So I’ve been writing in a booklet (kind of like a journal) for the past 3 months about how things are going and how I’ve been feeling and what not. Then as I was writing today I realized that I could just put it here on my blog! DUH!!! And because I’m board at work I figured that I could type a few of them up so that whoever wants to can see how I was feeling at that current time. So here goes... *****Started writingMay 26, 2009
Had a doctors appointment, we talked about a bunch of stuff. She will refer me to a different doctor for delivery. She doesn't do that. I asked that I be sent to Peter Lougheed (?), as it’s easier to get to.
Booked an ultra sound (two words?) for June 10 to see exactly how far along I am. Booked a physical for July 2.
June 1, 2009
I'm not sure if its because I haven’t been sleeping well, or if its because of the baby but I’ve just been really tired. It doesn't help that it’s hot in the house.
June 5, 2009
I felt sick in the morning all week, I didn't ever actually throw up, and I sure felt like I could have. No food cravings, just hungry all the time. I get really hungry in the mornings, I never use too. Fruit will usually fix it.
June 9, 2009
Tomorrow is the ultra sound, I’m so excited. My doctor thinks I am 12 weeks along, I don’t think so. I just want to see it. And know that it really is there. I think I’m only like 6-8 weeks. So we'll see.
June 15, 2009
We had the ultra sound last Wednesday, very exciting. I defiantly wasn't as far along as my doctor thought. I’m only 7 weeks. As of today I will be 8 weeks. By the time we go to Kyle’s cousins wedding I will be at 12. So that'll be good. And I’ll go in for my 18-week ultra sound because we go to BC. So we can tell Kyle's aunt Heather, she wants to know the sex of the baby so she can buy us stuff. Nothing else to report, feeling okay, just tired. I think my due date is January 25th.
June 26, 2009 (week 9)
I have no idea what my due date is. Now I think its December 28. I’ll ask the doctor when we go. If I remember, I’ve been forgetting a lot lately. I’m having problems keeping my suppers down. I’m thrown up a few times, and every other time I’ve been really sick and wanting too. Oh well, I don’t mind because it’s leading up to something awesome.
July 15, 2009 (week 12)
I forgot to ask the doctor when my due date would be. Oh well. I am now past my 3 months, YAY! I haven’t gotten sick again for a while, so that’s good. I don’t really feel different, I think I will once I start to be able to feel it move.
*****Today
July 27, 2009
So..... My real due date is January 26, 2010. I was really close with my first prediction. So now instead of my thinking I was going to have a Christmas baby it will be a my birthday present. Depending on when it wants to show up.
We heard the heart beat on July 23! At my doctors appointment. it was awesome, like a horse running (trotting). 150bpm I think she said. I cried, no really I did, and I know I never cry, right? Haha, wrong, I’m a crybaby.
I booked my 18-week ultra sound for August 28th at 11:45am! I really hope it’s in the right position that we can see what the sex will be. I NEED TO KNOW!!!!! Well I don’t need to, I just really really want to. And I think a lot of other people want to know as well. I would like it to be a girl. But I’m not going to be sad if it’s a boy. As long as it’s healthy then I don’t care. I have another doctor’s appointment August 17th, I’ll be able to hear the heart beat again!!!! I'm going to record it this time and send it to my mom! She will love that.
So those are my 'journal' entries. I’ll post them on here whenever I do them.
We are going to my mom's house this weekend (long weekend). And we will go to waterton for a hike and camp there one night. It’ll be nice. I know that we will go for a hike on Saturday, I’m not sure what we will do Saturday night, maybe play cards. Who knows, I think it will be fun. It’ll be nice to get away. And its brooks' birthday this weekend, so that’s another reason that we are going.
Not much else to write about. We are slowly cleaning out all the rooms in our house to make room for baby. I had no clue how much junk we had till we started cleaning it. Anyways, bye byee for now.

I'm such a liar...........
So on my last post I said 'no baby yet' when actually at that time I was 3 weeks pregnant! I know, it’s amazing. I had no clue till I was 8 weeks. The symptoms that I was having were also side effects from the medication that I was taking, but once I stopped taking the meds and the 'side effects' were still happening I decided to take a home test. And to my shock the little purple line showed up right away. I couldn't believe it, and neither could Kyle. Luckily I had a req. form to get a pregnancy test though blood work, so we grabbed that and went to the lab place that’s about a 3 min drive from our house. So about 2 hours after I got home I called the fertility clinic (because they would get the results, and they usually get them right away) and talked to one of the ladies there. She went and checked and said that they got them and that they were positive!!! YAY!!! She told me to book an appointment with my family doctor and then we would go from there. So because we found all this out on a Saturday I couldn't call my doctor and book an appointment. So instead I called my mom... this is how that went... (A being me, and S being my mom"
A - "hi mom"
S - "hi Amanda, how are you?"
A - "I’m good, guess what"
S - "what?"
A - "guess"
S - "your pregnant"
A - "YUP!"(Me starting to cry)
S - "oh my gosh" (she totally wasn't expecting that)
A - "I know"
S - "are you crying?"
A - "yeah" (sobbing)
S - "happy crying?" (As she starts to cry)
A - "yeah" (sob)
S - "okay"
A - "you can tell Brooks"
S - "okay"
A - "but not a whole bunch of other people"
S - "okay"
A - "I’m going to e-mail every one"
S - "okay"
A - "talk to you later"
S - "love you"
A - "love you too mom"
That’s how that went. On Sunday I decided that she could tell whomever she wanted. I guess she tried to call everyone but no one would answer, so she e-mailed all her family. She was very happy.
As something fun I wanted to tell Kyle’s parents (and my dad and sister) in a different way. So we went to wal-mart and bought 4 coffee mugs and some special markers that can write on ceramic (?). And wrote "#1 Grandpa" on 2 and "#1 Grandma" on the other, and "#1 Aunt" on the 4th. We went to Kyle’s parents house first, gave it to them and Mike (Kyle's dad) burst into tears, he cried for probley 45 min's like a little girl, and Cheri (Kyle's mom) cried too, just not as much as Mike. So we were there for a bit, Mike called his Mom and talked to her for a little about it. He was very happy. So after we left there I called my dad to see if he was home. He said that he was working in the back on his truck; I said that we might stop by because I needed to drop something off. Then we made our way over. When we got there he was under his truck. We then waited for him to get out and I gave him the mug, told him to look at the other side and then his eyes went huge "REALLY???" and I said yeah, he got all teary eyed and gave me a big hug. He was so happy that he too called his family members right away, at least the ones that would answer. He talked to my aunt for a while, and then I talked to her. It was nice to see him so happy. Now it’s all he talks about. Which I’m okay with because it’s all I talk about too.
So now that I am at 12 weeks (3 months) I’m letting the whole world know. I figure that I am either due December 28th or January 18th. I have no clue. Because if you think about it, December 28th is 36 weeks. Which is 9 months, but because some months have more then 4 weeks in it it’s confusing... I’ll be 40 weeks on January 18th, so I think that would be my due date. But I don’t know. I’ll have to ask my doctor when I go in 2 weeks. I have a little list that I keep writing questions down on, and that has now been added. I didn't think to ask when I was there last week. So anyways. My doctor doesn't do the whole delivery thing, she said that the only baby that will be waking her up at 3am will he her own. She will send me to someone at the peter lougheed hospital, its about 15 min’s away from my house and really easy to get to. But until I go see that person I will go and see my normal doctor every 4 weeks.
So that’s my super exciting news that I wanted to share with everyone. We are SUPER EXCITED about it. So anyways. I better be getting back to work.
