22 Weeks...

For all you "Tummy Obsessed"....Here it is! Growing like a weed.

P.S.
I forgot to mention...This past Sunday (May.28/06) I finally started to feel the baby move. I was just laying down to go to sleep, and I felt a tiny "flutter." The way I think of it is...like the bubbles in a can of pop. When you pour the pop in a glass and you watch the bubbles rise, that's how it feels for me. Maybe that sounds strange, but that was my best attempt to explain! Anyhow, hope you are all doing well!
Take care,

Scary moment....

Ian and I just got back from taking Kita for a walk, down at the "Dog Walk." For those of you who aren't familiar with the "Dog Walk" it's a nice little walk here in Nelson, along the water where dogs are allowed to tear around off leash and just enjoy themselves.
We had decided we wanted to take her down there tonight for a quick little walk to see how high the water is. It is very high!! Anyhow, just as we are ending our walk, Kita runs out on this piece of cement, which because the water is so high right now is even with the water...and she fell in. I never even saw her fall in, I just heard her trying to get out...without even thinking I tore out there myself and grabbed her out of the water. Needless to say Ian is breathing better now that we are all out of "harms way." What a scary moment, but it wasn't until after I had got her out of the water that I burst into tears!
Anyhow, we're all fine...but thought I would share that interesting story with all of you. I think I might go back down tomorrow and take some pictures of the water level.
Take care,
Coral

May long weekend

This past weekend Ian, KIta, and I went to Spokane. We bought the new flooring for the baby's room which we are thrilled about! And it was even on sale (which never seems to happen!) Yay! We found a lot of great things at Baby Depot! Next month when we go back to pick up the flooring (they have to order it in) we're definatley hitting there again! So many things to do in such a short time left us feeling quite tired, but nothing like soaking (legs only) in the hot tub!! Hope you all had a great weekend.

There he is...(Or so I say) Straight out front. So, my next ultrasound is booked for June 8th @ 11:00. Hopefully these pictures will be more clear. I'll put them on here as soon as I get them!

Baby Colgur ~ The first pictures....

So... I don't take very clear pictures...The ultrasound tech couldn't get a clear picture of the baby's heart, so I'll have to go for another ultrasound. Not sure when yet, we'll find out soon. So the answer to everyone's question...It is just the one. When we get the new pictures, I'll post those for you all.
Take care,
Love Coral

Tomorrow's the BIG DAY!!!

Hey everyone! Just wanted to share a little news with you. I went to the doctor today, and my doctor now thinks (after seeing me) that it is just the one. After losing the initial 12 pounds, I have (in the last month) put on 4 1/2!! So I am doing good! I am ok with having one baby at a time, although I really had started to get my hopes up that we'd be having twins. However, I just hope for a healthy & of course happy baby...one who enjoys SLEEPING!! (ha ha ha) Anyway, Ian is taking the day off work tomorrow and is SO excited for the ultrasound....A first look at our baby!!!
Keep you all updated!
Love, Coral, Ian, Kita & baby.

P.S. Just so you know, as soon as the site I am needing is back up and running, there'll be a section where you can post your comments if you want to.

The Draino Gender Test...

May, 10th /06
Have you heard of it? Well, everyone I have ever talked to that has done it, said it came out right for them...So this morning I did it....So, what were the results...A BOY!! Anyhow, just thought I would share that with you all. For those of you who aren't sure exactly what this is here's the website...and you can see for yourself...http://www.bobandtom.com/frames/draino_test.htm
Have a good day!

Update

So, today's date is Tuesday May, 9th /06. What is so exciting about this date? Well, it means there is only one week today to find out if Ian and I will be the parents of TWINS!! That's right, for all of you who don't know, my doctor thought she may have heard two hearbeats last month! So we are looking forward to our ultrasound!! ~Stay tuned...
As for how I am feeling these days, pretty good other than the headaches. Still can't go off the medication, but I have way more energy that I did earlier...Kita is much appreciative! So we are out for lots of walks...
And the big question....my tummy just sorta "popped" overnight this past weekend. It is still qute small, but there is actually small signs that this hasn't been a dream.
Take care...
