Hip pain

So I started having great pain in my hip. And boy does it hurt. I have started tai chi and yoga to help with the pain. but I definitely need to start working on my posture now to relieve the back from it. Fortunately I haven't had back pain yet.

Traveling While Pregnant AND THE FIRST KICK

So I just spent 2 and a half days in a cabin on a train as I moved from Ontario to Alberta. It was actually very nice I had my service dog with me so they upgraded me to a nice room so we would be comfortable. The meals were great but unfortunately I really didn't have much of a choice since most of the meal choices weren't pregnancy safe. However they were able to modify some of there meals so they were pregnancy friendly. It was really nice. The people were so friendly and understanding it was pretty good . The last dinner of the trip I was settling down to enjoy some delicious smelling trout, (all the fish I'm allowing myself for the month) when it happened! I felt the first soft kick!! It was soft like something pushing on my lower tummy! It wasn't a flutter that i could dismiss as gas, this was the real thing! A subtle push unmistakable it was my baby letting me know s/he heard me taking about him/her. I was amazed and trying very hard to to cry with excitement in front of everyone. I couldn't help but smile the rest of the day as i felt it a few more time.

Moving while pregnant

So I'm planning on moving to be closer to my mother so she can help me with my first child. I'll be moving by train alone, well with my service dog. I am pretty nervous and will miss my fiance terribly but he will be meeting us there eventually and hopefully before the baby is born, but he has surgery that he needs done before he can go with us. Why train? I have a fear of planes and the stress would not be good for the baby so I'd rather take the 2.5 day train ride over the 8 hour plane ride. Silly I know but all accommodations have been made to make this trip comfortable for my and my service dog.

Belly growth during pregnancy

Im finally really showing my beautiful 26" waist has grown to a lovely 32". Hopefully soon I'll find out the gender too now that I'm in the 16 week mark.
