YAAAAAY ~~ IT'S A BOY!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

April 1, 2008

Hi everyone, thought I would finally post a pic or two and say a hello blurb :)

This is baby number one for my partner of 5years Evan and I and although we were not family planning for another year we are most excited about it. The most common comment we would get from friends was that waiting for the right time could lead to waiting forever! So here we are, with-child and seriously excited!

I've had a lot of health problems over the last 3years so we've always felt a bit of concern with me carrying a child, but with a lot of prayer and going to the gym hopefully I won't run into too many problems!! I have a mild case of arthritis in my low spine that actually causes quite a lot of pain and renders me immobile for months at a time at least 2x per year. Along with active migraines, asthma and sinusitus I'm in for a most pleasant ride! ;)

I've been doing tons of research so feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions or concerns. I would also really love to hear from anyone else who has spinal arthritis who can share their pregnancy experiences with me.

I'm excited to get to know everyone and share our fears and joys during this amazing time in our lives!

Thank you so much for your message! You are a beauty yourself & your husband should be spending loads of time pleasing you. I too am in dire need of foreplay but I find myself initiating even when Im not in the mood just to get a reaction out of him. Maybe not the best thing to do but I think its healthy to keep a good sex life going even through challenges...which isnt exactly working. I too have shared all the yucky stuff with my husband (discharge, gas etc) and he's grossed out I guess. Well crap we gotta share it with someone right?! I have no friends with kids so this process although beautiful & exciting is a bit isolating for me so he gets to hear all the nasty stuff. We agreed not to talk about it in bed which is a bad habit on my part. He doesnt want to watch the birth, he wants to be in the room but just cant bare watching a head come through my vagina! I have mentioned the massage but I think I'll be on my own for that one! Im feeling quite angry and hurt about this as we are doing all of the work to create this life and are just being looked at like 'mothers' like we are not sexual beings. I thank you for your support and I think you are a beautiful girl. Like your situation my husband is a wonderful man & this unexpected reaction just hurts. Keep me posted...

Haha yeah, I can relate to the weight gain! About 25 pounds gained so far for me!! I feel really good about it though, but it is hard to see those numbers! You have been so regular with your workouts; great job!! I have had a harder time recovering from workouts...I have been pushing myself too hard and have to even avoid inclines when walking!? Oh well, I'll hit it hard after baby comes :)

She's here she's here! Birth story is posted if you're interested :)

Well it is her loss thats for sure! Just keep your head up. Family stuff is the worst but just remember that you are creating your own family now and thats all that matters. Im sure your mother will come around when she gets off her high horse which might be hard for you when she does decide. Im sure you will learn be a better mother after all of this.

Hello mamabare30, I just read your comment regarding your mom, and I'm in a similar situation. My baby was a planned baby, my partner and I actually went through a miscarriage before this current pregnancy. But then things turned absolutely wrong, and due to religion differences, and after a 3 year relationship, my boyfriend left me. Since then, my mother has blamed me for EVERYTHING, and has been treating me very badly, which is very unfair. Please don't let your mom ruin this AMAZING moment for you. She will come around when this precious gift is born. Enjoy your baby, and surround yourself with the rest of your family, and friends who fully support you in these times. GOD BLESS!!!

God Im really sorry about your mother! As you probably feel the same being pregnant has made me want to be a better person and I couldnt imagine shunning my girl when she needs me most. Has she pulled this kind of thing before? Scary thought but maybe shes jealous?

Alex143 - Tuesday, 15 July

Lmao incubate. What a great way to put it! lol I have actually heard that anything by Emily Griffin is a good read, so I might look into that, thanks :)

Good luck with everything! I will pray that you have a good pregnancy and all goes well. Congrats on your little boy. I think mine is another boy too! lol..

Hey ... WOW I'm tellin ya, I didn't expect people to read that blog, but if anyone was gonna read any blog that I've ever written, I'm glad it was that one. Thanks for everything you said. I know everything is gonna work out - it always does somehow. It's just stressful not knowing, especially when we're about to add another person to the mix. But, like you said, we're doing fine and we will continue to be ok.

I did talk to Ryan about everything last night. He was totally understanding and assured me that there's nothing to worry about. I am his priority and if she ever crossed the line he'd put her in her place right away. One big thing I should have added to the history of that whole mess is that not only was Ry the best man at their wedding ... he is the godfather of both their sons. Sick eh? Yeah, I told him how unnerving and twisted the whole situation is. He knows. I'm not one to tell him who he can and cannot speak to until I have very good reason to do so, so until she crosses the line I will deal with the fact that he is her best friend, has been for 9 years, and she is going to come to him with her problems. Thank God it really isn't that often that she does. As for the secrecy thing, I told him I didn't want to know who he'd been talking to, or what about, I just wanted him to know what it looked like. He swore he was just trying to shift to get comfortable. I trust him, so that's good enough for me at this point. So that whole thing is settled ... for now ... I made it very clear several times that I REALLY don't trust her and I'm really watching things with her.

On a completely unrelated note ... I had another baby dream last night ... only the baby wasn't born yet. She was getting close. When I looked down my throat I could see her little legs sticking out ... and at one point she climbed up and out my mouth and waddya know, I gave oral birth to my cat. lol

Hey I am from Mississuaga, not too far!!

RubySue - Wednesday, 25 June
You are too sweet, thank you :) I am SOOOO tired today it's unbelievable...I don't really feel like being very nice either hahaha. My other video is an older one called quick fix pregnancy workout or something like that. I hope to do that one Friday evening for the first time. I am just too exhausted with this heat and being so tired to force myself into it today :)

Hi there,
I know exactly what you mean... only I havent even had the dreams!!!!!! Not completely put off it, just not "in the mood".... its actually terrible! :-)

lizzie287 - Monday, 23 June
Well if it helps anything, Taitum has always been a boy name to me. I'd never heard of Tatum O'neal until she got busted for crack a couple weeks ago, and even then i was like, oh, it's a chick, weird lol. I like River too :) Yeah I'm over the Nicolas dream. Makes me feel better the more I read of other people dreaming of babies of the opposite sex of what they are/think they are having hehe.

Congrats on your little boy!

mamatess - Friday, 20 June
oh, THANK YOU! I had a chiro do some deep, soft tissue work today. Not my usual chiro, but a GREAT guy! I want to start swimming, I think. The cold water will feel good, and I can move my body without bearing all the weight. Thank you for the tips. Good luck to you!

lizzie287 - Thursday, 19 June
Well I didn't take an actual lamaze class, it talked about different relaxation techniques, birthing positions, the role of the birthing partner ... stuff like that. I pretty much knew everything they talked about, and have seen the videos on line, but it was nice to go, Ryan came with me and he got a lot out of it.

So have you decided on a name for your son? I'm sorry if you've already told me ... placenta brain has REALLY kicked in lately lol.

lizzie287 - Thursday, 19 June
The nurse said I was a bit dehydrated and my doctor said I over did it that day ... all I did was go out for lunch and go to a little shop for 20 minutes, so really, I have no idea what triggered them. I am as ready as I'll ever be to have this baby though. I took the prenatal classes, breastfeeding class and have had my hospital tour. The only thing I don't have is a watch to time contractions when the time comes ... I know, who in the world doesn't have a watch? I think I'm pretty much the only one lol. It's weird, I've started having frequent baby dreams, but nothing about the actual birth. My biggest fear seems to be breastfeeding! And yesterday I dreamed that I had a little boy named Nicholas Allen. I don't even like that name but now I can't get it outta my head. So weird. If I have a boy I'm completely screwed cuz I'm loaded with girl clothes and I'm dying to put them on my baby lol.

lizzie287 - Thursday, 19 June
Haha God no, that's the first time I've ever painted. I'm about as artistic as a squirrel. Ryan's mom is really crafty though and has taken several painting classes and does it quite often. What we did, if you're interested, is took some pictures out of a Winnie the Pooh book (there are more, smaller panels that are yet to be completed), photocopied them onto transparencies and used a projector to trace the pictures onto canvas. That one took about 10.5 hours that was meant to be spread over a couple days but, because of drawing issues, all ended up being done in one day (she was convinced she or her husband could draw the guys but got stuck on Tigger, hence the tracing). It was a good time ... I don't recommend doing it when you're 34 weeks pregnant though - my back was KILLING me by the end of the day!

I'm doing ok though. I quit taking the diclectin. I figure I don't really have anything to do now that I'm not working, so if I'm nauseous, I'll just rest, which is really what I should be doing at this point anyway. We had a scare on Friday, I was having contractions 5 minutes apart all day long and horrible cramps in my back. I swear I thought I was in early labour. VERY scary. After that, if I don't feel well, I don't push. Period. And since then, my cat has been the world's biggest suck! I sit on the couch and it takes her less than 2 seconds before she's curled up on my lap. When Ryan leaves for work in the morning, BOOM she's taken over his spot in bed (which is very odd - she's never slept with me). She follows me around like a little lost puppy, I can't get over it. Her maternal instincts must be kicking into overdrive cuz I know mine sure have lol.
