Sept 16 - 21 weeks and 2 days...

I really dont have anything that i really want to write about, i'm just super board, so i figured that part of my lunch break could be me typing in my blog.

So yesterday was interesting. I woke up, ate breakfast (cherrios), and went to the bathroom to brush my hair and teeth, when... oh no! breakfast didn't want to stay down. and a lot of the time when i'm not able to keep food down i end up getting a really bad head ache(?). so i decided that i needed to sleep it off. so i slept till about 10:00, and i started to get ready for work again, got in the car and was driving... going down McKnight Blvd. i needed to make a emergency stop on the side of the road to throw up. and then turned around and went back home and spent the rest of the afternoon on the couch. i was feeling better in the evening, and feeling crafty (like i wanted to make something or do something creative) so i started to paint the spare room. so now it doesn't look like a spare room anymore, it looks like a baby room! its so cute. i love the colors. i dropped the roller and ended up getting paint on the carpet, oops. so i'm going to see if my dad has anything that we can put in there. I just got off the phone with him, he says he does, and he'll come over and measure the room just to make sure. so thats good. Here are some pictures from the room...

Its a lot brighter then what the picture is showing. like you can see the corners where the sun is really hitting it, thats the color that it is. i love the chocolate brown bottom 3rd of the wall. so its not too much bright color, and it helps tie in the room to the rest of the house (our room has a chocolate feature wall, and chocolate features all over the other rooms). i need to do some touching up on it, the tape wasn't thick enough to cover the top of the pannel so we goofed a little. but its okay, nothing a little paint wont fix. and we will paint the celing(?), it has a yucky yellow tinge to it. and then we will put up the new baseboards (white not nasty green/brown like it was when we moved in), and then paint the trim around the patio door and the closit door too. then the room will be perfect. we wont set up any of the baby furnature for a while though. the crib is at my moms house and i'm not sure when we will be bringing that home. i dont even know if it would fit in our car. so we might just have to wait and see. thats really all we have right now. a crib, stroller and car seat. we will get more closer to when the baby comes. maybe we'll get some good boxing day furnature deals, if we can wait that long before buying anything. haha.

Any who... I was reading my cousins (Kim) blog and she is expecting! which is very exciting! I'm very happy for her. She had a super cute idea on how she was going to tell everyone. So her first baby, Brianne, is a year and 4 months old (i think) and going to be a big sister. so she went to a place in a mall where they do t-shirt printing and had one made up that says "big sister in training". and so she had Brianne wear it when they went to Utah for our grandma's 80th birthday, and everyone was happy and excited. i thought that was a really cute way of telling people. so i have 2 cousins one one side of my family who are pregnant, and 3 cousins on the other side who are also pregnant too! and my one really good friend is expecting her first as well. and Kim brought up a good point, she said that she never really noticed all the pregnant women around her till she was pregnant, and i realized that i'm the same way. all these ladies walking around with basket balls under there shirts. lol. but its funny how you dont notice that kinda thing till your pregnant, or trying to get pregnant. but anyways. i'm very happy for Kim, and everyone else that i know that is pregnant. Its a wonderful feeling, even the sick yucky parts, to know that you've created life and in what feels like a short amount of time you will have a beautiful little bundle of joy to call you own.

For not really having anything to talk about i sure did type a lot. haha. bye byee for now.

20 Weeks and 4 days

Hello all...

I am 20 weeks and 4 days along. Past the half way point. I love that i am starting to show and that i can wear prego cloths and have my belly sticking out and not feel like i'm fat. And i can walk around with my hands on top of my belly and rest them there. Its awesome.

We went to Kyle's cousins (Jeremy) wedding this weekend in BC. it was really nice. a beautiful ceremony and reception. and i got to wear my new prego dress shirt that i bought, and the new skirt that i made! We took a picture of Kyle and I and its really cute.

(not the best picture because of the sun (and Kyle's non-smile), but still good)

I got really car sick on the way home(tuesday) and ended up using a tupperware container at a 'sickness bag'. and then because i wasn't feeling good i didn't want to eat anything and that made baby boy mad at me. so all day Wednesday i was feeling like i was going to be sick. I was talking to a lady at my work who has 2 boys (one is 3 and the other is 1 1/2 (i think)) and told her that i wasn't feeling well, she asked what i had eaten, and i told her tost for breakfast, apple at 10am, and soup for lunch. she said that, that wasn't good enough. and that i should be snacking more. and then when i got home from work, still feeling yucky, i ate dinner and then i felt fine. i dont like that feeling of wanting to throw up, so now instead of bringing just one apple a day to work with me i'm going to bring 2, and eat more at breakfast. maybe have a few spare granola bars in my desk and purse.

So i've started to feel him move(the baby, duh), its mostly in the mornings when i wake up, and then when i'm getting ready for bed. I got a heart dopler thing, just one of those cheepy ones, not like the one that the doctors have, its not very strong, i can only hear my own heart beat through it. but it says that it works best when your 28-30 weeks, so maybe it will work better then. i was reading on babycenter.ca and some people sugested that you do it when your bladder is full. so maybe i'll try that.

I'm starting to get hungry now so i'm going to eat one of my apples! bye byee for now.
