19 weeks!

Well I guess we're about due for another post about my baby and I.

Highlights of the last two weeks are:

- I've started to feel this baby moving and kicking. Mostly when I'm just chilling on the couch, reading to Daniel or have been hunched over for a period of time.

-I have started to be able to eat meat again. As long as I don't have to touch it raw. (beef still not a fan of but  chicken is slowly coming back)

-I actually feel that I look pregnant and not just "too much cake" kinda belly.

-I have more energy again and don't have to always have a nap after work

- By the end of work my lower back is pretty sore. But being lazy on the couch till Daniel gets home usually does the trick

- I can no longer sleep or lay on my back for longer then five minutes. 

-Baby decides that I have to pee at least twice a night.

That's really all I can think of now.
Next week will be exciting because on December 20 we will find out the gender!!! :) :)
Yes we are going to find out! I can't wait! Baby please cooperate!

19 weeks.

Sorry no 18 week picture. We forgot! :)

guess what's back???

You guessed it.


Hockey.


And in full swing may I add.

Do I mind. No....kinda.... just a little bit. It means I get my husband for the whole week...weekends he's gone. Oh well. Gives me time to get stuff done now that it is officially Christmas time and he's not around to ask questions about what I'm doing. :) Sneaky sneaky!
I am glad he's out and about doing what he loves to do... even if it seems a little crazy. And really who doesn't mind the extra money coming in?
I don't really get or understand his passion for hockey. but hey let's face it there's stuff he doesn't get about me either and the things I like to do. (or don't like. :P )
I keep thinking maybe one day I'll understand more when our kids start playing or something.. we'll see. Not holding on to any high hopes there. I mean I've been around hockey since I was little... and at 21 do I get it? No... so whose to say another 5-10 years won't change that.....

Speaking of the little munchkin... growing rapidly. 

Week 17 people! woot woot! 

I'm feeling great now that baby has decided food is a good thing for mom to have. and baby has even started sharing energy with me. How kind. :) 

Sleep is good.... most nights as long as I have 4 pillows! :) (not even kidding slightly here people. I even have a body pillow. we're not the best of friends yet but we're working on it)

I finally let work know I was pregnant. What a bombshell that was for them. Didn't even see it coming! they are so good about it. Now they're all amazed they didn't know before with the "cute little baby bump" I have.  Well when you're not looking for it you're not going to see it. 

Surprise!

16 weeks. 

17 weeks. 

Let's be honest here... it still looks like I'm eating too many donuts. But it's shaping up better. Give me another week or two.

**still weirds me out seeing my body like this..There's actually a baby in there...My baby....**

The Future

There's our future right there.
At least I already know what it's partly going to look like.

:)

The Joys of Sneezing

I can't even believe it...As if sneezing wasn't enough oh it's own. Add in pregnancy and small bladder and you have got it all. 

I mean besides feeling like my hips are going to explode off my body I now have the added pleasure of wetting myself as well. 

Embarrassing.

Luckily I was no where public at the time of this incident. 

But still.... 

15 weeks.

Alright, 

I am 15 weeks today based on the whole due date and this app we have on Daniel's phone. :) Exciting!

I can definately tell that I have a belly. Others may not see it but I do (and I can feel it too.)

It's a different perspective looking down and seeing my belly pop out. Not used to that. Well kinda... but before I could just stand up straight and WALA it was gone. 

Anyway, 

some people wanna see this belly picture and what not and hey it may be little but i'm excited!

Not quite feeling the baby move around yet... sometimes I think I might... but I could be over excited too.

13 weeks just barely something there

15 weeks now it's see-able. 

It's amazing how much changes in 2 weeks. 

:)

Southern Alberta :)

So this last weekend we went on an impromptu road trip down south. Okay... we had kinda planned it a week before we went down.
My sister Becky had her kid's baby blessing on the 11th and we didn't want to miss that.
Daniel reffed the Saturday night however and didn't get home till.... 1:20. (I was asleep) Well considering he was wide awake and had woken me up and we were planning on leaving around 3:30 AM anyway... we jumped in the car while it was still warm and away we went. :)
It was 2:00 by the time we got out of Lloyd. :) awesome.
Well by about 3:00 I decided to cave and sleep. But oh yeah... being pregnant my body craves sleep yet detests it at the same time. Sleeping in a car... not the best idea. But I managed to curl up in the back seat and mummify myself so I wouldn't hear the radio and got oh 1 1/2- 2 hours of sleep.
By the time I got to drive it was 5am. Best shift ever! I got to watch the sun come up and the fog disappear! it was cool. though all the Fog was reminding me of the movie Brigadoon (anyone?) I got to find it and watch it again.
Well we made it to my parentals house at 8:30. Impressive hey? They were a little shocked they were expecting us to just walk into church right before the baby blessing. SURPRISE! haha
Well we made it to the baby blessing and it was wonderful! I got to hold that cute little niece for the first time! :) LOVE IT! Becky makes thee cutest babies. just saying. :)

Another reason for us going down south was so that Daniel could go hunting and be a man and bring home meat for our deep freeze.
So they (Daniel, Greg, and Bryan) set off Monday 10:00 and were gone till 4:45. it was a very unsuccessful day.
Tuesday (Daniel, Bryan) left around 6 AM. were gone till noonish. Successful for Bryan but no luck for Dan.
Wednesday (the day we had to leave we had decided to leave by 2:30) Daniel went out around 7:30 with Greg for a little bit out around my g-ma's. .... Nothing. I went out with him for a little before lunch.. bad idea. I got super hungry and had to pee (that equals a grumpy wife. mixed with a hubby who hasn't shot anything grumpy truck) So my grandma fed us and you could tell Daniel was ready to give up. Then my sister came in saying she saw a buck running through the trees. Wow did Daniel move fast.

****According to some hunting stipulations he can only shoot a buck in the Magrath zone. Which is a bummer cause there are millions of Doe's around. But you have to put in a draw for that****

So he ran around again (it's about one o clock he told me he'd be back by 2:30. At about 3 I started to wonder where he was. He wouldn't answer his phone so I was a little worried but I figured I'd freak out around 4 if I hadn't heard from him. Cause lets face it Magrath area is a dead zone.. especially when it comes to reception service! Well shortly after I decided this I got a call from him saying that he'd shot a buck! Wow was he excited! like I could feel him jumping out of his pants over the phone!
So I came out to my grandma's and found this:

I have a very Happy Husband! :)
And a lot of meat for our freezer! :) :)

Snow.. snow...snow..snow!

this is how I feel after being outside for 5 minutes.

this is what I think it looks like outside..


not to far from the truth I think.

Time to watch that movie I think.

With some of this
 

Cuddle time! please come back Sun!
