Week 24

Well we are 24 weeks moving into our 25th week on Thursday. I have had a pretty uneventful pregnancy which is good I guess. I still have a very pathetic baby bump.. Everyone keeps promising me someday it will pop. I'm beginning to doubt it. The reason it concerns me is I'm afraid Alexander is not growing properly, not putting on enough weight etc. He is fantastic with his kicks and movements. I can now see him kicking my skin up which is awesome. Being able to not only feel it but see it. I had my baby doc appointment last Tuesday and the heart beat was good and strong 148-150 bmp. I was up 8 lbs. My baby doctor is very happy with that.

On the negative side our weather turned cold again, which makes it extremely difficult to get out and exercise. We did go to the sugar camps on Sunday and walked around for about 2 hours however since then I have not really done much exercise. Groceries yesterday and house cleaning today. Maybe tomorrow I'll get out or pop in my prenatal dvd. There are few days where I have an abundance of energy those days are usually saved for house cleaning or organizing.

Now that things are going to be moving along quicker I will try to update the blog. I have another ultra sound on April 18th. I have to do my diabetes test next week. I have one more monthly appointment with my doctor in April, then I move to bi-weekly appointments. Which will make me feel better as they will get to check the baby more often! Man I am such a worry wort! It's going to be an interesting year to state the obvious!

Going to post pics on another post because blogger is a pain to try to post an update and pictures in the update. :S

21 weeks

Hello all,
This week was our 21 week anatomy scan. On their scales I am only up 6 lbs.. so I'm up between 6-8 lbs total. Which is good! Just gotta start watching it a little closer.
I got my anatomy scan.. and we found out we're having a boy!!! YAY!!!! He is 12 oz :) His name will be Alexander Peter Dickinson. We are both over joyed that he is healthy! We were able to count all fingers and he had a good heart beat and a nice shaped head.. (although that thing is 4 cm wide already!!!) She said he looked good and healthy.
Dr Leblanc asked for a cervix scan thinking I may have a shortening cervix but since my symptoms only happened once, they chose not to. However since then I have been having the same symptoms so I went to the hospital for a checkup. Everything is great, cervix is closed and long :D So now that I have been reassured that the baby is ok and I am ok.. I'm hoping to be able to relax a little.
I love going for my ultrasound, I love seeing him move. It was quite funny today when they were listening to his heart he kicked the doppler lol... The best thing is they give us soo many pictures. We got 6 this time! I need to get them all to walmart and scan them in and print them out!
I will be posting some of them soon!

20 weeks!

20 weeks baby bump

Special appearance from Daisy!

Good week

Well we are 19 weeks on Thursday :) This has been a good week I've started feeling the baby move. My appetite is ok, I'm loving tuna and cheddar sandwiches mmmmmm! I had the energy to actually make a chicken dinner today. Although it is sooo much work, for a few minutes of yummy eats, then the clean up.. But it was yummy and Jon enjoyed it, the baby even gave a kick or two.

I have been a bit stressed this week because I worry about the baby. I hate not knowing what's going on in there. Thankfully I have a doctor appointment this Wednesday, then the following Wednesday we go for our 20 week ultrasound. Hopefully find out what the baby is. I have to meet with the FACT people at some point in March so I shouldn't worry to much about the baby. I get to hear/see it a lot!

My cravings-- broccoli casserole, sour cream and bacon chips and tuna sandwiches

Weight gained--4 lbs

Food aversions-- getting better I was able to force one salad into me this week

Inches gained--still around 5"

Goal for the next week--drink more water and workout at least 3 times

Pregnancy symptoms--Does baby kicking count as a symptom
