Baby?!

Baby? Baby! ... OMG BABY!!!

It’s weird to think that in just a few months I will be the Mother of a darling little boy. I am so scared yet I’m ecstatic at the same time.” I’m having a baby, OMG, I’m having a baby!” were my first thoughts, it took a while to settle in & now it’s a matter of the waiting game! My precious baby Jackson G. Is on his way baking for a total of 23 weeks today! From the first time I saw his little heart beating I knew I was in love.

The joys

My pregnancy is the most amazing, exhilarating thing I have ever experienced & even though at times it is a little hard to handle between nausea, growing pains & breakdowns it is more & more worth it every time I look down & see my belly, to watch as it grows cause I know he is growing. As if that were not enough every time he moves around or throws me a kick or punch I think about how strong he is getting,  and every time I look at his dad. Jackson’s father has been a tremendous help with this pregnancy & I don’t often give him enough credit for it.

The Big Question

Boy or Girl? Gosh I was so excited to find out; it was constantly on my mind. I wanted a boy, at first I wasn’t even entirely sure why just knew boy was my preference. I wouldn’t have been upset had it turned out it was a girl, honestly! I would have been happy with either gender. The longer we waited to find out the more I thought about having a little girl if I want to be completely honest. Our appointment was set Tuesday July 5^th at 17 Weeks & 4 Days *Fingers crossed* ... *Sigh* we had a shy baby who refused to show us the goods.

Appointment #2 Thursday July 14^th at 18 Weeks & 6 Days... IT’S A BOY! I was getting my little boy.

Birth-Plan to Birthday

Well I finished my birth plan pretty much as soon as I found out I was having a baby,  it’s my simple & easy way to let my doctor’s know how I would like things to happen when I go into labour. Almost everything on it I am 100% for sure on except for one thing, the Epidural! I am seriously scared of it... The needle is MASSIVE & it goes into your SPINE! For someone who dislikes having my blood taken, I’m not very fond of this form of anaesthetic. We will see how things go but as it stands I am leaning toward the “Not comfortable” option. I am so ridiculously organized with everything I swear I have a list/chart for everything! My favourite by far is the chart that tracks his weekly growth in utero, followed by a very close second: Milestone check list for things like movement.
