The Story Continues......

*this is about week 6 or 7*

Alright, so, August was tough. I was nauseous 24/7. However, I also ate everything in sight and gained an impressive 17 lbs in about 3 weeks, it was nice to have carbs back in my life.

I also turned 25 in August, definitely different from the last decade or so of birthdays haha. Your dad and I had a sleepover under the stars and there were so many shooting stars. It was one of the nicest nights out ever and this is what I woke up to in the morning:

Around the end of the month I got an opportunity to go with your dad to the doctors and we got to hear your heart beat. At 9 weeks, thats pretty special. I was so happy to hear your little heart beating away IN me. Its a very weird and wonderful feeling. A week later I got to have a dating ultrasound and see your tiny self. You had arms and legs and jumped around having what looked like, frankly, little seizures. But beautiful seizures tiny Spike <3 Here you are:

September

So, after our nice trip up the lake I went back to work but that didn't last long. They weren't too excited that I was pregnant and planning on leaving to move up to Powell River. I took the time to go spend with your dad up in the Riv. We got a chance to head out fishing:

However it wasn't all sunshine and smiles. Long story short we decided we weren't right for each other. I was full of those wonderful pregnancy horomones and I think that he was a little scared, you're going to be the biggest responsibility we've ever faced. And it can be a little daunting. All I know is that I tried my hardest to make it work. I have always wanted to have a perfect nuclear family, it was one of the most important things that I wanted to get out of life. However, I think that I will do just fine on my own and I will always do everything in my power to make you the most happiest little elephanty in the world

*this is probably 10 weeks, around the time of the ultrasound*
