I am apparently horrible at blogging - between journaling to the baby, updating Facebook, filming/editing/putting up videos, and trying to update my 3 blogs, all while caring for a crazy 19 month old and a growing belly, my days are long and busy!! I am 19 weeks 1 day today, and let me just say, it's been a great week <3 One think I've been loving this week is a new photo editing app, PicLab, where these beautiful babies were made: And waiting in anxious anticipation for our anatomy scan, which was on Wednesday, March 25th. The things I felt most while waiting for this scan have been: 1) I can't believe it's here already, I remember beginning to plan the gender reveal and putting in the requisition for the scan, and now it's here! I feel like my entire pregnancy (and even before) I have been waiting for this stage of pregnancy, 17 weeks and beyond, where I begin to feel movement, my fiance could feel movement, we see the baby (so much bigger than at o...

Hi, and welcome to the Married Doula! I am severely, SEVERELY behind. I need to get my butt in gear, but financial things and just too darn lazy (pregnant) are always getting in the way. On the bright side, I do have the most amazing bridesmaid/maid of honour (if my mom counts as more of an "honourary maid of honour", as my fiance's sister will actually be doing most of the work!) to kick my butt to get going, like take me to a local bridal expo this weekend! I was 14 weeks 3 days, so of course I needed to take a few photos of my outfit for the "big" day... And we were off! I managed to get away for the while day, sans-toddler (that never happens), and we got to walk around and see all the different booths and companies offering things for your wedding. It was so nice to have a day to just be excited and get some ideas for how I want the day to look and those little details you don't often think of. For the most part, we will being doing everything (decor, f...

Hello, and Welcome to the Pregnant Doula - I can't believe I haven't updated since before 13 weeks! I'm 14 weeks 5 days today, and am getting closer to showing and feeling Baby Bug move all the time, I'm so excited! First of all, I did put up at 14 Week update on my Youtube channel, The Pregnant Doula. This has been the best week yet, I felt movement  and got a video of the heartbeat at our midwife appointment that day which is at the end of the update. I think I'm getting much more confident in front of the camera and as of today I have 22  Subscribers, 765  Views, and 1,585 Estimated Minutes Watched - Wow! Here's the link to  14 Weeks Pregnant While Nursing ~ HEARTBEAT & Belly Shot {The Pregnant Doula} :  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_VyEeU7I0s I also put out an  18 Month Toddler Update ~ Roo! {The Pregnant Doula} Part 1 & 2  on my channel, here's the link :  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FN1ZEDVp9Bw This Week in My Pregn...

Hello, and welcome to the Married Doula! I am a MAJOR PROCRASTINATOR, I need help! My count down tickers informed me today, we have exactly FOUR MONTHS until our wedding day! What?! So, I've basically done nothing. And by nothing, I mean add a million things to my pintrest board, but haven't ordered a single thing (though we did print out Save the Dates - they're in a drawer in my kitchen right now - we printed them a month ago!). I also haven't really blogged about it, so I figured I'd get this post down today. My Wedding Inspiration Location We are a "redneck" couple - not so much in practice, we do have indoor plumbing and all of our teeth, but as a hobby. My fiance has built up his big, lifted, shortened short box 1975 Dodge since 2011, when it was handed down to him from his father, who was given it by his  father (my fiance, H's, grandfather). We're also an outdoor couple, long before we were dating we would hike up mountains or climb trees a...

Just a quick update - I am now 2 days away from being in the second trimester!! Yay!! I finally took my 12 week photo, and so, I had to make a first trimester collage. I was very surprised to see, my belly had actually changed significantly this week. My abdomen seems to be thicker and rotated to give a heavier, fuller look. I suppose my uterus is officially making it's way out of the pelvis and into my abdomen, just under my belly button! I am 13 weeks on Thursday, just in time for Valentine's Day on Saturday! Our little Love Bug will be "out of the woods", so-to-speak for the day of love, how fitting!  My next appointment is the following Thursday, at 14 weeks exactly. I'm very excited to hear the heartbeat again.  That's all for now. Oh, I also got some amazing ginger snap cookies (my craving), so I'm walking on air tonight (the sugar may be why I'm up at 11pm blogging, though ;) ).  Love & happy gestating, ~The Pregnant D...
