This weekend was a big step in getting ready to be new parents. I think my “nesting” is finally starting to kick in, although I don’t really have the time or the space to start. We certainly got off to a good start this weekend though! We ordered a crib and a matress for the…
Motherhood
Peek-a-Boo
This week contained a rollercoaster of emotions for me. It was wonderful and frustrating all at the same time. I had been looking forward to Monday October 19th for a very long time. This was my ultrasound date. I have yet to have an ultrasound, even though some people get one much earlier. I have…
Fuming
Yesterday, Halifax Regional Council unanimously passed a vote to ban smoking in hundreds of outdoor areas within HRM last night. My husband, being a libertarian (think, almost anarchist but not quite), believes that this is a BAD idea that infringes on civil liberties. My thoughts: Thank Goodness! As someone who has never smoked a cigarette, I get very angry…
Nothing to Cry Over
How far along?: 17 Weeks! Total weight gain/loss: Up 1.8 lbs. (Up 1 lbs now). I would really like to be aiming to gain 1 lbs a week, but I’m not going to stress about it. Especially because I am alway so hungry now! How Big is Baby: My baby is the size of an…
How far along?: 16 Weeks! Total weight gain/loss: Up 2.4 lbs. (Down 1 lbs in total). I guess I should not have worried about not gaining weight last week! How big is baby: My baby is the size of an Avocado! Baby can now hear! Awww – hello baby! Maternity clothes?: Loving it. I wore…
Waiting
Today was my second appointment (and the third time I’ve gone for a doctor’s appointment: if you don’t remember the hilarious story I mentioned before – I went for this appointment a week ago! Silly pregnancy brain!). I convinced Dan to come, because I really wanted him to hear our baby’s heartbeat. I didn’t want…
Orange You Glad its a BABY?
How far along?: 15 Weeks! Total weight gain/loss: Down 0.7 lbs. (Down 3.4 lbs in total). I am not sure if I should be worrying that I am really not gaining weight (although Dan can’t believe that I am not gaining a thing. He is sure I have gained a tonne!) How big is baby:…
Lemony Fresh
How far along?: 14 Weeks! Total weight gain/loss: Absolutely no change from last week. (I’m still down 2.7 lbs in total). How big is baby: My baby is the size of a Lemon! According to What To Expect When You’re Expecting, baby is also the size of a clenched fist. “That makes no sense” Dan…
Aren’t you just a peach!
How far along?: 13 Weeks! Total weight gain/loss: Up 0.4 lbs. (I’m still down 2.7 lbs in total). How big is baby: My baby is the size of a Peach! She has unique fingertips now! Awww! (Dan says “Isn’t a plum and a peach the same size?” Apparently he is now impressed by our baby’s…
Knock Knock?
Hello World! I finally got the a-ok to tell everyone about my pregnancy! I’ve been waiting until I could tell a job I’ve been interviewing for. I decided to let them know upfront to avoid stress later. It is always better to be honest, right? But now that I have told them, I don’t have…
Tales of an Angry Pregnant Woman
Alright, let me be blunt. Pregnancy makes me tired. It makes me emotional, and therefore I get irritated quite quickly. I am irritated now. I was irritated earlier today. I was irritated yesterday. I will probably be irritated tomorrow. So, what’s up tonight? It is 7:30pm and I haven’t eaten a meal since my bowl…
