Jack o Lanterns

Here are the Jack o Lanterns that we carved yesterday and today!

HELLOOOOO out there!!!!

Ok I've set up a tracker on my blog and I can see I've had quite a few visitors over the last little while, can you guys start posting some comments??!!! I'd love to hear who has been here to visit.

U.S. Shopping!

Well, we certainly did good! LOOK AT THE STASH HA! HA! HA!We made off with a swing, playpen and a TON of clothes from The carters outlet. No boots for me :( I just couldn't find what I was looking for and my size was tough to find. We figured we saved a few hundred dollars. Crossing the border was also no problems, we had all our receipts ready to go because I told Craig I'm not going to lie about our purchases, I didn't want to risk having them seized. We get to the booth and the border officer only asks us - how long have we been and are we bringing any bottles back, that's it!

Now we hardly have anything left on our list to buy just receiving blankets, a monitor and some bath stuff. I was also considering buying a bouncy seat & Craig wants to get the new back support baby bjorn.

Family

My Uncle Dan just sent me some awesome pictures he took and I thought I would post a family picture here. Although there is a lot of my family here, there is still many missing. I can think of at least 10 off the top of my head.

LURKERS

	lurker
	A person who is just "there." Nobody really knows why, other than they show up and don't say a word. Possible reasons for this could be: -They don't know what to say -They are pretending to have friends -They are trying to scare you -They are there just to be seen with you, as if they have some kind of relationship with you. Person 1: Who's that? Person 2: The lurker. He shows up everyday, just ignore him.

Crossing the border

Tomorrow at 8:00am Craig and I are going to cross the border and make an attempt to get some good deals on baby items. With only 8 weeks 3 days left or 58 days and 3 Doctor's appointments, I'm getting a bit anxious to get things done and just focus on Christmas.

So, we are looking for:

- a fisher price baby swing
-Graco playpen with bassinet
-breast pump (only if it's a good deal)
-boots ( for me lol!)

I will post when I get back pictures of the goods!

Surprise in the mail ...

A few days ago I received two cards for me and the new baby in the mail. Hand-made by my two nieces Emma & Grace in Greely, Ontario (Ottawa area)I cried when I opened them - pregnancy hormones gotta love 'em. Thank You girls, that is so special!

Haute Mama

Just a new picture of me, after finally breaking down and buying the "in" shades ... I must say I look pretty chic.

Not really a baby post but too cute not to add ...

Serina had her first horse show last weekend and I couldn't resist showing the pictures of her. She won 5th place in beginner walk and 3rd place in beginner walk, posting trot,we are so proud!!

Black and white ultrasound pics

The last picture was taken at 26 weeks gestation.

More nursery

I'm adding a few new pic's of the nursery. I had a really hard time trying to find that perfect shelf...nothing was catching my eye. So, I made my own :) yep, I trucked on down to the craft store and bought a plain pine shelf. I hand painted it all including the lambs and trees. Bet you didn't think I was so crafty LOL!

We also put up the quilt clips and art on the wall. It's really starting to look good now, I can't wait to hang up the shelf with Craig tomorrow.

Growing Belly!

I hope these pictures don't offend anyone :) but I thought it would be cool to add to the baby blog.

The Nursery

It's not done yet, still art to go up on the walls and a few shelves, pillows etc. I'm also looking for a small dark wood side table to put beside the glider. I'm happy with how it's turned out so far ....

27 weeks 3D ultrasound pictures and video

Here are a few pictures and the video will be coming soon ...
