Our Baby Girl

I have been really lazy and have not posted since Isabelle was born. Our little girl was born on October 26th at 8:56 pm, weighing in at 8 lbs 14 oz and 21 1/4 inches long. Everything went well but she had definite signs of being overdue ( I was 9 days over). I actually was scheduled to be induced at 5pm on the 26th. I am glad I didn't have to be induced and things went naturally with a little help from the doctor.
Since we have had her at home she has been a great baby. She rarely cries and if she does it normally means that she is either hungry or sleepy. She has been a really good sleeper and has been sleeping thru the night since she was a month old and before that she would maybe wake up twice in the night to eat. During the day she will put herself to sleep while she is in her play yard. She started to smile the day before she turned a month, she has been talking for quite awhile now and it seems like she is going to laugh soon. She likes looking at herself in the mirror and enjoys it when we read books to her. She just started to hold on to toys.
Isabelle just got her first set of shots last week and she did pretty good. She still has a click in her hip but we are double diapering her to help that go away. So far she is a really good traveler, we took our first trip with her at 3 weeks old. We went up to Niapwin for Alumni weekend and for her to meet uncle Matthew for the first time. She traveled really well. On the way home we were 15 minutes away from home and she had had enough. She cried for a bit but once we took her out of her car seat for a few minutes she was good. We have also now traveled out to Saskatoon for Christmas and she did good then too. While we were in Saskatoon for Christmas Isabelle got sick. She threw up 3 times, twice on some one. She had a stuffy nose but was good otherwise. You could tell she was sick because she wasn't herself, she was whinny and wanted to be held. Which was good because there were lots of people who wanted to hold her.

Anyways that is a little bit of an update on our family since we became a family of 3.

baby belly

I was just looking through some of my belly pictures and I haven't done a very good just at taking pictures every month like I had wanted to but here is what I have. I feel that these pictures don't really do justice but oh well the camera always lies if you may say that. Most of these pictures are taken right before I go to bed so don't look at my to closely.

The baby has been quite active and the dr say's it is growing well. It is crazy how fast it is going by and before we know it we will have a little one in our arms. It is very exciting.

Well I hope you enjoy the new pictures.

Baby Pictures and Pregnancy update

Awhile ago I got to go for my ultrasound(I was 20wks). Here are a few pictures from the ultrasound. Most pictures say on the bottom what the picture is of. It was really neat to see the pictures of the baby because it made it so much more real to me. There is actually a little person growing inside of me.

Since my last post I have still been doing, but just this last Saturday at work I had another almost fainting spell. The same things happened as last time. My manager wanted to send me home but I told her once it is over I will be ok and I was. Good thing it was only a 3 hr day and it was slow.

The baby has been fairly active and both Tim and I have been able to feel it's kicks which is fun.

We have been fairly productive buying baby stuff on good deals and great steals at garage sales. We have all the big things that if baby came we would be ok other then in the clothing department. LOL.

So yeah nothing too exciting but that is good. I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Update

Well so far I have still been feeling really good. I have found one thing that make me sick and that is Dairy Queen Ice cream. I went out to get Blizzard's with Cara while they were having their anniversary sale and about half an hour after I was done mine I was not feeling good. So I had a sore stomach all night and part of the next morning. Some of the girls at work were like you have to try it again to see if that was actually what caused it. I am not going to try it again and will abstain from DQ ice cream until this baby comes into the world. It is not the worst thing that could happen. I will survive. Also the day after the ice cream incident I almost fainted. My sister-in-laws and I had gone for a walk and stopped at Cara's house to visit and I was getting a little bit warm, then my head started to spin a bit and then I was like I need to sit down. A few seconds after I sat down the girls said I went as white as a ghost and then a few seconds later they said my face was very red and I could just feel the sweat dripping off of me. So yeah that was a new experience. Someone had mentioned maybe it was my blood pressure but I am not sure. I had my appointment for my blood tests this past week and if anyone know me they probably know that I don't like needles. I was hoping that they were going to do them at my last doctors appointment but I had to go to the hospital to get them done. So I had to go by myself because Tim was working. I got myself worked up and cried like normal. But they two nurses were very kind a patient with me and it was actually a very good experience for me so hopefully in the future all other experiences will be the same too.
So yeah nothing to exciting has happened but thing seem to be going well. Yeah!
