I can't believe how fast time goes by. This past weekend was wonderful. First of all the weather couldn't have been better. On Friday I went to Orangeville in the afternoon and visited with Deb. Then I met with my family and had supper out with them at Harvey's. I haven't been to Harvey's in quite some time, I really enjoyed it. Then I went to BookLore to tell Tracey my news. That was funny, because she asked me what was new. I told her I was going to have a baby. Her reaction was so funny. She asked me if I was pregnant now?? hahaha I laughed and told her "no, but maybe I'll be tomorrow!" She was in shock.
Saturday was a busy day of running to Orangeville for Brooke's birthday party, then back to Elmira for Mason's birthday party. They both were a success and they both were adorable. Brooke was especially adorable in her cute danty dress!
Sunday was fun too. Dave and I both went to church for our final Sunday School. I was with the children downstairs while he was upstairs learning how to live a spartan life (financial wise). Then Steve and Christa skipped normal church with us and we headed to the beach for the day. We first went and bought some meat and buns to have a picnic lunch there. It was a bit cool there. None of us went swimming, but Christa and I ended up with pretty heated burns on our legs. Although mine are better today. Tomorrow they will probably be really itchy.
Last night I went to the church for a women's ministry night. Our church never really had a women's ministry so they started one and last night was the kick off. It was so much fun. We were all asked to bring a salad of some kind and a hat with a story behind it. There was like 50 women that showed up ranging from teenagers to 80yrs of age. I was asked to read the scripture of the night which was cool and I sat with some ladies who I didn't know so well so it was definately a fun night. Especially seeing some of the older ladies who I could adopt as Grandma's in their special hats, and hearing the stories about their hats. It was so neat.
My hubby is sick with the flu, he's been off for the past two days, so I'm taking good care of him. hehehe

I love this band
Ok it's not a secret how much I love U2. I'm listening to them right now, and their song Miracle Drug. I pulled out the words to see if I could make a meaning out of the lyrics, and I'm still amazed at how spiritual they still are. I pray that in the end with all their searching, that they find God. I'm in love with this song, it's on repeat! hahaha.
So I've had a bit of a rollercoaster weekend. Saturday I cleaned the house thoroughly. Actually I got up first thing and ran to Waterloo to Zehrs, then cleaned the house. Then after that, Dave and I went to Kitchener to Toys R Us. We needed to get a couple of gifts for Brooke and Mason who are turning 1 next week. While there we bought a bassinet :) It made me happy to finally get something for Baby. I even put it together when I got home. It's cute with lambs on it. Then we went out for the evening to a buck and doe for Jason and Amanda who go to our church, and we're going to their wedding this July. It was fun, I love these types of events.
Whoa I forgot that on Friday night Steve, Christa, Dave and I went to the movies to see The Break Up. I didn't like it so much. While there Cindy and Lesa were there too, so it was a group event. I bought I big Diet Coke thinking that Dave would share. Well he wasn't drinking any. I was drinking lots. I had to go pee so bad near the end of the movie. But I was stubborn and didn't want to leave the movie to go. So I sat uncomfortable for a bit, until I felt something. It was an odd fluttering feeling just below my belly button. I've never felt anything like that before. It was a cool feeling. I was thinking that it could have been Baby. Then I talked to my Mom about it and she too believes it was Baby. Because my bladder was extra sensitive to any movement, I think Baby was making those flutters! I haven't felt anything since, but still it's neat to think that is what it was.
Sunday my family came over for the day. Steve wanted to watch Australia vs. Brazil on the big screen, and because it was Father's Day, we did a special lunch. It was nice having them all over. Then after Steve and Sally left, my parents, Denise and Benji and I went out walking around the area. We looked in 3 model homes which were pretty nice. But after they all left I got really sick. I had a really bad headache. And Dave was a sweetheart and got me McDonald's for supper. The first time during this pregnancy, Mcdonald's did not stay with me. I ate it, then slept a bit, got up, told Dave I didn't feel good. And out came everything! It proceeded with continuous vomiting that night. I didn't get any sleep. So I stayed home from work on Monday and slept all day. I've never slept that much during a day I don't think!
Today is Wednesday. Val and I escaped the office and ran across the field to Tim Hortons. I got an iced-cap which made me very giggly. Before this had happened, at lunch we saw a ground hog and Cindy said she was going to beat the sh#$ out of it and show people how she can kill rodents. Well after my iced-cap, I recalled this comment and got the visuals happening, and I couldn't control my laughter. I pictured her rolling around the lawn with a "baby"(none the less) ground hog, wrestling it! Ahhhh to work in an office. This is a typical day there. I can't explain the experiences of one, and if you've seen Office Space, which I can relate too, you may not understand it either!
Tomorrow I will be 16wks (4 months) pregnant. I'm still wearing my normal clothes. And some of them are still loose on me. Dave said he's stepped on the scale and he's gained 11 lbs. Poor guy, he's putting the pounds on for me, as I think I'm still struggling. Well no, I've had a good couple of weeks overall, so I think I must be up. I'm not looking forward to the "in-between" stage where maternity clothes don't fit well and my clothes just don't fit at all. I hope that I will wake up one morning and just have a big belly! hahahaha, that way I won't have to go through that in-between stage! What a dream.

It's been a tough week around here. Sunday we got a call from Christa telling us that Sam (Steve's cousin and good friend) was killed in a motorcycle accident. I only knew Sam briefly, first meeting him at Steve and Christa's wedding rehersal as he was in the party with Dave. He was a very funny guy! I would then see him occasionally afterwards at their place. He was only 27 years old. Steve is having a difficult time dealing with it. I have been trying to encourage Dave to call him, ask him if he wants to throw a ball around and so on, but Dave says No! Ahhhh. Guys are wierd! Tonight we went to the visitation, and I had a hard time keeping it together. There's something when you see a guy cry. Now Steve wasn't crying, but he openingly talked about how he was feeling, and he reached out and got a hug from Dave, and that touched me.
I've been thinking this week about how shocking this all is, and even I can't believe that I'll never see Sam again. There's a lot of younger guys who looked up to Sam that are struggling with this same fact, and I just pray that in all of this, may all these young people who were so impressionable, turn to God rather than get angry with him. Sam was a christian and I believe he's with God now, and that even though it's hard to believe, it was God's timing that Sam be with him now. It's impossible for us to understand why God does things, but because of our faith, we know that he is in control and we need to trust him. All that being said, it's only human to get frustrated with God. He does love us, and he offers us amazing grace.
So tomorrow I endure one more afternoon, as I will go with Dave to the funeral. I've been to one other funeral for a guy who left at a young age and it was tough, this one too will be very tough.

Windy Friday
So I'm sitting here at work, with nothing to do, only to watch the minutes count down to noon since it's my half day. I don't want to start anything new because, well I don't have anything to start.
I'm still sick. Last night I was doing fine. I ate some fruit and crackers, then went to a baseball game. Afterwards we all went to Dairy Queen to have dinner, I had a yummy hamburger and onion rings. We all splurged and had ice cream after. On the drive home, I was complaining to Dave, saying "ohhhhhh I ate way too much." When in reality, it wasn't too much, as I didn't have dinner before hand. Then when we pulled up to the house, I got out of truck and told Dave "oh dear, my dinner is not going to stay for long." He just smiled and said I should just go lay down. Well I just made to our bathroom upstairs when the whole meal came out! The only thing I thought about was, "man what a waste of money" .
I'm wearing flip flops to work today, just got an email from one of the executives of the company to remind all of us that Flip Flops are not allowed at work, they are for campgrounds and beaches, not a business. Jeepers! It's casual day man!
Well I have 13 mins left, then I'm going home, posting this on my blog, have lunch and then find the local MDS clinic to get my blood tested.
Tomorrow I'm off to a Blue Jay game with Dave, Benji and Steve. I'm looking forward to it. I got the tickets from my boss for free, and they are really good seats apparently.
Hope you all are having a good day!

Blessings
This past weekend was a beautiful reminder of how many blessings God has given me. He showed me in my friends, in people I met and in the speaker who shared with us. I'm a very blessed girl.
I just wanted to thank those who took care of me on Saturday when I was feeling my worse. It meant a lot to me. It's public now, I'm carrying a little child in me. Just the other day I was reading Psalm 139 where it says :
For you created my inmost being, you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made, your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
It's almost impossible to comprehend that God has this little baby in his sight before I even knew Dave. I'm excited to see God's plan now unfold for this child before our eyes. It's hard to know God's plan for my life, but now I can watch how he unfolds the plans for this little one.
I heard baby's heart beat on Friday and it was so exciting! And I am starting to see Dave get more excited, he rubs my tummy and he makes me giggle when it comes to the whole name issue.
It's time for me to go to bed!
My new Casting Crowns cd is so uplifting! Thanks for the recommendation!
