I just wanted to let you all know that I have begun a new website. I will still be updating this one more frequently, but I will be adding pictures to the other site - which I usually don't do here.
I figured that I might as well start a secure site for once the baby is born. I will be posting belly pictures on that site, as well as our new arrival, when he/she does arrive.
I am just not a huge fan of posting baby pictures online without security settings.. and it's not like facebook here on blogspot - you can't put security on your photos... so the entire world can see them if they wish!!
Anyway, you will have to log in to see my new site, as I have an "allow list". If you want to look at belly/baby pictures, just email me (lori249@hotmail.com), send me a message on facebook, JM, or on MSN, or simply just "comment" on this message (below) and I will gladly give you "permission"!! I am not trying to be mean here, i just want to be safe.
If you have this address - I gave it to you - so I would LOVE for you to have the other address as well! :)
Once I set you up to see the pictures, the address is:

PS - Went for Scott Skins with Jennie today - they were SOOOOOO GOOD!
Our Little Boy is HERE!!!!

14 weeks... and counting!
Well, today marks 14 weeks pregnant! That means only 26 more to go!! It is crazy to think about... Nothing much new is happening.. I have been asked a lot lately for some belly pictures, so I will have to put some up somewhere... The big appointment is Monday, I will have more of an update then! I will update my 14 week fetus report, too.

T - minus 6 days!!
Well, in one week from today, I get to hear this precious little baby's heartbeat!
I can't WAIT!! I am so excited... very nervous as well, but trying to have faith that everything will be just fine.
BJ left today for Victoria... he is only gone until Friday - so at least he's not gone for a long time - but it still sucks. Luckily he will be home in time to go to my doctors appointment with me (as usual).. so he can hear his/her little heartbeat as well.
I can't believe how fast that 3 weeks went.. just think - my last doctors appointment, nobody knew that I was pregnant! That is CRAZY!!
I am ready to tell everyone at work now.. I am just waiting for the right time.. I need to, of course, tell the principal first.. but it is getting very difficult for me to hide my belly at this point - so I figure I better start telling before people find out.

Second Trimester!!
YAY!! I am officially in the second trimester!!
I can't believe how fast this pregnancy is going - to think that I only have two more trimesters left, that are the same length as this one - is just amazing to me!
Well, I am on my way to the 4th month, and my clothes are getting tighter - for SURE! I think I am down to like 4 pair of pants that I could wear pre-pregnancy! And for those of you who know me - I am used to more than 4 pairs of pants! I am ready to go shopping now - before I was a little too nervous that something would happen. And although I'm still nervous - I am just happy that things are going well so far!
I will update my 13 week fetal development on the right!

Finally
EVERYBODY KNOWS!!!
Which is great! It is such a weight lifted off my shoulders... I have put pregnancy stuff on facebook, and I'll tell ya, THAT is a way to spread news quickly!
Everyone was very happy for us, as we knew they would be. We are lucky to be blessed with such great family and friends. We are really enjoying our march break, having a relaxing time and trying to spread ourselves between Glace Bay and Sydney Mines!
So, now there are a few more people reading this blog!! We are so glad to share this journey with all our family and friends!
Keep those prayers coming that everything will still be ok!!
I am 12 weeks today!! So I will put in my 12 week updates! :D Some people count 12 weeks as the second trimester, but I consider it 13 weeks, seeing as that is 1/3 of the way through the pregnancy... April 1st is my next "big date" - we get to hear the baby's heartbeat!

The week of announcements begin
Well, we told my parents, and of course, they were estatic!
We also told my two brothers tonight and some close friends and family (including Jennie - so now I can FINALLY talk to her without worrying about "slipping up")
We will be telling BJ's parents tomorrow, and his brother and Keri. We know they are all going to be happy for us... I am ready for the "announcement" part to be over! haha... I'm afraid it's going on facebook soon.... Just gotta make sure that the O'Brien side knows, all of our grandparents, and a couple more close friends....

Today is the big day!!
Well, I woke up at 5am today, so hungry! haha.. that I had to get out of bed and eat.
Then, I could NOT get back to sleep with the excitement of telling my parents.
I am telling my father with a photo frame that I made for him that says "We love our Nanny and Gramps". It has a picture of Ben in one opening, and then in the other opening it says "Grandbaby #2 - Photo Coming Sept. 30th 2008"
I made my mom a certificate (an idea that I totally stole from one of the JM girls, but I thought it was just toooooooo cute, I'm sure she won't mind). It says "due to your outstanding work as a mother for the last 26 years, you are officially being promoted to Grandmother in the O'Brien household". I am going to get them to open them at the same time - and see who figures it out first!!
I am so excited to tell them, but it's scary to tell people!!! In a weird way, I have gottne used to keeping this secret! Then I will, of course, tell my brothers the next time I see them (and Dawn! I am very excited to tell her!! ) and we will tell BJ's parents on Tuesday.
As if my life could get more exciting??? One of my best friends, told me yesterday that she is pregnant!! I can't BELIEVE we will get to raise our children together! It just makes this pregnancy so much more exciting! Of course, as soon as she told me I "spilled the beans" to her! haha... we were both crying!! It is such a happy time in my life. And not only is it one of my best friends, her AND her husband are such good friends of ours - our babies will only be one month apart - that is just too much to handle! haha.. Now that posting in Sydney is looking pretty good! HAHA.. Can you just imagine?? But I am sooo excited for them, and I am so happy that she is starting this pregnancy with good health and that everything is going to be ok! Who knows, the babies might be born in the same month! I could easily have an October baby, since I am due at the end of the month.
Anyway, Life is pretty good right now. I will update when I tell my parents. 4 hours.

10 week Doctors Appointment! :D
Well, we just got back from our 10 week appointment.
The appointment went well. She always makes me feel so much better about everything. She didn't try to find the heartbeat, So I get to hear the heartbeat at my next appointment in 4 weeks!
They tried to book the "heartbeat appointment" for March 25th, but BJ will be out of town that week, and I really want him to hear the heartbeat with me for the first time, so we booked the appoinement for April 1st. She also is booking my first ultrasound!! Which is VERY exciting!! But that won't take place until the end of April.. but just the booking makes me excited.
She answered all my list (very long list) of questions and when I left she said "I PROMISE PROMISE PROMISE next appointment we will hear your babies beautiful heartbeat"... which of course, had me leaving with a huge smile on my face.The next few weeks are going to go quickly for me I think. At least I hope.
Next week is our march break, so it's a week vacation from work, and then with easter weekend, I will have two short weeks at work, and the following Tuesday is my appointment!! I just hope that she's right and eveyrthing is ok! I still can't wait to hear the babies heartbeat, but I just feel so much better!
