Bumpdate

How far along?  14 weeks

How big is baby? The baby is about 3 1/2 inches long from crown to rump and weighs about 1 and a half ounces.

Gender? too early to know, but Matt is wanting it to be a surprise so we may not be finding out

Total Weight Gain? maybe 4 lbs now, I forgot to weigh my self right at the beginning

Maternity Clothes? yes I have maternity pants and skirts, its a lot easier sitting with out having your pants dig in to you. And still regular shirts.

Symptoms? Mostly just a bit tired and hungry.

Food Cravings? I haven't been craving anything in particular, its mostly if I smell something good then I want it but that doesn't mean I have to eat it.

Food Aversions? I don't really like meat all that much, it has to be really good for me to want to eat it.

What I miss? German sandwich meat

Sleep? Sleep is still good, sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night maybe once either to go pee or just because.

Movement? Can't feel any movement yet, probably not until 20 weeks, they said my placenta is at the front so that kind of hides the "early" movement.

Stretch marks? None yet. I have been putting lotion on before I go to bed. I am the type of person where I never put lotion on my body except for my legs sometimes. So this putting lotion on thing is hard for me to get used to.

Belly button? Still seems normal

Milestones? Making it into my second trimester!

Best moment of the week? Telling people that we are pregnant and not just having them think I'm getting fat.

What I am looking forward to? Getting to 15 weeks

Pregnancy moments with Matt: Matt likes to ask the baby if the baby can hear him.

Wordless Wednesday

Weekend Recap

Friday

Didn't do too much at all.

Saturday

Today however was more exciting. We decided to go to Red Deer this weekend not only to visit Matt's parents but to also go vegetable picking on Sunday on the way home. We went and picked up John, Rachel and Henry in the afternoon and then off we went.
We had a nice visit with Matt's parents and also did a early birthday celebration for his mom since we will not be in Red Deer for her birthday. First we had a BBQ dinner and then we had cake. Here she is opening her gift.

We got her matching picture frames so she can put pictures of each of her grandkids in. I had asked her what she wanted and this is what she asked for.  Right now she has 4 grandkids but I know we will have at least one but hopefully 2 and I'm not sure about Matt's younger brother if they will have another child, so i bought them 8 picture frames just in case.


Sunday

Today we went vegetable picking on our way home from Red Deer. We stopped at a farm in Bowden that Rachel had found online.

Not only did they have vegetables they had flowers too.

Weekend Recap

Friday

After work today I had to go make a delivery to one on my Mary Kay customers so I got home from work had a snack and got ready to leave. I left around 5pm and got home at about 6:30pm (we always end up chatting when I go over). But when I came home Matt still wasn't home from work! So I messaged him to find out where he was. He was in Strathmore and the job that he was at was not going very well. He did not get home until after 8pm which is really late in comparison to when he normally comes home from work. The rest of the night was really laid back.

Saturday

Today I slept in which was awesome! But then we had to do some cleaning in the house because someone was going to be staying over just for the night.
Later on today we had youth service so Matt and I both left early to go and pick people up. We had service first and then had a mini discussion and then food and played games in the gym. Here are a few pictures.

Girls playing ping pong.

The youth and Matt playing bump

Matt lost in bump from one of the girls, he was sad that she had gotten him out.

Still playing bump

Sunday

Today we had service in the morning and my mom had brought me a bag from Megan (my brother's girlfriend) because both her and I have been looking for the spin pins and she found them! If you have not heard about them or seen them they are really cool and they are suppose to reduce the amount of bobbie pins that you need to use to hold your bun or up do. Here is a picture if you haven't seen them before.

After church Matt went golfing so I had plans to go do some errands but when I got home to change I decided I didn't feel like going out anymore so instead I had a nap!

Weekend Recap

Friday

Today after work was just a nice veg night! There were two things that I did tonight. 1. was get an engagement gift ready for the party on Sunday and 2. get Matt to help me fill my car up with our bottles so I could take them to the recycle depot tomorrow. Talk about a rough night ;)

Saturday

So today was more productive. This morning I went to the bottle depot to return all of our bottles since it has been a while. I got to the bottle depot filled 2 carts and still had 3 bags to carry. There was a nice guy that was behind me that helped me push one of my carts since he only had 2 bags. We had a good conversation waiting in line it was pretty funny. Then I left the bottle depot with $77.00! As you can tell I had a lot of bottles to bring in. This still is about $40 short of my biggest load to the bottle depot. I really need to make sure I stay on top of it so I don't have to take so many in all at once.
I figured that since I was out I would go to a few stores since I was in the shopping area and first stop I went to was Micheal's arts and craft store. I have been wanting a fall wreathe to put on my door for so many years now and since I have a gift card to there I figured I should see what they have. Here is the wreathe that I found and I love it!

Also I had picked up some scrap booking paper because some of the sheets were on sale for 5 for $1 when each sheet is normally 0.99 cents, can;t pass up a good deal!
Then I went to a few other stores to try and find my mom a new bread maker since her birthday is on Tuesday and her bread maker died. I finally found one at Zellars so I called up my brother and wanted to make sure that he was good with going in on it with me. Of course he was because then he wouldn't have to go out and try and figure out what to get our mom, this usually happens every year.

Finally the shopping was all done and I went home and did a few things around the house and then relaxed since Matt was out golfing....AGAIN!

Sunday

Today was a pretty busy day. First we had church in the morning followed by a choir practice which I think went really well. Then by the time I left church it was just after 1pm and there was the engagement party that started at 1pm. So I got home found Matt on the couch waiting for me since he got home from church way before me, quickly changed and grabbed a snack and then off we went.
We arrived at the party and not too many people were there yet, so we just started chatting it up with everyone. It was a really nice party because we haven't seen some of the people there for a while. Then more people started coming which was great, and there was so much food to eat too! It was such a good way to spend the afternoon/evening. We left around 6:30pm and there were still a few people left but they were going to be leaving soon too since it was only suppose to go till about 5pm but when the chatter is going you just forget about the time.

Renovation Wednesday

So we have started to do some more work in our basement. Well Matt and my brother and our friend Matt did this bit of work last week on Thursday night. I forgot to take a before picture but this room that they demoed had ugly wood panelling from the 70s and then there was drywall behind it too. Also there was an ugly reddish/ brownish carpet that they ripped up too. So really it wasn't very pretty to look at before. Here are some pictures after the demo.

This is where we are going to build a bathroom            And over here will be a storage room

This will be an office in between the washroom and storage room.

I just took a picture of the stairs just so you can get an idea of how messy this was!

So our back yard was looking ghetto again with all the material they ripped out of the basement. Oh well this should be all taken to the dump yard pretty soon.

Weekend Recap

Friday

Today after work was really exciting because Matt and I were given the opportunity to baby sit Rachel's son Henry! Of course we had said yes when we were asked. John and Rachel were going out for their anniversary dinner and they decided on not taking Henry even though it was a tough choice for them. So I got to their house before Matt because he had to work later then me. When I got there Rachel showed me a few things and then they finished getting ready.
After they left Henry and I hung out and played with different toys. Then Matt came over and he snatched up Henry from me, which allowed me to eat my dinner. While I was eating John and Rachel text us asking for a picture of Henry, it was so funny they were only gone for maybe an hour. Henry had a little nap and then we warmed up a bottle for him after his nap and then John and Rachel came home again. They are such cute parents wanting pictures of their baby while they were out for dinner for just over 2 hours and as soon as they came home you could see they missed their little guy so much! Henry is so Blessed to have these two as his parents!
We didn't stay to long after they got home because we wanted to give them their time with Henry before he went to bed.

The Rest of the weekend

Was pretty much uneventful for me. Matt was away in Cranbrooke BC and I was at home just catching up on chores and then really didn't do much more at all. This was a long weekend too so we had the Monday off from work, I really didn't maximize this long weekend. The next one I will try to be more productive!
