And, I commit to blogging more often. No promises but I will try. I am sure over the next few months there will be more to report on.
We're 22 weeks along. More than half way. And to be honest, the reality that it's 2009 slightly stresses me out. Everyone has told me how long their pregnancy felt and how much they just wanted it to speed up. Me ... I'm perfectly happy to putter along. Ask me again at 8.5 months and I'm sure to feel different.
Aside ... David just brought his dog inside and carried her to her bed in the bedroom. She is spared the embarassment of wearing her boots at bedtime. This is relevant I promise. I told him how pathetic that was and to just let her walk .. he claims she will scratch the floor even by walking on it. This aside will become vitally important when he is in the psych ward following May 2009 because the baby puked on the floor or I dropped the phone and soother too many times trying to multi-task. Oh dear, I can see it now. I will need your support!
Yeah, so 22 weeks. I am feeling great. Pregnancy has been absolutely wonderful to me. I have no complaints. My doctor visits are filled with positive notes and discussion. Speaking of my doc ... he asked me to fill out a birth plan so I found one on the internet. I am reading many books regarding natural childbirth etc but regardless, I am still amazed of the options I have. I suppose just like many people, although I resent the way hospitals do things, I just assume that there's no other way. I'm pretty confident that I will do things my own way and knowing that my doc is fully supportive of whatever I want and will stand up to the nurses (who we ranted about last visit!) is a wonderful bonus.
We weren't told the baby's gender after our last ultrasound in Nanaimo. According to their rules, the baby needs to measure 20 weeks before they will tell you and our baby only measure 18weeks 6days. So, after chatting with my doc, we decided to book a 3D ultrasound for March 7. Seems a long time to wait but for those who are panicking that it may be a boy, the two months to prepare should be long enough. I'm already pretty convinced it's a boy and will be pleasantly surprised if it's a girl.

We will add some art etc when we know the gender. Add some colour to fill the walls. Maybe some word art.
