23 Weeks

Super tired today...bleh!! Sleep is getting more difficult I have found...also fighting for the bed with a husband and dog is getting old!!!! Last night I was on the verge of either kicking the dog off the and Jeff out of bed or going downstairs to sleep!


As you can tell I had a rough night and no I am not looking for sympathy I am simply COMPLAINING...lol~!

So I had this post saved because I was going to get Jeff to take a picture of me this weekend and yup never got to it. So here is my post with no picture BUT I promise to take one this week as I will be 24 weeks (for some reason I like the even numbers better...lol).

Oh one a plus side we finally got our new front door installed...it has only been in the garage for almost a year :).....I never realized how crappy the old door was...this was shuts so nicely...good job Gary and Jeff!!

"Possible" Baby Boy Names

So...many of you have been asking if we have any names picked out yet and I can honestly say NO! Although the list of names below have all come into discussion on a few occasions now so I have started to make a list.....some are strictly first names while others are middle names....but sorry you will have to wait until sometime in August before we let you know what we have picked... :)

Oh and not all these names we "agree" on...lol...some Jeff likes while there are others that I prefer....with the exception of 2 that we basically agree on.

*Grayson
*Mattson
*William
*Gavin
*Parker
*James
*Alexander
*Hudson
*Jacob

22 Weeks on April 16th

I apologise I started this post and just now realised that I never actually posted it and it was sitting there ready to be done.

Monday - April 13
Not sure what baby was up to in there today but it felt like he was playing football or wrestling....that or he really enjoyed all the shopping/rocking that I did while in Edmonton this past weekend.

Tuesday - April 14
Started Aqua fit tonight and I LOVE it! I feels so good to work out as hard as I want to or as little as I want to. I did about a medium work out tonight as I want to see if I am sore tomorrow before I decide to step it up! I am so thankful that I have been able to be quite active through out this pregnancy so far.

Wednesday - April 15
Not sore at all this morning which was nice...so that means I can work out twice as hard on Thursday :)
Our baby boy has been very active since Monday....the most I have even felt him...morning....all day and into the night (thankful he goes to sleep around when I do because I'm not sure I could go to sleep with all that moving.

Friday - April 17
Man was I ever wiped out this week. Shopping all weekend getting home late, Monday was also a late night, then Tuesday Aqua fit which helped me sleep for 5.5 hours WITHOUT A PEE!!!, then Wednesday massage (which was heavenly...so glad Jeff's work covers them because I can see me having a lot more in the coming weeks), Thursday Aqua fit again which was so much fun...my neighbour and I laughed so hard...lets just say I am glad we were in the pool ;)....so looking forward to a relaxing night.

Well so much for that relaxing night I was asked to go play Bingo tonight...you heard me right BINGO...hehehe. It actually was a lot of fun and for $21 you can play for 2.5 hours...unfrotuntely we didn't win anything but we had some good laughs at the expense of some of the "hard core" regulars...lol!

Tomorrow I am off to go shopping with my Mother in Law and then relax for the rest of the weekend...I hope.

21 Weeks

So this afternoon I went to my doctor and had my monthly check up. I was slightly disappointed that they did not have my ultrasound results but it was expected as it usually takes 7 business days too get them from the hospital.

Doctor said every looked really good...babies heartbeat was between 152-155bpm (which is good)....blood pressure was good....weight YIKES I gained 8 lbs in 5 weeks....guess ice cream every night is not a good idea :) For a total weight gain of 10 lbs.

Doctor was not concerned at all but asked if my sweet tooth comeback and I said yes...she said that it is very common between weeks 16-25 for you to crave sweets again and therefore gain more weight....lol.

So tomorrow we leave for Edmonton with Mike and Amanda and I have to say I am REALLY excited!! I have not been to Edmonton since I was about 11 or so...plus I can't wait to shop for little boy stuff :) :)

I will do a post when I get back with some updated belly pics for those of you far away.

We are having a.......




YEAH!! Both Jeff and I did not have a preference as to what we were having. Although I have thought since the beginning that we were having a boy but Jeff was convinced it was a girl.

Sorry no girls for our families this time....sorry guys :)

Here is our ultrasound picture at 20 weeks 4 days....and yes we all saw that we are having a little boy FOR SURE...lol!












We invited Jeff's parents to come to our ultrasound not knowing for sure if the tech would allow them in. When I went into the room told the tech that my in-laws were also here and that they do not have a daughter and if she didn't mind I was wondering if she would mind letting them come in when Jeff came in....without hesitate she said it would be not problem! It was very neat to be able to include them in that.
The tech was great showing everyone babies head, eyes, hands, toes, feet ect and explaining everything along the way. On a couple of occasions it looked like baby was playing peek-a-boo with us which was very precious.
Next step is my next doctor's appointment which is Thursday, April 9th. I'll keep you posted and hopefully they will have the results from the ultrasound.
