player to listen to music while sitting in the waiting room. Gosh darn I hate waiting around in those rooms. Everyone caughing, snottin, fartin, chewin', etc...Drive somebody nuts, especially me who has a hard time with noises like that. Hopefully my MP3 player will drown some of it out!

That's it for now. Will update again shortly!

On the hunt...

We're on the hunt for the old Wooden ABC Blocks. I found some in the Sears Catalogue and may resort to ordering them if we can't find them anywhere else. In the catalogue they are $7.99 a pack. We're looking for 3 packs. Anyway, if anyone finds any out there, please let us know where!!! I wanna get a little "Martha Stewarty" with the nursery!

BIG THANK YOU!!

A big thank you to everyone who came to our baby shower!! We definately got spoiled! Big thank you to TANYA for getting it all organized and making the big trip home - to Mom, Wendy, Staci, Pam and Tanya and Marty for bringing some great eats! Thanks for the great gifts - Avah's going to be stylin' once she arrives!! We can't wait!! We can't THANK YOU all enough for the great gifts! (Jen, Patsy, Mom, Wendy, Staci, Jessie, Amy, Tanya, Jillian, Myrna, Natalie, Carrie, Shirley, Pam, Jenni, Katrina, Shelley, Myah, Joy, Sarah, Gisele, Sam- I hope I got everyone, it's still a bit early in the morn!!)

The diaper game was a hit! That was hilarious! Great choice Tanya. For those who haven't heard of it, you take 5 clean diapers, put a chocolate bar in each (unwrapped). Melt it in the microwave for a minute or two and smoooch them. Then pass them around and get everyone to snif, lick, whatever to figure out which type of bar it is. It was hilarious watching people guess them!

I didn't get many good pics, so I'm hoping those that were there can send some my way! Here are a few that either I took or Mom or Wendy took.

Picture!!

This pic was taken on Friday, November 16th. I am exactly 23 weeks 5 days in this pic. Belly is growing!!!

Week 24

Wow, week 24 is almost over already! Sunday will start Week 25! so 6 months down!!

End of work....

So my term with NBCC is ending December 21st, that means I'll be all done work then! It's nice in a way because I'll be done work for Christmas holidays - that means 2 weeks with my hubby because he's off from school for 2 weeks. Not sure what I'll do to occupy my time after that, but I do have a few little projects that I'm saving for then. We've made a plan for when next year at that time comes around so we should be ok. I must admit, that this is the first time I will be on unemployment and out of work! I've always either been in school or in a job or both, quite lucky honestly. So it might be a little nice to sit back and relax a while. They say you get tired of it quick, but we'll see. I'm sure I can find something to do!

I know it's still fairly early in the pregnancy, but I'm tired of coming to work! My bum gets so sore each day from sitting on it, I think its my tail bone or something. The only relief I get from it is SAturday afternoons until Monday mornings, the pain is gone then it starts back up again Monday morning at work. It even hurts at night after a long day at work when I sit up straight or sit in the car. Am I too whiny?!? I was never one to complain or have much pain - my tolerance is pretty high. But as of late, wow!! not just pain but discomfort! Oh well, all a part of it, and from what I hear it doesn't get better until baby gets here! So in a way, I can't wait until December 21st!

23 Weeks

A few days late, but here's the 23rd week pic!!! I'm currently 23 weeks 3 days so far!! Time is flying!!

All is well on our end! Avah is kicking lots and lots and Daddy's been able to feel it! So did Auntie Brenda on Monday! It's soo amazing!

Registry

Registry should be back up and running at Walmart.

Here she is!

That's right, baby's a SHE!!! The sonographer was great this morning! Took lots of time to explain everything to us! At first she thought she seen a little birdy, but turns out it was the cord. So kept going back to try to get some good looks and determined it's a GIRL!! So we're extremely excited! Baby was moving lots so it was hard to get some good pics! She did print like 10 for us, in which I scanned 3. Some shots were roughly the same. We didn't get any real good side profiles cause she didn't want to turn that way! Her hands were always in her face too!

Anyway, here they are!

Here is the side profile. you can see her head and nose and her chest!

This is how most of our pics are, face on! If you tilt your head to the left, you can see her two eyes, nose and her open mouth! She was yawning! Her arm is by the side of her face.

Here she is waving to Mommy and Daddy! You can clearly see her little hand - 4 fingers and 1 thumb!! Too precious I tell you!!

Wes and i haven't had much time to talk about the names since this morning as I'm back at work and he's at school, but I believe her name will probably be Avah Katherine. I'll keep you posted on that!

The good and the bad.....

Let's start with the bad - My aunt called and said she tried to get on our registry at Walmart last week and couldn't. So I went to Walmart Saturday and last night and both times the machien wasn't working. We tried talking to Customer Service but they were just rude so we looked for the Assistant Manager. Found him and he called another place to see if he could serach it and he couldn't, it's not found. So we no longer have a registry. The registry at the Walmart here will only be fixed in the next few days. They are suppose to call us when it'sf ixed and we'll try again! Not the best timing, considering the shower up home is on the 18th, which is less than 2 weeks away. Oh well, what can you do!

The good news! Long and short of it, we're going to the hospital tomorrow to meet with the infamous COLLEEN! Yup, that's right, tomorrow! She will do some pre-admitting questions she said, then talk about prenatal and do an ultrasound with pics. I asked about the sex and she said that she would try but won't say anything unless she is 100%! She said it could be a little early for her to find it and be certain but she would try! So turns out we may find out the sex of this little one a lot sooner than we thought! She said if she couldn't find it then when I go for my sugar tests on the 21st, she would try again! So once I get back to work tomorrow, I'm hoping to scan the pics and post them!!

WE'RE SOOO EXCITED! WE'LL NEVER SLEEP TONIGHT!

Pics

Here is a 22 week 1 day pic taken this morning. As you will be able to tell by my face!!! Belly is growing lots! The 2nd pic is taken from me looking from my boobs down! Being bigger you can't always see the full effect of the tummy like I can! The little bump is not my belly button but the seam on my pants!

Here are some pics that I took of the nursery yesterday. There is still tons to do, but the furniture is in it's proper place, as of now! Dont' mind the stuff piled on the dresser or on the side table.

The dresser will have the change table on top of it. The shelf next to it is to hold the diapers, wipes, cream, etc...

My chest is under there, I may empty and use it as a toy box for the little one!
I will make a cushion for the rocking chair and curtain to match once we know if the baby is a HE or a SHE!
Might give you an idea of hte paint color. It matches the bear on the set we want, which I will post below.

Pretty sure My mommy got this for us for our shower!!

22 weeks

Here is the 22 weeks pic! Week 23 starts Sunday!!

Better now...

Well wasn't feeling so well Monday night. Went for our usuall stroll and took some real heavy pressure in myh pelvic area. Went to the hospital and they sent me right up to OBS. They hooked me up to monitors to check everything out and me and baby are fine. They called Dr. Keating and she told them for me to come to her office in the morning. They told me that if I felt more comfortable spending the night, I could, but I came home. Went to see Dr. Keating Tuesday morning and she believes it's my pelvis seperating. My urine showed a bit of blood, nothing major, and I had no infection. She told me to rest a bit so I stayed home yesterday too. Kind of a shitty time for things to happen because Wendy and the baby came down Tuesday morning until last night. We didn't get to do what we had planned, maybe next time.

Oh yeah, so while at the hospital, the staff were amazing! OBS I mean. They were great! They printed out my ultrasound to see how things were there. The date the ultrasound has for a due date is March 4th!! I mentioned this to Doc Keating but because I know the exact date of my last period and it's under 10 days difference, they are still using March 9th as a due date. I just don't awnt this little one to be born on February 29th!!!

That's my news for now. All is well and I can feel little baby boo move lots lately! It's amazing!

Talk soon!
xoxxo

Congrats Myah and Derek

Congratulations goes to Myah and Derek on their little boy Ty Hanley Mulcahy!!!

He's adorable guys!

Hope your doing well mommy!! :o)

21 weeks

Hard to believe I'm in my 21st week and start the 22nd week Sunday! Time sure if passing by.

Here's my weekly pic!

PS- My gestational diabetes test is scheduled for November 21st, so I am assuming my talk and ultrasound with 'Colleen' will be the same day. So looks like we won't find out the sex before my shower! Oh well!!! Still not that far away now.

Dr's appointment today!

Went to see the Doc today. Everything was great! She told us that the ultrasound results were perfect and that the baby is growing properly. She measured my belly and it's right on track - 21cm. My blood pressure was excellent 128/68, but I gained 5lbs!! That puts me at 4lbs gained so far, because I had lost in the beginning. She said my weight gain so far is great, half way done the pregnancy and only 4lbs gained. 20-22 lbs gained throughout the pregnancy for me should be what I should gain. So we'll see what happens there! Baby's heartbeat was 144bpm. We asked Dr. Keating about the OBYN that would be delivering, because at the beginning she either told us or someone from the office told us that she does some prenatal then sends us to an OBGYN. Turns out, she does the delivering unless there are complications in the pregnancy. So as it stands, she will be delivering baby McKinley. Our due date is March 9th, not the 10th as we had thought.

Also, she indicated that when we go for our glucose testing (which she was making the referal for today) we would most likely be meeting with the famous 'Colleen' in the Matenrity Ward to do the other ultrasound and get updated with all the prenatal classes and stuff. So hopefully it won't be much longer now! We want to know before the baby shower on November 18th. So we'll see!

We bought a heart to heart monitor from Toys R Us on Saturday. It says that you can hear the heartbeat, depending on various factors, between 21-28 weeks. We hear kicks on it so far, and only my heartbeat. hopefully it won't be much longer before we hear the heart. The kicks are hilarious! Most I don't feel but it's so sensitive to sound that you hear the baby bumping around. Supposidly I can record it through the computer so I may try that this weekend and send something along.

Here is a pic of me from Friday night. I'm still managing to fit into some work pants, but I have to keep them below my belly. They fit snug around the tank when I stand up but to sit down, it's too tight!!! (Remember, I started out with bit of a belly to begin with!)

20 Weeks

Hard to believe 20 weeks is almost done already! Time sure does fly!

Here is my 20 week pic from http://www.whattoexpect.com/

Painted the nursery!

That's right, we got the nursery painted on the weekend! The landlord came to finish fixing the closets and we got to work! We painted the whole nursery - ceiling, walls, trim and the closets! The color is kind of a sand/light brown I guess you could call it. They didn't have a chip at Walmart to go by, we had to improvise and Wes found a color on a paint can so tore a piece of the wrapper off! It matched perfectly and we love the color! He's such a smarty!

We also got the crib together and was able to get things set up a bit, nothing major, just the furniture put in place. Sooo exciting!

That's our news for now!! We'll keep you posted!

Mommy To be

I have a little wish for you
for you my mommy-to-be,
this is a way for me to say
thank you for loving me!

I wished upon the twinkling stars
for you , my mommy to know,
that I can already feel
all the love you show!

How you rub your belly
and sing me a sweet song,
and how you ask my daddy
to join in and sing along!

Sometimes it is hard I know
to always do what's right,
like watching what you eat
to make my future bright!

You've already made me happy
my loving mommy-to-be,
you're not waiting until I'm born
you are already loving me!

You will know my wish came true
when you feel how much I care,
a little wish from baby
with so much love to share!

19 weeks

Here is my 19th week pic from http://www.whattoexpect.com/

Hard to believe week 20 starts on Sunday!!!

Wow.....

So yesterday was ultrasound day! The day couldn't have passed any slower!! My appointment was for 2:30 so I picked Wes up at 2 and headed to the hospital. Maybe this is the way all ultrasound appointments go, I'm not sure, but I didn't enjoy most of it. The sonographer hardly spoke, and when I mean hardly said my name, told me to get on the bed and pull my pants down some. That was it until she told me to go and pee a bit about 20 minutes later. Then she asked what Wes' name was and called him in. Just seem so emotionless, very cold. God I got more attention signing in for when I got blood work! None the less, we got to see our little peantu! It was amazing! I couldn't spot a kiwi or petunia but we did get to see he/she's heart pumping, little legs, arms and little fingers move! The baby was sleeping and laying towards my back so the sonographer got me to sit up and lay back down to see if the baby would move so we could see he/she's head. It worked! As soon as I layed back down and she put the thing back on me, the baby was looking straight at us. We could see the eyes, nose and mouth - then he/she let out a big yawn! It was either that or saying Hi to us! It was pricless, at that moment, the tears started! Unbelieveable!!! The tears didn't stop until we hit the car, adn even then, I had a hard time to contain then them!

I can't wait now for the next one, which will hopefully be something in the next 3-4 weeks then the UC baby in December!!! Time can't go by fast enough!

Ultrasound tomorrow!!

Yup, that's right our ultrasound is tomorrow. Despite my disappointment from last week, I'm dealing with it and am accepting it. At least we get to see the little bugger, right?!?! We're both extremely excited to see him or her. From what some people have told me, I should be called sometime after the ultrasound to set up another appointment at 22 weeks and then will get to find out the sex. I'll keep ya's all posted.



Other than that, things are going well. WE've been taking walks each night, which feels great this time of the year. Our landlord came to complete about 90% of the closets in the baby's room on Monday. Hopefully he'll be back to top it off this week so we can paint on the weekend. That's our tentative plans anyway.

That's it for now! Stay tuned!

18 weeks

Wow, hard to believe we're almost done our 18th week already!! Here's the pic from http://www.whattoexpect.com/

After my last post and doc appointment I checked with a few people here form Miramichi (actually nurses from the hospital that I know) to see how this all worked - ultrasound etc.. From what they tell me, after my results of next weeks' ultrasound gets in the computer system, I should get a call from the sonographer on Maternity and she will get me to come in to go over prenatal classes, breastfeeding clinics, another ultrasound, and my glucose testing. This should be 2-3 weeks after my first ultrasound. So this makes me a bit happier, knowing that we may know by the end of the month, and before my shower. Mainly I want to know so we can get the painting done before it's too cold. If we don't get our appointment before the end of October we may go ahead and paint anyway. Something neutral. We've actually found a color, kind of goes with one color on the comforter set we want.

Still haven't felt much movement baby wise. I'm hoping it'll 'kick' in soon! haha! Just to let me know the little bugger is doing ok! We still play music almost every night for him/her. I may start with some more upbeat music during the day to see if I get any reaction.

Other than that, I still haven't been sleeping the best. I need to find a good body pillow. I can't seem to find one that's not so soft!

Big Congratulations to Julie and Gerry on their little one, born October 2 - Cassandra was born at 12:13 am on Oct. 2 weighing 7lbs 11 onces, 20 inches long. Here is a pic of her. (Hope you don't mind that I posted a pic Julie and Gerry)

Wes has just finished up his 2nd week of school and is moving right along!! He's doing awesome! I'm soo proud of him!!! He's already completed 2 courses to date and may finish another one today. So far his marks have been a 94% and a 95%.

I took a pic of myself to show my progress. Of course, being overweight I won't get the nice perfect belly that most smaller women do. I started out with somewhat of a belly to begin with but it is increasing, when I used to look down between my boobs, I didn't see belly, now I do! And to boot, I'm still down 1 lbs. I lost 4 to being with and have only put 3 back. Here is my pic at 18 weeks.

One last note, Happy Thanksgiving to all!! Hope you have a great long weekend!

Disappointed....

We had another check up today. We found out that we won’t find the sex out at that ultrasound appointment that is scheduled next week. That one is done by Radiology and I go in alone, they do the measurements then Wes can come in for a few minutes, no pics no nothing. The next one – that is scheduled by Maternity Ward is the one they will disclose the sex and give pics if you want it. So I’m a bit disappointed, I think Wes is too. Anyway, what can you do. I’m not sure when that appointment is, but am hoping to find out soon. I guess they call you around 20 weeks to set up an appointment for you to go to the hospital to the Maternity Ward to go through all that stuff plus prenatal classes, etc. But I don't know what week that appointment is. Doctor mentioned possibly when they do the gestational diabetes test, but I don't know what week that is either.

All in all, appointment went ok besides that. Heartbeat was 145!! I gained 2 lbs but am still in the minus from when I started. She’s upping my blood pressure pills a bit because my blood pressure was up and has been for a few weeks (I’ve been feeling like it’s up more the past two weeks). I had issues before hand with it, so it's not a suprise.

17 weeks!

As in the past week, here is the 17th week pic from http://www.whattoexpect.com/. I think I felt a little flutter last night going on in my belly. Hopefully there will be more of that in the next few weeks!

Results

Dr. Keating called and left a voicemail this morning that our Maternal Serum Testing Blood Work results are in and everything is perfect. This blood work was to determine if there is a chance the baby could have Downs Syndrom and other abnormalities I believe. So we're in the clear!

Doctor's appointment is on Tuesday again. Can't wait to hear the heartbeat one more time! Curious about the weight gain as well. As of now, I'm at -3. Lost 4 lbs the first time after my initial weigh in and gained 1 last time. So not too bad so far.

We started playing baby lullabies to my belly at night. We've heard that if you play it regularly and teh baby gets familiar with it, it could help later on. So we've decided to play lullabies before I go to bed in hopes that maybe it will put the baby asleep later on! I discussed this on the www.whattoexpect.com message board and other mothers have done this and it worked! So we'll see!

16 weeks!

Here's my 16th week picture from http://www.whattoexpect.com/

All is well, 16 weeks are done so far! Can't believe I'm in my 17th already! 2.5 weeks and it's ultrasound time! We're very anxious for that! I've decreased my Diclectin again and am only taking 1 at night now. This weekend I'll try to stop that one too! I've been feeling good during the day without the one I take in the morning, so I would say my sickness is gone!

Today is Wes' first day of school! I'm so proud of him!

As well it's our 2nd anniversary! Hard to believe 2 years ago today we got married! Some days it seems like yesterday, some it feels like years ago! hahah!!! Just kidding honey!!! Love you very very much!!

News - good, bad, ugly

Hmm, where shall I start?!?!

Bad/Ugly - I didn't get the job at DOT that I was so hoping to get. This means my casual work here wtih NBCC will end November/December and I'll be done work until after baby and maternity leave until I find another job. In reality maybe it's a good thing too, give me lots of time to prepare. But then what do I do about Unemployment. I doubt anyone will hire me for a month or two with a big belly! So maybe my doc will work with me and give me a sick note?!?!? That way I don't have to dig into my maternity leave before hand. Fingers crossed for me.

Good - Wes got into school!!! Fully funded by Depart of Post-Secondary Education, Training and Labour!! He starts on Monday. He's been working in colaboration with Career Flight in order to get the funding since early July due to his disability (shoulder). So Wes starts at Academy of Learning in Office and Business Skills on Monday, September 24!! I'm sooo very proud of him! He had to do a lot of work in order to get this!

I think that's my news so far. Oh yeah, we registered at Walmart last night. It was fun!! So if we decided to buy more stuff, we'll just take it off there. One thing I do want that is not there is a Bumbo chair and also one of those half moon pillows for breastfeeding.

That's it for now!

It's our 2 year anniversary this coming Monday!! Imagine, 2 years already! I took Friday off, so we may head to Moncton to get away for the day. Maybe Julie will have had little Cassandra by then and we can visit both of them!!!

15 weeks

Here is my 15th week pic from http://www.whattoexpect.com/

As you can see the baby is growing and looking more like a little baby everyday! It was amazing to hear the heartbeat this past week, made us both melt! Can't wait for our next appointment to hear it again! Next appointment is scheduled for October 2nd, then ultrasound is October 11.

This week was pretty good, still tired but that's mainly from the diclectin. I think I may cut back a bit this weekend and see how it goes. Doctor told me to start slowing it down and see how it goes. If I'm still sick then to stay with the regular dose.

We got our layaway out last night that we put down a few weeks ago. We got a change table pad for the dresser, monitors, safety visors for the car, sheets, crib mattress pad, and the thing that you place the baby between when they sleep so they don't roll over! We're going to go again next week and lay some more stuff away! It's sooo much fun!
