A blog for my family. I couldn't figure out how to change things on this blog so I made another for our family.

Our Happy Family

Praise the Lord, Our little bundle finally arrived! I got induced a week and a half early, and we are some thankful! She's already a week and half old can't believe how fast the time is going! We just love her so much!!

Birthdays! =)

Happy Birthday to me!! hehe

No baby...but that's ok, I didn't really want to be in the hospital on my birthday. Unfortunately, last ngiht/ this morning I could not sleep for the life of me. I had been up since 3, tossing and turning...sighing. Around 4 I woke Adam up because I was board and at 5 he asked if I was going to go back to sleep and I said no can't seem to. He suggested we go out to the beach and watch the sun rise! I'm never this awake that early in the morning, but off we went, it was soo nice and relaxing! Then he took me out for a breakfast and we came back and slept for an hour!

Mom and Dad came up in the afternoon to keep me company and help me get things in order in the house...and to treat me a bit :). I'd say it was a pretty good day!

My birthday present from Adam =). So I can enjoy the sun on our lovely deck!

Feels like summer =)

I am really bad at blogging so I decided I would just write whenever I get the chance and post small updates in my life. One big update is we finally got our house =). We're all moved in, but hardly near set up. Once everything is ready I'll post some photos! Another big update...baby is due in 3 weeks!! I'm hardly ready for her (house being not set up) But I really want her to come now!

It's been a crazy past month with house renovations, moving and birthdays. Last Friday was Adams birthday, but we celebrated Moms (which was Saturday) because it was a nice day and we wanted to something fun and outdoors. Then Saturday we celebrated mine and Adams at his parents house! It was a fun time.

Thanks to my parents and grandparents for birthday money we were able to get a vanity/medicine cabinet for over our bathroom sink! Yay bathroom is pretty much done! Then Thanks to His parents and the last of our wedding money (how it lasted so long we have no idea!!) we were able to get a really nice rocking chair for the Baby's room. Lastly thanks to his grandmother for giving us 2 really nice patio chairs, so Adam and I can enjoy our deck! =)

I'd say it was a good week of celebrating =).

First of June I was able to get away for a reunion with friends from College! It was great fun!

Us on the day we got our house! This is our "back" (more to the side) yard =)

Thought I'd post a photo of where I am today! haha The enthusiasm is kind of dying. But Not much longer :)

Our patio chairs and our nice little deck!!

Updates =)

It's been pretty crazy the last few weeks here! Some days I feel like it will be forever before I have this baby. Then when I sit back and look at it I can't believe how fast the time has actually gone! Before we know it, Lord willing we'll be welcoming our baby. So much has happened this past year and when I think about it Adam and I have been truly blessed, in ways we never expected. We can only thank God for everything he's given us and some of the lessons we've had to learn.

Coming up for us is the big move! We get our house...THIS WEEK! Thursday is the closing date, Adams pretty excited, I think I am too but my emotions are downplayed because I just want to be settled and having this baby! =) It's going to be a busy month for us, but soon we'll be able to enjoy it. Adam and Dad have it all planned out so we can get the house cleaned and ready for us to move in as soon as possible. We're looking at the second weekend in June as a move in date.

We saw our Dr. today and so far everything with the baby is looking good! She's already in the head down position (believe me I feel it these days!!) My Dr. wants me to go on long walks, so she stays that way and that her head will go further down (easier when it comes time for labor) Except I'm in so much pain now I'm not sure I want her head any lower! I can barely get out of bed these days and hardly sleep. I'm always running to the washroom...and by running I mean 20 minutes of trying to get my big belly out of the bed, slowly standing up and getting my legs to work, then walking like I should have a cain to the washroom. My husband is amazing though and he bought me one of those pregnancy pillows! I know it seems like a waste of money and you probably think how is that any better than a normal body pillow...let me tell you, it's made all the difference in the world! I can actually move during the day now! And I sleep a little bit more than I did with less tossing and turning. I recommend this pillow to anyone pregnant who cannot get comfortable. This is all going to be worth it soon and now I'm starting to see the finish line! Only 8 more weeks, I never thought I'd make it this far! =)

The weather has been such a drag lately, rain all the time with about one day of sun thrown in there. I know we shouldn't complain, but it's hard to feel energized when it's so dark and gloomy all the time. Unfortunately the lack of sun and heat hasn't done anything for the swelling I've had. I'm scared what I'm going to look like when we finally do get nice weather! Sunday evening I went to church and was fine, but part way through the message I had to take my sandals off because my feet were hurting a lot. After the service I went to put my sandals back on and one barely fit and the other not at all! I had to go home with one sandal off...it was just a bit embarrassing.

Photos of our Sweetpea and Easter

Our little Madisyn Faith smiling away, I loved how you can see the features so clear. I can count her toes!

I find in this photo she looks just like her father! Actually one of her little toes is going into her mouth and at one point she had both feet in her mouth!

Sticking her tongue out at us already!

We loved the whole experience, it was amazing and I can't wait to meet her!

I've been telling everyone that our little girl is really active and moving all the time, but then when I go to show them how she moves she stops! It's like she knows everyone is watching and waiting for her to give us a show =). I love her little movements and every week they're getting more define and stronger! Today it felt like her little fist ran across my stomach, and I'm starting to be able to feel shapes of her body now!

Unfortunately my feet were swollen today. I'm hoping it doesn't get too bad. Tuesday I go to the Dr. for my monthly visit so we'll see how everything is then.

Adam and I had a wonderful Easter. Our church and a few of the neghbouring churches got togetehr for a Good Friday service which was a blessing and wonderful fellowship! Then we went to his parents for the night and had a lovely supper and visit time with them. Then Saturday morning we headed to my parents place and spent the day with them. Sunday they were having some mmissinories present their work to our church so they came Saturday around supper time and we were able to visit with them which also was a wonderful blesisng. Actually she use to teach my brother and I piano when we lived back in Moncton, so it was really nice seeing their family again.

Now its time I relax and put my feet up, before we start another week.
