I know it has been almost a month since I last put up a post. How can you tell it is Spring with a lot going on. It seems Spring arrives with a bang and then it is like a snowball effect with more and more activities and celebrations jammed in until you finally get to breath at the end of June. And as much as you say to yourself, 'This year will be different', it happens again. They are all good things going on, just lots of it! :)
So what has been happening with us? Well let's see. Everything from birthday celebrations, to coffee dates with friends we haven't seen in a while, to working more on the babies room, to spring cleaning, to teaching piano, to full work days, to everyday life with Lance and Treena.
2 weeks ago we had a bit of a scare with me ending up in emergency over the weekend due to some bleeding. Thankfully after a bunch of tests everything is okay with me and baby but I was told by my Doctor to take it easy for the week. So I was off of work and forced to do NOTHING. You know how hard that is for someone who loves to 'do'?!! But I followed the Dr.'s orders and relaxed. The most I did all week was cook dinner every night. I had a chance to do some projects that did not require motion. Organizing photos, sewing, and putting recipes I've printed off the internet into a binder. I love organizing. I also did a lot of reading, had great extended time with the Lord each day and what would a week off be without watching a few girly movies. :)
This past weekend a great friend and I trucked off to the Cloverdale Kids Swap. Usually I sell my receiving blankets at these but this month we decided just to go and see what bargains we could get. It sure did not disappoint. For $55 I got the following:
- a brand new grooming kit
- a baby monitor
- 6 wash cloths
- 6 bibs
- 6 newborn gender neutral sleepers
- 4 newborn gender neutral onesies
Not bad at all!! A brand new baby monitor alone costs $55! I felt my proud Scottish blood rise within finding all those bargains. :) My goal is to find everything we need through these kids swaps and craigslist to help save in costs. The only things we are getting brand new are crib & change table (which we are getting this weekend thanks to our income tax refund coming in) and stroller/car seat. I'm excited to start to see this room come together in the next few months.
Tomorrow we are going for another ultrasound. We are excited to see our little 'peanut' again. I'm 18 weeks along and if you weren't sure I was pregnant before, there is no doubt now. :) I feel like I've doubled in size this past week. I'll put up a belly shot soon.
Have a great weekend everyone.
