Week 30 - I'm the Smallest Week 30 I Know

Even though I feel huge, and I'm waddling like no one's business, and in my mind I'm so much bigger - when Bryan took a picture the other day, I'm so much smaller than what I had pictured in my head.

I posted the picture on facebook and people thought I looked cute. I started looking at other mama's 30-week bump. I look like I'm at 22 weeks. I'm not sure if it means it's time for me to eat more, or this will just turn out to be a tiny baby.

Doctor's appointment next week - I'm sure if it's something of concern, they will say something. But as of right now, I'm the smallest week 30 pregnant woman I know. The bump is still barely there! (I realize when I said smallest, I really meant the bump, not the size of my body)

I am starting to get tired again. And I'm also starting to get a bit nauseous. Almost like first trimester but not quite as bad. Here's to the third trimester!

So I know I said a couple of months ago that I was excited about my 30's. But after hanging with my step-daughter and seeing how much people have grown around me, it suddenly hit me that I'm...umm..THIRTY. Holy crap! How the heck did this happen? I don't know what I thought 30 would feel like, but I don't feel it! I thought I would feel more grown up, that I would act more grown up. But all I feel is I'm still a kid, I'm still that 21-year old with loads of insecurities sometimes, and have my selfish moments. Will I feel more "grown up" once I become a mom? I guess only time will tell :)

Only 10 more weeks to go - it's hard to believe we have to fit in 3 events, 1 bridal shower, 1 baby shower, 1 goodbye party, 2 packign parties, move, and give birth in those 10 weeks. Wish us luck!

Birthday Again? Now You're Ten!

Dear Mackenzie, There was a time where I really contemplated whether I wanted to have kids. Your 2 older sisters seemed enough, and so I sat on that decision for a few years.  When they say you're never actually going to be ready, they weren't wrong. We think we have all the ducks in a row and life experiences that prepped us into being great parents. But honestly, no books, no workshops, no seasoned moms could prepare new parents on what is to come. And so, whether I was ready or not, I woke up over a decade ago and thought, "I think having a baby might not be a bad idea".  Then somehow, we thought it'd be a good idea to move to another province at 38 weeks pregnant. We had a little chat that you wouldn't slip out on our 12-hour drive. Then you had to wait again after Auntie Amanda and Uncle Dan's wedding. Every step of the way, you listened.  That's how the last 10 years have been really. You walked within the lines and you always listened. I am grat...

Shut the front door! You are Four!

Dear Alastair, I missed posting last year because of recovery, and this year I was late because life has been hectic with summer vacation. I'm only just over 3 months late. But better late than never right??? So so much has changed since you turned 2. Where do I even begin? You had preschool today and there was a birthday party. You got a goodie bag with 4 little chocolates in it. Your sisters were so jealous! You didn't even hesitate - you pulled out one aero bar for Bree and one coffee crisp for Mackenzie. You happily ate your kit kat, and the shared your smarties. And that's you! You are so generous when it comes to people you love. Sometimes, you even share your bacon with me. These past 2 years, we've seen you grow from saying yes all the time, to knowing your boundaries. You started preschool and was deemed the kid "who can always be found at the snack table". Your best friend ping pong between Aiden at school and Austin. You w...

Week 18 - Relieved and Confession Time

Umm...week 18 already? The baby is now the length of a sweet potato (5.5 inches). I'm wondering when I'm going to feel the baby move. I think I feel something at times, but it's more like gas than anything else. I'm not eating a lot these days, I hope the baby is growing! (I assume baby must be taking everything I have, because I don't think I've not been sick - i.e. all day sickness, UTI, cold, etc - since I've been pregnant. Leaving me fight for myself) So, I FINALLY told my boss at work today that I'm pregnant. I don't know what I expected, but I didn't expect it to be easy. Of course I should know that she has experience with hearing news like that all the time. I guess I just thought she'd say something like, "ok, well, you're not fit for this role anymore, so what's the plan now?" or something like that. Those who have worked with me before know that I have always been very good at what I do. I don't say thi...
