Baby Snickers little joke

Well, we had another trip to the hospital last night, but alas no baby yet. The contractions were painful but it's only early labor. Hopefully this little child decides to come soon.

So baby Snickers got the last laugh on that one, making mommy and daddy go out in that nasty weather.

In other news, we're currently looking at getting a mini-van to replace Darren's car. It will be nice to have air conditioning in the summer( something we both have not had yet!).

Hopefully soon, there will a posting that the baby is here. Until then, I sit at home and wait.

no more dirty rug

So with the little snickers on the way i finally decided to get rid of the rug thoughout the hallway, living room, and dining room. The change is remarkable, those of you who have been here before will be able to see by the pics. It makes the room so much bigger and also cleaner.

The floors are a bit dirty, eventually i will try to clean it and make it good but it good use a good sand and a refinish.

38 weeks

Well, I am now 38 weeks. Hard to believe time is going by so fast. Here's the latest photo of my belly.

Officially done work

I am now officially done work as of yesterday. I don't think I could have worked any longer, after all, working until 37 1/2 weeks is pretty good, I think.

We had a power outage last night for about 5 hours, a very strange experience. So now it's just a a waiting game until little snickers decides it's time to come out and meet the world(hopefully sooner, than later!)

36 Weeks

Well, I am now officially 36 weeks along. Hard to believe that in a month, I'm going to have a baby. I'm working for 6 more days and then I'm off. Thanks goodness, because it's getting hard to keep working and have any energy left at the end of the day.

Once I finish work, I'm going to work on baby Snickers room, getting it organized.

So with the baby on the way i decided i should get the hallway/living room/dining room painted.

As some you of you can remember it used to be a putrit pink, now the livingroom/dining room is a light brown(may be considered a beige) and the hallway is a darker brown.

Darren

Our Valentines supper

Last night, we went out to Pasta Lavista for our belated valentines supper. The food was great and it was nice to get out with Darren. Time is getting short where it will be just Darren and I around. Snickers will be here in about 5-6 weeks, yikes! We had to park a bit futher away last night(got to love downtown parking) so with work and then walking last night, my feet were quite sore when I got home and swollen. But that's all part of pregnancy and I can't wait to see our little child.

33 weeks

Time for an update on this blog. I am now 33 weeks, hard to believe that it's not that much further to go. Things are starting to get harder to do sometimes, when the belly gets in the way. Sleep is definetly hard to come by when you wake up 3-5 times a night to go to the bathroom! But, I suppose that is preparing me for when little snickers makes it's appearance and needs to eat.

Darren is getting excited for the baby too, we start prenatal classes this Wednesday. SHould be interesting and something new to do.

Just an update

Well, so far so good with the baby. I had another doctors appointment and only a few minor issues are coming up, nothing out of the ordinary.

It's scary to think that in 8 weeks or so I'll be a mother! The reality of the whole situation is starting to set in now, but I'm sure I'll learn fast enough what to do. The crib is now up and at some point we'll have to get the rest of the baby stuff from my parents place in Morris.

Baby Snickers update

Well, baby snickers will be 30 weeks old on Monday. Time has gone by quickly. Darren is currently working on the floor in the baby room, and hopefully next week, we'll start putting up the crib and bringing in the baby stuff from Morris. My last day of work is going to be March 7th, putting me at 37 1/2 weeks, as long as baby cooperates with that. Baby Snickers likes to stick it's foot out my right side for the past week, especially when I want to sleep! This child is definetly healthy and active.

27 weeks

Baby Snickers is definetly growing now. I am 27 weeks and officially in my third trimester. This last week, there was has been lots of movement in my belly with the baby kicking. It seems like almost everytime I rest or sit down, the baby starts to move. I know it's definetly healthy

Christmas 2006

Here is some photos from our christmas gatherings. It was fun getting together with family and enjoying a last christmas before little "Snickers" arrives. We had a gathering on the 17th and on the 26th. Darren and I enjoyed four days off from work together, very relaxing.

Merry Christmas

I hope everyone has a great christmas and happy new year

Week 25

Snickers has grown as you can see

Do you think it's a boy or girl?

Our christmas tree

We finally got our tree and now it is up, here is a photo

Our new bathroom

We had an interesting weekend. Darren replaced the shower surround and that turned out to be way more work than he anticipated. I think next time we should be calling in the professionals to do home repairs(of course other than electrical, since he does that for a living!) Anyhow, I think the shower looks much better now.

A new family photo

Snickers is in the photo too

baby is stretching

I can't believe how much my belly has been hurting last night and this morning. I think the little baby is stretching again. I also can't believe how much more this little snicker will have to grow yet.

Our baby-October 31st

Here is a picture of little snickers
