It's the long weekend and we have no plans and I am sure Tom will work some of it which is normal for us. Today we drove out to Gilory Outlets stores I have been wanting to go out there for a while since we having been out there since Grampie Flynn was here back in march. We got up and out the door early for us before 10:30am and got there around 11am something. I was disappointed at first b/c the Gap didn't have a maternity section like they did when I was pregnant with Noah. However I found some clothes that fit me now(a little tight in the belly but what do you expect when you are 25 1/2wks pregnant). I also bit the bullet and bought pants that I love and hopefully I got the right size I could zip them up still but they were a little tight in the tummy and upper thighs so I am hope they will fit better after the baby comes, the next size up wasn't tight at all but my waist won't be this size after December so that is why I went a size down. Here is hoping anyhow. Tom got a lot of nice stuff too and it was even better that not only was it an outlet store but labour day sales too!!!!! I am not much of a shopper and very rarely find stuff I like or fit well but today was a success. When you have clothes that fit nicely they really make you feel so much better. Especially when you been feeling low for a bit and down, so for once my shopping therapy was a success, even if none of the clothes were maternity haha.
Well we are slowly getting back to normal, I knew that first day with the 3 hour nap was too good to be true but we are getting there. There is no screaming in the car anymore and eating a bit better however we have 5 teeth coming in and appear to be coming in one after another so our gums are swollen, so eating won't be much fun here in a bit. I finally got almost a wholes night sleep(no Noah hasn't been waking us), I just don't sleep well when pregnant(nope the baby doesn't wake me up kicking either), I am up to pee or just up at least 4-5times a night...so frustrating. Well that's it for now. Hope everyone having a nice long weekend!!!

A litte too silent...
Today had an empty feeling for us. The buzz of others and their presence were gone today which always leaves our house lonely. We had a great week with Uncle Dan and Aunt Genevieve and we miss them. We had a busy week and our schedule was upside down but it was well worth it. Noah love having them here and always wanted to hold Uncle Dan's hand or watch him play guitar hero etc. Noah did way better than we thought he would with not having his normal naps and routine, he's such a routine child. We did have our screaming fest and trouble falling asleep in the travel bed but over all he did great. We didn't get to do everything and somethings were cut short b/c of a tired little man but I think over all they had a good trip or we hope they did. Can't wait to have them down again in the future.
Well we are trying to get back to our routine here and we are getting there little by little. Noah took is 3 1/2 hour nap which was wonderful and I got a little house work done with a rest in there too. Noah still looks for is aunt and uncle and probably will for a few days. The heat wave is on it's way here...ugh I knew it was too good to be true to have the cooler weather here, hopefully it won't stay too long. Tomorrow we get back into exercising and than loads of laundry and normal everyday stuff, and hopefully Noah will take his nap again and be fully settle.
News on #2...We had our doctors appointment today and it went well and things look good. So we are happy with that news our next appointment is September 15th so hopefully things will continue to look good.

Dreaming
I have to say it's nice to have dreams andl I mean the dreams you hold out for in the future. A lot of my are ones that I want to come but just not at this moment.
I dream of....
1. A house one day that we will live in and it will be ours(or the banks) where we'll stay forever(not ready for this b/c well I am not ready to settle down in one spot, a house is a big commitment in my books).. I have completely found the plans for my dream house though.
2. Trips!!!! I want to see the world, I love discovering new things, different cultures(I hope this happens sooner than later, I don't want to wait till we are older b/c well you never know what will happen in the future)
3. The days when both of us don't have to work and the kids are gone(we'll miss them yes, but we also like being just the two of us, hopefully we'll remember what that will be like, because we sure don't know it now).
4. The day when our family is finished...this will probably be one of first to get checked off my dream list haha.
5. Live somewhere new and exciting...a new country sounds good to us...really hope this one happens just for a few yrs.
Those are probably my top five of dreams, I have little ones here and there, but I would say those are my top in really No giving order.
This weekend here was a bust, we didn't do anything at all and Noah and I were cranky...Tom couldn't make up his mind what to do...ugh. I dislike these weekends just b/c I look so forward to them. Most of the time we don't do anything and that is fine, but we really didn't even get out of the house for a walk etc. Hopefully next weekend well be better, no plans just hoping for a better atmosphere in the house.
Noah quite the firecracker and most of the time makes me smile, at night some days I just feel like crawling into his crib and cuddling with him. I so miss him being a new born, however we developed new type of cuddles, Noah will walk over to his books and pick one out and bring it to me to read to him, he loves loves books, which I am very thankful for.
I am really getting excited for Christmas, I think I would have the house decorated now if tom let me. I am hoping we can sneak in a really tree for this Christmas. We'll miss our families but I have to say we love not traveling at Christmas time. It's just so nice to stay in our home and not have to go anywhere!!! When the kids are older it will be like that too, No traveling at Christmas but people are more than welcome to come see or stay with us.
I am really hoping we go on a mini vacation here in September. I dislike September for a few reason, so if we go away that month it well make it a more happier month. I am still dreaming of going home in October for my friends wedding but I strongly doubt I'll be going when I'll be like 32wks prego, my parents want to see me but don't want me to make that long flight and we'll have to get traveler insurance if I do go just in case. But we'll see how things pan out. I'll be really disappointed that I won't see it. Maybe someone could take a web cam to the wedding and I can watch it live!!!!
I think that is it for now, not much really going on, just me day dreaming most of the time and wondering when #2 will grace us and hopefully we'll have a name picked out too. The name game is not going well this time. Last time it was so easy we just knew and this time there is just nothing we like or stands out. There are names I like but not when they get shorten or I just don't like them enough. I can tell you all that if we pick a name though that can be shorten that we will not be using the shorten version of the name. I don't care once they are in school and if their friends shorten it, if that is what they want but not family. I really don't understand why parents name their children a name and than don't call them that name, it just doesn't make since to me at all. So if for example we let say have a boy and name it Richard where did Dick come from?????? why call him Dick when you named him Richard. If I wanted to call my child Dick than I would name him Dick not Richard and I am not a fan of the 'Y' thing either. So please don't think we are mean in saying to you all but don't do this to our children. The name we give our children are the name we want them to be called. And No Richard is not a name we are considering. Okay Noah is down for his nap for sure now so it's time to clean.
