Tomorrow is end of year field trips for both kids. They're pretty excited. Ethan isn't sure what his is all about but I'm sure they'll have fun. Alexa's is at Medieval times. She's been looking forward to it all year (standard 4th grade trip to wrap up their Medieval studies)
Thursday I have a breastfeeding class for my Doula training and my mom is coming to help get ready for our BBQ on Saturday. Lots of people coming. Lots of shopping and cleaning to do. I really hope it's going to be a nice day.
Did I mention I broke my van?? It was really dumb...OK I was really dumb. Backing up in to a spot and didn't look where the front of my van was and crunched in the drivers side corner on a pole. A yellow pole. Good thing is two days later it had popped out all on it's own and Jamie was able to buff off the yellow paint. Phew!

IT'S A BOOYYYYYYYY!!!
My fabulous IP's are thrilled!!!
u.s results are back. All parts are accounted for and growing well.
Lots of movement on the u.s. screen.
Baby's movements are getting much stronger. Alexa was even able to see a couple of kicks the other day. I'm sure when mom and dad come back they'll be able to see and feel some movement.
We're 22 weeks now. Only 18 to go. I think I'm much smaller this time then with my two. Pretty understandable really. Mom is tiny. Curious to see how big I'll get.
We've talked a little about delivery day. I have a birth plan template that we should go over together. Most of the questions are about labour which I can answer but there are some that deal with after the baby is born. Maybe we'll do that on their next visit.
In the mean time, I need a hobby. Dad says I can make money on eBay drawing stick people. I'm not so sure but it's worth a shot. It could be the only way of funding a pool.

20 Weeks!!!
Wow, wow, wow!!! What a great day!!
My fabulous IP's got here yesterday after a looong drive. It was so great to see them again.
My mom came to watch Alexa and Ethan while Me, Jamie and my FIP's went out for dinner to The Wildfire.
The men had beef. Jamie's prime rib was huge. He weighed his left overs this morning and it was 18oz. I think they gave him what was left because it was getting late. The women had pasta. It was yummy!!
Mom and Dad came back this morning to pick me up for the big ultra sound (Just a small complaint about their instruction. A bladder can hold 15 to 20oz. My instructions said to drink 40oz and be done 1hour before my appointment. Why doesn't someone tell these people that this makes no sense! I had about 20oz and finished about 30 min before the appointment. No bladder issues.)
The appointment went great! the tech got all the measurements she needed then went to get mom and dad. What an amazing moment, seeing them see their baby for the first time. It was quite emotional. Baby did lots of moving around for mom and dad. Gave a couple of waves. We saw his/her hands, feet, spine, little beating heart (151) arms, legs. The tech was great, she took lots of pictures took her time showing mom and dad. No idea how long we were in there it felt like a long time. I was really happy she took the time for them.
I really think it's all very real for them now. We'll be seeing them again mid July. I'll be 6.5m then. They should be able to see lots of movement then.
I forgot to ask them for a picture so I could scan it. I'll have to email them and ask them if they can bring a couple back when they come so I can scan it and post it here.
No word on gender yet. Hoping to find out on Monday or Tuesday when I call the Dr's office.

19w 3 days
The big ultra sound is only 5 days away.
I can not wait!! I'm so excited!!!
Mom and Dad are coming on Wednesday, We're going out for dinner and the ultra sound is Thursday morning.
I can't wait for them to see their baby for the first time.
Alexa and Ethan are excited to be able to feel the baby kicking. I don't think it will be long now.
I'm starting to feel kicks and not just ripply movements.
Lots going on this week. Soccer for Alexa, Tae Kwon Do for Alexa and Ethan, Mom's night out, School fun fair, Dinner with my Awesome IP's. Ultra sound and packing for our trip to Darien Lake.
Makes me tired just looking at it. Good thing I've got nap time scheduled too.

aaaahhhh. It's nice and quiet tonight. Kids are both exhausted after a fun weekend playing and swimming in London, Ontario. Didn't have to ask them twice to go to bed.
Crazy busy week this week but it's going to end off great!
Monday...could be my only quiet day... Alexa has a soccer game.
Tuesday, Dr appt, final two pieces of trim are finally being installed, kids to Taekwondo, then off to Newmarket.
Wednesday, Alexa to Sick Kids for a check up on her feet, home, Alexa soccer practice, Parent council meeting
Thursday, shopping, kids to Taekwondo, finish packing for camping
Friday, Finally the long weekend and our first camping trip with the trailer. Praying for sun!
My Doctor appointment on Tuesday is just a regular check up. Weight check (blah) listen to the heart beat... I think he'll measure for fundal height (to see how high my uterus is) oh and pee in a cup. Seriously those things were invented by men. If a woman had invented them they would have handles.

what a crazy weekend!
My Fabulous IP's told me to write about other stuff going on in life. Not just baby stuff.
So a little about this past weekend.
It was Alexa's opening day tournament Saturday. The weather was horrible!!! we had everything but snow. Game one was called off because the rain and wind was so bad. We even had a bit of hail. We had enough time to go home throw all our clothes and coats in the dryer, get dressed and over to the school where the club had pizza for all the girls. Game two to follow. The rain stopped in time to play that game but it was freezing cold! our team won 3-1. they played great!
Sunday was Ethan's Firs Communion. He looked so handsome in his dress pants, tie and white shirt. The class did an awesome job. They all listened so well during mass. I even saw Ethan singing along. We had family over after for lunch and gifts. He was so tired by the end of the day. A little boy can only behave for so long.
Sunday was also mine and Jamie's 12 year anniversary. WOW 12 years! it's crazy how fast time goes sometimes.
Feeling more movements the last couple of days too. No kicking yet but lots of flutters. I wish there was a way to show mom and dad what it's like. I love the kicking and the hic ups. I even love the big rolls they do some times, But how do you explain it to someone???
I can't wait to see mom and dad again. 20 week ultrasound is in just over three weeks. I really hope they make it for that.

14 Weeks...and 1 day
I had my first O.B appt. today. It was pretty quick. You never know with O.B's if they're going to be on time or not.
Dr Shetti was my O.B when I had Ethan...almost 8 years ago.
He's a great Dr. I was happy that i was able to get to see him again.
The appt. went well. He checked my blood pressure and heart rate, lungs and then he listened for the baby's heart beat. He found it with out any problems at all. It was right there! good and strong.
My next appt is in 4 weeks and my 20 week u.s is booked for June 3rd!
