Happy Halloween

Bubbles

For an extra special bath time, Jackie joined me in my tub. We have a large corner jetted tub – for extra fun we added a few bubbles and let the jets do the rest of the work. She had a blast and did not want to leave.

Pumpkin Carving

This year Adam wanted to carve a pumpkin. So with Jackie’s help, he gutted it – the actual face carving happened after she was in bed.

Names

Well, I got quite a few great mane suggestions from some of my faithful readers. I have to admit as good as the name Blueberry Hill would be for our little boy - we are going to pass on it.

We have narrowed the name selections down to just 4.

- Anderson
- Damien
- Sebastian
- Zachary

Adam and I have picked our final selection and will reveal the name one he makes his grand entrance into this great world.

I am doing good - tons of Braxton Hicks this time (I had none with Jackie) everyone at work thinks I am ready to explode - but I look the same as I did with Jackie (I guess they are just not used to someone working right to the end).

I am done work on Friday, then if all goes as planned - have a week off and have the baby right on schedule (yeah right - when have they ever listened to what they are suppose to do?)

Keep you posted...

Not yet...

For those of you waiting for baby news - no baby yet.

I thought I would have this little guy early - my boss was convinced it would be the weekend past - but I am working today.

I have had lots of Braxton Hicks - and I am still just under 2 weeks out from my due date - so lots of time to be early still. I will keep you all posted.....

Teeth

Jackie’s absolute favourite thing in the whole world to do right now is to brush her teeth – if we let her, she would do it 10 times a day; we only let her do it after a meal – so on the weekends – max 3 times – on a week day – right before bed.

She is very funny – knows her routine quite well, change into a sleeper, have a bottle, then runs upstairs yelling “teeth”.

These pictures are of her brushing her teeth for Grandma in Canmore.

A New Look

Adam has glasses!

My dear Hubby realized recently that he can't see some things very well or at all - so off to the optometrist - and now he is sporting a new look.

I think he looks great - but I have told him he needs to start wearing nicer clothes to make the neck up look match the neck down....

Pretty Puppies

A little while ago I gave Jackie some play jewelry, whenever she or I put it on her - I said "Ohhh, Pretty!". Well this has translated into her thinking all jewelry is actually called "Pretty". Because it is cute - we have continued to call her jewelry 'pretty'.

This past weekend - Jackie decided Brutis needed some pretty too - so Brutis became "Pretty Puppy". I don't think he was too impressed.


This is Roxie - Shane and Brenda's dog - at least she is a girl....

Vegetables

A funny story about my dear Hubby…

Sunday – I had to work (big sale at Trail and so I had to work 4 hours in the morning), so I gave Adam a shopping list. We were having some friends over for dinner that evening so I put on the list and told him – a fresh vegetable – but no broccoli (he always gets broccoli) – I even suggested green beans.

Well – fast forward to me coming home – the grocery shopping is done – and this is what he bought.

Yes that is an Eggplant and 2 Parsnips.

After I was able to speak (completely dumbfounded at his choices) I questioned him about those choices. He said – well I like Parsnips – and you cook with them (yes, I do – but only when I am doing a roast and they are roasted along side with carrots), the eggplant – I don’t know if even he can answer why he choose that vegetable – I have never bought one myself before – nor do I know if he has even eaten it before.

Anyway – he has gotten the same reaction from his mother and our friends – completely dumbfounded at his bizarre choices.

3 Years Ago

3 years ago we woke up – super early – neither one of us being able to sleep any longer.
3 years ago, we left each other, said good bye with one last engaged kiss.
3 years ago, I excitedly got my hair and makeup done.
3 years ago I stepped into my wedding dress and though about what you would think when you first saw me in it.
3 years ago I walked down the isle with a smile so big I knew it took up my whole face
3 years ago we shared our first married kiss
3 years ago, we ate, drank and celebrated with all our friends and family.
3 years ago I said “I do” and so did you.
3 years ago we agreed to continue on the journey we started 2 and a half years before.

3 years ago I was not aware I would be pregnant for exactly half of that time.

In those 3 years:
We have added a very furry, very lovable member to the family.
We have sold a house.
We have bought a house.
We have had a daughter.
We have both changed jobs.
We are almost done making our son.
We have laughed.
We have cried.

I would not change these past 3 years for anything, and look forward to many more to come….

35 1/2 weeks

Today I am 35 and a half weeks pregnant. The top picture is me today - pregnant with Peanut - the bottom picture is me a year and a half ago - 35 1/2 weeks pregnant with Jackie.
