3 months till EDD!!!
Its officially 3 months till my due date!!! I feel like I have so much to do still. There is tons of work in the Nursery to do. Why do I have to like things just so? It makes for a lot of work and perfection..lol. Well I did order a car seat, pack N play, swing and changing pad yesterday!! That makes me feel great!! Then this morning I ordered her a beautiful custom made crib set off of Etsy!! I will give you a sneak peek into that today. I cant wait to get her room done :)

Alot of life drama!! bit of a reflection!
I am 26 weeks today!!! That means that I am officially in the 2 digits. My daughter will be here is under 100 days.... 98 to be exact!!! Something about that seems all so exciting and totally overwhelming at the same time. Dont get me wrong I cant wait to have my baby in my arms and be looking down into her eyes, but that is in just over 3 months...... I still have a nursery to do for her and buy pretty much EVERYTHING!! I feel so unprepared.
This year has been a real roller coaster of emotions. We started off the year with the knowledge that I was pregnant and going to possibly have a baby by the middle of the year. Well that possibly is looking more and more like reality.
We just recently had an unexpected death in the family. My grandfather passed away last week and we had the funeral for him this past Saturday. He was 87 years old and really healthy as a horse. This came as a surprise the day we got the phone call that he had had a heart attack. A heart attack of all things were not on my radar of ways this man could or would pass. True to that, yes he had a heart attack but not from any blockages but from a "tired" heart. He was a man of many passions and past times. He would rarely be found relaxing or resting, there was always something to be done. So as sad as his passing was the cause was as fitting as any.
We have also been on a really bumpy Roller Coaster ride to do with finances. That is a story that I prefer not to get into too many details but just know it has played a huge part of our lives this year.
I cant wait for the light at the end of the tunnel and some of these journeys.

Pregnancy Survey
How far along? 25 weeks today!
Size of Baby? 13.5 inches and just over a pound and a half! About the size of a cauliflower
Total weight gain: I know some of you might start to get angry, but still 0!! :)
Maternity clothes? Still only need pants
Sleep: Still pretty good. I keep having my vivid dreams which interupts my quality of sleep and I usually wake up once in the night. Pretty good though.
Miss anything? Cant think of anything right now.
Movement: Tons and Tons!! I have felt Bug, Mark has felt Bug, We have both seen bug move.... So cool!! Totally one of the best parts of pregnancy for sure! (Bug is moving as I type) Oh yeah and Bug's favorite spot to kick or punch is my Cervix. I can tell you that is not comfortable, she hits a nerve every time and sends a shock, OUCH!!
Food cravings: Not a whole lot lately!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Yes!!! I still throw up about 2ce a week. Smells affect me, or if I eat too much, and it seems like most days I am getting nauseous again.

Labor signs: Absolutely none!! Cervix is still long and closed!!!
Symptoms: I have been having some intense pressure, and round ligament pain lately.
Belly button in or out? In, I am not sure if it'll ever be anything else!
Wedding rings on or off? Still on!!
Happy or moody most of the time: These past couple of weeks I have gone through a lot of sadness. I felt weepy all the time. That seems to have somewhat gone away now.......... hopefully.
Looking forward to: I am looking forward to having a bigger more noticeable belly. It has changed for sure but I want everyone to know I am pregnant!!

U/S and Reveal
I had my Ultrasound on Friday morning, both my mom and Mark came. It went well. First I had mark come in to do all the necessary medical measurements and then my mom was able to come into the room and check out Bug. The Tec was fairly nice, she let me know what she was measuring and showed me everything on the screen. She said that bug was like a gymnast all curled up with its legs over its head, sucking on its knee. Bug wasnt being super cooperative and she wasnt sure she got all of the measurements. Well turns out the dr today told me she did and everything looked GREAT. I am growing a perfectly healthy baby. I cant be happier :) Well maybe I can a tad bit and here's why.... Both Mark and I decided that we were and are going to be celebrating everything about this pregnancy. So we wanted to do a small gender reveal party for close friends and family. We wanted the tec to write down the gender of our sweet bug on a piece of paper and have a friend stuff a cupcake with pink or blue icing. Well this tec said she could not do that but if she could tell the gender that she would have to tell us. Well God had a different plan, he wanted it to be done OUR way. Thank you Lord. We were not able to find ut the gender at this ultrasound, so when we left I called a private place in Kelowna and they were able to fit us in in the perfect time slot for our day. When we got there the Tec began the U/S and was able to tell the gender. She did not show us but instead wrote it down on a piece of paper like we were hoping for. She was Great!! She showed us Bugs chubby cheeks, long legs, big feet, and even a tuff of hair..... So cute and what a wonderful experience.
Saturday came and so did the Gender reveal party. Both Mark and I had no idea what we were having, only the baker (a close friend who was there that day) knew. At the reveal I had people guess boy or girl and grab a prop depending on that guess to take a group shot. I really wanted to record who guessed what. Well my husband was certain bug was a boy, and I had a huntch Bug was a girl. It seemed that most people went with my husband and guessed boy. There were only 4 people including myself to guess girl, the rest (14ish) guessed boy. I thought there is no way all these people can be wrong I must be wrong. Well turns out that I wasnt and we are having a little GIRL!!! I am so thrilled. It took a good couple of days for that one to sink in.
I have since gone clothes shopping for her and have had a blast doing so :)

A bug from within!!
Mark and I just got back from Langley today. We had to go down for his work and had a great time. We got to go to a couple baby stores, love doing this!! We didnt buy anything too exciting just a snuggli carrier. Mark told me he would wear baby. I cant wait to see this :) We were driving home this morning and shortly after leaving Bug decided he/she wanted some attention!! Bug began "swimming around" (not too uncommon have felt this for a little while now) but then proceeded to "beat" me up. He/She was super strong today. I can say officially for the first time I felt a kick (or punch) and it startled me each time. I LOVE IT!!!
