I began to get a feeling that maybe I would be one of those poor women who had to be induced three times before being told they had to have a c-section. After all I was already at least 9 days overdue as our ultrasound indicated that our due date was April 27 rather than [...]

Today is May 2nd 2010 and no baby yet, no sign either! Yesterday we spent the day walking, taking long drives on bumpy roads and several minutes of stationary bouncing but to no avail.
I was experiencing a sharp almost sting like pain very low and deep inside from what I can only describe as possibly [...]

The weeks are going by faster than ever now! I only have 1.5 weeks left of work before I can really start preparing for M.J’s arrival.
Yesterday was an interesting day for baby and myself, I swear this kid grew over night! I have read that around the 33rd week or so the baby’s movements really [...]

Finally the day arrived for our first perinatal class. Last weekend we jumped in the car and headed to Squamish for our first real look into what is about to come. We have both been so busy that neither of us have had much time to mentally prepare for the birth, so it would seem [...]

I cannot believe I am already half way through my 33rd week! How did this happen so quickly? This winter has been incredibly busy and has flown by and very soon we will have a little addition to our family. Neither of us have even had a chance to truly sit back and grasp the [...]

Well it certainly took longer than desired but I am very excited to say that I can finally feel M.J. now! Looking back at it, I had been feeling movement here and there but I couldn’t determine whether it was the baby or simply gas!
My mother told me that the first time she felt me [...]

Christmas has always been my favourite time of year, all the great food, parties, desserts the giving and of course the receiving make for such an exciting time of year. However as I have gotten older, the holiday has slowly lost a bit of its magic. Probably because I do not live close to home, [...]

This year my Christmas wish is pretty easy… A healthy happy baby in May. That’s really the only thing that matters these days to my husband and I, but I suppose I also wouldn’t mind feeling M.J. move too! It is slightly frustrating and a bit frightening not feeling any movement this far into pregnancy.

Over the last couple of days I have been experiencing pain about two inches above my belly button. I have felt it before but only briefly and now it seems to be constant. My guess is that it is my stomach mussels stretching but I’m not entirely sure, so I did some “Googling” last [...]

I finally had the chance to hang out with a close girl friend yesterday, the first time since she had her first child in May! I’ve been dying to pick her brain about her pregnancy, her labor and of course everything in between and after. Everyone has a unique pregnancy and labor, one is never [...]
