Productive!
We spent most of the day outside yesterday. Cleaning out the back garden, weeding the front and planting a few things. Gardening is hard when you are 8 months pregnant! Yeesh! It was such a gorgeous day, especially for May in Saskatchewan. I swear it felt like July.
Today I woke up tired as usual but opted not to keep sleeping and made myself breakfast instead. I have said it before and...

While reading through baby name forums
All I can think: “Shit, ladies you are not naming WOW characters you are naming your children”
WHY ARE PEOPLE SO STUPID?

Labour Options
Yesterday I watched “The Business of Being Born” while chilling out at home. While a lot of the issues brought up in the film don’t apply to me since I’m Canadian, it certainly gave me a lot to think about. What stood out for me: Western women seem to have little confidence in their body’s ability to give birth naturally and man does this apply to me! I am terrified...

My Turn!
How far along? 30w5d
Total weight gain: None so far, lost some in the first trimester and gained a bit back but haven’t gone past my pre-pregnancy weight
Maternity clothes? Mostly maternity but I can fit into some regular dresses and tops from before
Stretch marks? Some new ones have appeared in the top of my tummy that are red-purplish and i have faded ones from weight gain over the...

29 week ultrasound
Everything is looking good! We got to see him suck his thumb and yawn and just be cute in general. I don’t have any pics scanned yet but I will get to that soon.
The tech said he is 3lbs 6oz right now and measuring at 31 weeks! She said she wasn’t going to change my due date because I was dated at my last ultrasound and it’s up to my doctor to decide whether or not to change it....

Patiently Waiting
Our next ultrasound is tomorrow morning! Yay! I just have to get through a day of work without my hips/back/sides/feet dying on me and we are goood to go.
I still can’t decide what to do about maternity leave. Hairdressing is a very physically demanding job but I only work two days a week so can I really justify taking off so soon? Also I think I’d be super bored!
Hopefully I will...

Re: Raspberry Leaf Tea
mommymohawk said: Oh really??? I bought some… haven’t tried it yet though. I was told not to start having it till the last month of pregnancy and beyond. So is it not fruity tasting at all then?? Dang…
No it kind of tastes like bitter twigs. I even tried it with honey. I read it’s good for the whole third trimester, to help strengthen the uterus. Apparently the notion that it can bring on...

Raspberry Leaf Tea is Gross
Just sayin’
No way I’m drinking this crap for the next 11 weeks.
Long day
I’m helping out a friend today and watching her daughter who is two, incredibly cute and well behaved. So far, so good, But i just wish my stomach would cooperate. Everything I eat seems to bother me. It makes me wonder if it has something to do with baby shifting positions last night. He was kicking so hard it felt like my whole belly was moving, and I’m pretty sure that he’s...
My good friend’s daughter is in the hospital again. She’s such a strong little girl and has been through so much already.
Get well soon little E-Bean <3<3

Becoming a first time mom is terrifying, no matter what age you are! Just remember, it’s your actions that define you as a woman and as a mother, not other people’s opinions or labels. <3 <3
^This woman is amazing! She answers lots of my mommy questions and treats me as an equal: as another pregnant person, not as a young girl asking an experienced...

Can you tell I'm bored?
Ryan’s off playing Twilight Imperium with the nerd squad so I’m on tumblr filling out silly surveys and checking out other pregnancy blogs. YAY
1. What’s the fathers name? Ryan 2. What is your name and how old are you? Liz, 29 3. How old is the father? 28 turning 29 right around my due date! 4. Are you married, engaged, just boyfriend and girlfriend, or not together? Married 5. How...
rayisthefemalebuddhabelly:
hey-liz answered your question: I’m seriously tired of people telling me i’m HUGE.
Only my district manager seems to point out how big I am, and I’m thinking Bitch, I was fat before I got pregs, what do you expect? Annoying!
Hahaha! That’s seriously irritating. Especially from someone you work for/with. Doesn’t she know that it’s kind of inappropriate to comment on...

Catching up
Day 3: Do you know the day you conceived? No idea! We had stopped keeping track because of a disappointment the month before. Some time in October.
Day 4: How did you find out you were expecting? It was a few days before my period was due and I just had this weird feeling. I promised Ryan I would wait until after I missed it to take a test but I couldn’t stop thinking about it. It was about...

Anticipation
It’s really hard to put into words how I feel about becoming a mother for the first time. How do you describe a million feelings bombarding you at once? I mean really, just thinking about it makes me panic a little. That’s normal right? I’ve known for quite some time that being a mom was what I was meant to do. Even despite all the lofty career and academic aspirations I had in...

Stroller Obsession
Ok, so it may seem silly but I am seriously obsessed with researching and trying out strollers. It’s been an all consuming hobby for the past few weeks and my husband thinks I’ve seriously gone insane. But there are soooo many options to consider! so many reviews to look over! so many Youtube videos to watch!
One of my favorite sites/youtube channels for stroller info is BabyGizmo....
