Week 19: May 19th–
May 25th : Baby is the size of……A CANTELOUPE
To say we were excited to find out about our little girl
would be an understatement. When the ultrasound tech revealed the gender to us
I cried immediately. I think this would have been my reaction regardless of the
sex but it was just such an overwhelming feeling of love and joy to know part
of the identity of our little nugget. I believe the first words out of Chris’s
mouth were “Well, it looks like I need to go and buy a gun”. The look of love
and excitement on his face was priceless and all he talks about now is “his
princess”. If I was a manipulative person I could probably get him to do
anything I wanted right now if I just told him “princess” wanted him to do
it haha…….that doesn’t mean I won’t work that to my advantage in the future!
How far along: 19
weeks
Total weight gain: about
9 lbs so far
Stretch marks: nothing
to report…..lets hope it stays that way
Sleep: Some
nights are great and a few have been restless
Miss anything? Not

and lots….and its still my favourite feeling in the world!

more predicting, there is definitely a little lady in thereJ

healthy in there
Looking forward to? Decorating
the nursery and shopping for our little girl!
Week 20: May 26th–
June 1st : Baby is the size of……A LARGE BANANA
Week 20 was another great week! For the last 4 weeks I have
been struggling with some pretty bad rib pain on my right side. Chris has been
treating me and I have been trying to stay as active as possible and it seems
to be working. I was terrified I would be stuck with this for my entire
pregnancy because it was making me feel pretty crummy. I don’t know if it is
Chris’s magic hands or if whatever was stretching has finally stretched but
I’m just so thankful to be feeling a bit better. Considering this has been my
only real pregnancy complaint I probably should not even whine, but oh well,
it’s going away and I’m THRILLED.
On Tuesday night Ashley, Kyle and Lawson Lieske came over
for dinner. Lawson is only 5 weeks old and is such a good baby. He came
over wearing a special shirt for his new girlfriend that said “Hey Baby, your
crib or mine?”. Guess who didn’t think
that was funny? It is absolutely adorable how protective Chris is over his
little princess already. You can just see the overprotective father emerging
from him, which I get a huge kick out of and secretly think is the most
adorable thing ever.
In other news, one of my teaching assistants asked me if I
was pregnant this week. My response was “yes, otherwise I would be concerned
with this big belly I’m growing” to which he replied “For the last couple of
weeks I was just thinking you had stopped working out!” How great eh! We had a
good laugh after and agreed that asking a woman that question might be the most
dangerous and risky question on earth haha.
The rest of the week was crazy busy with work as usual but
we ended the 20th week by spending the day in Chestemere by the
lake. It was a gorgeous day. The boys spent the day fishing while Ashley,
Lawson and I relaxed on the dock and soaked up some rays. That’s what I call
relaxing! You also can’t beat the view out there either J

How far along: 20
weeks
Total weight gain: I’m
still thinking around 10 lbs
Stretch marks: none
to report. PHEW!
Sleep: Sleeping
great until about 5 am when little Miss Kaiser thinks it is time for a dance
party…..It’s the only reason I’ve ever been happy to wake up at 5 am.
Miss anything? My
family. It was Kai’s 3rd birthday on Saturday and my parents went to
Cayman on Sunday. I wish we could be there with themL
Movement: lots
and lots
Anything making you
queasy or sick: Nope feeling great especially now that my rib pain seems to
be calming down
Have you started to
show? Definitely showing. I am in a water running class on Monday,
Wednesday and Friday and try to swim Tuesdays and Thursdays at lunch hour and
it is definitely funny to see yourself pregnant in a bathing suit. Some of the
looks I get at the pool are also adorable
Gender prediction:
Let’s just get rid of that predictions since we know we have a little
miss……..and cross our fingers that our US tech was good at her job;)
Belly button in or
out? Shallow but still in
Wedding rings on or
off? On, but I’m definitely noticing the feel tight to get on in the am’s
Happy or Moody: Happy,
happy, happy!
Looking forward to? Seeing
my parents in a month
