Just another Post

I am finally putting a dent on my crafts that I have start over the last year or so!!!!

1. My 1st baby blanket is done except for the name and the date of birth to be stitched in and I have the backing bought I just have to sew it on, which will be the hardest part b/c it has to be done by hand because of the edging.

2. The second baby's blanket is complete and and washed
3. I got a bunch of scrapbooking pages done. I think I just have about 20 more to do to get caught up to this yr. Than I have to start the pregnancy/baby scrapbook :S. Not sure if this one will get caught up.

Well besides that we had a great long week. Got a bit down around the house and some baby stuff, hopefully I'll get more done this week and next week. Now I am just getting ready for my friend Laurie who arrives on Thursday for a 5 day visit. Well tom is counting down the days like a mad man and I am trying to tell him that you know the baby more than likely will be late, but it's not sinking in. Anyhow like Tom would say 18 more days to go. Lets hope for less than that rather than more!!!! I think that is up to date for us.

Totally unexpected

Well a few days ago this week Tom called me from work and said that I couldn't do anything on Friday at noon because his 6 co-workers were throughing us a surprise baby shower for us at one of the local Chinese restaurants. It was totally unexpected I must say. I know all his co-workers, a few better than the others, but we both have a feeling it was the only women on their team that put this together. It's a little bit funny because most of the showers I been to or seen have been mostly women and sometimes a few male parties but my was the total opposite. It was all male except me and the one female co-worker. Anyhow it was really nice of them to think of us and our little one on the way.

As the day gets closer I am dreaming of the day that I can just crawl into bed and be comfortable, noticed I didn't say to get some sleep. I think, I have the no sleep part down pat here pretty good. Most nights I am up 8 times during the night and than I finally crawl out of bed at any time between 6:30- 7:15 am because I just can't handle laying there not sleeping anymore. Not sure if most pregnant women go through this too, but I know I am. I know why I can't remember anything anymore these days which people call pregnancy brain too. I don't think it has anything to do with being pregnant per say but more due to the of lack of sleep and not being able to rest comfortably. At least when this baby comes and the recovery of delivery is over I will finally be able to be comfortable!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's the long weekend here for us and I am extremely happy that Tom gets this holiday off because there are a lot of holidays that he doesn't. I am hoping just to relax and straighten a few more things up around the place. I must say yesterday I got some things done but I know now that I did too much because my body started yelling at me last night and today. I think today I'll probably do a little bit less than I have been doing, so I am not out for the count during the whole weekend.

36 wks and hopefully no more than 4 to go!!!!

Can't believe I am finally 36wks now!!! We had our doctors appointment yesterday and everything is looking good. Baby is head down, cervix is really soft and I am still dilated 1cm. She said that there is a chance to go early which I would love b/c of how soft my cervix is but I am not getting my hopes up there because sometimes you can stay in the position I am in for days, weeks etc.... Our next appointment is in two weeks so I guess by than well know more of how things are going.

Well the weather is suppose to get really hot here after the weekend. I am hoping that the new window fans we bought will help cool the place down some, where our air conditions just doesn't seem to do the trick that well. It ends up being hotter in the apartment than the actual outside. ugh.

Next weekend we have our long weekend which will be nice. We don't have any plans at the moment but maybe I can talk tom into going somewheres if I am feeling okay. It will be our last long weekend of just the two of us!!!! My mom got her passport picture done and is sending everything in but she won't talk to me about a time frame that she's thinking of coming down so I don't know if she want to surprise us when she know for sure or she is just getting the passport done so that she has it and doesn't have to be bother with getting one later, since they are good for about 8yrs.


Well I should probably run we have a lot of stuff to do today and I am just a pregnant women beginning to ramble now. Hope everyone in Canada is having a good long weekend.

POTENTIALLY 30 DAYS TO GO!!!!!

Well folks it's been a while since I last wrote. Not much is going on our side of things here. Just a very busy husband at work and a pregnant wife at home. Not long now I guess maybe just 30 days and 30 night to go. That is if I don't go over which most cases first time mom's do. But a few first timers go early too. I would love to be an early mom, like most pregnant women do especially at the end of the road like now. So in 30days we might have many big surprises to say the least. Like is it a boy or a girl, when is the birthday, what is the child's name and of course when will we be able to come home. If everything goes well we'll be home 24hours after birth, which sounds crazy to me and if there is complication I think it's 2-3 days, down here. We have our next doctor's appointment tomorrow, so well see how things are looking than. We are getting more excited each day but not too much b/c we don't want to be let down if we go pass our due date, so in my head I have July 1. That way I know I'll go early if it's July 1 hahaha. It's great when you trick your mind.

Tom's mom will be down for two weeks in July which will be great to have some family down and than I heard that my mom is saying she is getting her passport and there might be talk of her coming down in August for a visit which will be wonderful too. We are still trying to come home for the Christmas/new year holiday this year, so hopefully we'll get to see everyone than too, even though it will probably be a fast trip like always with lots of driving in the winter time ugh. One thing I don't miss about home is driving in the snow, even thought Californians don't know how to drive in rain.

Well I should go and put up my feet for a bit since I got blessed with some swelling just last week in the knuckles and feet. Got to love pregnancy!!!!

Buddha belly Pic's

Well I was messing around with the camera yesterday and they aren't great but it's not easy taking pictures of yourself, hopefully I will get better. So here are some pictures of the Buddha belly. I find this shirt makes me look a lot bigger than some others I have but oh well. Hopefully I can get some good pictures done with practice. Hard to believe that I only have potentially 6 wks + 1 day to go but it will probably be longer than that. Who knows only time will tell I guess.
