Daddy to be

I am so excited to see M as a dad. I think he is going to be such a good dad. He has no experience with children let alone new born babies but I just know he is going to be such a good dad to our little one. It makes me so excited to start a family with him. I know that no matter what we can do this, together we will do this.

New firsts

Friday was my first time at the hospital for this baby. Not the best first to be having but I am happy to say all ended well. I started having some fairly intense pains in my abdomen in the morning and but lunch time the pain was still in my abdomen and had spread to my back and then I started to puke so I called the health link and she told me to go to the hospital.

My parents came and took me to the hospital. After a 3 hour wait the doctor came in to say she was pretty sure it was round ligament pain and that we could go home. So while I am very relieved that it is nothing serious it really sucks that it's something I am just going to have to live with until the baby is bigger and my uterus is no longer hanging.

20 weeks and my birthday

This past week we celebrated reaching the half way mark in this pregnancy and my 27th birthday. I am so happy to be half way done this pregnancy and that much closer to meeting our baby.

So far I am having a hard time connecting to this baby and when we found out that they could not tell us the sex of the baby I had a really hard time. I also found out that the placenta is anterior so it will be harder for me to feel this baby. I am desperate to find some kind of connection to this baby. When I say that it makes me feel like a horrible mom already but it's truly how I feel. So we decided to pay for another ultrasound since my doctor said she will not be giving me anymore. December 26th is hopefully the day we will find out what this baby is and I will have something to bring me closer...

Total weight gain/loss: down 10 pounds. I talked to the doctor but she said she is not concerned that I am still loosing weight
Maternity clothes? pants for now but my other clothes feel like they are getting tighter
Stretch marks? No new ones that I can tell
Sleep: I am having a hard time getting comfortable as I normally sleep on my tummy and that is not so comfortable anymore
Best moment this week: Hearing the babies heartbeat again. Even though you know things are good it is still reassuring

Food cravings: Chocolate and ice cream
