Sorry I am not updating frequently, one there isn’t much to update about and two I don’t usually have much time to sit and actually type out a decent post!

Well this Friday we will be going camping with the in laws. I am actually very excited but a little nervous, I just hope I remember everything I need for Curtis. The in laws are leaving today and will be getting things settled and we’ll come on Friday some time. We aren’t sure when we are leaving, during Curtis’ nap? Something like that. It’s a 3+ hour drive! I can’t wait for relaxing, swimming, sunshine etc. It will be alot of fun.

I have my next appointment on the 26. Hopefully we’ll get to either see or hear little one! Also hope that everything is going well. I have been feeling sick. Not terribly much so but it’s been a tough thing to deal with. My gag reflex is horrible. Everything makes me gag and almost throw up. It seems to be getting better so I hope I’m feeling good for camping! We have our ultra sound scheduled for Sept 16. I’m so excited! We wont be finding out the gender though.

I guess that’s about it! Hopefully I update sooner then later!

We had a wonderful appointment yesterday. We met with the female doctor in the clinic and she was a blast. Very funny and kind lady. With no questions asked we got to see our little bean again! So very beautiful. Healthy, growing, and a beating heart! What more can you ask for! She tried to describe what position the baby was in… let’s just say that was a funny sight!!

So after such a wonderful appointment and her saying things are looking great… we decided to share the news with everyone. A simple status change on Facebook and most people know! Lots of congratulations and well wishes from everyone.

I am almost into the second trimester. I’m 11 weeks and 5 days. 13 weeks is the special day, but I am already getting very excited. My heart feels light, my thoughts are filled with dreams and anticipation. I can not wait to feel this little baby, to touch this little baby, to welcome this baby into our family. This little one is so very loved already.

That’s all I have time for, I’m sorry I haven’t updated as frequently as I have hoped. I seem to be able to pop on the internet lots and frequently just don’t have the time or energy to post lots or update things!

I love my son. Every day he makes me laugh. He does such funny things. This is a picture of him doing “online banking” before nap time. Too cute!

Nothing much is new with me. Just passing time until my next appointment. I was supposed to get a root canal yesterday but the dentist refused. I couldn’t have agreed more. I am not in that much pain and the risks to the baby are just not worth it at all. We rescheduled for in a month, when things are much less risky for baby.

I’ve been cleaning like crazy today, but taking things really easy. I have been sort of sick lately. I get these random gags. It’s so nasty. I can’t even brush my teeth! But I have completed alot of my cleaning that needed to be done.

I guess that’s about it. Curtis has been taking up alot of my time, wanting to sing, dance and play. He’s such a handful, loads of fun!

Yesterday we had our first appointment. It went really well actually. They seem to all be very nice people, the nurses and doctors. I got weighed, I am around 154 I think? That’s sooo insane haha I was like 115 - 120 tops before Curtis! Let’s hope I don’t gain to much and can get rid of it all after this one comes. I was then instructed to pee in a cup, as usual, but I couldn’t. I just couldn’t haha. So the nurse laughed at me and said that’s fine we’ll try again after the appointment haha.

The appointment it self was really routine. She asked about our health, my previous pregnancies. She also asked about my birth with Curtis and how it progressed etc. She was a little surprised to hear it took 5 hours from water breaking to Curtis being born. I’m hoping this next one is just as quick, or quicker! hehe. She figured out my due date which is of course Feb 5 just like I thought. She was VERY nice and actually listened and agreed with me about my cycle and my knowledge of my body and such. Then we discussed miscarriages and I shared with her how nervous we were. She suggested that she ask the doctor if he had time to do a quick ultra sound. He did!!!

It was amazing. We got to see our little beanie, little blobby! We also saw it’s heartbeat! The doctor did some quick measurements and it’s all measuring right on time, 8 weeks! We thanked him profusely. We were so greatful to be able to see our little one. It really put our minds at ease. James is excited, especially after I told him that once you see the heartbeat a miscarriage risk is much lower because you know that it’s a healthy and viable pregnancy. He called me later on in the day to “share his excitement” from work haha. We are still going to keep everything a secret until closer to 12 weeks I think. We’ll see though, apparently James is having a hard time keeping it in!

This weekend should be fun. James is taking Friday and Monday off which gives him Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon, and Tues off. Tuesday is Canada day so it’s already a holiday. We are heading out to the inlaws house. They live VERY close to a lake so we’ll spend the day swimming, eating good food, and getting lots of sun and rest. It should be alot of fun. Not to sure when we are going or when we will be back but what ever happens is good.

I guess that’s all! We are both very excited that everything is going well. Can’t wait to share the news!

I haven’t updated in a while. There really isn’t much to say. Not much new. I’ve been pretty tired lately, just feel really run down. The weather is getting much nicer out so that helps me to get some energy.

Today me and Curtis went to the park. Alexis and Madison came along as well. Madison is just this adorable little girl! She is close to Curtis’ age, a bit younger. Curtis is growing up so much. He can climb up the stairs to the slide and go down the slide all by himself! He’s still learning to sit on his bum though so I have to plop him on his bum once he gets to the top. All I have to do is sit at the top though haha, he climbs up and goes down all by himself. He’s a great little guy.

This wait for my appointment is killer. 8 more days. In a way it seems to be going fast, in other ways, it seems so slow! Me and MIL went on a tour of the brand new hospital. It doesn’t open until Aug. It’s a new cancer place… so it has the TOP equipment for cancer research and patient care. But they also made a whole new hospital. The maternity wing is SO beautiful! I’m so excited. That’s really the whole point we went on the tour haha. The whole hospital looks like a display room in Ikea haha. There are 28 private maternity rooms, totally private. So nice. Beautiful views of the mountains. A gorgeous big bath room with a bath tub and a shower. Very nice storage places for all your belongings. A chair that pulls out into a bed for the DH/push coach. You labor, deliver, and recover all in the same room. Such a difference then when I had Curtis (he was born in a different city). Hopefully this makes it a nicer experience then I had before.

I’m tired. Going to go relax and watch some TV. 8 more days!

We’ve been doing so well so far. We haven’t told anyone that we are expecting another baby. Except of course our parents, my sister, and my best friend. Only about a month until we do! Apparently that hasn’t stopped others though… I got a MSN message from a friend telling me Congratulations. I was a little surprised. She said a friend told her. This friend apparently read my website? But this friend and I don’t talk any more, she’s done some things in the passed that I don’t like to talk about, and I don’t have it linked any where that she has access to. I’m just confused. This website is brand new and it is in no way intended for any but myself and online people. Of course I don’t take strong measures to keep it that way, I didn’t think there was a reason. I didn’t think that even IF someone found out that they would tell other people. Of course I thought the better of people…. apparently. So now I have no idea who knows. But I can tell you that if things don’t work out, I have no intention of letting anyone know… why? Because I don’t want that stress, that heart ache, that is precisely the reason I did NOT want to tell anyone until we were in a “safer” stage of pregnancy. Hopefully she has enough respect to stay out of my business and stop telling people.

Anyways, enough of that. We had a great evening on Friday. Marilyn came over and watched Curtis while we had a little night out. With James’ connections he got us free tickets to a Dance in Motion performance. It’s a compilation of different little dance numbers. It was alot of fun and VERY entertaining. It lasted 3 hours and in a way you felt like it was a long time but it really was very entertaining. They had all different ages, from pre school up to early adult. All different genres of music and styles of dance. Very well done for sure!

Today we are going to be going to the in laws for supper. Some relatives of FIL are here visiting so we are getting together at their place and having a great time I’m sure. Curtis will love all the attention and the food should be great. The invitation is “open” for us to come if we want, nothing official… but with a menu that seems catered just to me.. I can’t refuse. BBQ’ed farmer sausage, potato salad, lemon pie and chocolate pie. Totally to die for! I’m excited. So Hopefully that happens!

I got the About Her Life page completed. It’s quite long but hopefully sums up me and my family for new readers. I also added a bunch of new blogs to my link list on the right. All of them are mom’s, mom’s to be, or ladies TTC. Wonderful people going through some interesting journeys. Hopefully I can get the About Her Home page done soon as well as the Daily Snap Shot. I figured out how to do a page with out the comments so that is wonderful! I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!

I had my doctors appointment today. I think it went pretty well considering … it was short and to the point. Been there, done that!

So I peed in a cup, I actually did so not very gracefully and got some on the outside.. I’d like to say this is me getting back at the nurse who makes my son scream at every doctors visit. Although I know she doesn’t mean it.. I’m glad I got my revenge. Anywho! That tested positive which made my doctor confused. I’m only 4 or 5 days passed when I should have gotten my AF and he says that is too early to be testing positive on their tests.. so he seems to think that my AF May 1st was actually implantation and that I’m alot further along then I think. I beg to differ. I think he rarely has a woman come in this soon. That’s the joys of getting a freshly hired office person setting up appointments. I called on Friday and got in on Monday. I know I shouldn’t have gotten in until the end of this month.. haha. I care not. So either way I AM and STILL am pregnant.

I will be getting referred to the correct doctor and he will be seeing me here on out. I’m going to be scheduled for an early ultrasound as well, to check those iffy dates. I am just excited about an ultrasound! haha. As long as my baby beanie is growing and is healthy, beanie can come whenever he/she pleases!

I can’t help but worry. Worry. Worry. Worry.

I have hardly any symptoms. I am just tired and overly emotional. That’s it. I wish I was puking, had really sore boobs or SOMETHING.

Tomorrow I have an appointment with my doctor at 2:30… I hope everything is okay. I’m guess I wont find out anything reassuring tomorrow. I’ll get some blood work done or something and then go in at another time and then meet with my doctor yet again to compare levels. How stupid and long. I hate waits.

I have a feeling this is going to be an emotionally hard pregnancy. I’m excited and hopefully all the same. Grow, Baby, grow.

I feel as though I just wrote that a little while ago… and I guess that is true. I truly hope that this little baby sticks. We want this baby, we love this baby. This baby is supposed to be in my arms in Feb, I truly hope she/he is.

Today Curtis had a doctors appointment so Marilyn drove us there. On the way back we drove around to some townhouses that were for sale, checking things out. Some looked really promising, plus I just love looking at new homes. Anyways, as we were heading back I started feeling very unwell. I rolled down the window to get some fresh air. We blamed it on the driving, reading (I was looking at advertisments for places) etc. So she helped me bring Curtis in and get settled, chit chatted and said good bye and I ran for the washroom and got sick. Yuck, but I knew exactly what was going on.

I packed up Curtis and we had a nice walk to the grocery store… bought a test and came home. Yup a positive! This little cutey is hitting me big time! Hopefully I don’t get too sick! But I think if I keep having symptoms then I will feel better. I have a whole bunch of pregnancy tests coming in the mail so I’m going to pee on them all just too keep seeing that line!

I guess that’s all for now. I’m very happy, very excited just nervous and worried as well!

Apparently I don’t update over the weekend. I think it’s because James is sitting right next to me and it feels weird to know that he can read over my shoulder… I mean he is welcome to read my blog, not that he even knows the address nor does he care, but it’s just weird!

Anyways! We had a pretty relaxed weekend. On Friday I got my teeth done. Some cavities filled. Pretty much painless so no biggy! After that me and my MIL went all around town shopping. Grocery shopping, but it was still alot of fun. I’m doing this 1 Bag 5 Dinners thing by Kraft. Super easy recipes but gives us some variety as well as helping me to shop for what I need and only what I need. I just finished preparing some taco ground meat for the taco salad… just stuck it in the fridge for supper time. Thought I might as well do it when I have the time. Should be really easy to just throw together for tonight!

The weekend went by pretty fast. We had a little bbq on Saturday after going for a nice long walk. On Sunday the in laws came over and we played some cards while snacking on some cold treats! It was really beautiful out for the weekend so that was nice. It’s still pretty nice right now but it is a bit over cast and has a bit of a cold wind.

I put Curtis in his crib at 11:00 and it’s now almost 1 and he is still awake!!! He should be done napping by now.. but nope he’s just sitting in there talking away. I would think he would get bored!! Guess not. Hopefully he falls asleep soon and get atleast a couple hours of sleep. I hope by the time he wakes up it’s warmer and we can play outside while we wait for Daddy to get home.

Only 1 more day until I can take a home pregnancy test. Of course I don’t have any here.. so you’ll just have to wait till I have some! AF is due either 27 or 28
