10 weeks

 117 lbs
Hips: 35.5 inch
waist: 33 inch
arms: 10 inch
thighs: 21 inch


So Im currently ten weeks pregnant. Thats cool. My nausia has been mild. but headaches and dizzyness arent uncommon. I swear to god, i can feel this child move inside of me, even tho hes tiny (im still guessing at the he part lol) I ogt to hear babies heart beat via doppler at my nine weeks appointment, and doc said my uturus felt big but good. Im confident that everything is going to go well. Im planning on going drug free.

Im so excited as my 17 year old cousin has agreed to take my labour and birth photos. there are two reasonings behind this, A) i dont want a stranger that involved in my vagina and birth of my child, and B) i think it will help convince my cousin to wait a very long time to have babies....like i said, pain med free :D

We still cant agree on Names, although lately Im really into Dominick for a boy and Edith for a girl. He totally hates both. Dominick reminds him of Dominic Torretto from the fast and the furious movie series, and Edith is his ex gfs middle name. But he likes Ezio for a boy...you know, the main character from assassins creed lol...go figure.

We had this problem naming our daughter too, so im not overly concerned about it. The baby will get a name im sure lol

So lets see, my breasts have gone from a D to a DD, which im unimpressed about...makes my back hurt. But they dont hurt as much as they did when i was pregnant with my daughter, they also ARENT like two rocks on my chest like last time either....that hurt a lot.

 In all reality, either this pregnancy is being very good to me(knocks on wood), or my other ones were all hell. Im not sure which, but either way, im not complaining.

6 Weeks

Weight: 114 lbs
Hips: 35 inch
Waist: 31 inch
Breasts: 34 inch

So things have been picking up a little with the morning sickness. This morning specifically was rough. I had strawberries for breakfast. Bad idea. They were def. Not the best things coming back up. Thank god for ensures. When nothing else stays down, they always seem to do the trick lol.


I dont FEEL as bloated these days, but as you can see, I still am. For the record, the embryo is only about the size of a blueberry. Although some of it is my uturus, most of it is swelling and bloating. My uturus is measuring for eight weeks now, but i still have my ultrasound coming up.


 I heard back from all of the midwives in the area, ive been wait listed by ALL of them, as i was too far along when i applied and they were booked for my due month. So, FYI, if you want a midwife in canada...get to the yellowpages as soon as you see two pink lines. I was five weeks, and they were booked.

But on the bright side, I got a call yesterday from the OBGYNs office who delivered My Ali. Which means, ill be able to deliver in the birthing center, with the same doc who helped save my daughter by my side. I'm good with this. We have a good relationship lol When i was in labor with my daughter, he was about to c section me due to wonky heart beats and other stuff (both of us) and i grabbed his wrist wand threatened to slit his throat if he came any closer with the scalpel. He laughed at me, then delivered my daughter vaginally. I trust him.

This time, I'm hoping to have a much more calm and relaxed birth. I'm doing it in a birthing center, not an operating room. Ill have access to birthing balls, shower, a whirlpool. FOOD :) and i wont have to spend 20 hours on my back strapped to a machine. Don't get me wrong, i love my daughter, but my labor and delivery was not a pretty story. as soon as she was in my arms, the birthing experience didn't really matter anymore though.

This pregnancy is definitely dragging on and on and on lol. I keep trying to not think about it, focus on My Ali, and go from there.
