Are you ready? Are you ready to see the most beautiful baby in the world (at least to me)?! On Saturday, December 5th, we had our 3D/4D ultrasound appointment at UC Baby. Dan and I went and met my Mom and Dad and little sister there. What was so wonderful was that my other sister,…
Blame it on the Hormones
I have been planning to update my blog recently, but it has been difficult. I spend all day at work on a computer and this has aggravated if not caused some pain in my arm, shoulder and back which makes it difficult for me to come home in the evening and spend more time on…
A Violet by Any Other Name (Poll)
Dan and I have been thinking about baby names lately. Since we have decided to not find out our baby’s sex, we need to come up with both boys and girls names. I have a few requirements for the perfect baby name: It can’t be weird or made-up sounding It can’t be super-popular (http://www.babynamesgarden.com/top100.aspx) I…
Getting Ready
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…
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…
