Things are heating up, but I think it's just me! We are finally experiencing some summer weather, but with that comes the humidity which does not agree with Fawn or I! On Sunday I felt like I was dying of heat exhaustion! I think I just about drank my weight in water and ended up going to the beach two seperate times just to get cooled off, all the while Matt kept telling me "it's not that warm". It will be nice come cooler weather to have a built in furnace, but for now it would be nice if she would change over to some A/C!
In addition to stealing my memory, Fawn now seems to be working on stealing my eye-sight! I thought I was just a little blurry eyed yesterday morning due to having to go back to work after vacation, but it continued off and on throughout the day and on to today as well. I've already had to get glasses for reading and computer work, next she'll have me in coke-bottle glasses! On the bright side, from what I've read, this should go away after she makes her appearance on the outside!
In other news, we're still debating going for the 3D ultrasound to find out forsure that Fawn is a little girl, and I'm now leaning towards doing it because I had a dream that she came out a he last night! The only issue is that we have to make plans to go out of town for it and try to book a weekend appointment so Matt doesn't have to take time off to come too.

A Basketball!?!
I was just reading my 'What to Expect' bible and noticed that it said my uterus will be the size of a basketball in the next couple of weeks!!! No wonder nothing fits!
I had planned on taking pictures of my growing belly, and started at week 12...and then continued to week 14. I swear, I have no memory left!
I'm going to write up a post about our camping trip (a first for both Toby & Fawn!), but in the meantime, here is a pic of my progressing belly (I should note, it gets bigger throughout the day, and this was first thing before breakfast)!
What a difference 10 weeks can make! I think the only reason this picture got taken was because we were talking about making this camping trip a yearly occasion and I thought it would be neat to take a pic with Fawn in front of the tent each year, so this is her first one!

Note to self:
Do NOT sit in a car for hours on end without even stopping for the odd stretch!
Just a quick note to remind myself not to agree to ridiculous things! Thursday I was asked to go to Windsor for a meeting at the University the following day, of course, being unable to say no to things, I said SURE! So, Thursday after work I waited until Matt got home from work so I could say bye, and then I packed up my rental car and headed to Chatham (3hr drive). I arrived at a disgusting hotel and had to prepare a powerpoint presentation and then tried to sleep without thinking about the bugs in my room! Friday morning I got up and met with another Coordinator and we drove to Tecumseh (1hr drive) to pick up someone else and then we were on our way to Windsor (another 45min). We did the presentation/meeting and were back on the road by 11:30...and then I got home at 5! So I was in the car for a total of 7 hours and 15 minutes during the day Friday for those of you keeping track! Thinking that wasn't enough, Matt and I decided to go to Owen Sound to pick up a rocker/glider for Fawns room, so that was another 2 hours total.
Okay, so the point of this story...when we got home I noticed that I was lacking ankles! I was SO puffed up it was ridiculous!!! I actually noticed when we were at the mall and being the great hubby that Matt is he let me sit and when and got the car for me. So I spent Friday night with my feet in the air and icepacks on my legs! I think it was mainly the lack of movement and sitting for soooo long in one place, but it could also have had something to do with the lack of water I drank that day! I had a bit, but I was afraid that I would have to stop for a million pee breaks all the way home!
So ya, a note to self...don't do that again!
(I am pleased to report, my ankles are back now though!)

Fawn the Fish
Fawn is moving around right now, I think she is asking me to update her blog...
Last night we went for a swim in the lake and it was SOOOOOO nice! I didn't even have to ease in, I just walked in and tried to float on my noodle...which doesn't seem to want to hold both Fawn and I up! I could have stayed in the water all night it was so nice, also a nice break from the stickyness that was hanging in the air! I think Fawn loves to swim already, I can feel her doing little movements while I pretent to be a beached whale on a noodle!
When we got home we had to hose the sand off Toby and I asked Matt to hose me down too...I had worn a t-shirt in the water to hide my big white belly (not because of the bigness, but because of the lack of tanness!) and lifted it up to get the sand out and Fawn did NOT like that cold water! lol I think she did a flip inside me!
Fawn's new stroller arrived on Monday - very exciting! I had to order it online from Target and have it shipped to Auntie Bev's sisters house in Michigan, and then Auntie Bev suprised me Monday by going and getting it for me to save us the trip! :) Krista and Shawn gave us the one they had for Jordan which is great, but I kick the basket underneath because of my height I guess, which could get quite annoying on long walks. So that stroller is going to go to my parents house so we don't have to lug the stroller there everytime we visit and the new one will stay at our house. I love it! I can't wait to get Fawn in it!
I have ordered a print off Etsy for her room, and we are going to pick up a glider in Owen Sound on Friday after work - it's all coming together! :)
EDIT: Here is the print we picked...http://tinyurl.com/law895 - I love that the U is "Unknown"

Just a quick note to say I made some changes to the blog - pretty eh! However, I don't think some of the features are working just yet...hopefully I can get that figured out soon!
Also, just wanted to note that Fawn seems to LOVE Jack Johnson! I'm going to look for the Curious George soundtrack today while we are in the city to use as her bedtime music (most of it).

Update!
Oops, I've fallen way behind again!
I've been feeling lots of little movements here and there lately, mainly really low or off to the side. She isn't strong enough just yet though to feel her on the outside. Fawn can hear us now so we've started reading her a bedtime story, I've got a few, but any suggestions for favorite books will be welcome (unless you are Laura and you are suggesting Twilight so she will become a Robert Pattison fan...that isn't welcome! lol). In the recent weekly update I got we also learned that she is practicing her facial expressions - it's so funny to think of her in there making faces! I can' t wait to see what she looks like! The update also told us that she is 27cm from the top of her head to her little toes (which have developed nails!)!
I had another midwife appointment this past Monday. Again Matt was unable to come (it sucks that they can't accomodate his schedule!), so my Mum (Gramma) came. We got to have a listen to Fawn again, and her heart beat has slowed down quite a bit (to a normal, more "mature" range), she is no longer a humingbird at only 150 bpm. As soon as I layed down I could feel her move and it was so neat to be able to hear her moving at the same time as feeling it! Whitney (our midwife) said everything is going great and we are right on track! I was measuring almost 22 weeks, but I was only 21 weeks, but she said that is normal and they will "accept" up to 23 weeks as normal. She also had the complete results from my ultrasound and said everything is great - they got good shots of everything (4-chamber heart, liver, bladder, stomach, spine, palate, cord, placenta....).
Fawn's little home is expanding quite a bit to make room for her in there - my belly button is even more shallow now! Luckily no streatch marks yet! :)
I've posted a couple pics from Kristen's wedding on the 18th so you can see my growing bump!
That's all for now! :)

Movement
I've been thinking I'm feeling little Fawn move for a week or so, but today sitting at my desk I definitely felt something! I tried to explain it to Laura, but I don't really know how to put it into words. It felt like she must have turned over or flipped in some way - it wasn't a kick or anything, just some definite movement!
Also, last night I noticed that my belly button seems to be getting shallower!
The BabyCentre updates that I get every week by email say that this week is the half-way point (19 weeks), but I was thinking 20 weeks would be. Either way, we are getting closer!
