I had another great check up with beloved Dr. J today. Everything is going well...except that I only have one more visit with him until Gummy Bear is born :(
You see, Dr. J is close to retirement, he doesn't do deliveries anymore. He has handled my pre-natal care up until now, but the time is coming when I get to start seeing the Dr. who will actually deliver Gummy. Ironically enough, this particular Doc also delivered Rockstar Daughter because Dr. J was on holiday when I went into labour with her, so I am familiar with him, and feel pretty good about seeing him again (I just really love my Dr. J!)
Check-up check-points:
BP was excellent, as it always has been. I've never had high blood-pressure in my life, and I'm super happy that its staying on the good side! One less thing to worry about.
The scale gave me quite a little surprise though....a good one! I am down another 3.5lbs. I almost fell off the scale when I saw the number! I mean, I've been eating. everything. especially Fuzzy's Fries. It doesn't seem to make sense, but I although I do indulge from time to time, I'm actually eating healthier then ever, so I guess that is the key (duh). I was initially worried when I saw the number, but when I asked Dr. J he said he thinks I'm doing wonderful and not to worry. So, hes the Doc, and I'm gonna take his word for it!
Dr. J listened for the heart beat with this weird, prehistoric, stethoscope type thing with his ear on one side and the other side pressing on my belly. He said he could hear it VERY LOUD! Yay Gummy has a strong heart beat. Unfortunately, I was only able to use his regular ol' stethoscope to hear and could only pick up a faint noise. I know, I know. My Doctor doesn't have a Doppler. WTF right? Well, that's what I thought, but he said my first appointment with delivery doctor I will be able to hear it for myself. He assures me everything is great with his/her heart.
So far, no swelling anywhere, so that's good to!
All in all, a great appointment! This Mamabear is satisfied!

Smells Like Summer
Grading day here in CB! What an exciting day for all the kidlets who have worked so hard all year! It also marks the beginning of Summer Vacay for Teachers and other Support Staff, like myself, who work within the Education System. 2 Lovely months free of tests, packed lunches, bells and buses! Yahoo! I'm not as excited as I usually am on Grading Day because I'm really nervous that I won't be able to go back to work in September seeing as how Gummy Bear is due to join us October 1st....but here's hoping I can!!
Congrats to all the kids and especially our Rockstar Daughter who had another wonderful report card again this year! She is promoted to GRADE SIX! Can't believe my baby is old enough. We are very proud of her, and will make sure she enjoys her hard earned Summer Vacation....Mamabear will be enjoying it right along with her!

Hamster See, Hamster Do
Just read this adorable post from a friend of mine's blog. She is also a fellow Mama-to-be (Their first) and she has joined our huge family/group of friends through my Sissy. Ok, here goes....She is my Sissy's Husband's Twin Brother's Wife. Got that? So, in essence, she is my Sissy's sister-in-law. The way my twisted mind works, that makes us some kind of sisters....right?
Her Blog is the one that I've been reading loyally for a long time now and actually finally gave me the guts to go ahead and write my own!! Thank you, little hamster :)
Check it out, its Beau-tee-ous:
www.newlyb.blogspot.com
Anyways, this was her latest post and I thought it was so cute, why not do one for my Gummy Bear?
Several of my favourite mommy & mommy-to-be bloggers post semi-regular updates of their pregnancies. Since Gummy Bear is taking up so many of my thoughts these days, it seemed to make sense to fill you in on our progress.
How far along? 26 weeks :)
How big is baby? The latest book that I'm nose-deep in and the pregnancy website I frequent tell me that Gummy Bear is just under 2 pounds and about 12-14 inches long. A good food comparison would be an eggplant. *Funny moment last night while grocery shopping with the Fam we somehow stumbled upon an Eggplant (I've never bought or attempted to cook one before) and I proceeded to hold it up to my belly and announce, look, its our baby. I think the grocery store was quite empty, otherwise I would have gotten the look from Rockstar Daughter. That would have been scary.
Total weight gain: As of my last Dr's appointment I had gained 1/2 a pound. But I've actually lost 37....so I guess that brings my total to minus 36.5?
Maternity Clothes? I have plenty of yet-to-be-worn maternity clothes (see above) so I have not purchased any lately, but I was just saying to Hubby this morning that I am going on a hunt for some good maternity skivvy's this week.
Stretch marks? None yet!
Belly button? I'm about half way between an innie and an outtie now, but I can feel it changing more everyday!
Sleep: Gahhhh....what is this mythical word you speak of? SAH-LEEP?
Ok, I may be exaggerating a bit, but my sleep patterns are totally messed up! I'm finding it harder and harder to find a comfy position and spend most the night tossing and turning. I've tried it all. Sleeping with extra pillows, sleeping with minimal pillows, sleeping with my legs propped up, heck, there were a few nights where Hubby and I actually slept Head-to-Toe. Sad, but true. So far, I have yet to find the perfect sleeping position, but I'm going to keep on truckin'. Besides, my napping is at an all time high during the day, so at least I'm getting my shut eye then!
Movement: Love. Nothing feels better then feeling Gummy Bear kick the crap out of me. He/She has a very distinct sleep pattern already. I notice it A LOT more right when I am laying down in bed or on the couch (which you just learned happens frequently now).
Food cravings: Two words. Fuzzy's Fries. One more word. Yum. I wouldn't say that I'm craving them. That is putting it mildly. I'd phrase it like, I'm at the point where it's "Take me to Fuzzy's now or I will make the rest of your life a living hell" phase. For those of you unfamiliar, it's an awesome little chip wagon here in CB that sells home-made, fried in peanut oil, smothered in pepper and vinegar, french fry goodness. And they are super cheap to! What a lethal combination!!
What I am looking forward to: Obviously meeting Gummy Bear is event that I'm most excited for, but there are others too. I am excited for the ultrasound that should take place a few weeks before He/She gets here. I'm excited to have our in-place-of-a-baby-shower BBQ get together at our place. I love going to the Doctor's now as well. So many things to be excited for!
Milestones: I'm so happy to be getting ready to enter the Third Trimester! YAY! That's a pretty big milestone that is coming up. I can't believe how much time has passed already! Feels like yesterday since we found out Gummy Bear was on his/her way!
That was fun!
Gotta go get me some Fuzzy's :P

Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes
Well, I've read about 347 books about pregnancy so far and each one of them has their lists of changes you will experience during the exciting 9 month time frame. I'm making up my own to document all the changes I've experienced over the last 6 months and also during Rockstar Daughter's dwelling within my womb.
1. Food likes/Dislikes
I've never been picky. Besides not liking a few foods like celery, cheese whiz (if that even counts as a food), and pea soup, I've always eaten what was put in front of me. But man oh man, am I one picky preggo person (alliteration anyone?)! When meal time comes around I can actually see Hubby's dread on his face. Whatever he suggests is not what I want. When he actually mentions something I would like to eat, it takes me some time to actually commit to eating it because I'm still not 100% sure. I've even gone to the extreme of having to "hide" things in the cupboard that are unappealing to me. There was a few months where the sight of the canned tomatoes would make me want to run to the bathroom and puke up whatever measly breakfast I had that morning. They are still in their hiding place to this day because I'm just not sure if I'm ready to come face to face with them yet.
2. Energy
I'm tired. All. The. Time.
3. People's attitudes towards your bump.
Who doesn't love a little baby belly? This time round, its altogether different. I was a very young Mamabear 11 years ago and, although I had nothing but support from my wonderful family/friends, there were more then a few times when I had run-ins with complete strangers who lacked any kind of accepted social behaviour. Luckily, I knew what the people around me thought and that was all that mattered to me. This time, its like people instantly smile when they see the belly! :)
4. Clothes
Obviously, your body changes and therefore, so does your wardrobe. But, something funny kind of happens to. You know when you go shopping (Now, not everyone will get what I'm saying, but most women will), and you go in the dressing room and your like...."Hmmm...I like this, but I wish it was longer/looser or hides my belly more"? Well, YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT NOW!! Its so nice to go looking for clothes that shows off your belly!! :)
5. Emotions
Ok, so I was never the type to cry during a sad movie, or after reading a sweet card or anything unless it really merited a few tears. Now I cry over everything!! Commercials, movies, songs, greeting cards, emails from friends, etc. Now, mind you they are all "Oh I'm just so happy I could cry" tears but this is all new to me!! My hard ass rep is being compromised...... :P
6. Hair Growth
Another not so pleasant change. All the books will casually mention that your hair MAY grow quicker and thicker during pregnancy. Now, its lovely that your once flat hair is now full of volume and shiny-ness, but you know whats not so lovely? Wearing an extra layer on your legs. Yea, that's not fun. Now I know what men feel like during their five o'clock shadow time. I know, lovely mental picture....my bad. Its annoying, obviously, but besides the fact that our budget for razors has flown completely out the window, its not that bad. My only regret is that I'm not preggo through the winter....it sure would come in handy to my home-made, naturally grown leg warmers then instead of now!
7. How you "express yourself"
There are two types of people in this world.
- The ones who say I never curse, ever.
&
- The ones who think I could give a rough looking, tattooed sailor a run for his money in the profanity department.
As you are reading this, you can easily place yourself in either category.
The first group mostly consists of my family, work friends, Rockstar Daughter's friend's parents, etc and most importantly, any child within ear shot. I'm a firm believer of sheltering kids from all those bad words, even though, BELIEVE ME, they hear them at school! Sissy and I never heard bad words growing up, well not from our family anyways, and I'm trying my hardest to make sure Rockstar Daughter doesn't either.
Now that all the books say Gummy Bear can hear sounds through the belly, Hubby and I find ourselves shushing each other a lot when its just the two of us, saying "SSSSHHHHHH, the baby can hear!"
There are many more changes that each Mamabear experiences (and Daddybears to!) but these are the most prominent in our Happy Little Home.
Would you add any to the list?

Would you add any to the list?
Always, Sometimes, Never
I always:
* Have music playing. In the car, kitchen, bedroom, anywhere!
* Give hugs/kisses good night to Hubby and Rockstar Daughter....even though she thinks she is too old.
* Make up to-do lists in my head. Haven't mastered getting them on paper.
* Smile.
* Feel guilty about not getting to see my and Hubby's Grandparents/Family as much as we would like.
* Am up for a bon fire, party and company. The more the merrier.
* Get sucked into a few silly, pointless reality TV shows every season.
* Procrastinate.
* Leave stuff in the back seat of the car for days then finally ask Hubby to bring it in.
I sometimes:
* Eat too much Chocolate and feel sick after.
* Throw myself a pity party before I realize how lucky I really am and snap out of it.... Life is Good.
* Embarress Hubby or Rockstar Daughter with my good natured antics in public.
* Put the household chores on the back burner in order to spend more time to do other important things.....like Napping.
* Buy things I don't really need just because they're on sale.
* Forget to email, call or text people back.
* Forget how big my family is until weddings, funerals or Holidays.
* Fall and hurt myself.
* Watch scarey movies and then immediatley afterwards wonder why I chose to do that?
* Forget to lock the door to the washroom and start panicking when I hear someone's footsteps near by.
* Have a hard time admitting I'm wrong. Luckily, it hasn't happened often! :P
I never:
* Say never.
* Had a single cavity my whole life! I use this as a challenge for my very competitive Rockstar Daughter....So far she is doing great!!
* Want to forget all of my favourite memories.
* Drink Coffee. Yuck.
* Want to make anyone feel bad about themselves.
* Be late! For anything. Hopefully that won't change when Gummy Bear gets here!
* Cry in front of people if I can help it.
* Enjoy wrapping presents, the only thing I DON'T like about Christmas.
