Happy New Year!

Wes and I would like to wish everyone a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! Hopefully I'll get a chance to update a bit more soon! Not much is new, all is well. Feeling pretty good. Start week 31 today. It's nuts! Our prenatal class is in 2 weeks on the 13th!

New DO!

Here's my new 'do' that I got cut just before Christmas! Wes calls it my mommy cut!

30 weeks!

Yup, that's right, in my 30th week. that means 10 more to go, unless by chance she wishes to enter the world early, which I would welcome! hahaha...

Hope everyone has had a great Christmas!!

Merry Christmas to all!

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!! I'm not sure if I'll get a chance to be online before that. We hope Santa finds you all and brings you everything you want!! We already have our gift, so anything else is bonus.

Talk soon!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Update.........might be long!

Sorry it's been a bit. I'm definately going through computer withdrawal! it's been a busy week. Hard to believe that Christmas is less than a week away. Payday tomorrow so I'll be a busy little bee getting last minute stuff and doing a bit of baking. Our last christmas as a family of two! I can't wait until next year now!

All in all, things are well. This time off has been great so far, and I can't say I've been bored yet. My mind is finally at ease and I have a easier time falling asleep at night. Mind you I still don't sleep close to a full night, but at least it's a sound sleep! The pee breaks are getting more frequent, I'm up to about 3-4 a night so far. I hear it will be every hour in the near future! Baby Avah is doing great! She's kicking like a trooper, it's such an amazing experience!! I feel truly blessed to have had this experience. It's a feeling that you can't even describe. I love to watch my belly move when she kicks and moves around. Not being around pregnant woman very often, I honestly didn't have any real idea about that. And when she kicks, I always poke her back. It's like a reassurance that I am here for her. We play tag some mornings, where she will kick, I poke back, then she kicks again, then I poke again. It's a surreal experience. Definately something I never thought I would experience, and now it's finally here. I cry sometimes at the thought of how blessed we are.

Here is my 28 week 4 day pic. Belly is expanding. I had a huge jump in weight this time around, but doc indicates that it's normal where I haven't gained much up until now. And 1-2 pounds per week is expected. So I'm up to 15lbs gained at 28 weeks 2 days.

UC baby on Saturday was amazing to say the least! I layed back on a hospital type bed and Wes got to enjoy the sights from a nice couch next to me. They had like a 32 inch screen that you got to watch everything on! We got a CD with about 91 pics, some a lot clearer than others, overall, we're impressed. Plus we got a DVD with the whole session recorded on (about 30 minutes) where we can see Avah opening her eyes, smiling and yawning! We also got the heartbear bear, where we push the bears foot and hear her heartbeat! We also got confirmation that she is a girl!! I know we had that news a while back, but in the back of my mind, another opinion was great to have. So on Monday, I cut the tags off of all the girl clothes we received!! I was holding off on that until we had the 2nd opinion. Here are a couple of pics of our little angel!

Daddy bought Avah a gift 2 weeks ago. Pink Toronto Maple Leaf onesie with hat and booties! It's too cute!

A big Congrats to my cousin Jenni and her boyfriend Matt on their new little bundle of joy, Kloe! She was born on Friday, December 14th at 2:33pm weighing 8lbs 9 onces. Mommy and baby are home and doing great!!!

29 weeks

Can you believe it! In my 3rd trimester and in week 29 already!! Whoohoo!!!

28 weeks

Yup, in my 28th week! Saturday we head to Halifax for UC baby! I'll be sure to get some pics posted ASAP on here! Wish us luck!

Update

Hey all, as of last Thursday, Dr. Keating put me off work. Baby is fine, although I've been in lots of pain! Needless to say a desk job isn't the easiest when your preggo. My tailbone has really been bothering me, to the point where I only get relief on Sat and Sundays. Lots of pressure in my pelvis which sometimes makes it hard for me to walk. Then added on it all is lack of sleep (partial due to stress at work). I'm happy about being off, I need this time. I feel like the past bit I've been the crankiest person alive and feel really horrible. So the past few days I've been able to recharge a bit so it's coming.

Other than that, we don't have a computer at home so I won't be updating as much as usual which I'm sad about. Already I'm going to through Facebook withdrawals! We're hoping to get a comp in the new year. We'll see how that goes.

27 weeks!

Yup, that's right, I'm in my 27th week already! Frig time flies! 10 more sleeps and it's UC Baby in Halifax!! Another monthly doc appointment on December 17th then it's one every 2 weeks after that! Avah has been kicking up storms and making mommy's belly jiggle lots! I know her peak and down times, it's so neat! Some mornings after I wake up, we play tag for a bit, she kicks, then I push back, then she kicks. It's an amazing feeling! I painted a couple of things for her bedroom last night - we bought wooden letters that spell DREAM and I have two big thick wooden picture frames. So I painted them last night.

Christmas is just around the corner!! We still have bit more to do, but nothing major. Wes' mom will be spending christmas eve and christmas day with us this year as Brenda and Carter are heading West for the holidays. I think we'll have a great little christmas just the 3 of us!

Well here's my 27th week pic!!
