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.
