Baby Harker #3

We are so excited to announce that Baby Harker #3 is coming March 2015

12 Week Updated- I have to say that I am very blessed when it comes to my pregnancies. I think I have easy pregnancies compared to other moms. My first tri-mester has gone really well. At 5-8 weeks, when I woke up in the mornings I had to eat right away other wise I felt slit nausea, but I was able to keep in under control. I just learned to wake up and eat a piece of fruit before any thing else. Other wise I felt great the rest of the day... I have felt tired till 12.5 weeks, early to bed for me most nights, Now the tiredness is gone, yay! 

The heat has been the killer for this pregnancy. When I think it can’t get any hotter, it gets hotter. I get hot flashes like when you have the flu. I was pregnant in the summer with Lacey but the Southern Alberta summer heat never bothered me, the Caribbean heat does. So we hit the pool, beach way more often  then normal and drink lots of ice water. 

Lincoln seems pretty excited that mom has a baby in your tummy. Here's a few of Lincoln's words:

 "It would be nice to have two sisters (Lacey and new baby)... or a brother and a sister. But I think I want a brother." "Did you eat the baby?" "When I was in your stomach, did i kick you? did it hurt?"

Lacey seems excited to when we are talking about it, as she loves her babies (dolls). I sometimes wonder how much Lacey understands... randomly through out the day she will point at me and say "baby".

First appointment… Well it hasn't happened yet. We have tried to go to see a doctor... three times! You don't make doctors appointments here like back home, it's all walk-in. So we have headed to the doctors office three times, when they are suppose to be open. When we are rice the door is locked with the CLOSED sign up. With a sign saying they had to closed early, sorry for the inconvenience. It drives me nuts. Josh has talked to the doctor who works through the University and she said the is is normal with how doctor operate on the island. Are you serious! I miss the health care system back home and my doctors. I know it doesn't seem like they do a whole lot at each 4 week check up. I can't wait to be back in Canada to have good access to good doctors. 3 months! I will be home at 25 weeks. So I am doing some asking around to see if there is a different doctor I could visit. I'm glad I have good pregnancy and feel great or i would be heading home early.

At 12 weeks, I have been enjoying oranges the last few nights for a snack, just like when I was pregnant with Lincoln, maybe it's a boy cause this is the same craving. Who knows.  I haven't been craving any thing else, it's more that I don't feel like things, it all depends on the moment.
