Dizzy Spells

So I figured it was time to update this a little. Tomorrow I'll be at 24 weeks. I know it's a little cliche but I can't believe the time is going by so quickly. In 3 days it will be May and before I know it I'll be starting my maternity leave and then you'll be here! It's so scary to think of myself as a mum. I know we'll be fabulous parents but I just worry about stuff... money mostly. I bought the stroller on Monday. It won't be delivered until July 11. We're counting on you not being an early baby because we won't have a carseat to take you home in!!
I also went to see Dr. Raby on Monday. My weight was 168... a lot higher than I wanted it to be at this stage but not unexpected. I haven't been watching what I've been eating at all. I've recomitted to healthy eating. After all, I only have 6 months to lose the pregnancy weight so I don't want to be as big as a house...
Dr. Raby sent me for some bloodwork becaue of my dizzy spells and I'm going for an echocardiogram next Thursday for the same reason. It's like a heart ultrasound. She doesn't expect anything abnormal but wants to check just in case.

Baby, I feel you all the time. You're definitely reminding me constantly that you're in there. Lisa says you'll get annoying but I don't think so. What a miracle you are. I still find it unbelievable that I am growing a HUMAN BEING inside me. It's simply incredible!

I added the photo from 23 weeks too.

The Halfway Mark

Almost 21 weeks pregnant. That means almost 5 months. It's hard to believe I'm over halfway through. We've been taking belly photos every week, though, so I'll be able to remember this easier hopefully. I wish I could call back the feeling of being pregnant whenever I want once the baby's born and then have the feeling go whenever I want.

I'm beginning to feel stronger kicks more and more but it's just one at a time; never more that just once.

We leave for Mexico on Saturday. Just 4 sleeps away! Craig's sister Lisa and her husband Chris are going to stay here and feed the cats. We're giving them use of the car for the week too. Lisa just has to drive us to and from the airport. Pretty good deal, I'd think.

On Sunday on our way to Grandma and Grandpa Jambor's we spun out (it was so scary!!) on the 401. The front passenger tire came right off the rim and the rim got all scraped up. We had to put on the spare tire and drove on highway 2 all the way to mum and dads from Woodstock. We were hyperventilating and everything. Quite an experience! And not one we ever want to repeat!
