We're home cheering on Canada vs. USA tonight. I don't have a Team Canada jersey, or a Flames one for that matter, so Iginla will have to do! At least he's on the Canadian team. Coincidentally, I have 12 weeks to go! Go Iggy! Go Canada!

26 weeks
Quite the difference between 18 and 26 weeks!! From the beginning of this pregnancy, I've gained 15 lbs. At my 20 week appointment, I was measuring 24 weeks!! At my 24 week appointment, I was measuring 25 weeks, so Baby and I are on track. I was really careful with what I ate during my first pregnancy, but it's been much harder this time around. I try to get some protein in with each meal, but even that has been difficult at times. I try to nap whenever I can, but sometimes I just lie there in bed (if Harry even lets me nap--he's been a stinker these days), completely unable to sleep even if my body is screaming to! I don't remember Harry flip-flopping around this much this early. Sometimes I feel like Baby #2 is HUGE already!! He stills plays shy with Harry and most people that try to feel him kicking, but Dave has felt him move, and I'm feeling him all the time. I get some Braxton-Hicks contractions, heartburn, lots of round ligament pains, and painful muscle spasms in my calves at night. So far, I think this pregnancy has been more difficult physically. We've picked out a name though, and we'll try to keep it a secret!! I'm keeping a list of first initials on a side bar on this blog...first initials that Baby Boy Camwell will NOT have! Have fun guessing!

No, thank you!
Harry and I have been talking about his baby brother every day. Yesterday I asked him,
"Harry, who will your baby brother look like? Mommy, Daddy or Harry?"
Harry: "Um, Daddy?"
Mommy: "OK, you think the baby will look like Daddy?"
Harry: "Um, Mommy?"
Mommy: "OK, you think the baby will look like Mommy?"
Harry: "Thomas!"
Mommy: "No, let's hope the baby does NOT look like Thomas the Tank Engine!"

Baby's first present
Baby #2 got his first Christmas present--first present at all!--from Uncle Derek and Aunt Jan. I can't wait to fill it up with this little person! There's nothing sweeter than a warm little baby in a cozy sleeper. :)

It's a...
...boy!
Baby Boy Camwell made himself known right away at my ultrasound today! (We won't show you the photo with his boy parts!) He wouldn't cooperate with us, so we don't have a cute profile photo. This one is like our little skeletor baby is peering up against the window that is my uterus. :) Peek-a-boo!
He was kicking up a storm, so the technician had a hard time getting a shot of both precious feet.
Harry is very excited to be getting a baby brother!

18 weeks
I'm a little late on my "16 week" shot...
Things are good! I'm generally feeling well. I have some heartburn like last time, and depending on what I eat, I've had some bad gas pains that keep me up at night. But I'm feeling baby kick more and more, and pretty soon Daddy and Harry will be able to feel the kicks too! Harry likes laying his head on my tummy and sucking his thumb. It's very sweet...and then he sticks his finger in my belly button or pinches my tummy hard! My 16 week appointment went well--Baby's heartbeat was in the 160's--but I didn't like the doctor. I hadn't met her before--she's the newest in the practice. She didn't make eye contact with me when she met me at the beginning, she spent 5 minutes trying to determine my due date...um...why?, and her answers generally showed a lack of experience and confidence. I won't be scheduling more appointments with her if I can help it. I'd had some cramping and spotting in the few days leading up to my appointment, and she didn't quite reassure me. After obliging me with scheduling an ultrasound (reason: "threatened pregnancy"...which I find slightly funny since the ultrasound was scheduled 4 weeks later...she couldn't come up with a different reason?), her exact non-reassuring words were, "Well, if anything bad does happen at this point, there's nothing we can do about it." Boo! To end on a positive note, I will indeed be having my ultrasound at 20 weeks, only 2 weeks away!! Hopefully Baby will cooperate and turn the right way so we can see about buying a blue or pink little something for Christmas! :)
