Week 10

(May 13th- May 20th)

Emotional:

My birthday was on May 15th! So I am now 18, an adult. :) I'd been planning my birthday for a few years. See, legal drinking age here in Ontario is 19, but over Quebec, the legal age is 18 so I was planning on heading over to Hull to experience going to a bar for the first time. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately since I wont be wasting any money...), I have firmly decided not to drink at all during my pregnancy and during my breast feeding so by the time I'm allowing myself to drink again, I'll be legal age in Ontario anyways. So anyways, the birthday wasn't what I expected, but it was going ok. My sweetie Chris planned a party for me. I was kind of upset because my mother didn't wish me a happy birthday, didn't get me a present or anything and most disapointingly, didn't allow any kind of party or gathering at all. But I did get a chance to see some of my friends and go out to dinner. Other than that, things have been ok... I'm very busy with school and I'm also trying to spend as much time with Chris as I can. I'm so glad he and I are getting along. (I love you, sweetie!!!)
Another positive: My friend Krissie (who is a wonderful mother to her one and a half year old daughter Lauren) took me with her to a program called "Buns in the Oven". It's a program that she works at and it's for young prengnant women and young moms with babies under 6 months. It's a nutrition program and so we get together and cook nutricious meals. I'm definetely going to keep going back! I met some really nice women, and got to hold and help look after some really cute babies! It was a really exciting experience- thanks Krissie!!! :) :) :)

Physical:

The nausea continues with full force and I'm so exhausted!!! I had to stay home one day from school just because I was too tired to do anything.
I'm not showing yet, but I think soon I will be. I hope so, cause right now I just feel fat, and I'd rather feel pregnant that just feel bloated!
