11 Days ....

No photo today but thought I should at least put up an update. Not much to report really, Doc says baby will prob be around 7 lbs at delivery a nice healthy weight. I'm feeling tired and ready to get this show on the road. Still have some minor tweeking to do to baby room, all the wall decor is up, just working on the closet. Peter is crafting some inserts to narrow the closet opening cause it's 42" inchs and you can't get closet doors that are 42". So big thanks to Peter for that! Family starts to arrive end of next week from the island and I'm sure everyone is as anxious as we are.


Also I'm sure everyone is wondering about Baby names. Well we still don't know, but when we do, we won't be sharing until baby is born. Sorry guys.


Dave has been busy doing the yard, and is now taking on refinishing the front deck. Today is day two of pressure washing it and he's not half way done yet. I'm excited to get that deck a new colour, I can't stand the burgundy or whatever it is now.....gonna go for a nice dark natural look.


I've been busy cleaning odd things, base boards, windowsills, cupboard doors, doors.....stopped crocheting about two days ago. Just not feeling it right now, also had a blanket project started and ran out of yarn.


Thats all there is as of today!

37 Weeks! 3 weeks to go.

My weekly update says " This week, your baby is busy shedding his downy coating of fine hair (called lanugo) and his coat of vernix caseosa -- the cheesy substance that protects his developing skin. Your baby swallows both of these secretions, which stay in the bowels until birth. Then your baby will excrete a blackish waste called meconium that becomes his first bowel movement. Meanwhile, you may be feeling huge -- and increasingly impatient."


Totally feeling like this baby could come anytime and I wouldn't mind. Have some fine tuning to do in the baby room, closet rod, some shelves and hooks and then we're all set! Just  need to load up on more diapers. Think I might order this for the first week, seems like a good deal and offers two sizes in case it's a big baby! http://well.ca/products/pampers-swaddlers-welcome-pack_50519.html

Otherwise I'm just trying to kill time. Dave has been an amazing support by keeping up with house and yard work and getting me things when I don't feel like getting up, which is most of the time. We've also brought inside one of the zero gravity chairs which is amazing when my back hurts, totally takes the pressure of my back and ribs. I've been crocheting for us, Lindsay and some other people who have babies on the way, so that's kinda fun. Have hemmed curtains, made a crib sheet and a crib skirt. Loving having  sewing machine! So does Dave cause I can fix all his stuff.


Anyways, Doctors appointment today, and I'm sure he'll say what he always does "Wow your blood pressure is low! Oh wait it's always like that so it's normal" ha it's so funny, he totally doesn't know who I am. Last appointment I was up 14 lbs which was two weeks ago so we'll see what today says.

35 Weeks and back from the island

After a wonderful 2 weeks visit to the island, Dave and I are back home. I've been busy sewing and Daves been workin on the yard. The weather has been beautiful although a bit windy. Tomorrow (May 19th) makes it 1 month until babies due date! I'm hoping for an earlier arrival............we'll see!

33 Weeks

Well everyone knows we just take things as they come and everything works out in the end. So we are on the island for a few weeks for a much needed break, and loving every minute of it. Thanks to Tara an Dwayne and their roomy Rob for putting us up and putting up with us. And to Nikki and Pat for Taking our sweet super hairy Bailey girl, an John and Triston for taking our fat, farty Freddy.


Here's you bump pic! 7 weeks to go......

31 Weeks

31 down 9 to go.


Phew! I'm getting tired on being big. The aches and pains get worse everyday. Mostly in the evening.
This week (and next) we are baby sitting Stella, our friend Nikki and Pat's little girl. It's great practice for me, and fun because everyday we are doing something fun and new. Yesterday was swimming (I just watched) and Squirrel Park, today was Strong Start and Play park. And everyday will be filled with Dora in between.


Otherwise, I am enjoying my time off work, getting lots done around the house. Here's your bump pic!

Painting Furniture

Today Dave fixed the rocking chair and we painted it. I painted the drawers for the dresser and the trim around the front door. But more importantly, I got my fishing license today!! Here's hoping tomorrow will  be nicer than today and we can hit the river for my first unsuccessful cast of the year!! So excited.
