The ball is finally rolling

Well to my dismay Dr Coe is retiring and not taking any more patients. This sucks! So I went to my family Doctor for a new referral. Apparently there isn't a single Doctor in St A taking new patents right now. This sucks. So Dr A is hooking me up with his professor! At least I'll know he knows what he's doing! The biggest problem with this is he's out of the Hias center in Edmonton (near kingsway). Which means I'll have to deliver at the alec! That sucks! But oh well, what ever gets the baby out safely I guess. We'll just have to be more carful about timing this time.

I've been feeling much better lately. My nausea is almost gone now only a little around 4pm still. My back feels ten millions times better. It seems that peanut has decided to end the torcher for a time. I' still rather tired but that's to be expected.

My sister is set to arrive in under 2 weeks! I'm super excited! I can't wait to meet Avleen for the first time! Not to mention my uncle who is supposed to be coming at the same time. I can't wait!

OMG! It's the Devil

Yup this baby is the spawn of Satan! (well not really) but OMG I'm getting every symptom of being pregnant.

I'm nauseous at least 3 times a day!

I'm tired all the time

My ass back is hurting aready!

My nipples still hurt when touched by even my shirt! Let alone my hubby! TMFI?... sorry ladies.

I got the heart burn me and tums are once again best buds.

I feel dehydrated but if I drink to much water I feel bloated!

I'm beyond grumpy almost to crazy!

I hope this is only a first trimester thing. I don't know if I can handle this for another 6 months.

I guess it really is true that every pregnancy is different. This one is a heck of a lot harder then the last. Part of that is having to care for the 1st one while one feels like crap. I'm sure that's part of the tired part.

Oh well, I guess it all leads to something wonderful. Maybe this one is a girl? My sister said that she was sick and tired for her second one. But then again that could be the whole second child theory too. All we can do is think pink!

I'll keep you posted. I'm really trying not to complain to much, but I really do feel like crap.

Sick, Sick, Sick

Morning sickness my ASS!

This peanut is giving me nauseousness morning, noon, and night! I do mean this literally.

I'm sick in the morning when I wake up, I'm sick again around 1pm, then again around 10pm! It's horrible!

With Evan I was sick when I woke up, a got it out of my system then I was fine for the rest of the day! I'll take that again please, please?

Scary Spots

Okay so on Sat morning I awoke to spots.

I feeked out a little inside as the day progressed and I prayed and willed it to just STOP!

During my pregnancy with Evan I had several spotting days. But this time I'm more aware of what they could lead to. I was blissfully unaware to the dangers that lay head.

Anyway I continued to pray and will all day at work, I took it as easy as I could. Placing myself at the till as to not be stuck carrying heavy food bags or lifting at all. I was super wussy all day long but I made it through my shift. We went to go see Jordanna at the hospital and my dad afterward. When we got home I checked again and the spotting wasn't getting any worse, but it wasn't totally gone either. I did my best to sleep, but found myself worrying to much, I slept like crap.

The next morning on Sunday I got up and checked right away. Nothing. No spots, nothing.

I breathed a huge sigh of relief! Few! Maybe God is going to let me keep this one.

Luv ya ladies!

Good News, Bad Fears

Okay so as we all know I miscarried the last number 2 child. It was very hard and scary to try again, and frankly I'm still freaked that it will happen again. I didn't want to let myself got to emotionally involved until this morning when I got my first bout of morning sickness. Not that I wasn't taking care of myself, its not like I went out and had a Margaretta. I'm still scared to get my hopes up, too scared to start thinking of names or looking at baby stuff. I'm so scared it will hurt even more this time if the worst should happen.

I am going to say that in the 11 weeks of the last pregnancy I didn't feel any symptoms. No tender boobies, no morning sickness. I just got the grumpies, oily skin and a lot of cramping. This time I'm getting all the normal ones! I'm peeing like crazy, I swear my nipples are going to fall off, and well as explained I got the sickness. So I guess that gives me the hope that all is as it should be, despite my discomfort, it comforting to know my body is doing what it should.

I'm at about 7 weeks with a due date of about Dec 14th.

Well that's it for me today. Have a good one ladies.

Oh Jordanna, if you read this before I get a chance to tell you I'm sorry, but I figured you had enough on your plate right now. I thought I'd keep it on the down low.

I love you ladies.

Its over before it really began.

I noticed some spoting on Wednesday, I noticed some cramping on Thursday. By Friday morning I knew something was up. I tryed calling my OBG-closed. I tryed calling my Family docter-also closed. Earl was home, I told him to call Ave, we're going to Emergency.

To make a long story short the results of this trip to the Sturgeon are horrible. It turns out the baby has not developed since week 8 and my body is just now realizing it.

So that's it, now I wait with pads on hand.

I'm of course devastated. I thought this could never happen to me. My 1st pregnancy was after all problem free. OMG! I can't believe this, I can't believe this, I can't believe this!!!! WHY!!!!!

So I guess this blog ends here.

Good bye number 2.

Please refer back to my 1st blog for future postings.

BBB Yaahoo morning!

Yaahooo!!!!! I actually got some sleep last night! Evan went down to bed at 9pm and didn't come into our room till 7:30! I was so proud of him. He got a special Thomus the Train puffy sticker that I've been saving for very proud moments. I'm hoping this will be a good incentive for him to keep up the good work. A rested Mom is a happy mom after all. My fatigue was starting to hit narcoleptic proportions!

Stickers seem to be the ticket for my boy. He loves them! They're cheep! I love them too. But I think I have to get him a sticker book or something because I keep finding them all over the house. On the tv stand, some of his toys, on the bottom of my socks! I find my feet sticking to the floor sometimes! lol Yup a book is definitely in order! Dollar store here I come!

Well that's pretty much my news. My 1st doc appointment was moved to this coming Monday. (don't ask, lets just say I was once again ready to punch the receptionist in the nose, but she's been fired, so yippy no more screw ups) Anyway so Monday at
3:45 it is.

I also had a doc appointment with our family doctors for 2 reasons. I've been going in every three months about Evan's talking or lack there of. I also wanted to let Dr Anderson know about #2. He was happy that there would soon be another baby in his practice, and gave me a congratulating pat on the back. I said was I was getting rather concerned about the talking issues. I explained about how Evan doesn't get "L" he moves his tong from side to side instead of up and down. This has me concerned, take notice when you talk, your tong is constantly moving up and down! That motion seems like a very important skill for regular talking. Dr Anderson understood my concerns, said he still wasn't overly concerned with the issue, but asked if I wanted to be refereed to a pediatrician who in turn will refer me to a speech therapist. I said heck yes, lets get this ball rolling! I don't want to be dealing with first time speech appointments and a new born at the same time. Maybe if we start earlier we can nip this in the butt before it gets worse. Yes I feel guilty, no I don't really think its all my fault. Being a parent is weird!

Well that's all for me today ladies.

Have a good weekend!
