Hi All!!

My name is Megan. I'm expecting my first in July. It came as quite a shock and is still something i'm a bit overwhelmed about BUT the excitement is winning over anything else. I know it's early but i'm already picking names and talking about decorating nurseries. My biggest fear (of course) is m/c so i'm holding my breath for 12 weeks!!

So here`s my first exciting update.... I`m now getting used to the fact that i`m going to be doing all this as a single mom. Having heard Baby Bump's heart beat for the first time this morning (156BPM) It made me realize it `s the first of many things that Gavin is going to miss out on. It was such a high hearing that beat! I still can`t wipe the grin off my face>

So today was the first Ultrasound!! It was sooo amazing!! Now I have ANOTHER SURPRISE!! (as if there are not enough so far) I am 2 weeks MORE pregnant!! So instead of being due on July 27th i'm due on July 13th!! I'm looking forward to meeting baby bump 2 weeks sooner and not being super pregnant during the super heat of the summer!! Apparently everything looks good and he's super super active!! Wouldn't sit still at all during the exam!! I'll get photos up soon....Looks like I watch too much CSI as baby is face down in the uterus right at the bottom with arms and legs "tied" behind back. Too FUNNY!!!

Ok, so again i've been very bad at keeping up my blog regularly (but i'm new to this stuff so bear with me). I had another PreNatal exam last Friday (during a very bad snowstorm - so getting there was an adventure). Both baby and I are doing well. Blood pressure is great and I have only gained 6lbs since conceiving. My doctor was frowning, but I think this is good no? Baby's heartbeat is at 144 BPM. I'm still really really wishing for a boy but at least I have a girl's name now!! Cole John for a boy and Reese Elenor for a girl. The sperm donor has officially been cut out of my life. He did not give any support and all he would do is disrespect me and be completely inconsiderate and was just a complete negative drain on everything because all he thinks about is himself. Since cutting him out over a week ago life has been fantastic!! I'm getting amazing support from friends and from my family and everything is working out! I am sooo happy now and really excited about the pregnancy and the birth!! I get to find out the sex of my baby on February 20th (as long as he/she cooperates with the U/S) I can't wait!!!

So yup!! It's a boy!! Cole John!! (My father is already calling him CJ!!) He may also grow up to be an exhibitionist LOL!! It was the first thing the Ultrasound Technician saw on her screen and all lil Cole keep doing was spreading his legs and showing her again. I'm guessing that my stern talking to him the night before had him wanting to make sure Mommy got her question answered! I'm sooo happy that my feeling was accurate. I have already been going a little crazy with the purchases. It's unbelievable....and so real now....I can't wait to meet my little man (and put him in the little outfits i've been getting)!!!!

It's been awhile since I've had an update here (i'm so not born to be a blogger) but I thought since today I got the labour prediction done I could post that.

Madame Zaritska, our resident clairvoyant, wants to help you prepare for the arrival of your child. Here she does her best to predict certain aspects of your labor and birth experience.

What she senses for you
The day you deliver, outside will be windy. Your baby will arrive in wee hours of the morning .

After a labor lasting approximately 17 hours, your child, a boy, will be born. Your baby will weigh about 8 pounds, 13 ounces, and will be 19-1/2 inches long. This child will have blue eyes and a lot of hair.

So I don't know how excited I am about the 17 hours part...but the blue eyes?? Definitely!! I know it's all a game but she got the boy part right anyways.... =0) Life has been going well. I think i've settled on how i'm going to be decorating the nursery. I wanted something that even when Cole was a toddler it wasn't too baby-ish as i'm really not into all the cheesy baby stuff. The main colour on the walls will be a Creme Chocolate, Dark Mohagany Furniture and Splash of Polka Dot colour in Peacock Blue, Emerald Green and Sunkist Orange. I'm excited as the wall colour goes on tomorrow!! Cole himself is doing well. Seems to like mostly orange food (Cheezwhiz, Cheddar, Macaroni & Cheese, Cantaloupe, Peaches, Oranges, Orange Punch, C-Plus Orange.) I'm surprised my skin doesn't have an orange hue!! He's a very active boy now but is nice enough to still let me get a full night of sleep. (I think we sleep at the same time!) My doctor was concerned with me gaining 18lbs so far so I have upped my walking and am now doing light 8lbs weight lifting for my arms. I figure getting them all toned up will not only help prepare me for lugging around baby stuff but also burn some calories!! Okay...now time to get back to work and stop this novel!! I hope everyone is doing well!!

Oh well, I def. haven't dropped yet then....dang it, I hope I do soon b/c I'm hoping to give birth sooner rather than later (37/38wks would be perfect!!)

Wassup love, How are you both doing? Am fine but getting more impatient as the end draws near, seems like I can't even remember what life was like before this pregnancy! Her head is way down now and it sometimes feels as if there is a coconut in between my legs :) My doc hasn't even started checking me for dilation yet, maybe once we get closer. Anyways, enough about me just checking up on you, love to you and Cole xxx

I am so glad I inspried you!! Trust me, it is so worth it to be done. It is a lot of work to get it done though. I no longer have anything to do really before baby is here. Hubby still has projects though! Men are the worst procrastinators, and there is no more time to procrastinate! You sound so busy.. washing, organizing, painting. If you have the energy to do it now that makes more sense. It is only getting more tiring and uncomfortable.. at least for me! I have my bags packed for the hospital too. I just have to throw in a few items when it is actually time. The stuff that I am still using day to day. I feel more comfortable that if it were to happen that we are ready. I am going to include my dog as well, I understand what you mean. Mine is just a 6lb chihuahua (Lucifer or Lucy) so lucky for me she is really small and easy to manage. I am also glad she is a pretty laid back and non territorial chihuahua. We were lucky when we got her. She is definitely going to get jealous but me and Chip have talked about giving her just as much (if not more) attention than before. I can't wait until my son is old enough to play with her. My cousin that was 7 months old at the time got along great with her. She was VERY submissive too which I was glad to see. I worry more about one of my cats too. I don't want her to "snuggle" either. The other cat isn't a lap cat anyways so she will care less. I am also going to close the door to keep the cats out. We will see once baby is here how they react. It sounds like you are on track with everything. You feeling pretty well?

hi you.. i think i am leaking amniotic fluid - so i am going to call my dr tomorrow and get a fibronectin test done. things are going ok. i so badly miss my own body. i started crying today because i just can't stand being so big any longer.

buddysmom - Thursday, 5 June
Thank you!! It does feel SOOOOO good to be done. It was a lot of hard work. I imagine I will only be getting more tired and uncomfortable so I wanted to do it now. I am glad I can inspire :)

buddysmom - Thursday, 5 June
Thanks for the congrats. I have stressed more recently about random stuff too and money. The money issue is a little better since Chip got the new job. I am done with the clothes and my work on the nursery. Chip has a few projects to finish up in the nursery and house but I am pretty much done. It feels great. I busted my ass to get it done but it is so worth it. I am pretty calm about labor, probably because it is my first. I have also had surgeries and dealt with different painful conditions so I don't fear pain too much. I may be singing a different tune during labor. I figure, he has to come out.. One way or another. No use stressing too much, it is inevitable. You know? I am a little worried about those first weeks adjusting to it all. Whether I can handle it physically and mentally. I am so looking forward to it but know how draining it will be. Wow your parents are cutting it close! I hope they are back before the big day. I am sure they don't want to miss it either. I have 2 cats and a dog so I understand about hair! I figure the baby needs to learn to adapt to our lives in these ways. I am so curious about how the animals will react though. They were the babies first! Hope all is doing well with you. I posted some new nursery pics from today. It isn't completely done but almost. They are the last 8 pics on my page.

No apologies required! At least none from you... :)

My hands are not getting better that's for sure...I have a hard time grabing anything in the morning and now even typing is geeting somewhat difficult...I am all thumbs! My doc said to get wrist guards or those carpel tunnel braces they sell at the drug store...Haven't bothered yet. Let me know if you get any useful tips!

Otherwise, my feet are soo swollen it is discusting...I can only imagine what it will be like with the heat wave over the week end! I guess it is a good thing I bought a portable a/c (used) last week end! I am going to set it up tonight...

Sounds like your shower was fun! I went to my mom's (Montreal) for HER b-day and she had arranged for a little together with MY friends and I got loads more stuff! And poeple were so good: all I got that is new was off my registry AND I got tons of second hand clothes. I think all I still need is a breast pump, bottle and sterilizer, diaper pail and clothes hamper!

Is next week you last week at work? Although I love my job, I am starting to really feel it...And my commute is short ans sweet so I cna imagine what it must be like for you! And OMG, I started looking into day cares...Scary!!!!

Take care!
