Hello, This is just a quick entry for today. I will do my usual entry tomorrow. I just want to congratulate Trevor! He is famous! Trevor made it into the Big Game Records of Ontario with the buck that he shot in November of 2003! We have been waiting since then for the book to be released and to see where he ranked! He is #348 out of 955 for shooting a deer with a rifle and #471 out of all 2010 entries! He scored 152 7/8.
We currently have this deer watching over us everyday in the living room over our TV!
Congratulations babe, I love you!
Wendy

18 weeks already and it is already April! Gosh how time flies when you are having fun!
Well, nothing too exciting this week just the usual pregnancy stuff. I have pretty bad heartburn, sore hips and back and a bunch of other wonderful side effects, including bloody gums…. Yuck! This morning I was brushing my teeth (with white tooth paste) and when I took my brush out of my mouth it was red! I know too much information but when they said my gums might bleed I was not expecting to lose enough blood to pass out! Also, I managed to round myself up a nice little urinary tract infection which if you have ever had one, you would know will drive you nuts on the best of days! So yes, this caused yet another trip over to the hospital. It is a good thing that the town where I will deliver is on 5 minutes away! I would never go to the hospital here for anything pregnancy related they are awful and make you feel bad for coming. Where as the hospital where I will deliver is amazing! They are so nice. At the hospital they took my blood pressure and it was 90 / 47! Yikes! But they said that is OK for a pregnant woman. This would definitely explain the light headedness I keep suffering from!
I am not sure if I felt my wee girl yet, or not. Yesterday while I was sitting at my desk, it felt like a bubble popped in my lower abdomen. It was very light, but nothing I have felt before, this of course could also have been lunch moving its way through me! Every night I lie in the tub and wiggle and talk to my tummy, but with no response. Maybe she is sleeping at that time!
Yesterday, I went to Tim Horton's and got myself a decaf coffee. I used to get one every morning (not decaf though!), but I have stopped since I got pregnant. I now usually get the hot chocolate, which is god knows how many calories, but I am pregnant now so I can indulge in such things! Well, I could not drink the coffee! What the heck is with that? It tasted awful, I did not make it through half and then I dumped it out to see if I won anything under the rim! My mom said that maybe the baby does not like coffee!
Trevor and I are starting to contemplate what to do the nursery in. We have decided not to buy the crib set as most of the pieces we are not going to use. We are not going to use the bumper pads or the comforter for safety reasons, so what is the point in spending $80 on the three piece set, when we would not use it! So we are going to buy the pieces we want separately, like the sheets, bed skirt etc. We were thinking either Winnie the Pooh or Bambi. But there are so many more Pooh options and I love Pooh bear! We were at the Disney store on the weekend and they had a huge sale on their stuffed animals! They had Pooh and all his buddies and Bambi and all his buddies! We thought we better not buy anything yet as there are more important items to buy for now!
We also went to Toys R Us on the weekend. That place is fabulous! They have tons of stuff! We saw this fabulous crib that we love! It is solid birch and is amazing! But of course it is $400! If we can save enough money we will get it! It is so hard though knowing that there will be a baby shower coming, but we need to start buying stuff. We can not wait until a month before the baby is born (which is usually when baby showers are) and then have to buy what we do not get. What if I go into labor a month early and have no crib or stroller and need to go on maternity leave a month early? Those were the two big items we were worried about. Everything else we can buy if we do not get them at the baby shower. This is why we went ahead and bought the stroller. We are going to wait as long as we can to buy the crib.
Oh yes, this week I lost a pound. It was not intentional! I have been eating tons and tons of food! That puts me at up 9 lbs. which is still really good. I even put my gym membership on hold for a while. I have been going for walk, well more like leisurely strolls! I may even keep my membership on hold until after the baby comes, now that the warm weather is here and I was told to take it easy.
Well, once again this is becoming a novel! Besides it is time for some Gaviscon! Heartburn …. Yikes! Why can I not eat fruit dam it!
Take care,
Wendy
