I truly feel like an old lady. I'm very uncomfortable and yes my hormones are all wacky. This belly gets in the way, it takes me a definate 3 motions to move from one side to the other in bed, and when I get there, my hips ache and sometimes my leg muscles cramp. Yes, the joys of being pregnant. I'm over tired, I'm dealing with heart burn and vomit, and I break out in sweats. I just want to cry.
Even though I feel like this, I already love this baby. I spend lots of time worrying about it. I worry if I don't feel it move sometimes, ahhh worry.
As you may see I'm tired as I write this. I'm emotional. There are days where I'm freaked out. I get the classic "I'm not ready for this responsibility" I get discouraged when I think that it won't be just me and Dave anymore, that can be tough. But then there are moments. Like on Sunday, Mason left his Mom and came up and snuggled his head into my shoulder & neck, and I only thought of nice that was, and how I can't wait to have that all the time. Or tonight when the little ones come and eagerly want to sit with me.
I forgot to mention the clumbsy me. I've always had a clumbsy streak, and so far it hasn't been bad. But tonight I knocked a whole jar of glitter on the floor at church. This nice man cleaned it up for me. He had glitter all over his hands when he was done, but gee it was so kind of him.
I need sleep.
oh, our baby room is painted, and there's a crib and dresser on the way.

Can you smell it?
This evening Dave and I went out with Steve, Christa, Shannon, Kris and Mason, we first watched the guys each hit a bucket of golf balls at the driving range then we went for a stroll at the Floridale Dam. And I could smell it. Fall is in the air. The leaves are showing signs of them changing, and it's not even 8:30pm and it's totally dark out. I like this time of year. Today was beautiful out.
Dave and I became members today in church. We had to get up in front of the whole congregation and read a covenant and then shook the hands of the combined council. We've gone through the interview months ago, but today was the congregational induction I guess you would call it. It is fullfilling really, to be officially apart of this church family. It has taken time, but I totally feel at home in this church, I've met and made some wonderful friends. I also started to attend Adult Sunday School and the women have a seperate class and we're using the book How to be a Mary in a Martha World. It sounds really neat, and something I'll need for the future. Learn how to stop and reflect and find peace in moments.
This week was also a busy week with activities at Church. Tuesday night Adventure Club started, and that was fun. And Wednesday night our small group started up again. Because there are so many of us in the church that are either starting a family or already have a young one we are studying Sheparding a Child's Heart. This is really cool too. It will teach us to look past the outward actions of our children and look at their heart. That's probably not the best way to say it, but it was only the introduction night!
My parents were down on Thursday. They went to the market for the day and then hung out at my place until I got home. I fed them some supper and then we headed to Kitchener for Babies R Us. My parents wanted to buy us a Pack n' Play. Although the one we wanted there, were all sold out, we ended up finding one in Sears that I really liked. We also went to Motherhood, and my mom helped me shop for desperately needed clothes, while my Dad wandered around the different stores that were down there. It was so nice to have them for the evening. We got back home and then they headed home themselves.
The oddest thing happened on Friday, Steve, Christa, Dave and I went to McDonald's for dinner and Amy walked in! It was so shocking to see her, I almost didn't believe it!
Yesterday Dave was in a baseball tournament. I stayed at home, I was very frustrated as I tried to be successful at ordering some Leaf tickets for my brothers and had no luck. Even though I was on ready for 11am when the went on sale!! Then in the afternoon I ventured to paint, and I painted half the nursery! I'll leave the other half for Dave.
Well that is that week in a huge nutshell!

One thing off the list
Tonight Dave and I finally got the stroller/carseat that we needed. We were lucky too because I liked the one that was in Sears, but then clued in that the exact same stroller despite the colours were sold in Babies R Us and this week there was a major sale. So we got it with $60 off! I even like the colour of it.
This weekend was a nice one. Saturday I spent in Orangeville watching my brother in his baseball tournament. His team ended up winning the whole thing, so that was good for them. That night I met Deb and we went to Kelsey's for dinner. Then we went back to her parents place and just talked, it was so nice! I miss our girl chats! Deb.....I won't ever forget your Depends line! That is hilarious!!
Sunday I went to church and it was a great service. It was kick off Sunday and boy it was a exciting service. Afterwards I met Dave in Waterloo along with his work baseball team and had lunch with them. He was in a baseball tournament all weekend. After that we just relaxed for the rest of the day.
Work was a crazy one today. Why is it that Monday's always puts people in a grouchy mood? I had to deal with 2 angry men on the phone. Ahhhh, but I feel I successfully managed both phone calls well and that they ended their days feeling satisfied with my help. Well I hope that is the outcome anyway! Now I'm winding down and feeling very very tired. I'm thinking that I will crawl into bed.
And to that Goodnight.......

A Bug
I've been sick over the past 24 hours. Not sure what is up. But it started yesterday afternoon and then got worse in the evening where I threw up a couple of times. I slept alright, and this morning was sick again which is typical. While at work I started to get that "oh oh I might be sick again" feeling so I'm home now. I didn't want to risk the chance of hurling at work. I slept for a good 3 hours so far, and right now I'm feeling not so bad. The baby is moving quite happily, but when I was at work and it was doing it's dance it made me feel worse! I've got an appt. this Friday with my doctor, I'm really looking forward to it. Now I'm excited to see the doctor, where as before pregnancy, there was no reason to be excited. But now I get to see growth and hear the heartbeat and just get calm nerves when talking with him.
This weekend was great. The weather was miserable, but I had a good time. Friday night Dave and I registered at Babies R Us. It was overwhelming, but fun. I have to go back and register for the small stuff. At the time I didn't think I had to, but then Sally and Christa told me that if I didn't then people would look up the registry, not see those little things and just assume we have them already. So I'm kind of looking forward to going back.
Saturday I spent the day at my parents. Steve, Sally and the girls were out for the day too. We all went up to Ann's place to see Norma. There was a big horse show going on in which she was helping out with, so she toured us around the place for a bit. Then we headed back for lunch and later in the afternoon I went with Krista back up (Krista loves Norm) and she introduced us to all the horses and we fed them and hung out in the barn. It was so much fun.
Sunday Dave and I went to church and then we had Steve and Christa over for lunch. Then they came with us to the O'ville fair. It was fun. I saw Pastor Mark and Kimberly there and Fern! We stayed for a bit in the afternoon and when it poored we went into Walmart and Future Shop and wandered around. Then we went to East Side Mario's for dinner. Where yes, I indulged myself with a funnel cake for dessert. Yum Yum! Then we went back to the fair for the derby. It was freezing. My Dad and Benji and Steve met us and we all sat with them. (Where were you sitting Jay?)
And like I said, yesterday I was sick and I'm now here. I'll probably crawl back into bed for the afternoon. But tonight we're having Mike and Joy over for dinner. Hopefully I'll be fine by then.
With school back in, means all programs at church will be full swing. Adventure club starts next week, and I have to go to a meeting for that tomorrow, plus Christa and I were succesful at organizing and advertising the ladies shopping trip. It's gonna be a busy month!
