Another year over …

And I’m thiiiiis close to being four months pregnant! What a wonderful end to a whirlwind of a year!
Things started off with a trip to Mexico for my big sister Jenn’s wedding in February, our week-long New York trip, her baby born in August, finding out about our OWN baby in October (!!), celebrating our [...]

14 Weeks (the second)

I wasn’t going to post a belly pic … but it looks like it’s grown a lot! So I decided to anyways =) I took this pic on Thursday night before Brad and I went to his work’s Christmas party!

Still haven’t really felt the baby move … I’m trying to be patient, though, since this [...]

the story of stuff

My brother-in-law sent Brad a link to video last week called The Story of Stuff. It’s a fascinating look at the extraction, production, distribution, consumption, and disposal of goods in our society. It’s 20 minutes long, but well worth it – watch the first few minutes and if you don’t have time just now, bookmark [...]

Heartbeat!! YAY!

The picture seemed appropriate! We had a massive snow-dump on Sunday, and I walked into our room in the early afternoon and saw a heart in snow on the outside of our window. How beautiful! It was a great reminder of how much God loves us =)

baby bump + baby sweater

14 weeks!! WUHOO! Now, according to everybody, I’m in my second trimester, which is pretty darned exciting! And only two more sleeps till I get to hear our wee one’s heartbeat. I’m going to bring the camera with because it records sounds so Brad can hear it! (And if I can figure out how to [...]

#1 thing not to say …

… to a probably self-conscious “big-boned” grade 7 boy when he says that he was going to go as a girl for Hallowe’en but didn’t because he’s ‘bigger’.
And what did the socially-awkward youth group leader let fall out of her mouth?
“Why not? There’s fat girls!” Followed closely by, “Oh my goodness, I didn’t mean it [...]

13 Weeks!

Wow – I’m 1/3 of the way there!!! One of my pregnancy books says I’m done my first trimester, two say this is my last week of it, and one makes absolutely no mention of trimesters at all. So, safe to say that by Saturday, the first trimester is DEFINITELY over! I’m continuing to feel [...]

Three months … where has the time gone?

I’m 12 weeks pregnant now … that’s three months, people! This week our baby will grow from lime-sized to peach-sized and will develop reflexes, such as opening and closing it’s hands, making breathing motions, and squinting his/her eyes. Apparently if I poke my uterus, the baby will move in response, I just can’t feel it [...]
