So, not much to report at this point, except I found out I am considered 'a high risk pregnancy' due to my last c-section. Sadly that means I can't use my doctor from last time, but that I will need to see a specialist. I got word today that the doctor I will see for prenatal care is in Richmond, blah! Kinda of a bit of a drive for such short appointments, but not much I can do about that. I get my physical done here locally with my regular doctor, then I go on from there with the specialist. Oh, and my doctor said she can give me a prescription to my good ol friend Diclectin when I need it, yay!
Oh, here is my 6 week pregnancy belly picture. I decided to do belly shots this time since I didn't do that with Ariel. I think I will try and do them weekly or biweekly, what do you think? Thoughts from those who have done them is appreciated. See, I already have a little 'bump' which is mostly likely from being bloated (and too much Christmas treat goodness). Yay pregnancy!
Ariel woke up when I was doing this and wanted her picture taken too, awe.
Other major news, yesterday Ariel and I awoke to a power outage. One of those weird ones we sometimes get where half our house is out and the other half isn't. So anything on the left side was working, and the right wasn't. WEIRD, I know! The kitchen was all without power, but the bathroom was fine. Woot! Haha. Ariel was very concerned and didn't understand why I wouldn't turn on the lights. Plus it didn't help that it was a miserable day yesterday and dark in general, so much for natural lighting. I ended up taking Ariel out for lunch since we had nothing cold to eat in the fridge (we were doing the big shop later that evening with Ken). That perked her up.
After lunch we went to the doctors and came home to find all the power out now. Well, Ariel was REALLY upset because the hallways were dark when we came in and it scared her. The positive thing was if it was all out now, they were working on it. I called the Hydro line and it was to be back in an hour and a half. So we called Nana and went for a visit. While there, we got to take part in the afternoon ice cream treats they get! I had a very yummy maple crunch ice cream cone, ooh. Sorry no pics, my camera batteries were recharging in a house with no power, blah!
In the evening after dinner we went to the grocery store and did our month shop. I must say having Ken there helped, and we may have to do it this way for awhile. Its fun shopping together, and he did sneak in a few treats. Naughty Ken... but I can't complain since I am totally snacking on the chips while I type, haha.
Today there was a break in the rain and Ariel and I were able to walk down to town. I was loving being out but slowly found myself getting more and more nauseous. Part of me thinks just getting sick now would be better than waiting for it to come... I think this is how I felt about the whole thing last time. However, public throwing up isn't my idea of fun... nor to I think people want to see that sort of thing.
We came home to have some lunch and chill out a bit. Ariel had her first taste of chocolate milk this week and let me tell you, it was love at first sip. I do believe my daughter has a sweet tooth. Haha.
Later we had a call from Stella asking if we wanted to come over and start cutting out things for the cupcake quilt. So we headed over and got most of the bits cut up. Tonight I finished all the pieces for the cupcake blocks and laid them out on the floor. Sooooooooooo cute! The empty places will be a nine patch design using the colors from the cupcake tops (pink, green and blue). The striped material will be a boarder around the whole quilt, but I had to have one funky cupcake in the middle, just for kicks. We will be going back tomorrow to start some sewing! Yay!
Well, I think I may craw into bed early to relax, feeling pretty tired. Yawn, goodnight!

I did Belly shots during my pregnancy with Jenny, wanted to do it again now but somehow lacking the enthusiasm about it. I mean I constantly think "hey let's do one when Steve gets home" but then it's mostly so darn crazy around here I usually remember it when I am already in bed half asleep. I did a few, I guess about 4 up to now (25 weeks). I also bought another pregnany journal to write into...haven't used it as much as I wanted to either (but at least a little). Will send you a belly shot from Jenny being only a few days away from the due date via email if you like. They are always good to remember. (and fear what is still coming) ;)

With Leïla I took pictures every week for the first trimester since that is when I could see major changes. Then I tried to keep going but they ended up being every 2 weeks or so. I still love to look back at my pictures. Such a special time!
Canadian health care is so foreign to me...literally, I guess! :) Sorry you'll have to drive farther for your visits. I took belly pictures with all of my pregnancies...first and second time I started at 4 weeks. (Third time I started at 8 weeks b/c I was fearful of another miscarriage.) We took pictures every 4 weeks until 36, then we added an extra in at 38 incase we didn't make it to 40, but of course we did! :) Looking forward to seeing your belly grow over the coming months! Great start on the quilt too! It's going to be lovely!!
I did belly shots about every week, and in the end when the shape changes so much we did them more often- I ended having Boston at 34 weeks 5 days, so I am glad for the more closely spaced ones at the end because they were my last belly shots EVER!! SO fun!!
I did weekly belly shots with both kids from about 10 weeks on.
looking forward to seeing the cupcakes all done. :)
