Travel Approved!

I'm not sure what's with me and being so scared of how people will react. I'm so not normally like this. But I procrastinated in telling my doctor about moving to Vancouver because I was afraid of his reaction.

With 5 weeks to go - let's face it, I was running out of time!

I gained one more pound (yay!) and blood pressure is still good (122/80), no sugar or protein in my urine. This is all good news. Baby was moving A LOT, heartbeat was good. Really, can my pregnancy be any easier? (knock on wood)

The moment came, I told him Bryan got a new opportunity in Vancouver and we're moving in 3 weeks. My doctor was so good about it! He just said this is good, and that everything will be ok. Asked me if I found a doctor yet. I told him I needed a referral, gave him the name of the doctor I wanted, and he said he'll take care of everything. I asked him about driving 11 hours, he said I'll be fine. I most likely won't go into labor during the drive, just uncomfortable. He told me to make stops as often as possible to walk around.

So what was I worried about again? Oh yeah, nothing.

Immediately after my doctor's appointment, I found out my life insurance policy that has been on hold (long long long long story) for FIVE months finally got approved. The Universe is funny, it likes to hold back things until I get aligned with a few things. So here I am. I'm now fully insured again (thank God!) and I told Bryan that it's ok if something happens to me now. Serious big sigh of relief.

And Bryan and I went stroller shopping yesterday! We had a date night (again, finally!) and I have to say that this part was pretty fun. I'm so glad we went because I got to actually experience a few things. Have decided to forgo all the advice from the outside and go with our gut. We ended up finding a few we liked that were lighter, easy to set up/fold down, and durable.

Then we headed over to That's Aroma for dinner - they have $10 pasta specials on Mondays and Tuesdays (no, it's not as good of a deal as Chianti), and I have to admit, the food was delicious. They recently switched owners. The service wasn't great (in fact, our server was especially slow), but the food was tasty! I think I got the best deal out of the menu with my seafood spaghetti.

We also managed to go to Canadian Tire and actually had fun there. How? I'll save that for another day. Let's just say that both Bryan and I had a lot of garlic during dinner.

Overall - a big improvement from my mood on Monday. Now that things are in place, I'm really excited about the move now! (The baby will come - one step at a time, ok?)

Humbled by a Contest

About 18 months ago, Bryan and I went through some challenges in our relationship. We were at a point where we were deciding to stay together or separate amicably. It was both a chaotic and peaceful time for us. Chaotic about the unknown, but so much peace that no matter what happened at the end, we had nothing but love for each other. In the midst of it all, I had read about 8 books in 2 months to keep me occupied in the chaos. Then I stumbled onto a book that changed me.  It was a book on my wish list for the past 10 years. Yes, 10 years. And I am not sure what prompted it, but I finally bought the book. I won't go too much into Conversations with God. You can get it and read it if you'd like. It was exactly what I needed at that moment (isn't that always the way?). It gave me the peace I needed to let go of whatever ideas I had about our marriage. And from there, Bryan and I demolished what was, and built something new. A shift happened that I finally truly learned t

And Here He Is...

I haven't had much time to think about writing because well, juggling 3 kids takes up a lot of time! I'm sitting here with maybe 5 minutes to spare before the baby will need attention again, so I better get to typing quick! Each pregnancy has been so different. With Mackenzie, I was miserable for the first 22 weeks with morning sickness, and then I felt like I could be pregnant forever! With Bryanna, I was miserable for the entire 39 weeks. I could not wait for her to get out! With this one, I was miserable for the first 20 weeks with morning sickness, and then great for 17 weeks, and then the last 3 weeks...well, let's just say there were some tears. With it being one of the hottest summers, I could not wait for this baby to get out! Plus the inconvenience of not being able to pick up the girls when I wanted to, or bend down to give them a kiss - I just wanted to be mobile again! So when my first consistent contractions came I was so excited. We even took one last wa

Week 36 - Almost Cooked!

Or as my friend Tara would put it - almost marinated. Baby can come anytime now, but could use 4 more weeks of baking (or at least I could use it). The sleepless nights have begun. I'm feeling more and more uncomfortable as I walk, sleep, and eat. I can only walk so much before I'm out of breath. It takes me a minimum of an hour to fall asleep. And well, I'm feeling pretty nauseous these days, so food is to a minimum. All this is preparing me for when the baby comes, I can't wait! (note sarcasm) Had my baby shower this past weekend and it was great! The ladies in charge did a great job decorating and a lot of people made it out, which was awesome. We bought our first baby item this week - a playpen from Babies R' Us (it was 40% off, I couldn't resist!). Next up on the list is a stroller. STILL trying to figure that out. On top of that, I'm now on the hunt for cloth diapers. Do we just buy the package deal now, or buy a few to try it out to see if we even
