I went to my friends party lastnight.. Gotta love being pregnant, I'm the one that gets sick and I didn't even drink. Since then I feel terrible and I wish I could sleep all day, everyday.

Today I took a hot shower and felt quite dizzy afterwards. So I sat on the bathroom floor for a few minutes and made sure I was good to stand and move around. Thats happen a few times now so I know to be careful. I also ate a bowl of kraft dinner today and felt sick afterwards. I haven't been hungry recently though. I know I should eat so I do :).

Anyways, I feel good and have been. Still can't believe I'm 3 months. 6 more to go! I'm one third done, yay! Me and Daddy couldn't be more excited.

13 weeks, the last week!

This week the baby has finger prints aswell as the organs and veins are clearly visable through the skin. Babys body is also catching up with its head and the babys just over 3 inches long. I don't have my book with my today to give everyone all the details but thats still pretty exciting.

Today I took my little brother,who is just turning three soon, to the new splash pad and pool which has many different sprinklers and things for children. We also went to the park and played for an hour. I really enjoyed this and it made me realize how great of a mother I am going to be.

We also took some pictures.. one of which, you can really see that baby bump. I guess I never realized it too much until I seen the picture!


And heres me and the little man in the pool!



Love you baby!

Just an FYI, I did feel baby! I DID! Yesterday Steve says "I was talking to some people and they said you wouldn't be able to feel it at 12 weeks." I know I felt it. But I decided to do some research and what did I find? Women from ALL over the world feeling their babys from 10 weeks on. Now I haven't felt baby since, and from what I have read I might not for a few more weeks.. Dang :(. I just thought I would let everyone know, that I did infact feel my little angel. It wasn't gas!

Steve also showed me what he made for the baby. He went to build-a-bear and built a Panda wearing a cute little soccer outfit. Adorable. We are going to be awesome parents. We also decided to go baby shopping soon together. Mostly to pick out certain types of things and start stocking up.

Its crazy to think that I'm 13 weeks already. The last week of my first trimester. I'm so excited for the little baby, why can't you just come sooner?!

Thats it for today, I'm exhausted.

I bought baby a book today! The first of many. Its called "Oh, Baby, the Places You'll Go! A Book to Be Read in Utero" by Dr. Seuss. I thought it was a cute book because it introduces Dr. Suess, one of my favorites, and his many books. After looking at all the books I can't wait to get them all! Robert Munsch, Dr. Seuss, Baby Einstein! So many!

I also bought a little something for myself. A pregnancy journal with so much in it. It has fill in question/answers, quotes, advice, tips, a countdown day-by-day, and most of all a day-by-day of whats going to happen (you know how much I love that!).

Today I also noticed that I'm almost 13 weeks, the end of my first trimester. I'm excited. The reason? Miscarriages [most] take place in the first 3 months. I'm glad I won't have to worry about that. Cause I love my little baby :).

I'm also WAY excited about getting everything put together and set up. Can't I just do it now?!?! But I'm going to start organizing and getting things to organize all this stuff because I already have a lot! I just need more space!

Anyways, thats all for today.

P.S. I got some strech pants today too :D. Hello comfort, goodbye jeans!

Thursday, August 21, 2008

Pregnancy is a good excuse for sweat pants. And boy let me tell you I'm going to need lots soon! My jeans are snug and its getting to the point where pants are getting seemingly uncomfortable.

This just in: We've got movement in there, somewhere!

I was about to take a nap, when I felt this little feeling. At first I didn't think it could be little baby. Seeing as its still so small. But I remembered my Mom telling me its like a butterfly feeling, so I knew it had to be! 12 weeks, I'm surprised. I'm looking forward to this feeling more often :).

Thats it, just thought everyone should know!

I realize I haven't written in a week and I appologize! I've just been super busy with work and everything.

Todays exciting though. 12 weeks and the babys 2 1/2 inches. Thats a lot! It weighs about half a pound now. Most of the body is created it just has more developing to do and the digestive system is beginning to practice contracting which will help my baby eat :).

This is all just oo exciting. I love my little baby and I couldn't be happier. I was talking to a friend who pointed out that the love of my life will be here in a few short months. I just can't wait too see baby and for my life to change at that very moment I say Hello.

Picking out names has been difficult. We have two girl names Chloe and Alexis that we both like and no boy names we can decide on. Its complicated! But I know in the end we will choose a name we both love and we still have some time to decide.

I've been feeling good lately, a little feeling of dizziness when I'm out in the sun too long. But all is well :).

I just got back from my appointment. All I can say is WOW. Babys heart was beating at 130. I heard it within seconds, we could also hear the baby moving around. It was the most amazing thing. It really makes this seem more real and made me more excited than ever.

Today I'm at 11 weeks. During 11 weeks the baby is just over 2 inches long and weighs a third of an ounce. The babys body is straightening out and the torso lengthening. Hair folliclesm finernails, and toenail beds are all beginning to form. The nails are also creating individual fingers and toes. If its a girl its ovaries are developing. Oh so exciting!!

I'm also really happy to be video blogging, although I still enjoy writing more. Through video blogging I have met a few pregnant women going through the same thing as I. It makes me excited and motivated. I'm really happy to have lots of support through friends and family, and even those I have met online. Its great getting to know more about peoples experiences and sharing mine.

One minor note: I have noticed that if I forget to take my vitamin at night I feel sick the next day. I must remember to take it!!

I'm so tired but oh so excited for tomorrow's appointment. Theres really not too much to say, but I'm sure I'll have more of an update tomorrow. Oh! And the weekly progress on baby.. my favorite blog to write each week.

I love you baby :)
I feel sick today. Its probably from lack of sleep. 7 hours isnt enough.

Appointment tomorrow, yay!

Pictures are here! The moment you have been waiting for!!

My belly, okay I admit it.. I have a bump! I see you!




Babys things. Pooh bear; first stuffed animals mommy bought. My pregnancy book, for the baby.. I love it. An outfit, my favorite one.




Basically today I wasn't feeling well. For a little while anyways. This whole brushing my teeth, scratch that, brushing my tounge thing, makes me so ill! I hate it, but I can't stand not doing it either! And appointments on monday! SO EXCITED.

AND AND AND! Visit my video blog at www.youtube.com/kaityykid. Don't worry, I'm still blogging!

I'll leave you with this.
Me and Steve. Mommy and Daddy.

I didn't realize so many people were reading. I like that everyone is, its better you read this then having to update everyone seperatly. Not that I mind really, but blogging is so much easier.

I'm going to start posting pictures and perhaps some videos on youtube soon. I will still continue my blog because I absolutly love writing it. I also thought making the baby, or keeping the blogs for myself, in a book afterwards would be a good keepsake. I also want a reminder of this experience because its a huge part of my life. Its changed me so much and I've already learned a lot in the short time I have known about baby.

I'll update some more later. Me and baby are going to make grilled cheese and noodles!

P.S. Lastnight, I went to 711 and bought sunflower seeds (salted ones), ketchup chips, assorted candy, and a hotrod. I realized then, that was the baby picking out the crazy combinations. The hotrod was also BBQ which I thought smelt gross, but tasted surprisingly good. Pregnancy is a funny thing.

So true.

Here's some beautiful pictures I found online. I can't wait to have pictures like this, or to have a belly for that matter.






My favorite one. I can't wait.
I am going to be a great mother.

It's the 10th week now. Baby is about an inch and a half. It's getting so big and I can't wait to feel it kick. I realized this weekend that boy or girl, dosn't matter to me. Either way I won't be disapointed. I know that baby is already a gift and that I already love it way to much to be disapointed.

This week baby is moving its elbows, its knees and ankles are forming aswell. Babys bones and teeth are also starting to form. And baby is taking full advantage of its digestive system as is starts to produce digestive juices and the kidneys produce more urine... sounds yummy. AND! If baby is a boy, his testes start porducing testosterone.

Learning about what happends each week is so exciting and I love learning what happends with my baby as it grows. I wish I could see it all happen, but I guess I'll wait till the heart beat next monday.

Not much going on till then. I have to go get my blood work done this week, not exactly looking forward to that but it has to be done.
