Pregnancy info

Ever since we found out we were pregnant my friend Carrie recommended an INCREDIBLE website that has been so useful for a newbie like me. It sends me an email every week letting me know what is happening to me and the baby. It also sends emails with random questions answered, things to know while you are pregnant, things to avoid, etc. It also has a place for you to type in ANY question and you get answers from doctors! I wanted to put it out there for anyone who would like info in an instant that is so good and true. This website has been better than the books I've read and has become a wonderful tool. The best part is the website doesn't stop at pregnancy, it keeps going right up to 9 yrs of age. I think I'm hooked :)

http://www.babycenter.com/ or http://www.babycentre.ca/ I found the US site to be better but both have been very useful.

Enjoy!

Baby update

Hard to believe I'm now 30 weeks. Only 10 more to go and we are getting so excited to finally meet this little peanut. We had another ultrasound this past week and what a difference from the last one. Quoting Lance, "It actually looks like a baby instead of a little alien." Everything is going along smoothly and looking good. My energy has definitely dropped from where it was a couple weeks ago as each movement takes more effort. I've GROWN that is for sure as you can see in the pic below but I'm feeling overall really good.

We have pretty much finished the baby's room as well. What a fun project that was to put together. We went with a Teddy bear theme and can't wait to introduce this little one to their new room. :) Only a few little things left to get this month and next and we should be set with the necessities.


Lance and I are enjoying time for us and look forward to more day trips this summer. We have been taking every moment to just enjoy our little family of 2 before it changes to 3. Lots of spontaneous 'dates' on the weekends and evenings which is so much fun.

Summer is finally here!

After the rest of the nation seemed to be experiencing a wonderful, warm summer that started in June - the lower mainland in BC just kept getting hit with rain and cold and damp horrible weather. I'm happy to announce that summer has finally arrived and it came with a bang this week. The temperature went from 17C to 30C overnight. It was a bit of a shock to most as we all still had our heat on in our homes last weekend, but overall we are happy for the sunshine and hot days. It did reach 35C yesterday which is a bit too hot for my liking but has gone back down to 30 today.

Everyone has been quite concerned about me in the heat being pregnant but I must say I'm doing okay. But then I have it pretty easy :) I work in air conditioning all day, drive home in AC and our basement suite is also really nice and cool. It has been a bit uncomfortable trying to sleep . . .or should I say stay asleep as you wake up hot but the fan has really helped. The only part that is swelling are my ankles and only a bit compared to some. I am blessed! I much prefer warm sunny days to rain, damp cold ones. Hopefully the sunshine sticks around for a while.
