To bad all my prior posts have been erased =(

So....tomorrow will be 4 weeks since we lost are little one, he or she was about 6weeks. A couple days after our loss we already had a planned trip to Maui.....that helped us a lot with our grieving. Then we come home and it was back to reality. My Fiance and me are not using any protection and I'm not back on the pill but I'm not going all crazy with planning our baby dancing....we just do it when we want to.....well.....when I want to...lol.

I have heard that it has taken a year until a women has got pregnant after a M/C and i've also heard 2 weeks!! I hope it's not a YEAR!!! We are planning our wedding right now that is to take place in a year....and we reallly want a baby before then. I'm hoping I'll be pregnant no later than November....maybe some will think its to soon.....but my Doctor told me we could start trying at anytime.

I have not seen AF suince the end of July.....we got pregnant in early August......we M/C in mid september....and I haven't seen her!! So i don't know what's up. Keepin our fingers crossed!!

October 14th, 2007

Well well well......my sweet fiance, Hunny Bunny, took me away to Seattle for some Outlet shopping this weekend for my 30th Birthday (Tuesday). Wicked deals.......and so so nice that the Canadian dollar is doing awesome right now :)

Anyways........woke up this morning in our Hotel room and there she was. AF. I was sad but also kind of happy that I now knew where I was at in my cycle. So it took me 4 weeks and 5 days, since the day I m/c, for AF to visit. I know we all wonder/ed how long it takes.

Well.......hopefully she's here for a good time...not a long time and then me and the hubby and can get at it! :)

It's Baby Dancing Time!!!! Keepin my fingers crossed!

November 5th, 2007

AF is due to come on the 11th. I'm not going to test. I'm going to wait until the 11th and AF doesn't come then i will test that evening unless I feel like she might be coming then I might wait a day or two. HA.....who's kinding who....I'm sure I'll test on the 11th. So I hope she doesn't come and I'm crossing my fingers for not only me but for all of you who are ttc!! 6 more days!!!!

November 8th, 2007

Grrrr.....3 more days until the big test. It seems so far away. Since I ovulated I felt sick a couple of days...then nothing...then I had cramps...and then nothing...then I had cramps again...then nothing....last night I had itcy BB's......today I have had nothing. So I don't really feel pregnant.......well I don't feel the way I did when I got preganant back in August....but the only symptoms I had was sore BB's and i thought it was because i went off of the pill, but it turned out I was pregnant. Anyways....my BB's have not been sore this month. Bahhh...this sucks. I really really wanted it to be this month. Well, I keep telling myself that I have to stay positive and that maybe I've been so bitchy lately because I am pregnant and not because i quit smoking 2 months ago. Please Please Please give us a sweet baby!! I'll let you all know the results on Sunday. I wish the rest of you that are TTC all the best and tons of baby dust.

November 11th, 2007

I haven't tested yet. AF hasn't come. Yipeee!! I will update you all later today......hopefully showing a BFP!

November 11th, 2007

So get this.....the fiance doesn't want me to take the test today. We just finished dinner and i was going to take it because it has been making me crazy. I wanna know! He thinks that it'll be more fun if we wait a couple of days to see if AF comes or not. Baahhh.

November 13th, 2007

I still haven't tested....and AF still hasn't shown up. Good. Last night I had period like cramps :( but still no sign of AF. Strange. I'm usually very regular with my cycle....so I thought. I'm not going to lie to myself....I just don't have any signs of being pregnant.....but I think I have read that some ladies don't get any symptons until the are like 6 - 8 weeks pregnant....anyone else every hear something like this?! Bahhhh.......please, please, please keep AF away from me and give me a BFP!!

November 14th, 2007

I'm at work right now and I just text messaged my Fiance and told him I can't wait any longer....I need to test!! So we are going to take the test as soon as I get home from work!! YAY!! All day today I have had tiny little short pains in my tummy and i felt a little sick on the way to work.....I hope it's not all in my head. If we do get a BFP tonight....I pray that this will all work out and I will have a strong, healthy, safe pregnancy!! 6 hours to go ladies!!!

November 15th, 2007

YAAAY!!!!!!! Guess what I got last night ladies!!!!? BFP!! I am proof that there is hope! Thank you to all of you that sent lots of baby dust my way! BFP!!!! I am going to see if I can get in tomorrow to get a blood test done so I can see what my HCG level is at. And I know I am going to be a little paranoid through all of this because of my M/C back in September but I'm hoping that this is my gift. Thanks again for all of your support and Baby Dust to all of you that are TTC!

November 16th, 2007

Well.....because of my m/c in September I'm a little freaky about everything right now. So I've decided to go to the doctors this evening and request a blood test for sometime this weekend so they can check my Hcg level. I haven't had many pregnancy symptoms except for breaking up with my fiance everynight.....poor guy and today on the way to work...while driving....I thought I was going to vomit. Oh...and i have acne!! Anyone else experiance Acne?? Anyways...i'll keep you posted and thanks to all of the Congrats you have given me!!

~*~*~Sticky Baby Dust to All of You~*~*~

November 17th, 2007

I got my blood tests done this morning........I fainted. Crazy eh!? I have neveer fainted in my life. The nurses said I was out for a good 15seconds. Wow....that really shook up my morning. Anyways i feel fine now. So now I;m waiting for my Doctor to call with my blood test results.....the tests are just to make i'm healthy. I told the doctor that the the place i made my appointment at didn't want to see me until Jan 2nd......I told her that I wanted go in sooner because I'm paranoid because of the m/c I had in September. She agreed. She is going to get me in there as soon as she can. YaY! I'll keep you posted.

Wow....my back is killing me!!

November 20th, 2007

Hello Ladies!! I'm 5w2d....YAY! Waiting for my Doc to get the blood test results. The maternity clinic didn't want to see me until Jan!! But...I had a m/c in Sept. so my other Doctor is going to get my appointment changed for sooner. Thank goodness. So...i feel a little sick on my way to work every morning....my nipples really hurt....i'm wearing a sports bra to bed!!....my acne is starting to calm down though....i'm still moody....i feel fat already (must be bloated)....but all in all....I feel fantastic and I love feeling these feelings....just shows that my baby is growing!!

November 21st, 2007

Well.....I have fun news! My appointment with the Maternity Clinic was booked by my other Doctor today.......instead of me having to wait until January she got me in for Novemebr 27th!!!!!! YAY!!!!! That is less than a week away! I'm not really sure as to what they are going to do to me......I don't think you can hear the babies heart beat at 6 weeks so I don't think i'll get that :( but any kind of reassurance is cool with me.

NOVEMBER 22nd, 2007 - American Thanksgiving!!

TO ALL OF THE AMERICAN LADIES I WISH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY A VERY HAPPY THANKSGIVING !!

November 27th, 2007

I thought i would just post on my page rather then copy and paste my message to a hundred of you :) I had my first appointment today...ANNNDDD......and nothing.....lol....I met my Doctor and she just asked me a bunch of questions about my history, family history and so on and that's it! Boring. BUT...my first ultra sound is this coming Monday! YAY! So that'll be fun. And my physical examination is on Dec. 18th. Ummm....probably not as much fun.

I feel, tired, kinda yucky sometimes, I'm always hungry yet I never know what I want to eat, my bb's hurt and i'm still kinda moody. So basically......I'm great! :)

November 29th, 2007

I'm freaking out. I've been up since 4:30 this morning trying to figure out why my BB's no longer hurt and why I was, and are having these sharp cramps. I m/c back in Sept. and I woke up one morning and my BB's didn't hurt anymore and then the next day I m/c. So I'm soooo scared right now!! I know that some cramping can be normal but has anyone experianced there boobs hurting only of and on and not ALL the time? I have my first u/s on Monday, I don't want to be disapointed :(

December 3rd, 2007

My BB's started to hurt again....off and on. They don't hurt today :( I have being feeling nausea through out the days so that made me think good thoughts, however, I have figured it out to be my prenatal vitamin that is making me feel gross :( I was hoping it was the baby. I guess this afternoon will tell me either good or bad news. I wish I wasn't so paranoid. I'm so busy at work and I have a final exam at school tonight....I'm just so busy and stressed right now. I hope all goes well. I will update later today and let you all know how the u/s went. Wishing you all lots of Baby Dust!

Ultra Sound Update:

Just got home form my first ultra sound. They did a belly one and not a "inside" one...i don't like those ones. I had to pee so bad it hurt!! But totally well worth it :) Made my day :) It is confirmed that I have a sweet baby living inside of me! YAY!! Heart Beat was 154bpm....very good! And he/she measured right at 7weeks 1 or 2 days!! Awwww.....what a crazy feeling. I'm so excited!! The only thing that sucks is that I don't get another u/s until I am 18-19weeks! That's so far away.

So mmy next Doctor appointment is December 18th. This appointment is for my total body physical....fun. I wonder if I can tell anyone yet. The only people that know about this one is my Fiance, his mother, and my best friend. I really want to tell my mom but she was so upset over the loss of my last pregnancy. Maybe I should still wait. We'll see. Take care ladies......Baby Dust to all!

First Ultra Sound - Measures 7weeks 1day, Heartbeat 154bpm

*Don't freak out...that bright light is the flash from my camera....its nothing crazy!*

January 17th, 2008

Had an appoinment yesterday. Listened to the heart beat (but i already have heard it because I rented a doppler...hehehe) and the Doc said that the baby sounds strong and great!! Makes you feel even better when the Doctor says it. So she said "Go ahead and start telling everyone!!" So I think I might just do that!! :)

My next appointment is Feb.13th. This is for my triple screeing blood test. And they are setting up my ultra sound appointment for when I am 18-20 weeks and will call me with the appointment date. YAY!!! That's what i'm stoked for!! I want to SEE my sweet bean!!

I'm still in my regular clothes and have only gained 1 pound. I'm sure I will balloon shortly ;) A few pairs of my pants are feeling a bit tight so I'm almost due for some SHOPPIN! My skin is still acting up with acne and it's really dry...but maybe it's just the weather. I thought my mood swings and crankiness was easing up....but not so much....I'm still a bit of a b*$%h. I think a man should be supportive enough to be patient with you during this time. It's easy for people to say "ohhh it's only 9months" why can't I say the same to them? "Ohhh suck it up, it's only 9 months and i'll be back to normal". Unless you have been through a pregnancy you really have NO idea. No idea.

So I'm waiting to get fatter, for people to notice i'm pregnant, for an ultra sound so i can see my baby, and then having this baby and getting on!! Summer nights on the boat in the water with a cold one.....I can't wait! But I can't wait to kiss and snuggle and hug and cuddle my little bundle of joy! Hurry up and let the fun begin!!

*** Ultra Sound is scheduled for February 25th ***

3 more sleeps until the big Ultra Sound. YAY! I just found out that BC is the only province in Canada that won't tell you what the sex of the baby is. Boooo. Everyone wants it to be a surprise anyways, except for me. Oh well, I guess I'll have to wait.

At my last appointment, last week, I took the triple screen blood tests and my Doc said that if the tests came back positive that they would call me by friday, LAST friday. I haven't heard from them so I'm guessing that's a VERY good sign! YAY!

So i'll be 19weeks on Sunday....thank god! Does anyone else feel like time is standing still?? My goodness. Anyways, I think I've felt the baby move, every night I do. I can't wait until it starts kicking and then I can share the experiance with daddy. My pre pregnancy weight was 134lbs. and I'm now 142.5lbs. So I think that's a decent amount of weight gain....not too much, not too little?

I've been super sick the last couple of days. And it's true.....you can't take anything except for Tylenol, but you are allowed throat lozenges (Halls) for some sort of soar throat relief.

My tummy is growing :) People must know that i'm pregnant and hopefully not just porky. My nails are still chipping but for the last 2 days seem much stronger...i HOPE for LONG nails :) My skin is STILL crappy. My skin is so dry and these pimples on my face are driving me insane. I feel ugly and gross because if them. Makes me depressed.

Anyways.......1 week away from being half way. Hopefully the next half goes by faster (doubtful).

I'll update after my Ultra Sound! Can't Wait!!!

February 29th, 2008

Here's Baby!!!! 19 weeks 1 day.

I had my ultra sound at 19weeks 1day on Monday, Feb 25th.

Baby has 2 arms, 2 legs, a healthy spine, heart, brain etc.... Baby is perfect and beautiful :) He/She gave Daddy and I a great big yawn! It was the most amazing things I have ever seen!! Soooo cute. I really think I want to get a 3D ultrasound done.I want to see baby some more!!

So they wouldn't tell us the gender. It's their rules. The tech was a sweetheart and felt bad that she wasn't able to tell us, but what can you do. I'm ok with it. I was just happy to see and hear that our sweet jelly bean is healthy :)

2 more days until i'm 20 weeks. Almost half way there! I'm so stoked.So excited! I can't wait to be a mommy.

July 1st, 2008 - HAPPY CANADA DAY!

It's been a long long time since i've updated this and thought I should. My last post I was almost 20 weeks...wow.....i'm now 37weeks 2 days. Has time flown? Yes and no. I mean, it doens't seem like it was almost 20 weeks ago that i updated this thing....that was a long time ago!! Anyways in the last 17 weeks or so I have experianced the following:

- Tired one day, full of energy the next

- Feel the baby kick and punch on a daily basis....this is my favorite part of being pregnant

- In total I have gained 40lbs.....youch! ;)

- Now experiamcing swollen fingers and feet......but only my right foot....weird.

- Still moody as hell! ;)

- Sleeping sucks. Heartburn sucks.

- Oh-Oh....is that a stretch mark i see???? S*&t! I thought I was going to get away with no marks! Nope....there is a couple of small ones at the bottom of my tummy. Damn them.

At 32weeks, a day or 2 before i had an ultrasound I lost my mucus plug. SEE....this does NOT mean you will go into labour shortly! At my ultra sound they confirmed I did in fact lose it but I wasn't dialted and the doc told me that the plug would probably grow back. Just an FYI. ;)

- I was measuring large so I was given another ultrasound at about 32 weeks. It was harder to see baby but we did get a good look at the knee and foot that keeps jabbing me! And a great pic of his/her face. CHUBBY cheeks!!

- Babe is measuring about 2-3 weeks larger. That doesn't mean that he/she will come early, it just means that they are bigger ;) His/her head is of normal size for age, however the fear is that babe's shoulders and tumy are larger and we don't want baby getting stuck on it's way out. This situation is called "FETAL MACROSOMNIA". I have an appointment with a specialist tomorrow so he can compare my pelvis measurements to baby's measurments. I have a small pelvis...this is why they've sent me to this specialist. Soooo, we'll see. There might be a c-section in my future, which sucks but baby comes first....i don't care what they do to me as long as baby is ok.

So here I am.......3 days left of work. Anxious about my app[ointment with the specialist tomorrow. Waiting for baby to come. Hospital bags are packed, nursery is complete, house is pretty much ready to go (have to wash the floors by hand still), bought a new car.....we needed a four door ;), had my baby shower, and I really don't htink my stomach can get any bigger!!! So lets get this show on the road!

Oh......1 small thing. We still haven't agreed on names. Gahhhh....I don't even want to get in to that!
