Baby Giblet photo #1

Last night I got home from work and Bryan made me Spaghetti. He got the plate all nicely done up with Parmesan and he turned around to hand it to me when the whole plate of spaghetti seems to hang in mid air before flying to the ground. Bryan just stood there with the plate in his hand staring at the floor, which it looked like he had served spaghetti on the floor. I laughed so hard I fell to the floor laughing, and had to run to the bathroom.

We got to the ultrasound, and the man doing it was this big Russian man, who was pretty funny through the whole thing. He reminded us both of Bryan’s old boss. We got to see the baby kicking with the feet so clear on the screen. We also watched the baby scratch it head, and suck his/her thumb. Here are the pictures they sent home with us, not like the ones we got with Sanora unfortunately. Sanora was bug eyed the whole time then finally said, “But mom it’s just a picture!”

Bryan’s dad is here for dinner tomorrow night and then Bryan’s doing a big turkey and all the fixings from scratch. I would have married that man on his cooking alone, lol. So you’ll probably see pictures of the feast!

Happy Birthday Daddio!

Well another year and all of us kids have probebly make dad's hair a little greyer,lol. Alot of big things this year: a trip to europe, a birth of another grandchild, The anouncement of another one yet to come, and a new job. Since my mom passed away, my dad was one of the few people I felt connected to through the proccess of healing. Of course we faught a bit but there where more good moments than bad. I would phone him and he would tell me he was thinking about me and how he really thought about how hard it would be to have a newborn with out mom, and i really appreciated that. No matter what has happened in the past or even present it is so important to just let things go, becuase you never know when you will loose someone. No matter what happened with my dad and I, he always made sure to say I love you. That is something from mom and dad that practice every day with Sanora. I love you dad and I hope you have a great birthday!

Aidens B-Day and more Gerri

Today was Sanora's boyfriend aiden's birthday. IT was a hotweels party so given we got him a remote control car. Donovan's parents are up so it is nice to see them, and as soon as I told sanora they where going to be there she said, "ahhh the woman that cuts my hair!" I thought that was funny. I talked to my sister Gerri today and read her blog. She is actually leaving October 10th in the section 26 she wrote basically the OC's fire partner. She also wrote on her blog that she is going over as a gunner, crazyness! Anyway mexican for dinner tonight, I am being beckoned.

Dr. Appointment

Well went to the doctors this morning and got to hear the baby's heart beat. IT was interesting watching Sanora's face expresions. Forst thought I had to get 8 viles of blood taken out of me, which Sanora got to watch aswell. The second the doctor put that thingy on my stomach the heart beat came so strong. My Altrasound will be on the 29th of September, which coudl mean that I wouldn't get to find out what the sex of the baby is. I have my ideas, but they are more from comparing the 2 pregnancies.

Another cool thing is that my Boss Sandi at Reitmans has been with her partner Noel for 10 year and they are getting married on the 6th of October. I keep asking her questions all the time, she just thinks it's really cool that I am comfortable to ask questions at all. I don't see any difference between anything so why wouldn't I ask?
All is good and healthy here, I hope the same for everyone else!!

First day of Preschool

Well Sanora had her first day of preschool today and she was very excited about it. When Bryan came and picked me up from work, it was like someone winded her up like a doll, let go and ran for dear life,lol. Sanora has a few things that she's into for the winter; Purple Stew (the pre-school), 2 classes of super sports, munch and crunch (a crafts, games and cooking class), chefs on the run, and Santa's little helpers. It's all out of the same place so it makes it nice and easy. Tomorrow is our next doctors appointment, so Sanora will get to hear the babies heart beat.

Lisa and her baby!

Well today was a crazy day at work and when I was closing up Bryan called me with some bad news. A friend that Bryan has known for years gave birth to her second child, a daughter named Nia and the baby was stillborn. Lisa figures that the baby passed away when she was pushing or when she was on the way to the hospital. My heart goes out to her and it just makes me thankful that her first and my first where born so healthy. I can only hope the same for our second. Bryan is making brown rice suchi and it is sooooo good. So I am going to go eat, while Lisa and Nia are in our heads.

Prego me

Well we have been doing lots of camping these past couple of weeks and we have been having amazing weather. It's been so nice to be able to just take off for the night after spontaniously desiding to after work. I am 13 weeks now with my due date on the 24th of March. I am starting to show now according to everyone,lol. I could feel the difference and feeling the change in shape but apparently it didn't look like I was showing. I'm past the first trimester which is a relief, it's always kind of worrysome. I told everyone on my side of the family and friends right away because of the contrast of my pregnancy of with Sanora. I waited last time because of the dread of how everyone would relact. It is so beautiful for it to be such a happy part of our life. (meaning no sense of dread or wonding if we're doing the right thing or weither we can afford it, or what am I going to do.) unfortunantly Bryan's family found not the way we had planned, thanks to my poor clicking skills on my contact list. Anyway, September 20th is our next doctors appointment so we can let sanora hear the heart beat which will be cool. I miss my family alot now, I feel so far away which I am of course. So I am trying to get much much better at MSN and e-mail to make up for being unable to make regular phone calls. I'm cracking the wip on myself,heh heh.

MY SISTER!

Well I found out the other day that my twin sister is going to afganistan at the end of September 2006 for an 11 month tour. It makes me think back to when me and Gerri use to watch tank girl.....and strangely Gerri kind of reminds me of the character in that movie. I'm proud of my sister because she figured what she wanted to do very young and she firmely stuck to it like gum in your hair, ahhh. When Gerri when into the military she not just did the womans requirements but she went past the mens requirements. I still brag about that, because that says alot about her. It should never be about what sex you are but weather you can do the job, and she more than proved it and is continueing to do so. Gerri-Anne left for training the morning before september 11th, and I remember watching my parents watch the world trade centre fall and I could tell they where thinking of Gerri. Anway I guess in a nut shell I am very proud of my sister, of who she is and what she stands for. I give her my full support and I know that Gerri will work her butt off over there. I love you F!
