Still here

Well what can I say I'm still here, still pregnant and very much uncomfortable! I have no ankles anymore at all....period, they are just gone lol.  My feet seriously look like Flintstone feet, and not Wilma's either, I am talking full on Fred here...big and square and huge!

Other than that I'm ok. Nothing new at the Dr so no news is good news, althoug I do start my 1 week visits now. I have 2 more weeks of work so the countdown has begun and we still haven't decided on a name haha.

This weekend is a long weekend and I am looking forward to my 4 days off! YIPPEE! I sure need them! I also get to go and have my hair colored tomorrow yay!!! I need that too!

Here's to hoping this weekend is relaxing. It's supposed to be HOT like 26 or 27 celcius so thankfully I bought a pair of maternity shorts just in case hot weather came before the baby lol.

Anyway, just thought I'd say I'm still here. ;) Have a great weekend!

Just 2 quick pictures :)

So I was fixing up some of the baby shower pictures and thought I would share the 2 I have so far.

Here is me, notice the big belly that is pushing/squishing other things...ahem upwards lol, especially in the middle of the top of the tummy. That's where her little b.u.m. is I think. I sooooo have no more room, I told you so! This was back about 3 weeks ago too! I will try and get a nice one of me tomorrow either by myself or DH.

 

And here's one of Kelsey and I. She's growing sooooo fast!

 

I used come actions I got for free (yes free and they rock!) from Phaunt Actions! The ones I used on these was the "Softy Bleachy" and I think I found my new fav photo action!!!

Ok I am hoping to post more pictures tomorrow, I need to take pics of the nursery bedding I got, the pictures on the website and catalog just don't do it justice...I am IN LOVE! I am so happy I got that one and oh...guess what's making it's way to my doorstep via good old fashioned ebay? This GORGEOUS diaper bag! I can't wait for it to arrive!

Ok so that was 3 pictures not 2 oh well. ;) See ya soon!

Just a quick post

SO thing are super busy round here today and all this weekend really. Right now we are under a blizzard warning and have already gotten at least 20 cm of snow with another 10 - 30 expected....yeah....nice! The firepit is completely buried in the back yard and well it's just not very nice given that it's almost the end April for goodness sake! I mean 1 week ago it was 27 degrees celcius and just utterly gorgeous weather!!! Now it's -18 with the windchill!!! UGH! Hopefully this is the last blast so to speak!

 

At least we made it to Calgary for our 3D ultrasound on Thursday before the storm came on Saturday so we got some great stuff done. First off we went to Babies R Us and bought a playpen, it's really nice and we got a great deal! Here it is:

Pretty huh?

 

And I thought I'd show you the swing that the In Laws got us

Very cute! Both of these are all set up and ready to go!! YIPPEE!!!!!

Oh and my bedding set came in and it is wayyy more gorgeous in person I am so in love with it!

 

Now on to the best part of the post! ;) Baby was literally jumping around in there and snuggled up close to the placenta again like last time so we really did have a hard time getting many great pics but we did get to see her and that's all that counts! So here is her sweet little face!

Can you believe it?! It's just soooo cool what they can do...I can't believe we get to see her little face before she's born!!!! And as of today I'm 34 weeks...only 6 weeks to go! WOW!

 

Well I have got to run soooo much to do before the week starts, laundry, cleaning, supper, homework and on and on. Poor DH is out there trying to shovel the snow right now...chili for dinner should help warm him up. ;)

On Our Way

No not to the hospital lol, but for our second 3D ultrasound tomorrow, YIPPEE!!! I can't wait to see this little girl. From what we saw in their books last time we were there at this stage in the pregnancy they look very similar to pictures that were taken of them after they are born so that will be sooo cool to see her little face early!

Of course it's a 6 hour round trip drive but hey it's so worth it. While we are there we will also make quick pit stops at Thyme Maternity and Toys R Us. I think we'll buy a playard tomorrow, with the new puppy we think it will be necessary to have somewhere to put her down (other than her crib) where she can't get accidentally licked to death or sat on lol.

Oh and can I tell you how sweet my hubby is?! We had a family shower that his parents put on for us this past weekend (more details and pictures to come) and he bought me the comforter set I had been eyeing...it should be here in a few days I think. I was so surprised! What a sweetie! ;) We also got lots of cute clothes and stuffies and even a swing! So it was a great day! Like I said I'll post pics and stuff later.

Ok off to pack up DVDs, games, snacks, etc for the drive tomorrow. :)

It's getting to be uncomfy round here lol

Oh my, I think I have run out of room in my belly, haha! I am down to only a finger's width left between me and the steering wheel...guess that means I will either have to buy some serious platform shoes or become a hermit! ACK! With short legs and a huge belly that's what happens heehee. And now the dietician I have to see keeps telling me to eat more!?! UGH! I am TRYING, lol...I am seriously tired of eating for now. And can I tell you how hard yoga is with short legs and a big belly? Last class I was doing a pose and holding on to the chair to save my life or else I would fall over! The instructor came over and said yeah that's clearly not good with short legs, try it this way. ROFL I was close to going down like the titanic! Ahhhh, it will all be worth it though in just a few short months, less than 2  already. :)

We have another 3D ultrasound booked for next Thursday, yay I can't wait! (Although I am not exactly looking forward to another 6 hour trip.) Not only do I get to have more new pics of this little soccer player/wrestler in here (she is seriously beating me up daily!) but I can do some shopping at Babies R Us too and Thyme Maternity, yay! I can't wait! I really hope we can see her more clearly than last time, I want to see her sweet little face again!

I got another layout done, I am not super duper happy with it but I think it's sweet and certainly didn't want to trash it...of course it's of the little sweetie that's turning me black and blue on the inside heehee so how could I not love it?! Credits can be seen here.

And just for my dad who keep bugging me lol, here is me on Easter...I have grown already since then too!  As you can tell I am not really a fan of pictures of myself. (Plus I think I need to educate DH on the most "flattering" ahem of angles lol.) ;)

Well I guess that's it for now. Wish me luck shopping for platform shoes! ;)

So busy

Well what can I say but life is busy for us right now. Prenatal classes are almost over (yay) and I just started prenatal yoga since our stupid hospital doesn't give epidurals GRRRRRRRRR!!! I am hoping it will help with the pain but I am now thinking I should have started earlier in my pregnancy.

Yoga really is hard work wow, but what I like is it's hard work combined with some nice relaxation so it seems worthwhile to get to the end where you relax, lol.

The furniture is all set up, woo hoo and I can't wait to start decorating. I am still trying to decide on a bedding set (which seem to be hard to come by for some stupid reason).

 

In other news, we got a puppy. Yes I know....why? Well because HAHAHAHA!!! She really is a freaky ugly little thing, she always has a surprised look on her face and her tongue is always sticking out but hey she needed us and we couldn't help but take her. ;) Here is our new 5 month old Pug to add to our family named Roxy (PS - she actually photographs well, so imagine her a little uglier and funnier looking than the picture...think more of a gremlin ROFL!!!)

She really is a LOT of work, I have forgotten what it's like to not have a pug couch potato like our 4 year old pug Nelly. She is slowly getting into the swing of things and the girls are FINALLY warming up to eachother (although I am sure Nelly would still rather be an only dog at this stage of Roxy's puppyhood heehee.) She is definitely growing on us and now I actually find myself telling her she's cute. ;)

 

So all is well but definitely busy around here with getting ready for baby and trying to train a new puppy and of course Kelsey and all of her stuff too. Hope everyone is doing well!

Yay the furniture has arrived!

 

I am so excited we got our nursery furniture last night! YIPPEE!!! We ordered the Lennox Storkcraft line and go it in cherry, wanna see?

Don't mind the slightly different colors these pictures are all I could find on the internet.

I am SOOOOO excited! The next purchase will be the swing and the bedding set. For the bedding I am having a heck of a time finding anything girly. But I really like this one from Sears called Lady Bug so I think that will be the one. (Once I saw this I really wanted a black crib but couldn't find one anywhere, I hope this will look nice with cherry colored wood.)

Also the swing I am thinking about is the Starlight Papasan or the Butterfly Papasan but I can't find the Butterfly one again, they must be sold out for now. But here's a picture of the starlight one

That's pretty much all for the big stuff. Of course I have been buying clothing and blankets and stuff every weekend...I can't seem to go home without at least one outfit. Heehee. But she's starting out with nothing so she has to have clothes...right? ;)

Well I just had to share my new stuff, it makes me so happy to know we have it and I can't wait to get it all set up and have her room all done! (I am sure that will still be a while though.)

Hope everyone is doing well!
