Happy St. Patty's Day

Well, it looks like it will be another year for me without green beer or being in Chicago to see the green water...But I think we can wait til next year. Wishing you all out there a Happy St. Patrick's day...Make sure to drink a green beer for me!




35 weeks....

Well today is another Monday, but with the dreary weather over the weekend plus the time change it was real tough to get up in the morning and get ready for work. But somehow I managed to get out of bed and come into work.

The weekend was good since I was able to get a few household chores out of the way, some nursery prep and spend time with my girlfriends. Though the weekend started on a gloomy note with the weather, it was a good weekend overall but tiring.

Friday we picked up the dresser for the nursery and a baby monitor. Slowly getting ready for the long awaited arrival of our little one. On Saturday morning I was up early doing laudry and some cleaning around the house before the Steph's arrived. The girls and I were going down to Port Credit to visit our fave spa for our massage treatments and mani/pedis. We made sure we had time to have lunch at the boulangerie across the street. I had a yummy soup and somehow I ended up leaving with a pretty box of treats to eat at home later that night.

 The pedi was a treat since I have a harder time bending down with my growing bump.  And the massage is always good, I haven't had any back or sciatic pain but I believe that my prenatal massages are preventative maintenace. And they have helped so far. I'm already trying to book my next appointment.
After the appointments we were so relaxed and sleepy. Not sure if it was the weather or because we had such relaxing treatments at the spa.

Saturday night was tough to stay awake for manny p's fight but I had to watch it. I bascially slept through all the other preliminary fights. Hubby was trying to get me to go to bed and sleep there but I wouldn't :)
GO PACMAN!!! I can't wait for the next fight.

The plan was to go downtown on Sunday for a sample sale and the total health show. But decided to stay close to home and get the grocery shopping and laundry done.

We are 35 weeks right now, and we feel like there is still so much to do for prepare. But we're taking small steps, and feeling a little bit better once we accomplished each task.

Crib assembly

So we finally picked up our crib, with the help of our friendly neighbor S.G. Hubby was putting together the crib last night, and we couldn't believe the warnings that were all over on the box spring.
Check it out!


March already!?!?

Wow, I can't believe two weekends have already passed since I've last posted. And the two weekends that passed we're so different....just to begin with the weather. Two weekends ago, me and the hubby drove down to the "dub" in treacherous weather....I think we passed through wet snow, flurries, freezing rain and black ice and more snow. We had stopped at one of the rest stops near Cambridge and the parking lot was covered in a sheet of ice. But thankfully we made it safe. It was a busy weekend. But with the snow, our nephew was able to make another snowman and a fort in the backyard, with the help of his ninong.










On Sunday, was the baby shower.  When we arrived at the hall for the shower, the fire alarm was going off and a fire truck was arriving....All I could think was what the hell was happening?! AND OH, FIREMEN!!!
My bro-in law took some good shots of me and the boys.  It was another fun day where the women gathered to play games and feast. Everyone was very generous and we had many special gifts for baby p.







This past weekend, was another great weekend. The boys were away playing in the snow in VT. And the girls could have some time.





Me and steph, stayed up late to make some cupcakes for steph's nephew's 1 year birthday party. I also made a choo choo train! The party was fun, and alot, i mean alot of good food. I think I overdid the eating since I had trouble moving around afterwards :) But it was definitely worth it. That night the Robinson's came over for a visit, that was long overdue. And on sunday, after having breakfast with steph and sanj, it was a lazy day of catching up on movies with steph (while she napped!)

Great weekends overall....And this weather is amazing, it's only the start of spring/summer.......
