nope, i just went to PR from gibsons for work b/c i was desperate and knew someone at alcohol and drug so i went.... i think i have worked in far too many communities in bc but i grew up in the lower mainland but i think of the island as home b/c my whole family is here now. my partner's family is from vernon now. his mom was from PR but during WW2 they were interned somewhere near vernon after losing their fishing boat and home and everything else!!

ok, i gotta get off the computer and get a life!! my dh took boo to the park so i am hogging it to my hearts content!

[zebrabelly]

Mind if I join you? We just found out on Sunday and I'm four weeks and a day I guess. We're planning another homebirth for this one.

Anyway, thanks for letting me join.

Kinda makes you wonder about the water here in BC, LOL

Hey, Jenn, I got an appt at Heritage Midwifery. I'm excited! There are some issues from my past pregnancy/ after birth that still need to be discussed but I'm glad I've at least gotten this far.

Anne

Cool!

I want a midwife!!! I havent even gone in to see a doctor yet. It is too depressing here!

[Len]

Can I join you?

I knew I was pregnant from the moment it "happened" but now two positive tests and a lack of AF back my suspicion..... so here I am, and according to my estimate my date will be may 9...

And guess what? I'm in BC too we lived in Vancouver for 8 years but we just moved to West Van, in the horshoe bay area.

: Jenn!! it's too funny to find you here! Who would have thought (we just met IRL a couple of weeks ago)

Anyway, I'll be posting around here from now on I guess!

[hollyhobbie]

holy, holy, holy as my niece used to say. there are sure a bunch of BC mama's here.

congrats zebrabelly and len!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! more mommies the better.

sorry nym, it is depressing to think of having no midwife. i feel like my midwife is part of the family.

i got 3 packages of diapers in the mail today! yipee. two were small stuff and one bigger ones for cassia. it was so nice b/c i was having a crappy day b/c loo is havin a problem with constipation. she just cries and cant poop. from what i have read it is fairly common but disturbing none the less. i have a suspicion it is the milk we've been giving her so i went out and bought goats milk to try for a week.

hope everyone is feeling good. i feel exhausted today!

So I went to see the doctor today, and got some blood taken. I have to have a u/s on friday to check dates and such. I went and got some prenatal vitamins, but when I got home and looked at the bottle they are full of icky fillers, so I am going to take them back.

I am not looking forward to having to find a newborn diaper stash now. I hate the stress of it all

[hollyhobbie]

yikes, i guess i will have to do the bloodwork thing next time i go to the midwife. no u/s though. last time i didnt plan on having one at all then i needed one b/c of bleeding at 15 weeks. wasnt fun even though i guess it is supposed to be in a way. that sounds dumb. what i mean is some parents are looking forward to seeing the baby on the screen.

nym, do you knit?? i am going to re-learn at a rec centre course starting on sept 30. my mom is a real knitter and taught me a couple of times but i get stuck and frustrated so i thought a course once a week would be good. i want to be able to knit a soaker. i have my mom working on a couple for me right now. i have been buying the wool to try and control the outcome. putting together a nb stash right now is fun b/c last time i decided to use the diaper service to start and it was a disaster so i switched to huggies and that was that until about a month ago when i went cd mad

I just got a positive test result this evening! Mind if I join the due date club?

My husband said that he knew we were pregnant from conception. I guess his intuition was right. His intuition has also told him that it will be a girl. I am very curious to find out if this is true!

[hollyhobbie]

welcome clucky!!!! and congrats!!!! yayayyayaaayyy!

do you have any idea what day you would be due?? i got my positive test i guess about 2 weeks ago since i am 6 weeks!! today! i am glad to be 6 already since it seems to be going smoothly so far.

how are ya feeling? that is funny that dh knew. i said to a gf that i would be surprised if i wasnt pg this month. i just had a funny feeling that and i am way too fertile for someone my age! ha ha.

[CluckyInAZ]

thank you hollyhobbie!
I think I am 3 weeks pregnant. We don't remember the exact day that it happened... I am not really sure how to know the due date. I have a doctor's appointment next week, but I don't plan to have any u/s unless I have to for medical reasons.

Dh is so cute. He just said he wished he could mount the positive preg test to the wall for display :LOL we are settling for taking a picture.

I am feeling kind of tired and my nipples hurt like crazy if anything bumps into them. Besides that I think I am doing pretty well

[hollyhobbie]

if you want to know then you can enter your last menstrual period in here

and it will tell you all your dates. may be a bit off depending on your cycle length and when you O'd. but it is fun anyways!!

[CluckyInAZ]
