As suspected there is not much service for the phone up here... Just thought I'd post a quick pic of my view right now.
Oh lucky for me misquito's don't like my blood :)

2 More Days

Yep that's right, only two more days until we leave for the week long vacation. I am so looking forward to it. Today is my last day at work and then I have just about two whole weeks off. I've learned that I should take time off after my "vacation" just for that extra time to relax and not have to rush right into work.
I finally emailed my dad and told him about the baby. I told him on Father's day. He took the news much better than I expected. He congratulated us, and also said it is a BIG surprise! lol.
He should be moving back to Canada in 2013. Now, if he will come back to Ontario, or go to Alberta is another question. My younger (1/2) brother lives in Alberta.
I am actually kind of excited to have him come back. He is planning to design and build an airplane when he is back. I think that is the funnest thing, and look forward to it.
Still haven't felt any baby movement yet, but am not to worried. I know I will soon. It is only 17 weeks after all.
Did I mention we get our ultrasound on July 13. That's not far off at all. We still haven't 100% decided to find out the gender or not, but I am thinking we will. We are heavily leaning to that side of things. In all perfect world, we would find out and keep it to ourselves, but we both know that won't happen LOL.
Anyway, that's the update for now. I probably won't have time to update again until the vacation if I get cell phone service up there.

Nice weekend

Friday, I spent the day with my good friend Joanna and her son Aiden. We had a fantastic time. We went to see my mom at work to show off Aiden to her (he's 8 months). Everyone there just loved him. After that, we went to the local petting zoo. Aiden loved the goats and was affraid of the cow. Just recently there was a horrible occurance at the zoo. Some people broke in and shot some of the bunnies and chickens with a pellet gun and stole a baby goat. How sick?
Friday night Nona babysat little Aiden and Ang, Jo and I went to niagara falls tourist strip to watch the weekly fire works display. We missed about half cause we were eating dinner. Lol

Two weeks to go

Ahhhh..... Two weeks until my vacation ... Actually 10 working days... Then it's off to the cottage!! Yay!!
I can't wait. I have to admit I will miss having a nice cold beer by the lake. Seems like everywhere I look there is a cold beer staring me in the face.
15 weeks this week! Seems like time is going by slowely. I'm still not sure if we will find out if it's a boy or girl. I'm leaning more toward finding out this time. Although not knowing would be kind of fun too.
We don't even have a cute little Nick name for it while it's in there.
I suppose that in the next 5 weeks, I'll start to feel it moving. How will I know?? What will it feel like? I've heard everything from "butterflies" to "waves". Oh.. So much to experience still.

It's a boring life these days...

Nothing much has been going on these days. Ange has been training 35 hours a week for her new job for the last 2 weeks, as well as working close to 35 hours a week at her old job. Needless to say, I haven't seen her for almost two weeks. She doesn't even get this weekend off. I am off all weekend and looking forward to it. It's been a short week for me but I still feel ready for a break. We have a wedding to go to on Saturday, so at least we'll be able to spend some time together there.
The weather here has been gorgeous... All hot and humid, and I love it. I never had a/c growing up so now I don't usually feel like I need it. I do admit that there are few occasions that I can't get comfortable in the heat and think an a/c unit would be nice, but most of the time I can survive nicely. I am so hoping for a nice hot humid summer this year.
Although the extra pay from Ange working two jobs so hardcore is nice, I still miss her and would rather spend more time together

Midwives

I had my first appointment with the midwife today. It couldn't have come sooner for me. Sunday morning I had some light pink and brown spotting and it continued to this morning. It seems to have subsided now. The midwife says that it is fairly normal especially if it is only when wiping as well as after being intimate with your partner. She did the usual intake things and used the Doppler to try to find the heart beat. She couldn't find it. She asked the adminitrator to see if we could bump up my ultrasound to help put my mind at ease. Oh, they bumped it up alright and sent me over right away. How awesome is that? So I went to the ultrasound lab and they took me right in. The first thing the sonographer said was " baby's moving around" I had to clarify. I was so relieved. It's got a good heart beat and was really wiggling around in there. Later the midwives called to say that baby is developing normally.
Here he or she is

1 year ago.

1 year ago today I lost my first little angel. I've been thinking about it all weekend. I carried her with me for 11 weeks and 1 day. Tomorrow marks 11 weeks 1 day with my new miracle.
It's hard to fully grasp that someone is in there growing. I mean peeing on a stick 9 weeks ago seems like so little proof of a real little baby growing.
I go for my intake appointment with the midwives next week. I don't know if they'll try to hear a heart beat or not. Ultrasound is on may 25. Two weeks tomorrow. I don't know if Angela will be able to come to that or not. It will be during her two week training period at her new job. She's unsure if they'll let her get away or not. If not my mom will come with me.

Funny how some things matter...

So, it's my Birthday today. I'm 33. Not in the least embarassed or whatever to admit it. Honestly, my birthday this year isn't important to me. I haven't really even given it a second thought. Well, I got a birthday email from my dad. He never remembers my birthday. It made me smile. It made my day.

Rainbows

Today has been a weird sort of day. I woke up to the sound of Angela paniking. She came flying from the bathroom, back into the bedroom, exclaiming "I can't go to work today, I have to go to the doctor or to the hospital!!" I jumped out of bed and put my glasses on, as she continued "come see this... It's disgusting!, but you have to see it." honestly I was thinking she had worms or had passed blood from her rectum. Nope! She had a small tick nesting on her ear. It was kind of freaky. We went to the doctor and he removed it. Drama over.
I then came to work. Been here for two and a half hours now but I just have no energy to do anything. I feel like I haven't eaten or slept in 4 days. I have done both of course. Sleeping isn't going so well but I do get some.
During dinner tonight we looked out the window to find this: (it's a rainbow if you can't see it)

Busy week

I feel like I've had a busy week. Only now I can't even think of what I've done.
Tuesday we took the dogs for a walk at a local conservation area. Bennie picked up a tick and we saw a snake.
We then took Bennie for a haircut. He must be allergic to the soap that the groomer uses because he's all itchy now. He's prone to allergies, so we have a doggie allergy pill for him. It seems to be helping.
We spent the evening tonight cleaning the house and doing all the laundry we can find in the house. Even the dog bedding. Now, I'm so tired I feel like I could sleep for months. Can't go to bed yet though, I have at least 3 more loads of laundry. Yuck. Here is a picture from the walk Tuesday.

Congratulations to Angela !!

A little while ago, Angela decided to apply to a new job. She currently works for Canadian*Tire as the manager in the parts department. The new job is also for Canadian*Tire corperation, only it would not be in a retail store. This new job is only part time but pays a lot more. She got the job!! She can also stay on part time at the retail store so she'll be making full time hours combined at least. I'm very proud of my girl!

In pregnancy news, all seems well. The m/s comes and goes. I find I pee more, and i have been feeling more constipated. I'm also starting to feel more nervous as I approach the period of time the miscarriage happened last year. It's just so hard when you have to wait to see what's in there. I wish I could just see everything is fine.
