Baby Bump :-)

My Baby bump AT 5 months

Taken at last Ultasound, not that clear cause my scanner is broken.

Dr. Appointment update

Just wanted to let you all know that the Dr. Appointment went well, the baby’s heart Rate was at 160bpm again today. I received the results from the triple screening test and it came back fine.

The results from the Ultrasound that I had on the 14th were good as well except that my placenta is low which mean I may have to have a c-section, we will find out for sure in 6 weeks at the next ultrasound. As for the baby’s heart, the Dr. does not see any cause for concern right now and due to the baby’s heart rate being so strong he is sure the heart is fine, they will also be checking it out at the next ultrasound.

So that is all our news for now, I will keep you updated as we go.
Take Care

Ultrasound :-)

Hey Everyone,

Just wanted to let you all know that our ultrasound today went well, although baby Crocker was a little stubborn like daddy (decided nap time came first) & wouldn’t let the tech get all the proper measurements of the heart and a few other things, we did manage to get a heart rate measurement which was 160 bpm. So we are back for another ultrasound in a few weeks. Other than that all is going well and baby is moving around more and more all the time.

We have a Dr. appointment on the 16th so I will be back with another update then

Take care

Just a blog

Hey Everyone,

Just wanted to post a blog since I haven’t done so in awhile. Not a lot has happened in the last few weeks, Buster is Recovering fine from surgery and I think that his leg feels much better now.

This month has been a month of Birthdays. Moms was the 7th, Aunt Cathy’s the 9th, Rodney had his Yesterday on the 23rd, Andrews is on the 29th and Last but not least Samantha’s is on the 31st. So Happy Birthday to all of you and I hope you all had/have a Great one!

Rodney ended up working for most of his Birthday, but we went out to celebrate it last sat to a Restaurant Called Gulliver’s we had a very nice supper.

I have a Dr Appointment tomorrow, so I will be back to blog about that.

Till then Take Care

Love Janis

Well our little buster, will be going in for surgery next Tuesday to have his hip fixed. Hopefully all will go well.
As for Rodney & I, everything is going very well, Rodney is enjoying work and I have started at my job, and I also am enjoying getting out of the house for a bit, it’s nice to meet new people. Our next Dr. Appointment for baby Crocker Is on Jan 25th and the next Ultrasound is on Fed 14th I will keep you all posted.
Pop Critch is doing well after his appointments with the heart Dr’s in St.Johns, He had a blockage in his heart but the put a stint in and now he is feeling like new, like Mark puts it “He just needed some new hardware and a bit of Drano ….lol”.

Happy New Year !

Happy New Year Everyone!! Hope you all had a great one! And Hope you all also had a wonderful Christmas. Rodney and I had a Great Christmas & New year; we enjoyed our holidays very much.

We had another Ultrasound on the 30th of Dec and everything is still fine, the baby is about 3 -4 ounces & 71/2 cm long. The due date is now the 2nd of July so I am a week ahead (now 14 weeks 2 days) of what we thought I was so that is good news. We should get some ultrasound photos soon & I will post them as soon as I get them

Rodney now has a new guitar, so soon we will be hearing sweet music…and he is back to work on Thursday…poor baby. We are planning on going to the movies Friday night so is any of you have ideas on what good movies are playing, let us know.

lets try this again !!!!

Well Lets Try this Again…. I just finished a huge blog then the dam thing got deleted…so here we go again although this one will not be as long…

Just wanted to post a few photos taken in the last little while and give a bit of an update,
The first is of bonnie & Clyde’s new home, we went to Winnipeg last Saturday and came back with a 90 gal tank, bonnie & Clyde just love it…I know we are crazy…


Next is one of Aunt Barbara and Uncle Ron, for those who do not know Aunt Barbara is My Nan Critches Sister who lives out in Brandon, It is great to have family close by and as a added bonus she makes a wicked tasting banana bread & a great newfie dinner…lol This photo was taken when they were in for a visit a few nights ago.


Last is “the bird” this is a ornament that has sat on the top of my Nan Critches tree longer then I have been in this world. When Rodney & I moved away from home we started a tradition that the ornaments on our tree would all be ones given to us and that have very special meaning, so to get us started before we left I went to everyone’s house to collected a special ornament and to get “the story” that went with it. This year Rodney and I notice that we didn’t have one from Nan Critches tree (because when we moved Nan had given us a bunch that are now used for our tree down stairs) So I called nan and asked for “The Bird” I figured I wouldn’t stand a chance but I had to try, I was happy when Nan passed it on to us with out even hesitating. The Bird was brought by Nan’s Dad for her Mom years & years ago, Nan figures it is over 70 years old. So I thank you Nan for passing something so special on to us and it will sit proudly at the top of our tree for years and years to come.
