We told everyone the news after the first ultrasound! Pretty pleasant reaction all around. Mom said she suspected I was pregnant and a lot of the girls suspected it too!

Still feeling pretty dragged out... hopefully I start to get some energy back soon. Otherwise everything is going fine. Been a lot easier to keep it a secret than i ever thought it would be. Suppose to go for an ultra sound next week but still haven't heard from the docs office... so I guess I will have to call them today.

Update!!!
Our appointment for the 10 week Ultrasound is Monday November 17th!!! So exciting!!!

The 10 Things You Never Knew About Remembrance Day

Found this interesting article about Remembrance Day

The red white and blue

Proud day for Americans. I was very pleased with their electoral results. I'm always impressed and some what envious of the energy Americans emote with their elections. Wish Canadian federal elections had so much energy. Be really nice to want to support a candidate for PM rather than always having in defense. Feelings like we are always voting against someone rather than for.

Open up and say aaaaaaaahhh

DS had his first dentist appointment today. He did awesome! Everyone in the office was sooo impressed. He got extra prizes from the hygienist whom praised him to no end and told all the office workers how good he was. Of course I bought him a new train as a reward!

Anyone looking for a really cute book about going to the dentist the Dora the Explorer book "Show me your Smile: A visit to the Dentist"
is a great option. It has realistic pictures and shows the office and the tools used in detail. There is even a page on xrays. I initally picked up the Berenstain's bears book "The Berenstain Bears Visit the Dentist" but it's more about a loose tooth and I wasn't impressed at the negativity expressed by brother bear. The dora book is a much better choice for the first time toddler!

Feeling pretty good. Tired and lacking energy all the time. I've gained no weight, but have had to start breaking out the maternity clothes. Trying to start picking up a few winter items too! Buying all supper big maternity clothes as I'm anticipating being as large as I was last pregnancy... but really hoping the regiment that my obgyn has me on will help. I'm taking the regular prenatal vitamins plus a calcium substitute and low dose aspirin daily. Sounds like a lot when you write it out!

We've been starting to prep ds with a few new books... havent found any real great ones yet though. I'll have to do some book reviews later. He's so into babies lately... I think he will be totally ecstatic when we finally tell him.
