19 weeks!

Starting to round out a bit! 19 weeks! :-)


Linea Nigra

(Courtesy of Wikipedia)
*Linea nigra* (Latin
 for "black line") is a dark vertical line that appears on the abdomen during about three quarters of all pregnancies
 The brownish streak is usually about a centimeter in width. The line runs vertically along the midline of the abdomen
 from the pubis
 to the umbilicus
, but can also run from the pubis to the top of the abdomen.
 Linea nigra is due to increasedmelanocyte-stimulating hormone
 made by the placenta
, which also causes melasma
 and darkened nipples
. Fair-skinned women show this phenomenon less often than women with darker pigmentation...
AND I HAVE IT! LOL LO AND BEHOLD!

Taken from my view lol

Forgot to post this last week




7 More Days...

Until we find it if we are having a baby boy or a baby girl!

19 Weeks Baby!

Baby is the size of an heirloom tomato!

Baby T might look a little something like this...



Next week is our gender/anatomy scan! Yay! Can't wait! Baby had his/her first camping trip this past weekend. It was fun besides the fact that didn't get much sleep and it was brutally hot! The water was nice but I only went in up to my thighs just because it didn't look the cleanest.

5 Months Pregnant!

Snuza Halo

Since we are very paranoid about being good parents and making sure our little one is always safe, we have decided to invest in a Snuza Halo Movement Monitor.
Snuza Halo Baby Movement Monitor
"Snuza monitors your baby's movements. If there is no movement sensed for 15 seconds, Snuza will gently vibrate to stimulate your baby; If no further movement is sensed within 5 seconds, an audible alarm will alert you to act. Specifically, this monitor helps prevent SIDS deaths and lets new parents get a good nights sleep".
It is wireless and clips on to baby`s diaper. It is $150.00 but based on the reviews and it`s purpose of course, we think it is well worth it! :)
If you want to check out the link, here it is!

Our Baby is 18 Weeks :)

Baby is the size of a sweet potato :) 2 more weeks until we find out if we are having a baby boy or a baby girl! :D

Scrapbook Page

I made a timeline page for baby`s scrapbook. It is a little hard to see in the photo so I will tell you which milestones made the timeline:
4 weeks: "We found out about you!"
7 weeks: "We saw you for the first time"
12 weeks: "We told the WORLD about you!"
14 weeks: "Felt your first "flutters"
17 weeks: "Felt your first STRONG kick"
20 weeks: "We found out you were a..."
...and the next page will be a page announcing the gender. So excited! :D

Happy Mothers Day

Our Baby's Heartbeat :)

Hello everyone!
Today we had our follow up appointment. The nurse practioner was really behind so Joe came with me to the appointment but had to leave for his physio appointme.t before I went in. She went over the ultrasound she said everything looked good and that my due date is still October 15th! Also got my generic testing results back and the baby had a 1:50,000 chance of having down syndrome. I like those odds :-) She checked my blood pressure, all was normal. I told her about the heart pulpatations I had a couple of weeks ago and she said it's normal and I was just making a lot of fluids at that time. She wrote me a prescription for Ferrous Fumarate because my iron was slightly low. She then put the Doppler on my tummy and I got to hear our baby's heartbeat for the first time :) She found the heartbeat after a few minutes but as soon as she found it the baby moved away, lol. Just like it does when I'm poking at it! She found it again a few minutes later and I got to record it. She said it's a girl (based on the old wives tale I'm guessing! lol) Here it is!

I emailed the clip to Joe and when he picked me up from the hospital he was playing it on his car speakers, lol. Too cute! After that appointment I had our Prebirth Service which including registering at the hospital and some information about labour with a Public Health nurse. It made things a little more real, lol. Went over what to bring to the hospital, how many people are allowed in the room etc. Also, we are getting a family doctor! Yay! It`s in Cambridge right now but they are moving to Kitchener soon. They will take care of myself, Joe and the baby :)

Upcoming appointments:
May 28th - Anatomy and gender scan (asked the nurse practioner if they will tell us the gender that day and she said yes :))
June 5th - Follow up appointment with Nurse Practioner
July 17th - First appointment with Ob/Gyn

16w3d Belly Moving!

Craziest feeling ever! Feeling baby move and watching baby move at the same time!
First video is short. You can see it better if you do full screen.
Second video is longer but I'm taking big breaths in between, lol. Don't laugh at my "B" belly, lol.
