25 Weeks - Munchkin

25 Weeks! Big milestone!!! I have been a lot more relaxed during this pregnancy but still feeling like getting to 25 weeks lets me breathe a little easier! Our little Munchkin is officially an Eggplant this week. He/She is moving like crazy! M is most active after I eat and seems to have a party between the hours of 3-6 am most nights! haha. This next week is lots of routine blood work and the lovely glucose test... Everyone complains about the taste but it really didn't bother me with Hads... Hopefully its the same this time around!

We are also finally booked in for another ultrasound to hopefully find out for sure what this little one is... At 18 weeks baby was very stubborn and the tech could only 'guess'! Hopefully we get more than butt shots this time around... Its still a few weeks away but I am excited to see this little one again! Cant believe it will be the last time until December!!!!

Labor Day Weekend Continued... Monday

Monday was another really fun day!
We spent the morning at the park with the dogs, hung out on the deck, helped Daddy with yard work, Mommy with Laundry, Lunch, and then a nap!!!!

After our afternoon nap we decided to use a couple free passes we got a while back and go to Calloway Park... For those non-Canadians, its Alberta's "version" of 6 flags, but honestly its about 1/2 a flag! haha. Its very small with only one roller coaster, but was PERFECT for Hadley! She had so much fun... Some of the rides scared her a bit I think, but all in all we had a blast!
If you notice below her favorite part of the day was the bubble gum ice cream!!! :)




Riding the Carousel





Smile Daddy!



Not so sure about this one?

Neither was I at the end! It went WAY faster than I was expecting!

Airplane Ride? Another one we 'thought' would be gentle

She was ready to get off of this this too! haha. So was G... He said his heart was racing!

Halloween Decorations? Geeze, guess we better start looking for a costume!



Ice Cream anyone?




Soooooo Gooood!



Me trying to get a picture of her 'driving the car', she just wanted her ice cream back! haha

Love her

Only ride she rode by herself... She was great the 1st 2 times around the track, but then they had to stop the ride because she was trying to climb out of the car... In her defense the girl next to her screamed most of the ride and I think she was freaked out by her!

So basically like I said before... AWESOME WEEKEND!!!!


Hope everyone is having a great, short work week....

Labor Day Weekend Continued...

Ok for some reason I couldn't add anymore pics to my last post so I figured I would just separate the weekend into days...

So anyway, Sunday Morning we had some friends in town so we met them at their hotel for a little swim! Hadley had such a great time on the water slides... I swear that kid has NO FEAR when it comes to the swimming pool, which is kind of terrifying to me...

All smiles!

 Sunday afternoon we went to the Corn Maze and Petting Zoo just outside of Calgary. It was AWESOME!!!! Hopefully we will keep the good weather around and get to go again this year!!!

Always after their tails! haha



Of course she found the creepiest goat to pet



Feeding the bunny



Corn Maze



I love my family

Giant bouncing pillow was a hit!







Tractor ride! Way too rough! I though  I was seriously going to go into labor!!! I was so happy to get off of this thing!





I have to get to a OB appointment so I will have to Post "Monday" tomorrow!!!

Hope everyone had a great Tuesday!

Labor Day Weekend!

This past weekend (Labor Day) was my FAVORITE weekend we have had in such a long time...

G got rained out of work so he was home ALL WEEKEND! The weather was beautiful so we spent most of the weekend outside!
Saturday Morning we spent time out on our deck with Hads, went for a walk down to the playground, played in the yard with the dogs... After our naps (yes, our nap, as in family nap) we loaded up the whole crew and went to the dog park along the river! We had such a great time.

Trying to get a pic before the dogs take off again...



Love this face



Over looking the River

So much fun :)

Snack time

My little Monkey



Loves her Daddy

 To be continued...

Busy Week...

So a lot went on this week and even though I sit at a computer ALL DAY LONG, I never found the time to Blog about it...

Wednesday the 31st marked two important things...

Baby is 24 wks...
I have a OB appointment on Tuesday so I will have more updates. Moving and kicking more and more. Indigestion in full force, tums are my best friends! Had blood work on Wednesday to check my thyroid (results on Tuesday), and I am pretty sure more weight gain ;) Hadley is becoming more and more interested in my Belly and 'whats going on with it' but I am sure she still doesn't understand there is actually a baby in there.

3 year Anniversary!
Its hard to believe that we have been married 3 years! Its been a crazy 3 years, but I wouldn't trade a single minute! I love my husband so much and feel truly blessed to have fortunate enough to marry my best friend!
We went to dinner, childless, for the 1st time in forever... We missed Hads, but it was nice to get to just be us for an hour... Talk, laugh, and not worry about what was going to be spilled on me during dinner! haha. I am excited to see what all the next year has in store for our growing family! :)

Last night (Thursday) my sister-n-laws flew into Calgary for a concert. Morgan brought her 2 month old, Emery, so we got to see a little into our future!!! G and I took care of sweet Emery while the girls went to the concert... I have been slightly terrified to become a family of 4, for many reasons, but last night really must me at ease about it. Yes, it was a little chaotic, but we all survived! haha. Hadley is going to be such a great big sister. I was happy to see how sweet she is with Emery. A little to 'touchy' but we will work on it.

And today...
Bonnie, our nanny, leaves us to go back to school!
We are so sad to see her leave and so incredibly grateful that she spent the summer with us. Hadley loves her so much and I know she is going to miss her like crazy, as will we.
We wish her the best of luck in school and know she is going to make a fantastic teacher in the coming years!!!! Thank you Bonnie for everything!!!!

Bonnie and Hadley

Hope everyone has a wonderful Holiday weekend!!!

So happy to have 3 days off to spend with the family :)
