I was all set to lounge around all day, the weather is icky icey and no fun, so sweat pants and cozy books were the big lofty goals for today. Luckily I glanced at the calendar and spotted an eye appointment at the children’s hospital for Becs today. I totally forgot!

Yesterday I saw our baby. The doctor was concerned that I was measuring large. pfft I knew it was just that it was roomy in there So one little heartbeat beating away. Perfect. I am 11 weeks and 2 days. Making July 28 the due date. I was a little nervous since I have been to an ultrasound that was not so perfect. In March I go back for the diagnostic ultrasound.

Here in Nova Scotia, due to funding and their desire to focus on diagnostic rather than gender, they take NO PHOTOS or reveal the sex. I was totally bummed about the no photos. I have Becca’s and Ethan’s tucked away in their baby books. One could in theory, go to the mall and get an ultrasound, but I am so not paying $200 for an ultrasound. So greens and neutral colours it is!

It is not really my thing, not knowing. I am trying to grasp the excitement of not knowing. I plan on knitting a sage green blanket and maybe (time permitting) quilt a little blanket for the little bean.

yuck. I have to go. I so need a pajama day My time on the computer has been so limited this week. grrr.

The long awaited costume reveal!

Have fun with more Wordless Wednesday.

Parts of our country are getting hit by snow, we are drenched with rain. I personally like the rain, however I designed the costume with no rain in mind. Let’s hope it is not raining on Halloween!

I have all of the details for Becca’s costume complete She will be dressing up tomorrow for a little party at the library, so I hope to give you all a preview!

I am suppose to take a treat to the party so I though I would make these Bat Chips.

Friday the kids and headed to the museum .. again … it was great!

Over the weekend, I shopped, designed, sewed, glued, glittered and in all accounts was really really boring.

I have a new post up at Being Savvy Halifax about children’s theatre.

We are off to join some friends at the library.

How was your weekend?

psst Like my Poladroids? hehe Too fun Check it out!

phew. That headache was nasty. I was completely out for the day. Yesterday was better and today will be fantastic!

I am almost done Becca’s costume!! I have one little thing to do! Then I have another sewing project to get done (have the fabric just need to get at it!) Becca’s costume turned out so awesome. YAY me! She tried it on and loves it. It made me feel all warm and fuzzy! I so adore creating things!

Ethan and I are attending Becca’s Preschool Aquatics this morning. She is so excited to share it with us. I felt like a total bad parent with these classes. She swims in the pool for half an hour then the rest of the time she is with her class. So I would take Ethana nd we would run errands or play a the playground. However, what Becca really wanted was for me to watch her in the pool! awww! So last week I made sure to be there to cheer her on and watch and will do so for the rest of the class.

A few people have asked how the packing is going … ha ha ha. Packing? What packing? I made a promise to myself that I would not get overwhelmned by it all and sucked into it paying little attention to the rest of my world. So November 1st, I will start but the kids, our friends, our activities, will take president over silly old packing. I have a month where we have the apartment and the house (grrr evil lease), so I have plenty of time, beside J has finals to distribute and mark as well as all that other end of semester professor jazz.

I am however done most of my Christmas shopping. I do have a few things to square away, complete etc and stocking stuffers to take care of. I am so glad this is the last year that I will be moving in December! sheesh!

Thank you for all your support concerning the Savvy Source! I am so excited about the project. In fact I have a new post up today about choosing a dollhouse, check it out!

Wow … Hi Again!

I totally got buried in that list was I was going on about last week. I have good news however! I have emerged from the to do list truimphent! I rule the list! Booyah!

Now I have company for two weeks.

See ya!

hehe … I am sure I will pop in. I mean come on, I am so into you guys. I cannot even fathom two whole weeks.

I have been writing, sewing, crafting, decorating for Halloween. In fact I have Becca’s so cute costume 85% done! All I have is some finishing touches to complete once my Dad’s visit is complete. I am so happy with how everything is all coming together.

My weekend was crappy. I was in a foul mood, after learning that the managers of this apartment building were having an “Open House” from 12-4pm Saturday and Sunday to show our apartment. And when did they inform us you might wonder. Oh yeah Friday NIGHT … right before I am about to open a beautiful bottle of wine. Instead of sipping sweet nectar form the gods, I spend Friday night cleaning my apartment, because like my husband so sweetly says “Damn you woman for having pride!” (in jest of course!) So I was all foul all weekend, bitter that for three months they are going to be biatches and show our apartment at a whim. So seriously, my apartment, although I do try, is not “show to strangers every nook and cranny” ready on a whim EVERY DAY.

Is yours?

Wait maybe don’t answer that unless you have small children and you are human…k?
