Hang in there

I promise an update as soon as I finish my class. I have 5 weeks left! Thank you for continuing to check in!

We are doing very well, Joshua is growing more and more each day, he is starting to eat us out of house and home! He loves to play with balls and cars, every night him and Chris play catch for probably 20 minutes before bedtime. Chris seems to be settling in well to his new career, he is working really long days right now but is getting some great experience! I am doing well, work is busy and school and pregnancy keep me very tired. Our Big Ultrasound is coming up on April 17, Chris says I talk about it everyday, which I probably am but I am really looking forward to it. Unfortunately you will all need to wait until the end of April to find out what we are having because I want to tell my Dad and Wendy in person when they get back from the Mediteranian Cruise! I will send emails to family members in the mean time though! i have started to feel the first signs of movement, some flutters here and there but definitely nothing consistent.

23 Months and Exciting News

Joshua is 23 months old today, one month away from being 2! He has changed so much since my last post, I am so far behind. Thanks to his surgery he is talking a lot more, still working on multi-syllable words and phrases but he is getting there.



Sorry this is short but we also have very exciting news, Joshua is going to be a big brother in September, my due date is September 13, 2009. I am only 6 weeks 4 days along so still very early but we were able to see the hearbeat on Monday so we are going to be optimistic!



Here is the picture from my ultrasound, not much to see but its a picture!

I have completed my quest

Since Joshua has started on sippy cups I have been on the quest for perfect sippy. I have tried so many different styles, looking for one that wouldn't leak. Then add to that one that is BPA free, I was beginning to think that I was never going to find my answer. At a birthday party where there were plenty of kids in attendance I noticed some kids had a Thermos brand sippy cup, the Foogo, and they seemed quite durable and didn't leak. I was however a bit put off by the price, $20.00 for a cup, was just something I was willing to try. However, after cleaning up multiple messes, and then seeing the Thermos Foogo at the store for less than $20.00 I decided to take the plunge and brought one home, and there have been NO LEAKS. Words cannot express how happy this makes me! Now I want to get a couple more and get rid of the other sippy cups that leak, minus the Sigg that we love for travelling with of course!

A Lion, A Turtle, A Cow Oh My!

We met up with our friends from our weekly play group for Halloween, it was so fun to see everyone again and the kids are so big and have changed so much. They also looked absolutely adorable all dressed up and running around.

A pint-sized visitor

A few days before Halloween, we got a visit from my friend Corinna and her adorable baby boy Cameron. We only had a quick visit, but it was great to see them and see how big Cameron has gotten. He is suck a happy simely baby!

Going to the Zoo

We went to the Edmonton Zoo waaaay back in September, for their Free Family Fun Day, I will say that after being at some of the bigger zoos, this one left alot to be desired, but it was still fun to take Joshua! Unfortunately the battery on my camera died part way through so we didn't get a lot of pictures that we would have liked to!

Ready for Fall!
