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!!!

19 Weeks and 1 day

I went for an Ultrasound today and the technician is trying to tell me that I miscalculated my period.......impossible!!! Anyway, the monitor was saying that I'm 17 weeks and not 19 weeks. Which pushes my due date to September 5th. The baby only weighs 6 oz and I have to go back in two weeks for another ultrasound! The tech was really nice, but I got 0 pics.

It was nice to see the baby though! It kept waving it's little hands at us as if it was saying hi, and stretching out it's little legs.........looked exactly like Kiki did.........

Well, hopefully in 2 weeks this child will gain some more weight, I'm getting worried............
