An Update!

Well Christmas has come and went, and we all had fun! I worked a lot around christmas, which wasn't very fun, but that's what you get when you work in retail! I am looking forward to a few days off this week.

The girls got spoiled (as always) for Christmas this year recieving amoung many other things, lots of clothes, a guitar for Teja and a Littlest Pet Shop adoption centre for Emma. They both recieved a wii from their Memere and Pepere, and that has proved to be hours of entertainment!

Eric and I got engaged on Christmas day too. It was wonderful and he completely surprised me with a ring that I LOVE.

I am officially finished my first trimester of pregnancy, and really happy to be feeling a LOT better. The sickies are mostly gone, just a bout with them once in a while.. and my tummy is strating to grow. I need some more track pants, because nothing else is fitting!

My next Doctors appointment is in about 3 weeks, and I am excited to go. I'm bringing Eric this time so he can hear the baby's heart beat. Our big ultrasound should be not too long after that (within a few weeks) so we're pretty close to the mid-point, and it feels really good!

I've started composing a list of things we need to buy between now and June, and it doesn't really look all that daunting..

So far it includes a Travel system (Car seat and stroller - which I think I've got picked out already), and we need bath time soaps and lotions, and I'd like to start buying diapers since Eric nixxed my cloth diapering idea. (He says he doesn't want to wash poo in the same machine he washed his clothes in lol) I need a new diaper bag, and I already know what i want for that too. But before I buy it, I want to make sure I can't bring the other one back to life. It just needs a good wash. I need some nursing bras too, and some crib sheets. Other then that it's just a lot of washing to get things ready. Once we find out the gender I can pick up a few outfits.. but I am not going to go crazy because I am quite sure the baby will recieve some as gifts aswell, and I already have quite a few in a tote ready to be washed, so we don't need to go crazy. I'd like to get some pink or blue recieving blankets too once we know what this baby will be.

anyway, if you're lucky I will start posting pictures of my expanding tummy at some point. maybe in a few weeks I will start! lol

Hope your Christmas was great too, and all th best in 2010!

Hi.

Hello, I am still alive, but barely. haha

everyone in our place has been sick, except me, and I have been very busy taking care of them, however, thankfully, everyone is on the mend, because I just got slapped with a massive wave of exhaustion. I yawn continually, and can't seem to get off my ass for anything. I have to keep my stomache not empty, but not too full or i feel like I'm going to puke. ugh!

I can't wait to be out of the first trimester so I HOPEFULLY!! Start to feel better.

It's true what they say about every pregnancy being different, so far this is right in between the other two. For Teja, I puked multiple times daily for almost the whole pregnancy, and for Emma, I think I got sick once. This is right in between the girls.

Not much is going on, I turn 28 next week, and Eric and I are planning to go out for dinner, if my stomache approves of those plans, and then we're going to go get all of the christmas shopping done so that I don't have to worry about it anymore. At least for the girls. They're the most important anyway. And I'm dragging him to Babies-r-Us so we can look at travel systems and see if theres anything that catches our eye.

Some news

There is going to be a new little heir or heiress to our throne joining us!



Eric and I are completely excited, as are the girls.
We're just about 5 and a half weeks, and have just had an ultrasound and everything looks good. I need a spot to keep people updated, so I guess this is it!

I don't really feel any different yet. I'm bloated and Eric will tell you I'm irritable. I've also discovered that if you mix taco seasoning in sour cream and use it as a dip for tostitos, it's heaven on earth. (Eric doesn't agree) hahaha

We have a lot to do before bambino comes, so thankfully we have months and months to prepare!

This winter we are getting a new kitchen and then the main floor has been completely re-done! It looks awesome too, I can't wait to have it done.

Anyway, that's the news, we're expecting Butterball sometime in late June, and hoping that because I have c-sections that that means we can plan it so Emma doesn't have to share her birthday!

It's been a while..

Well it's been MONTHS since I updated this thing.

I'm sorry, but we've had a busy summer, and fall hasn't been all that slow either!

The girls have both started school now, and both love it. Eric and I are still working, and I have finished up some paperwork that's been hanging over my head for a long time. That feels good.Theres also other exciting stuff happening, but if I told you now, I would have nothing to write about for months again.

Everything's different yet still the same.

Everyone is very happy, and healthy and growing up so wonderful.

I promise to update this a little more often.

The Haps.

Wow - what HASN'T happened in the last while?

Teja had her Dance recital, it went good.

Both girls started baseball - they love it.

Teja, Eric and I went to toronto to see a blue jays game - we all had a good time.

The weather's nice! yay!

Here's some pictures. You'll probably have to click to see the whole thing because blogger's dumb. haha
