In Honor of Bree!

You may have noticed that my background has changed....(temporarily)

This is in honor of my almost 14 year old, who thinks that Elmo is the best thing to ever hit planet Earth....

Her room is full of Elmos...

She has been collecting them since she was 2

and still loves them....

So, Bree....enjoy the background while you can....

I Want a Bath!

We have no bathtub. No. Let me restate that. We have a bathtub, but we have no wall, and no faucet.

FINALLY...after months of waiting, our landlords came over last night, and ripped out our wall...

It was SO full of mold because of a leak, and the problem is, that the floor all around the tub is wrecked too., and it looks like it will be AT LEAST...3 months before they take care of that....

They are coming over today to finish the job, so hopefully by tonight there will be a usable bath tub again...which is good, cause it wasn't a whole lot of fun trying to wash my hair in the sink this morning with a prego belly....(LOL)

Now I wish that they would be able to fix my patio door..which is letting in way to much air.....

and in the middle of that, Brandy comes home from work sick with the flue, and really sick to her stomach...

ohoh...bad timing.

and then to make matters worse, I couldn't find anything for supper...Literally.

I keep forgetting to go shopping. (who does that....)

and everything else was frozen solid.

SO I had to go shop at 8.30, after they ripped apart my tub,

and we didn't get to eat till 10....

that is just asking for indigestion...(which I had all day)

but

wouldn't you figure....

This time I actually didn't get it, \

cause I was expecting it.

No Figure....

Weekend Fun!


I live for my weekends....

Friday as usual we helped out at youth....but I was absolutly exhausted...which I have been all week...Kids played some games, and then we had a really good youth service after....

Paul talked to the kids about giving stuff in our lives to God, but still keeping one hand behind our backs-hiding what we want to keep from God.....About 1/2 of them went up to the front for prayer, and we were able to talk to some of the other kids privatly about issues they face in their lives...

It was a very positive meeting.

Sat...we hadn't really made any plans...It is usually catch up day for me...work all week, and then spend all day Sat. doing grocery shopping and cleaning house...

Kendal had to work, and Brandy had to work, and Bree had Volleyball all day...

We got a call shortly after we got home from friends of ours who had symphony tickets and wanted to know if we wanted them....Scott was sick....

Oh...Yeah...do we......I don't remember when the last date we had was, because we have been so buisy....(except that I cried because all I had clean was sweats...can't go to the symphony in sweats....(STUPID HORMONES) Kendal laughed at me.

We felt bad though because I knew how much Cori wanted the night out, and so we were a little guilty...

but thanks guys...we really appreciated it...

and Scott we are praying for you that you are feeling better soon....

They were good tickets...center seat.

It was the season premiere of the Sask Tel Classics. They played both Bruch and Brahms, and we enjoyed it very much. They also had a guest artist....Pip Clarke on Violin..(I love the violin)

Anyways, the only part I didn't enjoy was trying to squeeze my fat tummy by people on our way to my seat....Did I get teased by some older people during intermission.

Anyways, if you want more info, here is a link to the RSO...

Before we went there though, we decided to make a night of it and went out for a really nice dinner at a place we had two for one coupons for....called the SOHO....I had steak and Kendal had grilled Tuna...and let me tell you....That was some of the best food we have had in a while...

We will definatly be going back there....except maybe for a cheaper meal, since we have no more coupons....

After the concert, we went for coffee...and then picked up Brandy from work....

We had fun...better squeeze in the alone dates before Baby Jones comes!

Sunday we had choir, so I had to be there at 9.30...

We had an awesome service...

After the evening service we hung out with some friends for a while....

It was a good weekend.....

Week 21

Wow! Hard to believe that I am already so far into the second trimester...

So far I feel pretty good...I get alot of Braxton Hicks which I don't like and need to ask the specialist about, but other then that all is good...

I think I am in trouble. I have a gymnist in there and it never quits moving...

I am however, having a great deal of trouble sleeping...mostly because of the INDIGESTION. Soon I may be sleeping while sitting up....

I also have to get up to use the washroom three times a night...

Oh well....no rest for the wicked I guess.

Your Baby:

Your baby is still pretty active and continues to move all over in the amniotic fluid. However, towards the end of this trimester the baby will begin to settle, usually in a head down position. Your baby is beginning to show evidence of eyebrows and eyelashes and the hair on his scalp is much more visible. He wakes and sleeps in regular intervals, similar to what a newborn would do. This may be apparent to you in his movement patterns. He regularly ingests and absorbs large quantities of the amniotic fluid and excretes urine. Your baby is approximately 27-30 cm (10-10.5 inches) and weighs about three quarters of a poun
