I finally got brave enough to watch Fiona’s birth video, and I’m glad I did. It gave me a better idea of some of the timeline (like, for instance, I actually only pushed for about 5 minutes this time around!) and made me realize that I wasn’t as loud as I thought, except right at the [...]

Fiona Siobhan was born this morning at 10:39am after an intense labour! Contractions really started/picked up at 2am, they were less than 2 minutes apart and over a minute long by about 4 or 5 (and checking myself I guessed I was probably 6 or 7 cm dilated already), then they just petered out and around [...] I just realized it’s been over a month since I last posted. There are so many ideas and posts floating around in my head and half finished as drafts, it surprises me a bit I haven’t published any of them. We have been busy though. My mom came out for a last minute visit and we [...] Meredith and I were lying in bed together this morning and the baby was rolling and kicking quite vigorously. I asked Meredith if she wants to feel the baby and she nodded so I put her hand on my belly. It took a couple of tries, but eventually the baby did kick right where her hand [...] Pregnancy-wise things are still pretty uneventful. Kris felt the baby for the first time last Wednesday. He/she moves around pretty much every evening for a while now. I feel him intermittently throughout the day too, but it’s most reliable in the evenings right now. We haven’t scheduled an ultrasound and didn’t plan to, though I’m having [...] We heard the heartbeat tonight. It was the first appointment. (It’s a recording of a recording, so it’s not super clear.) Honestly, I didn’t really feel that we even needed to go. She checked my bp which I knew was fine, measured my fundus which I’ve measured myself, etc. But I really like her and want [...] We were never great about getting belly pictures when I was pregnant with Meredith, but at least we managed to do it every couple of weeks or so. We’ve been even worse with this baby. We finally did get a few today though, and I thought I would share what we have so far for anyone [...] I can’t believe I’m already in the second trimester. It seems unreal that a third of the pregnancy would already be done. Though first trimester is a bit deceptive, since the first two weeks you’re not actually pregnant and the second two weeks you normally don’t know about it. And first trimester is only twelve weeks [...] For those that missed it in the last post, I added a subtle (or maybe not-so-subtle) clue to some big news. Next March, we will be welcoming baby number two to our family. I’m still really early (I will be 5 weeks on Monday), so we’re not officially announcing anything even to family for a week [...] Annie over at PhD in Parenting wrote a post last week about the Canadian Maternity Experiences Survey with some follow up questions. I’ve been reading others’ answers with interest and thought that I would add my own to the mix. The questions themselves are actually from Ann Douglas. Type of prenatal care provider |
