Obsessive with dates, March 2nd creeps closer and closer and I get more excited as each day passes. The first milestone was the end of work weeks and the start of Mat leave. Tomorrow is my last day in the VC office and hopefully in 11 months or so I can work from home. I am happy that I am an org…

From Mommy to Mason
Monday, January 12th, 2009
Dearest Little Boy,
I am laying here feeling you kick your little feet inside my tummy which prompted me to write you. I always knew I wanted to be a Mom, ever since I was a little girl who couldn't wait to take her first baby sitting course. I baby sat up until I was …
Tick tock...
Now that we are in 2009 it seems my obsession with counting down has taken a new extreme...I've decided that Mason will be born on February 30th, not March 2nd. (Keeping in mind that I do realize that only 1% of babies are actually born on their due date). So I've created a new calendar in my worl…
In the right year!
A bit of a delay due to holidays and starting a post, saving it as a draft and deleting it. So here I am, first blog of 2009! Last post was pre Christmas, so I will start there. I only took one day off [December 23] in order to reserve a ferry to the Island (BC Ferries dropped their rates and res…
It's beginning to look a lot like...
A very pregnant woman. Okay maybe that's not what you thought I'd say and yes Christmas isn't very far off but I never failed to be amused at the amount of people who ask me, "Are you pregnant? When are you due? How are you feeling? (I hate this question! I feel HUGE, I feel tired.).
I don't th…
A view from inside
When presented with the option to view better technology, I was hesitant. There were the grainy images, the cost and the first real view of my child being compared to an alienlike creature were the first things that came to mind. Upon further research, I changed my mind. I figured it would be great…
Cravings? What cravings? I'm just really hungry!
So back from vacation and.....back to reality. The rain, full work weeks and one growing tummy. I still have my 'wow, I' pregnant' moments where I think the past 5 months have been a dream. And then I get a boot to the left side of my ballooning stomach that snaps me back into mommy2be land and I…
Back from the Babymoon
Definition of "Babymoon"... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babymoon
I thought this was a silly term until I heard it especially since it is somewhat related to "honeymoon" which is taken after the wedding. In our case, no matter how you look at it, it was a vacation!
So since my last post...
Baby's aren't free!
So with our impending arrival comes a lot of shopping and with that comes a lot of baby accessories! I made a list of the must haves which I haven't looked at since. The key items are going to be our first purchases and I've done a lot of online 'window shopping' but the choices are endless and th…
Our little man
So if you aren't on my Facebook list of friends, you may be out of the loop! It was announced last week that little bumpy who has taken residence in my womb is probably a little boy. So here's the story...
The appointment was on October 23rd at 3pm, I normally book 9am appts so I don't have t…
All is well now
Clayton and I had quite the scare this morning. I woke up late after a fairly restful sleep and normally the first thing I do is give my belly a 'good morning' rub but this morning my belly did not feel the same as it always did. My bump felt smaller and normally where it started at the top was su…
Kick me!
This week started off great!
Monday was the last prenatal appt which is always highly anticipated as we get to hear the heartbeat. Unfortunately my regular Dr was on holidays so we had a sub and although she was very nice, she didn't let us listen to the heartbeat all that long. It was like 'okay…
Island baby
YAY! Finally at week one of the 5th month, which puts me at week 18. I love milestones! So I got through another week and the weekend zipped by! Saturday we accidentally slept in but were not late for our ferry which we were catching to Victoria. It has been a while since I was there and a coupl…
My little bouncin' baby
I was tempted to write 'boy' but the gender hasn't been confirmed so I'm not going to get ahead of myself. The last prenatal appt went well as usual. The ever growing belly was measured (lookin' good!) and we heard the heartbeat. (sigh) always puts tears in my eyes. The Dr. found the heartbeat m…
Apparently I have a long way to go....
So I'm in my 14th week which seems like such a small number compared to 4.5 months! I was at White Spot last night with Clayton having a late dinner and upon being greeted by the Hostess she asks "How far along are you?" (I'm obviously showing nowadays) so I tell her and she replies "Oh, you have a…
14 Weeks
Ugh. What a long week. I'll start at Friday, which happened to be our 4th month prenatal appt. The visit went really well and all my tests came back with normal results. I got on the old scale (which is usually a horror for most women and wasn't surprised to see that I had lost 5lbs since findin…
13 weeks
Looks like my subject lines are countdowns! Truth be told, I'm not in the mood to come up with some catchy subject line. I just finished work and had a quickbite to eat. Not feeling great at the moment, I think I stared at the computer screen too long day.
Although I haven't posted any new bell…
12th Week
I always love Sundays cause I get to read a new paragraph in my "What to expect when expecting" Pregnancy book (even though I read ahead hehe). I take that time to read aloud to Clayton about what Bumpy has developed and how big he's gotten (the size of a plum now!) Hard to believe! Unfortunately…
11 weeks and counting!
Well baby class was what I mostly assumed it would be. It took place at one of the buildings near BC Women's hospital where I'm going to be giving birth in March. Clayton and I arrived to find a 'classroom' full of baby stuff (minature fetus', diagrams etc) and chairs in a circle. There were 3 ot…
Baby School!
So tomorrow is Clayton and my first prenatal education class at BC Women's hospital. I almost thought it was too early for the classes but then I read the topics:
