Well, this is the fourth time I have tried to post an update and it keeps getting deleted, by my internet failing or by my clicking the wrong button... needless to say - I am getting a little annoyed!
Here goes... initially this was a really long update, I will do my best to ensure it has all of the same info as the previous three that I typed, but I can't guarantee that I will spend as much time typing it! haha
Well, we just got back from our Cape Breton Vacation! We left on July 10th after my doctors appointment, and returned yesterday, on the 20th! One would think that with that much time, we would have time to relax and just enjoy being "home"... HA - not us! We did enjoy being home, but as usual, we were busy and running around like crazy people the entire time!
OK, so for part of our vacation we had an excuse. We arrived on a Thursday and my shower was on Sunday... so Thursday to Sunday was spent preparing numerous things. My mom and Martha did an awesome job planning the shower.. it was just perfect! We had about 60 people attend, and it was so much fun! Everyone was so generous... I can't even begin to explain the amount of gifts that we recieved... it is just out of this world. Let me just say that before the shower.. I had pretty much just a couple of outfits.... that I had bought myself... and the bedding, and the shopping that I had wrote about earlier in May... Now, after the shower, I literally only NEED a dresser/change table and a rocking chair.. well, and a couple of little things.. but that is mostly it. I was just overwhelemed! For the first time in my life, I dind't know what to SAY when I was thanking everyone.. it was just too much! Also, the two items that we now need (rocking chair/change table) - we received enough money to buy them! It was just out of this world.
I was, of course, busy being the "pregnant lady" at the shower! HAHA so I didn't really have time to take a lot of pictures.. but I do have some to share...
So, after our fantastically wonderful baby shower, we decided that we needed to buy another car to get all the baby stuff home in! HAH.. Well, not really, but we did need another car - so we thought- why not look at some private sales here in Cape Breton - Sure enough, we found "the car". We wanted a car with a hatch, or a small SUV (small = not a pig on gas).. and 4 wheel drive. Well, we found someone selling a 2001 Subaru Forrester... PERFECT! We thought - now.. what is wrong with it? Well, turns out - nothing! We went to see it, and it matched what we were loking for to a tee! So we got it all checked out, talked to a few people who knew the car, and bought a car!! So, now we don't have to worry about the second car - we wanted to have another one when the baby was born, because otherwise life would just be too confusing! haha..
As it turns out - we DID need two cars to drive home to fit all our baby stuff in - that gives you a picture of what it was that we received!!
I don't have a picture of the car, but I will google! Here is what it looks like except ours doens't have the grey on the bottom: it's All black:
so after those crazy 7 (out of 10) days home, we headed over to Glace Bay for Amy and Jeff's wedding. Amy is BJ's cousin - and the wedding was beautiful. Their two little girls were their flower girls, and in spite of the dark clouds and rain in the morning - the day was beautiful (and the rain cleared up!). Here are a few pictures from Amy and Jeff's big day:
So, this update was long, just like the others! This time, I am posting, and then editing to add pictures because I am NOT loosing it again!
Baby O'Brien is moving around like crazy... it is so neat to see my belly moving around to form all different shapes! I can even see parts of him/her "sticking out" - but I still can't tell a hand from a foot from a head from a bum! LOL... Oh, and did I mention that the baby rarely kicks now - it must be running out of room.... but somehow it manages to curl up in the perfect position to kick my ribs every night! HAHA... But I wouldn't trade it for the world!! I can't believe I only have 10 weeks left... It makes me sooo excited to meet him/her, but so sad at the same time... I am so enjoying this little one inside of me! :)
