I'm an auntie to another niece!

Niece number 3 made her way this morning! Mama was in labour for 15 hours! Baby E was born at 5:12am weighing 8lbs 6oz. Pure cuteness!!!

Yesterday was April fools day and my sister pulled a prank! She got both me and my sil. Saying baby E was born in the morning and she didn't have time to call us. ha! We fell for it!!! Then at her OB appt yesterday afternoon, her doc sent her to the hospital to induce labor. Not a April fools joke haha. 15 hours later she came!

I went to the hospital first thing this morning to see her!

Ahhhh I love her!!!!!

Cousin love

Yesterday night I babysat my nieces! It was fun. We were dancing and singing sipping juice and eating sweets haha.
It's soo fun watching my 2 year old niece play with Kristian. He looks up to her and follows her around haha. She was teaching him how to count and showing him the colors of the blocks. Kristian was copying everything she was doing. She was drinking juice so I gave him some too... He wouldn't put the sippy cup down and drank the whole thing.

I love that they are close in age and play together. They are adorable!!!

Fun weekend, zoo, lake and eating out

This weekend was great! The weather has been amazing the past week, and will continue to be this week! It's awesome and everyone is enjoying it!

Friday I went to the zoo with my nieces. They had soo much fun. My older niece got to feed a lama and my baby niece was loving the animals. We had a great time and the weather was great!

Saturday my husband and I decided to spend the whole day out in the city. We started with our favorite breakfast place then headed to a park, (we went to the same park I was at Friday, and someone had burned it down early saturday morning. How sad!!!) we also went for a walk on lakeshore and ended our evening at a sushi restaurant we use to always go to in our old area.

Baby K loves being outdoors. He loves looking around and absorbing all the new things around. He hate just sitting in his carseat when we are at restaurants. He wants to be able to look around and be part of the conversations. Haha

He must have had a lot to think about because he has been sleeping much better too.

The weather this week will be awesome too! I'm looking forward to going for a walk everyday!

Hope you had a great weekend too!!!

Blog post - Beautiful week, shopping and playdate

Today was such a beautiful day!

So was yesterday! Yesterday my nieces came over for a visit. My 18 month old niece was having so much fun dancing and singing, she has the most adorable personality. She was copying everything I was doing, and she just loves her baby cousin.

The sun was shining so bright today, I love that spring came early! Today baby and I went out for a walk and went out to shop a little too.

While out shopping today at homesense I saw 2 chairs that I like, I have the perfect spot in my bedroom for one. Hmm!

I love homesense. Today I bought 2 new pots!

Yesterday I tried putting baby boy in the seat attachment of the stroller, see the pic below. He is wayy too small for it still. Although this seat can recline so he could be in it very comfortably if I use it.

Hope you all had amazing weather today too!

Third Trimester brings on more change

Third Trimester changes are creeping up. I feel my joints getting looser, my foot size increasing, my mood swings getting crazier, and my nesting stage completely taking over. And the dreams, ha! they are getting crazier! I keep dreaming of the hospital losing or switching my baby, boo! However, in my dreams my delivery is quick and painless haha, that part of the dream is good.

On the weekend I went to buy a couple pairs of comfy shoes... My regular size was 7 1/2 I'm now in a 9! I've seen cute shoes online that I wanted to get, but I really need to try things on with my new size and all. But many of the store I went to don't have what I want!

So for now I bought these 

 And these, which I used as slippers yesterday haha!

I have 3 events this month, and with belly growing like crazy every week, I need to see what outfit will work pretty much a couple days before each event. This will be fun. Hoping some cute dresses I have still fit. 

I'm getting really excited and I can't wait to put the baby stuff together, just need to make sure I keep this little one from claiming things as her own haha! I need to make sure my furbaby gets a lot of love too even when baby comes. Maybe we will get her one of those big ceiling to floor scratch posts for the basement as a gift.

Love Zoe!

Today is back to school for all the kids! My SIL sent pics of my niece heading off to GR 5!
Look how cute she is in her uniform! Adorable!

A Minnie and Mickey Mouse Birthday!

This weekend was Baby M's big bday bash! My little niece was sooo adorable! I think her first birthday was a great success! 

Above my sister over at http://www.amandascookies4hope.blogspot.com/ made the cupcakes. How cute are they! They are mini mouse cupcakes. too cute!

First we went to a playground where the kids ran wild and so did the adults haha! They had slushies and it was so funny to see the adults get very hyper then crash from the sugar, worse than the kids haha.

Little M hugs all her friends, adorable!

Then we we headed to my brothers place for a BBQ.

Mickey Mouse was there! :)

Baby M was a little shocked and wasn't sure how to react haha!

We had a great time. Happy First Birthday Baby M!! We love you!!!!

Beautiful Day! Welcome New followers :)

Ahh the weekends! Hope you all are having a great one!

We were planning to go to the beach today because the weather is so nice. But we weren't prepared at all. So instead we went for a morning breakfast and down to the city for most the day. I also got to stop buy the farmers market for some fresh veggies. :) When I went to the farmers market yesterday for fruit, I also bought a Berry Pie. I'll make that tomorrow, it looks delicious!

I also want to send a BIG THANK YOU to all my GFC and newest GFC followers!

Hope you enjoy my blog!!

 

My little niece waiting for her bottle. :)

Yesterday I went to visit my nieces, they are just too adorable! Love them! I'll be seeing them again today. They make my day!

Sushi and babysitting...

 Yesterday I met a good friend for sushi, she is preggo too (read her blog here :)
We ate soo much! We discussed our aches and pains and how we can barely roll out of bed. haha!
Then we went for a short stroll in Toys R us to get nursery ideas, we both are having boys! It was short because we were soo tired from that big meal.

They didn't have cucumber avocado rolls and I must have looked sad about it, so the waiter gave us 2 handrolls of cucumber avocado on the house. MMM there was like a whole avocado in there. mm mm



My friend surprised me with these cute gifts too! Baby K is getting soo many gifts already!! :)

In the evening I went over to visit my mom and sister. My sister made me dinner and we also had some food from my grandmother. Ever had this before?

 It's called Menestra, and it's pretty much mushy bread and a bunch of beans and veggies. Looks weird but it's delish!!

We also had wings and broccoli, Yum broccoli!

My SIL dropped off my niece so we can babysit for a couple hours. Ok there was 3 of us, my mom, my sister and me.... And we made my mom change and feed her cause we were struggling ahhah. She is so squirmy and want to crawl everywhere.  She's strong too!! A glimpse of my future with baby K ahhaa. 

She does have the most adorable personality though and makes us laugh! She's 9 months and she can give kisses, blow kisses, she rocks her baby dolls, she says "HI" and "What" and sounds like she says "Thank You" but we can't tell ahha. The funniest this, is that she'll drop all toys for a cell phone, she took our iphones and puts 2 thumbs on it like shes typing. Crazy!

Love her!

A Busy Week Giving and Helping.

What a busy week! I didn't blog much last week because I've been hardly home! Thursday night my sister, mom and I were babysitting my nieces. It was so much fun. We baked while listening to Christmas music and then watched movies!
Baby M is sooooo adorable!!! It was so cute having my mom showing my sister and I how to feed her and how to change her diaper and clothes haha! (putting clothes on a baby is hard!)
The best part was that I actually got her to sleep in my arms. I loved it. I can't wait to start a family of my own! I know God has a plan so I'm not going to worry too much about it, but I really can say I can't wait to be a mom! (Although from what mommies say, my babysitting experience was good because baby went home and I got a full nights sleep :) lol
That night we also took my other niece A with us to deliver our baskets for the family we sponsored to the church. She was so happy to help us and loves hanging out with her aunts. :)

Our church also needed lots of help with delivering these gifts today. So we woke up early, grabbed our coffees and headed to church this morning.
I'm so happy we had my husband and my sister's fiance with us to help with the heavy boxes. They got right into it and were so quick and organized. Our delivery crew rocked!
We were able to do 7 deliveries in 2 hours and the organizer named us her #1 santa's little helpers! ahah!

The families were so grateful and happy to see us. It was such an amazing feeling.

Hope you all are having a great weekend! I'm finishing up my Christmas shopping for the rest of the weekend!
