Two Weeks to go!

Since the baby's due date is getting very very close I have started a baby pool!

That's all for now. I'm tired today.

Thanksgiving weekend

Hello!

This weekend was long. A long weekend. Simon was doing a first aid course all day Saturday and Sunday so I was home alone again. On Sunday I made a turkey dinner for about 6 people.. but there were only the 2 of us here to eat it (don't worry, we didn't even invite anyone else over, I just made lots of food!)

On Monday we went to do a maternity photo shoot while I still have a large belly and while it is still nice out. Fall hasn't really hit here yet. I think it's rained maybe 4 days all of September and October so far. There's been so little rain "they" are concerned about the water levels in the river being too low. Anyways we took advantage of the 23 degree weather and headed up to Gatineau Park to take pictures. We also took a picnic of leftover turkey made into wraps. We took somewhere around 130 pictures... so I made some collages to share with you. Sorry there's a lot of them that I like! 

 

These were done at Rideau Hall.  

 These are some of my absolute favourite.

 Here are some "out-takes".

Simon thought this would be artistic...

Simon set the timer then as he walked into 

the picture hit the camera and it had to be reset..This is how he ended up in the picture..

I didn't know he was taking continuous shots of me throwing leaves.

I said we should sit facing each other and smooch, but didn't account for the fact that I can't lean in cause of my belly!

We had fun taking pictures, but were pooped by the end of the day. Good thing we had lots of leftovers to come home to! 

Simon's a pretty good photographer hey?

:)

Week 36

Week 36! 

It's finally here!

28 more days until baby is supposed to be here!

Let's re-cap... 

Nesting much?

Today I pooped myself out.. and it's not even 2pm!

I made 2 lasagna's to freeze, made chili in the slow cooker for supper tonight, and am currently making cinnamon buns. The hard part is done, they're just baking now.

We went to a kids consignment sale on Saturday. Bought some clothes, toys and a nursing pillow for under $35! I wanted to get a swing, but the one we really liked wasn't working properly so we gave up on it. On Sunday Sophie had a baby shower for me! Yay! I don't have any pictures from it yet, but when I do I will post them. So Monday I did 2 loads of baby laundry! One of clothes and one of blankets etc. I feel much better now that the baby room looks like a baby should live in it!

 

Here's Simon putting together the stroller. It's still not done... Simon thought we were done cause I left the room and I was in charge of the instructions. He just put the wheels on. I don't think there's much else to do, but I would like it to be put together properly. You can also see the play pen that we bought for the baby to sleep in for now. It's all matching :) 

Now time for me to sit on the couch and eat a cinnamon bun.. or two with my warm milk. We pre-ordered The Lion King on dvd, so t-rex and I are going to watch it!
