Oh my goodness!!!! The time is coming soon............the baby has dropped! I feel alot of pressure in my lower extremeties. People are even commenting on how low I'm carrying lately.
It's a little sad that this pregnancy is almost over though. It is most probably my last one and I LOVE being pregnant!!! Oh well...I will take my healthy Zachary and pray that this child is just as healthy and live happily with that!
I've started charlie horses......WOW!!! I never had those while being pregnant with Zachary! Completely blows my mind!
So that's it for now. Not much going on except for a dropped belly!!!!!

34 Weeks
The countdown in on!!!! Last Saturday I had contractions that made me slow down to a snail's pace.......at my doc's apt this week the doc told me to slow down! But there's just a few more things to get done before I can relax for the Peanut.
Put our new room together, wash baby clothes and blankets and steralize bottles. See!! Not much more to do. It all works out.......
The baby moves around alot! But it's still moving up close to my ribs which makes me confident that it's still pretty high. We are not going anywhere yet.

33 weeks tomorrow!
I can not believe how fast the time is flying!! With Zachary the time seemed to inch along and with the Peanut.......I don't even notice.
I find it bittersweet to be honest with you all. This is probably my last pregnancy ever and I'm a little sad.....I'll never have this gorgeous belly again....never feel a baby move and snuggle inside....... Everyday all I want to do is go out, anywhere at all, so that as many people can see me with my beautiful pregnant belly. I want smolder it in time!!!
And then, I can't wait to see this precious little face. Can't wait to hold Peanut and kiss it and hug it and introduce it to it's Big Brother Zachary!
Lately I'm so emotional that I get tears just looking at my son or from getting a super great hug from J-P. One moment I'm in love with everyone and the next I want to be alone with my little family....and have no one interrupt our little serene world on St. Louis Street.
Time is running out fast though!! I still have to wash up all the baby items like the bassinet, the swing.......but that'll take one afternoon. Hang it all up outside and then it's done!!!
I'm having a really hard time sleeping!! I feel my skin stretch across my belly and I can't help but NOT want stretch marks so I get up and rub my Palmer's Cocoa Butter all over it! Then my back blocks up when I try to turn over or even get up to go pee.........Peeing!!! I pee all the freakin' time!!! And my boobs hurt.....well, more like my nipples.......They've started to produce collestrum and I find that when Zachary snuggles up it feels like I'm letting milk down! I'm hoping that means that I won't have as much of a hard time breastfeeding Peanut as Zachary.
J-P is starting to be more attentive....I think he notices that my body hurts and he feels bad. There really is nothing he can do about it except do what he's doing. Giving Zachary his nightly baths, serving me when I'm sitting for the night, wash the floors for me when he has time!!!

25 Weeks Today!!!!!
Oh my godness!!! I just glanced over at my widget and realized that I'm no longer in the 100 or do days left.......I'm in the 70 or so days left!!!!! A little feeling of panic just came over me!
Excitement too.........another little monkey running around and yelling at me, and then running over for a hug!!!! It sounds so cliché, but this is what I was put on earth to do. To love, nuture, bring up to the best of my capabilities......hopefully they won't be as corrupt as I was growing up. We always want better for our children, and I understand to the fullest what that means now. I wasn't a beaten child or anything like that, but sometimes things got so hectic with issues that I really should not have seen or heard, that I do remember being pushed aside. I don't ever want my babies to feel that way!!!!
Peanut is starting to get snug in there. Yesterday I layed down for a nap while Kiki slept and the baby kept kicking me in the same exact location. At first I tried rubbing it so that it could feel loved and at peace, but it wouldn't stop. Then I thought, what if the cords stuck around it's head? Silly I know, but some of you have no idea the things that run thru your head.
At my last doc apt, they finally told me that the baby was breeched. But that was from my last ultrasound in early May. It could have changed positions a million times by now. I'm tellin' ya folks!! I'm not too comfortable with the way that I'm being followed at that clinic. They forget to tell me things and then weeks later......oh yeah!! We forgot to tell you but.........
Well, other than that, nothing much is going on. Except that time is running out and the wall btwn 2 rooms needs to be brought down and then that big room painted for J-P and I, then Zachary's new room needs to be painted and tile laid down..lots to do. But I think once I'm done at the end of June, things will get into high gear.........well they have too!!!! At this point we have no place for Peanut and there is no way this bébé is coming into this world homeless!!!!!

23 Weeks and 6 days
Alrighty!! I was told to update my blog!
I'm getting huge!! I can't believe it, I'm definately a pregnant woman who is now officially waddling........... I really don't remember having this many aches and pains and as much of a bump with Kiki!
I had my monthly doc apt today. The nurses and docs cautioned me on my weight gain.....10 in a half pounds in one month!!!! I'm 10 pounds away from what I was when I gave birth to Kiki. Oh well! I really don't understand it though because I have jeans that still slip on......can't tie them up, BUT they are on!!!!
This child moves so much more than what my boy did.......vivacious little thing, it lets me know when it's not comfy!!! And I LOVE IT!!!!! It's probably my last pregnancy and I'm trying my best to keep every detail etched close to my heart. Like right now, it's moving and kicking!!
The other night I had a dream that I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl with a perfect little face like Kiki's and a head full of black hair. J-P and I were discussing a name for her and I just happened to look back down at her gorgeous little face and it was no longer a baby...no no....it was a puppy!!!!! White and beige little thing!! That dream upset me because we were so close to getting a name and then got sidetracked.............About a month ago, I had another dream where a girl's name was being echoed in my ears. I woke up thru it and tried to grasp at that name and lost it! Strange eh?!?!?!?!?
Guess what???? The docs agreed to put me off of work for June 20th!!!! I can't stand being at work any longer....I just want to bash someone's head against the freakin' desk.....I want to grab the damn computer and biff it thru a window!!!! No more patience for that.......I guess I have other things on my mind right now that feel more important!

20 Weeks and 2 days!
I feel good.....but I do have Braxton Hicks......can't help but think of my good friend haylie when I write Braxton Hicks (hope everything will hold off for a few more weeks for you sweetie!!)
I remember having BH with Kiki around 7 months. I told the docs at my apt this week and it's normal, I knew that. They are not regular.....they just happen at the oddest moment and for me the cramp goes all the way down to my croch!! Oh well.
My left ciatic nerve is acting up big time!!! Got a slip from the docs to get a massage, yahoo!!! LOVE those professional massages........it's been so long since I've had one, I deserve it!!
I'm tired too.......so tired.....but that goes with the territory. I force myself to go out for walks with Kiki, and once I start going I feel great!! Mind you, I sleep really well at night except for when I have to get up 2 to 3 times to pee!!
My belly has popped out by the way! I'm really now in full blown mat pants and skirts! My regular pants cut me off and peanut squirms too much. It's almost like I know that the peanut is getting squished......
All in all, this pregnancy is going well! No complaints, except of course for the normal prego stuff......

18 Weeks!!
This has been a week of downs and ups with emotion, worry and thinking!!! Last Thrusday I received a phone call to go in and see Dr. Voges for an update on my blood work. J-P and I went in and I was hit in the gut with, "There is a high possibility that your child has down's syndrome!"
Where does a parent go from there? You wait for the specialist to call you to let you know when your 3-D apt is in Moncton and you worry......you confide in those closest to you because your mind will completely drive you nuts with thinking and worrying. And if you are lucky, you have a wonderful husband who holds you while silent tears of hope and despair fall down your face......if you're even luckier you have a wonderful perfect child already at home that you follow around in awe to keep your mind busy.
We went to Moncton this past Tuesday and had a 1 hour session with Dr. Murphy who is wonderful!! She doesn't pussyfoot around anything and tells you that if she sees anything positive or negative, she will tell you right away.......she does not make you wait 2 to 4 weeks to see your regular doctor for results.....god love her!!!
The baby is fine! Perfect to say the least........it seems that my dates were off and that we didn't conceive when we thought we did. It seems so stupid now that that's all it was!! But that is what it was.......My due date is now September 11th instead of August 25th.
I'm relieved and so is Daddy!! I now have my appetite back, my sense of humour, my sex drive!! Everything is beautiful, including this child!!!
