Yesterday I had an ultrasound and first blood drawn for my IPS . I go in again at 16 weeks for the second blood test.
The ultrasound technician said I was 12 weeks and 4 days pregnant. I got to see the baby and he/she is so much bigger than the last ultrasound I had on the 5th. Hubby had a business lunch and couldn't make it.
I'm going to be sending out announcements this week hopefully. I've been so tired and my attention span seems to be very small which is highly frustrating. It's so hard to focus on one thing for very long.
More soon!

Timeline
Thought I'd post everything that's happened since we became pregnant!
September 20
I felt my period was late, so I took my first at-home pregnancy test but it was negative.
September 20-October 14
Still no period.
October 15
Took my second pregnancy test and it was positive!
October 16
Visited a local walk-in clinic for a prenancy test and confirmed the pregnancy.
November 3
Had my first prenatal visit at the clinic.
November 5
First ultrasound! I couldn't stop my giggling when I saw the baby, I was so filled with joy! Hubby was pretty excited too :)
November 9
Switched from over-the-counter prenatal vitamins to prescription Pregvit vitamins. Doctor called to tell me I was 10 weeks and 1 day pregnant.
November 11
Had blood taken at lab.
November 12
Quick prenatal visit to doctor to discuss ultrasound. Everything looked good.
November 18
Second prenatal visit. As of the 18th I was 11 weeks and 3 days pregnant. Blood work came back fine. Gained 2 pounds since last prenatal visit on 13th.
That's it! So now I've got to work on announcements for family and friends. I was waiting until I was 12 weeks and had an ultrasound picture to send out.
I'm not too good at posting regularly, but I'll try to start keeping up with it!

An Introduction
I thought this would be a good way for me to keep friends and family updated on me, my family, and my pregnancy, since I'm so bad at keeping in touch :(
My name is Cami and I'm 38 years old. I've been married to my husband Andrew for almost 4 years (February 11) and I live in London, Ontario, Canada. My husband is an engineer and currently writes software and does coding and all that technical stuff. He also is writing an app for the iPhone with some of his co-workers.
I'm a homemaker and though we could use a second income, we're managing. It's been hard finding a job, being new to Canada and not having any recent work experience. Maybe I'll try looking again in a few years. I'm getting older and would love to have a few more children, so working might have to be put on hold until we're done having children. We'll see :)
Hubby and I decided to go ahead and start a family just a few months ago. I was worried that my age would make conception difficult, but it didn't take long! Within days of stopping all birth control, we were pregnant! We didn't even have to try much (my husband would have preferred more attempts!) but either way, I'm happy that I'm still quite fertile :) I hope that lasts into the next few years so we can try to have another child, maybe two more. Maybe more!
I have a 17 year old son who currently lives away from home with some friends. He comes by every few weeks to visit, have dinner, or do laundry. I miss him terribly but I'm doing fine with not having him here. He is very excited about having a baby brother or sister soon!
So there is a bit about me, my family, and why I started this blog. I'll try to keep this updated daily with what's going on with me and everyone involved with this pregnancy. :)
