38 weeks!

We are soo close to meeting baby M! I can't believe how fast this pregnancy went by! 

I'm 38 weeks! And feeling pretty good! Minus the normal aches and pains and swelling ha! I'm doing alright!

Today little k and I had a busy day! 

It began with a starbucks date! 

Latte for me and cake pop for the little! 

We had a nice coffee date before heading to the OB!

We heard the baby's heartbeat and doctor is happy with the growth, but still decided to do an ultrasound just to check up since I was a little concerned about movement. 

We then headed home for lunch.

We are practicing with the yumbox as much as we can! School begins in Sept! 

Little man has no problem getting to his lunch! He doesn't need any help at all. Now im just trying different foods and making a list of options! What to put in the yumbox is the fun part haha! 

After lunch we played a bit then headed to the ultrasound appointment! 

Little k fell asleep in the car. Good thing I had the stroller! I put him in the stroller and had the ultrasound done as he slept! Ha! 

The tech said littleM looks about 6lbs, fluid is good, movement good. All looks good! So we patiently wait until he is ready to meet us!!!! 

When little k woke he was asking to see baby m on the tv. Haha little did he know that he slept through the whole thing! 

We then waited for daddy to get home from work to have a family night out. Dinner and icecream!!! These days before baby M!!!

Feeling some Braxton hicks tonight!!! Any day now baby M!!!

Last day of work and summertime fun!

Yay! My maternity leave has begun! 

Friday was my last day. I can't tell you how good this morning feels not having to drag myself up and out for the commute into work! 

Friday wasn't really a work day, it was longcoffee breaks and lunch breaks with the great people I work with. Then off early to begin my maternity leave. 

Oh! And the last day of summer camp for little k! He will be off with me for the summer! But then to a new school in 

September so there was some sad goodbyes Friday too :( 

Then the weekend! It was a long weekend, August civic holiday! 

We planned a jammed packed weekend. Could be the last before baby ha! 

First up. A little bbq party at our place. 

We have no fences in our backyard yet so we put up a tent and some tables and had a great time. The kids loved having access to the neighbors play set too! 

Lots of fun! The party went on to 230am! 

The next day we had more fun planned. My aunt and uncles annual summer pool party! 

Ok, being in the water pregnant is the best feeling!!!! When I was floating in the deeper end holding on to the noodle I felt my joints loosen up and not feel so stiff. My body felt Sooo relaxed! 

Always the best time with family! 

Our family is growing Soo much!!! 

With 7 of us grandchildren and almost 6 grandchildren, with many more to come! 

Can't wait to see how filled this pool is in the next 5-10years! Ha! 

The next day we still had a more fun planned! A beach day!!! We found a beach only an hour away. A perfect place with a playground for the kids and clean water to play in! 

The kids had a blast! We will be making this a summer tradition with family. 

Cousin love! And at least 2 more cousins to be joining here :) next year baby Michael will be in this wagon! 

Hope you all had a great weekend too!!!

First day of my maternity leave and patiently waiting for baby Michael! 

We are all so excited to meet him!!! 

36 weeks and Some new things!

36 weeks! Today my OB appt went well. Although I have a lot of swelling on my left side! Doc told me to take it easy! 

I don't have much longer eeeeee could be any day now. Up to 4 weeks to go! Doc wants 38-39 weeks, Eee that's 2 weeks away!!! She also said to pay close attention to baby movements from now on. This little guy moves a lot! So I should be able to notice a decline.  Kristian wasn't as active. But I did notice a decline and that's when I went to the hospital and ended up getting induced! 

Little man starts jk in September so I wanted to make sure I organized most things for him before baby! Because we will all be soo busy. 

I'm going to be trying new lunch ideas since I'll be packing his daily lunches! 

Here are some new buys! 

We will try different foods daily that way I have a go to list of what works! 

I also bought a waffle maker. I'm going to try different waffles with fruit and chia seeds and see if the little man will enjoy that for breakfast or desserts! My sister in law does this for her girls and they love it. 

This week at little mans summer camp it was dino week. He had to show me the board with the pictures. How cute!! 

Although I'm slowing down a lot because I'm bigger and have swollen feet:( wears Trying to make summer as much fun as we can before baby brother arrives!! 

35 weeks weekend fun!

35 weeks!!! Getting Braxton hicks more often. 

I feel heavy!!! And a little more stiff! Swelling in my feet has begun. Grrr! Only a few more weeks of work then it's some time off before baby! 5 more weeks!!!!! And we will be 4!!!!

Friday night we had dinner by the lake 

For the best panzos in town! And little k always needs to order fried calamari at restaurants. His favorite! He also ordered pasta with meatballs and of course just ate the calamari and meatballs and left the pasta. 

Little k loves the walk by the lake, as do we! I can just picture us when the kids are older bike riding or rollar blading as s family down by the lake :D. 

We then headed downtown to watch some Pan Am Entertainment in our city! 

We danced and watched live music and a ballet! 

We had another weekend of late nights! 

Saturday morning we slept in which was great. We then had a bbq party at my brothers place. He had a jumpy castle and trampoline and the kids and big kids jumped the night away ha!!! 

The kids had so much fun together. 

And we adults always entertain eachother. Of course we were the last to leave. My husnand and brother did not want to part ha! Little k fell asleep on the sofa and I was chatting about our next summer party.

Today was another super hot day! Which leaves me limited in what I can do at 35 weeks. So we decided to go to African lions safari! 

Kristian has been asking for over a wel now to go see animals, so he just loved it. 

Up close and personal! 

Very busy and fun weekend!!!!

Patiently waiting for baby M!!!!

Relaxing weekend

We had a very relaxing weekend. 

Battling the stomach flu has not been fun! 

Little man has been in a lot of pain because of it. But we still managed to have a fun filled weekend. 

Soccer fun on TV! So we had a bbq evening Friday night to watch games and the Pan Am openings! 

We had tickets to watch pan am soccer game today but with little man recovering it wasn't s good idea :( 

Little k had very little energy. He played with his friends about 20mins then he was pooped and would just sit in the shade watching. It was heartbreaking seeing his energy so low! :( 

We had a lot of cuddle family time that's forsure! 

Our neighbors have a playground set up which little k loves! So he spent some time there today ha!

We also got him a tiny pool to stay cool in this heat! 

So although we didn't get to all the plans we had, we still had a relaxing fun weekend. 

Little man is feeling much better. Eating much more today than the last 5 days. 

I think he lost some weight so hopefully gets back to himself this week! 

As for me! 34 weeks and feeling pretty heavy!! 

I'm slow these days dreading my last month at work ha! Walking from my parking spot to work this july should be fun! Hurry August!!!! 

Summer camp fun!

Well, 1 day of fun so far. I'll get to that later on!

Monday was the beginning of summer camp!!! 

We had some tears in the morning. Little k told me to go to summer camp and he would go to work haha! I would gladly trade. 

But! He had an awsome day! 

He saw some old friends and met some new friends. 

Summer camp is broken up into 4 fun weeks! 

This week it's learning about different traditions from all over the world.

Next week it's all sports fun! 

Week 3 will be little K's favorite!!! Dinosaur week!!!

And the end of summer camp will be all about water fun and ice cream! 

I can't wait to hear his stories!

Although this week we only had 1 day so far at summer camp :( 

Yesterday after I dropped little k off at school,  I got a call an hour later saying he wasn't feeling well. 

Those pictures were at drop off. An hour later was very different. 

I picked him up and took him home. However, it was also the Mr's minor eye surgery yesterday too!!! 

So we had a crazy hectic day! 

Dropping off my husband at the hospital while I attended to little k throwing up in the car. Good thing a cousin lived close to the hospital and she was happy to have us drop by even tho we were not at our best! We spent a couple hours there while we waited for daddy. 

Our drive home was tough too. 2 sickies in the back seat. 

Stomach bug is no fun! Little k was such a trooper. In the car he would ask for the bag when he had to throw up. 

We spent the evening resting. We were all sooo exhausted! 

This morning I didn't feel so good and stayed home with my boys. We had a much needed relaxed day in to recover. 

Back to business tomorrow! Ha!
