This morning I woke up from a nightmare in which I had stupid pointless fights with my family, fought with an acute and severe depressive episode (and no one would comfort me), and then tried to help hold/bathe a baby which twisted impossibly and hated me and puked and pooped (impossibly) and then c...

23 weeks today! 1 week until Wee Brontosaurus upgrades! I can't believe how fast it's come. I'm so excited. Last night I had a baby dream, and it was reasonably nonsensical as dreams are, but I remember snuggling Wee Brontosaurus and loving it. My new bathing suit arrived, and fits reasonably well. ...

I had a nightmare last night that I started miscarrying. It was unpleasant. But a relief to wake up! Oh good, everything is still okay! And Wee Brontosaurus has moved around a bit, including one big stretch, so it's very reassuring. This is the hat I want to knit. I found the perfect shade of yarn, ...

Yesterday Rei made a heroic trip out to pick up a microwave steriliser and breast pump from a freecycle donator, and today we picked up a bag of newborn-sized bottles. And now we can totally sterilise it all! I plan to breastfeed, but a) I'd like a day off now and then and b) dads are already at suc...

Yeah, it's about staying in the country. Being a student and all, I'm expected to actually, you know, study. Not take time off for babies. But I feel better after having talked to my supervisors, since they are in my court and will help me wrangle the best situation we can out of it. Part of the str...

Hahaha, hi, Kimmie! Alea, I have a couple of pictures since it started being visible, but I don't like them and/or am self-conscious about them. I doubt I'll post those ones online, but catch me on AIM or I'll email them to you. In other news, I talked to the immigration advice people here at the sc...

Oh MAN I am going to be cranky for the GTT. I already know I'm susceptible to hypoglaecemia, though not nearly severe enough to be called diabetic. And diabetes runs in the family (Type 2). So there's certainly a chance I get the fun of gestational diabetes, and either way I am not going to enjoy th...

Hahaha, it's been a busy day! Wee Brontosaurus is all extant and intact! He/she/it was very spiny and not at all helpful to the poor ultrasound techs. He wanted to be upside down on his head and with knees tucked over his body. It is truly astonishing to see the four chambers of the heart of somethi...

Rei, I tried that with the enteric-coated vitamins back in Toronto. Didn't work really all that well, certainly not worth the effort. Meh. Caspian, we're probably going to end up with the pocket type, or another two-piece system. You're right, it's not THAT much extra effort, and will be totally wor...

They have fish-oil that is enteric coated which supposedly hides the fishiness of the oil. They're all I've taken, and I've never noticed a fishy after taste, but YMMV. Besides, fish oil might be doing more harm than good. A better option to taking Omega 3 supplementation is just to reduce your Ome...

Nope, I found out via Science ! About 90% certain I felt Wee Brontosaurus kicking up a storm this morning. Seems he was as annoyed as his momma by the fire drill waking us up! I finally have a meeting set up with my supervisors, sadly a week and a half away. By then I will be at 20 weeks, and have h...

Heck, while I'm at it, I'm really worried about finding a place to live, since a 1-bedroom place is almost twice as expensive as splitting a 2-bedroom one, but who wants to live with a noisy newborn? And what are we going to do about the baptism? We're going to be here long enough that it's the only...

Brontosaurus Lays an Egg
Right then. Creating one thread for this means that the rest of you who don't want to be bombarded with pregnancy-whining can enjoy your Milagre in peace. :) Week 17 May or may not have felt Wee Brontosaurus moving around. Could be gas, could be muscle spasms from being tired. Resolve to sleep in mo...
