Because Caleb has a very high foot, we've been unable to put regular shoes on him until now!
He was not impressed with us at all! "Get These off MOMMY!!""
"I mean it! I'm not happy!"
"I'm mad at you Mommy, stop laughing at me"

Caleb's New Shoes
Because Caleb has a very high foot, we've been unable to put regular shoes on him until now! He was not impressed with us at all! "Get These off MOMMY!!"" "I mean it! I'm not happy!" "I'm mad at you Mommy, stop laughing at me"

The Past Week - A Blur
I can't believe we're back to a Monday already! Both Dave and I have the day off, so it's nice. We aren't doing much, we're going to his parents place tonight for dinner. Caleb has a pretty bad cold, so today seems to be a long one.
Last week went by just so fast, I was so tired by Friday! Tuesday we had Dave's parents in for dinner. Then that night the baby sitter called and couldn't take Caleb on Wednesday due to a family emergency. So Dave stayed home with him, and I starte work at 7am so I could leave early. Dave was going to Buffulo that night for a hockey game, so he needed me home by 3. I got there and then took Caleb to his Valentine's party that our sitter had arranged with a friend. There, Caleb was not happy. In fact he threw his first series of temper tantrums! I had no idea how to deal with them, so it was quite embarrassing, especially when everyone thinks he's the perfect baby! HA! By the time I got home I was exhausted! But Shannon called and was in a pinch and needed someone to watch Jaden while she took Mason to swimming. I said no problem, and it wasn't. Just got a taste of what two will be like! Caleb was a little rough with her, but she's a tough babe!
Ahhh. Thursday. Hmmm, I don't even know what was going on that night. I just know I missed Survivor! I took Friday off because it was my half day. I had to get my car serviced, and then I had an ultrasound in the morning. It was a whirlwind day, because Dave and I also were preparing to go away for the weekend. The ultrasound went well. However, she didn't let me empty my bladder half way through, so the pictures we got weren't so great. But it still was amazing! I have a feeling we're having a girl. I say this only because this one is measuring a bit smaller than Caleb (thank heavens!) and the movements I feel are a much different experience. But, we're going to wait and keep the sex a surprise again.
OH YA! Thursday was Valentine's day and Dave took me to the Keg for dinner. It was very special and yummy. I was so stuffed. He also got me a box of chocolates and a chocolate bar, he knows me so well!
This past weekend we attended a Couples retreat away at MBC. It was really nice to get away. Dave has never been to MBC before, so he wasn't sure what he was getting into! I just was looking forward to the food! ha ha ha! There was a life coaching couple there that held a few sessions on how God intended marriage. It was really neat, we found out that Dave and my true colours are complete opposite (not much of a surprise to us) and we did a little bit about our Love Languages. It was a great weekend. We met some really neat couples. It was a close and personal retreat as there was only about 6 couples who attended. But I got a massage from a MT who came in and we got to spend some quality time alone with eachother. And as always the food was so amazing! Mmmmm mmmmm good! My parents were great, they came and stayed at our place to watch Caleb. It was so great.

Yes It's Friday!
I made it through an entire week! Hooray! I've been feeling good. After last week, I ended up getting my prescription filled for Diclectin, and I've been taking it ever since and things seem much better. Plus I have my energy back, although I do get tired really easy. I have had a couple of 20 minute naps after supper. Monday night I went to the pool to do some laps. Because I've been having pelvic pain with this pregnancy, the doctor warned me not to do much walking in the snow as that can aggrevate that region, so I headed to the pool to get that recharged feeling. I haven't done laps in a very long time. I went with the idea that if I can do 15 laps, then I'm o.k. Well let me tell you. After only 4, I thought I was going to die! So I took it slow, by lap #8 I thought well, if I manage to do 10, then that isn't so bad. At 10, I looked at the clock and only 15 mins had gone by! So I did my 15 and then a few really leisure laps, I felt so great after that!
Tuesday was a day full of mixed feelings. My mom emails me eveyday at work, and that day she emailed the good news of the sale of their house in town, but then she said they would look for something and move off the farm. I knew all along that this was plan, but when I actually read those words, it started to really sink in. I've lived my whole life there, and to know that one day soon my connection to it would be gone is really sad. I get quick flashbacks of all the wonderful memories I've had there, and I've cried over it a few times already. Just thinking of it now brings a tear to my eye. Anyway, that night I got home and talked to my Dad on the phone and I then learned that Dr. Lindsay passed away that morning. Again, my heart ached. We knew this day would come too, but just seems so much!
Caleb is walking all over now, still there is often the occasion to crawl because he's in a hurray, but day by day he progressively goes further. It's exciting! He's a funny guy too. He now laughs at me when I say in a serious tone "No", it takes everything in me not to laugh when he laughs. But persistance is the key, and he'll learn what he can and can't touch! His new game is to stand behind me while I'm sitting on the floor and have me shake my head, and then he shakes his head then laughs himself to the floor! He also grabs certain shaped toys, puts them in my mouth and squeals with delight when I spit them across the room!
Tonight is a girls night for me! I can't wait. I'm going to see Fool's Gold with 4 of my friends. Then tomorrow I think we're going to head to O'ville, depending the weather will be o.k. Not much planned for Sunday, but that's alright! I've been feeling the baby move. Although my mind plays games on me, this movement is different than with Caleb. So I second guess if it is in fact the baby or not. But with in the last 2 days, the movement has gotten stronger. I go for my ultrasound next Friday, I'll be almost 20 weeks! Almost 1/2 way there! Amazing!
Well that's all folks....
