Beach Day

We finally got to the beach and it wasn't fog in!!! Noah loved it all the sand and the cold water. It was a nice day for us.

The Blahs

are so catchy lately and it sucks. Nothings wrong but nothing seem right either. Lots of little things I guess and me getting stir crazy. I need a change or a vacation something different. I lost half of my floss to finish Noah stocking and I went to the store to get more but some how the pattern is not using the right code for the floss so i couldn't get any which mean if I don't find it I have to start a whole other stocking and 7 months of work is wasted. I drop a huge bottle on my toe this morning that made me puke b/c of the pain, it's not broken thankfully but i couldn't really walk on it for a few hours. As well missing my friend that use to live here in the complex(who moved to Winnipeg) that you could just call last minute to go for a walk or even once in a blue moon we would go to the movies(only did it 3 times but still). I just can't wait for the weekend to have Tom home even if we don't do anything it just seems better to have him home here with us. Well it's lunch time and I need to get something to eat. Have a great weekend everyone.

Half way point

It's about time, only 20 more weeks to go!!!!! Five weeks till my next appointment ugh so far away. We not much really to report on here since last time. The tall ships are coming to San Fran this weekend so we might go in. I am really trying to work on Noah stocking with any spare moment I can take. I would like to have it done by the end of this month but I have to be realistic so it will hopefully be done by the end of August. Noah and I went swimming a

Some of you will think I am crazy but I love waking up to foggy, cloudy morning. It's a little dark in our room and for some reason I don't like being waken up by sun shine in my face, I don't sleep well as it is and I never have been able to sleep in a bright room. I need night time darkness. As well the morning that are not bright out are so much more cooler and enjoyable rather than sweating in the high heat. I also like when the time goes back to I don't know why but I guess b/c in the summer I feel time gets away from me, I'll be sitting down thinking I have plenty of time left in my day when I look up and really is it's almost 8pm. But after a long winter I enjoy the more light but I also like the time falling back.

So this week was really busy for us. Tom's working hard and started softball, I got to all three workouts this week and clean the house, which included scurbing floors phewwww it done, completely exhausted but it had to be done. I also been trying to finish Noah Christmas stocking, and get another one finish before December comes. Look like tom's and my will have to wait. haha That all the craft I have time for these days and I long to do so many of my others that I use to do.

Well I am excited that finally next week I will be 20wks half way baby and about time. Starting to feel not so sick but not great either, some days are better than others. I am dying to go on a family vacation here and I hope we get to for a few days, my first pick would still be Europe but with the cost of flights etc it not going to happen, but we might try to go to San Deigo, or Hawaii since those price haven't gone up too too bad. I am still hoping to do a fast trip home in October for a weekend to go to friends wedding but we'll see, as long as things look okay the doctor, thinks it well be okay. So that will be a nice treat for me to leave Noah and Tom at home, and just have a free responsiblity weekend, while stressing my mom out that I might go into labour. Really fast trip though so I'll probably be exhausted, if I get to I'll most like take the red eye out thursday (which mean landing in the late afternoon friday in halifax) and fly back sunday eeke. I am crazy. But we'll see. Not getting my hopes up on that one.

Besides that not much else is new with us. We got a busy weekend here so monday I will probably be falling all over my feet. Well Noah fighting his nap and I got some stuff around the house to do. So I'll try to update you all if something exciting happens haha. I guess that won't happen till Dec than ;). Oh no pictures lately b/c our computer won't take them off the camera. I think it time to get a new computer, once I get it working I'll try to put some up.

Video's

Thought you would all like these...why is my house not quiet anymore( hasn't been for many many months) and it took only an afternoon and there is not much crawling anymore, last night he took ten steps, today at the park he went wild, sadly I didn't have a camera or video camera with me but we go a short clip tonight before bed so he's pretty tired and not steady, but he's been walking all afternoon and night!!

Best Show ...

we have ever seen. We went to the July 4th symphony fireworks show here in town at the amphitheater and it was awesome. If you went to the box office a few weeks before, they were giving free tickets out to city residents. We were planning to go anyhow but free tickets are really a nice bonus. They also had a kids event too with little fair games and a kids concert, which I thought was great, maybe we'll take Noah to that when he's older. Anyhow we got there a bit early and found a spot on the grass section and waited for the 8 o'clock show to start. We loved the San Fransisco symphony, I miss going to stuff like that. We have gone to a few things since living here and we use to go to stuff like that in Ottawa all the time, but nothing in well over a year now, so it was so great to get out and go to something like that. Then after an hour or so, some time after 9pm the fireworks started and they were done to the music as well, which was truly amazing and to our surprise, the fireworks went on for three pieces(songs). Coming from small towns you aren't use to good fireworks or even long shows so we were in awe, Halifax, Ottawa and even San Francisco(we went there two yrs ago for July 4th) firework's are nothing compared to what we saw last night. I really want to go every year to the july 4th firework's here in town as long as we live here.

Long weekend

Yay for long weekends, Tom gets tomorrow off b/c of all the work he has been doing the last couple of weeks and than Friday is 4th of July, 4 day weekend baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy if you can't tell. Not much planned for the weekend but that is completely fine, I get way too tired when we are on the go anyhow. So a lazy four days will be awesome, especial since Tom will be with us.
I didn't get to any of my workout this week which suck, Monday I was too exhausted from the busy weekend we had and than today i was tried from cleaning all day Tuesday and up early today with tom to clear out the rooms as much as possible b/c we were having our carpets cleaned. But it's all done now so it's great, and I rearranged the living again when bring back the furniture in form the patio, not sure I like it but well see if it stays. Now the new task is trying to get ride of more stuff we just don't use, I am tired of holding on stuff b/c we might use it. Lots of things have great potential but if you don't use it than I starting to see it as junk. I have now realized that I want the minimal of things. When we had our living/dinning room cleared out this morning it was just the bookcases and couch, chair and tv, I completely loved the feeling and the looked. I like nicknack's but lets face it, they clutter up the place especially when you have a small place. When we move and I hope to have a bigger kitchen I want nothing on the counter tops at all, and I mean nothing, bare completely bare. I have been doing well at getting rid of stuff and have be taking stuff to goodwill drop offs.... I hope to do more this weekend and next week. It feels great having less.

Sunday we went to the digital moose Canada Day BBQ for Canadians in the Bay Area, It was great we stayed way to long, I was nearly dead when we got home and Noah didn't have a nap at all and he was still going and I was dying. If only I had half his energy, I might feel young again.

Well it's late and I am exhausted so I should head to bed. I dream of December when I can lay in my bed and feel comfy again. I find it's the quality of sleep rather the quantity of sleep that makes me feel good and well the quality of sleep I just don't have, when pregnant.

Oh Noah is taking more and more steps by himself...so I see a running boy here soon, like he doesn't get around fast enough... His doctor said he had the energy of 3 children and that in dec I'll have 4 children haha it feel like that someday....the most funny thing was that Noah wasn't nearly as active as he normally was b/c it was near nap time, haha I wonder what she would have though if she saw him his full swing Noah energy.
