Un Petit Garçon?

I'm still having some difficulty in accepting that yes, I am indeed pregnant...it's crazy. For four long years, I've dreamt of the day that I was pregnant. The day that I was able to blog about my bump and cravings and the day I was able to post ultrasound photos. 

 That day is here and I'm so incredibly happy about it!

 This past weekend I was in Toronto to see friends and attend the Banff Mountain Film Festival , visit the new Ripley's Aquarium at the base of the CN Tower and see my freind Rob's little girl on her 1st birthday. It was a fun filled and exciting weekend. I even managed to get up to the market that sells my south american cheese to make arequipe!

 We had a few hours to spare in the afternoon on Friday so I decided to go in and have a 3D ultrasound done. At 14 weeks 1 day, I knew that baby was going to be very small but wow...I was unprepared for how incredible the images were. It was amazing to get to see baby JaAdam moving, waving, shucking it's thumb and rolling over...

The tech did tell me that at such an early gestational age, gender might be hard to determine but she would have a look. If the baby was in the right position with it's legs open...she might get a peek. Well...she was able to get a peek and then some...


Of course she wasn't going to say with 100% certainty but she seemed very confident in saying 'BOY'. I was shocked...I was so sure that this baby was a girl but I think the pictures speak for themselves. We, of course, will not purchase a thing until after my anatomy scan on April 28th but that rule holds true regardless. I'm terrified of bringing anything baby related into my home until after 20 weeks. 

 What do you think....un petit garçon?

    yay!!!!! Look at that little boy! He is perfect! I love seeing the early ultrasounds when you can get the whole baby in one picture. So cute. I was also paranoid about bringing things home and didn't until after 24 weeks....but then we went crazy :). I am so thrilled for you that you get to be making these posts. FINALLY!!!!

    Wow!! "They say" (and my experience supports this) that an early "girl diagnosis" can be wrong, but unlikely with a boy. So, I say...BOY it is! Congrats! I like being a mom to a boy. I can already tell it's going to make me cooler, more active, and more "roll with it." The pics are great. I love the bottom middle photo. I just keep being SO happy for you!

    p.s. I used a lot of quotations in this comment, huh?

Keeping Secrets

I've been keeping a secret. I'm not even going to make you wait. I'm just going to come out and say it. I really don't like when people say, "Hey, I have news" and then ramble on for fifteen minutes about how they didn't know how to tell you, and would you like the good news or the bad news first. I mean, if you don't know how to tell me, then maybe you should have thought about it a little bit more before you brought it up, because now I'm just sitting here waiting while you find the perfect words to share news that...let's be honest...probably doesn't impact me in the slightest. And as for the good news/bad news question? What do you think? If you're really asking, I'd rather not hear the bad news at all. Because who wants to hear bad news? Unless it's just "bad" relative to the good news, but not really all that bad in its own right, well then I guess I wouldn't mind hearing it. And I might like to hear it first

Dilemma

I’m having a bit of a dilemma. Which is putting it mildly. I am not sure whether to shut the factory down for good, or keep it chugging along in its pitiful, yet marginally functioning state. If things were normal, if *I* was normal (cue hysterical laughter here), then I might be happy to let things chug along as they were and see what happens. But things (my body and I) are far from normal and so I feel like I need to make a decision either way. Which really sucks and makes me feel a renewed sense of frustration, irritation and mourning for the sorry state of affairs of my reproductive bits. We recently had an appointment with our RE to discuss our options and see where we stand. It was great to touch base with Dr. L but as expected, nothing has really changed. My fertility has been on a fairly rapid decline and there's not much we can do to change that (FSH last tested at 20). It was good to hear that my tubes are open and that my uterus appears to be in good shape but despit

Start Spreading The News...

My trip to New York City was completely amazing but I'm not going to lie....the re-entry to life has been difficult this past two days. After 5 days away I thought I'd return refreshed and ready to jump back onto the work/life wagon...I was wrong. Is it Friday yet? The highlights of my trip were many. But first...I had a moment. When we made it to the hotel, the emotions that had been building the entire day and week came bursting out and I cried and cried. Oh, how I cried! Uncontrollable, sloppy, snotty bawling that pretty much claimed an entire box of tissues. You see, the morning that we left my period started...a full 5 days early. I was crushed. I was sure that this was THE cycle. My emotions got the better of me but I quickly re-grouped and a little voice chimed up saying, “Go splash water on your face and get out! Go and tackle your NYC bucket list head on” And tackle we did! In short, we took in two shows on Broadway, made a visit to the 9/11 Memorial, saw the Statue of
