Calgary Visit @ 25 weeks

The last two days have seemed so busy there has been NO time to update the blog!
Nola in the waiting room.
Doesn't matter, it's going to be short and sweet because of the consistently good news we are receiving.
Nola and Daddy.
The appointment was for 8 o'clock in the morning, which is good and bad.  We're the first ones in, so we'll be done in reasonable time.  But it's stinking early.  Especially to drag little girl out of her slumber and stick her in a car seat!

The appointment was great!  Quick ultrasound and the heart rate clear at 60.  I feel great, my meds are working properly and the baby's growth is bang on.  Awesome!
In the ultrasound room.
After we were done we'd planned to go to IKEA.  It was the day to buy Nola her big girl bed!!  Kevin and I wanted to buy ourselves some stuff and we were prepared to make a big haul!  We bought ourselves a bedroom suite; headboard, footboard, MATCHING night stands, new lamps and a dresser for me!!  We feel so grown up!
Car seat Nola.

Nola faired well although she was tired.  She walked and played most of the way through and slept hard on the way home.

I'm stopping there because we're having company for supper tonight and I still have a list of things to do!

The momentum continues... :)  [Sorry that the pictures are screwy!  I don't know why.]

The Real Deal

I was able to experience something incredible today.   Me, my Grandmother (Oma) and my Mother (Monika) went to see Dwayne, a Psychic Medium. Of course I got the idea from watching some TV shows and thinking about how interesting it would be.   Then I discovered a cousin in Ontario recently went to a Psychic Medium to connect with her passed Father.   As luck and irony should have it, shortly after that I saw a Facebook status of a friend who had had the pleasure of being read by Dwayne and how “blown away” she was.   That was enough for me, and I got his information and booked the appointment. I convinced my Mom and Oma that this should be something the three of us do together.   I didn’t think it would take too much convincing as they are both spiritual to a degree and definitely open minded.   Yep, they agreed. Dwayne agreed to see the three of us consecutively, which I was grateful for, thinking it might be a bit too much Drexler/Schmidt/Cappi...

It's "Kebec", not "Kwebec"

We have been in Quebec (pronounced “Kebec” not “Kwebec”) for about the last 6 days. The first thing I have to bring to your attention immediately is how BIG Ontario and Quebec really are! I mean, seriously, if you haven’t looked at a map in a while, pull one out right now and really take a look. Secondly, since getting through Ontario and now having driven through Quebec, there are NO bugs… Now this may SEEM great, but I don’t think it is. Our windshield has been basically clean since we left Winnipeg. Now I hate mosquito bites as much as the next person, but we all have to admit it takes ALL things to make the world go ‘round… Thirdly, we have noticed more smoking! I cannot say for sure that they ACTUALLY have more smokers than the west, but we are sure noticing a lot more people lighting up in general. I think I speak for everyone in the family when I say Quebec has been wonderful. The campground we stayed at in Montreal was about an hour from down town. We haven’t known much a...

Calgary Visit @ 27 weeks

I think it's going to be a hold-your-breath kind of week. Baby girls heart beat was at about 53 today.  55 is the danger zone cut off.  It kind of stumped Kevin and I.  The ultrasound tech was super nice and, of course, they don't really know what sort of news they're giving us when they tell us the heart rate.  They don't know why we're there, but we went a little quiet when she said.  I wasn't really expecting that. Today Kevin and I decided to get a disc of pictures of our sweetheart.  She was having a party today while they were trying to take pictures, wiggling and bouncing. She's about 2 1/4 pounds. Her feet measure about 5.4 cm. So with the lower rate, the pediatric cardiologist (the amazing Dr. Fruitman) came into the room immediately to have a look for herself and we had the consult right away.  She asked me how things had been and I told her about this past week.  I took a hard fall on the ice with Nola in my ...
