So far so good-
35 weeks today! I am still going strong but had quite the eventful weekend. This past week went smooth and seemed to be pretty normal for the amount of pain/irritability until I started getting these crazy leg pains. Friday evening I was advised that it was better to get things check out so Jonathan and I headed up to the hospital. After being there only a few minuets. I started getting contractions...not only were they hard contractions-but they were about 3 minutes apart! Well this went on for about an hour and a half and then seemed to calm down. Little did I know that me missing my regular Cranberry Juice routine would catch up to me! I was diagnosed with a bladder infection that cause early labor! So what did we learn kids? Drink your cranberry juice! That alone got us realizing we needed to be way more prepared than we were so Saturday we did a full house cleaning and went shopping for a car seat. That alone was an adventure! We picked out the best quality car seat we could find at our local Toys "R" Us store and thought we made a pretty good pick. Went and paid for the item and waited for it to come out from their inventory/ stock room area. After waiting for 20 minutes we started to wonder if there really was a car seat available or if they sold us one that wasn't there anymore. Just our luck they could not find the one that was supposedly in stock. After the millionth apology from the young girl working there we refunded our entire purchase- while we were in line to return everything someone came in with an opened box and returned the same car seat! How scary is that- they didn't question them and it from the looks would have been fine but what if that had just got in an accident! we would have never known! So we went to the small pricey store in the mall and purchased an even nicer one. I have to say as far as safety goes we spent a small chunk of change but this little girl is going to be as safe as we can make her! Bringing this home set a reality check for us knowing that in just a few short weeks (or sooner) our little girl will be sitting in that car seat! Anyways I'm back at work and hopefully wont have any more false alarms!

Happy 33 Weeks! Well this past week was short and full of fun...
Corrina had her first puppy training class and I was amazed to see she is one of the most well behaved dogs there...much to her credit she is not the most patient when Addie gets the attention (click the video clip) http://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=1138438249138746389
Jonathan took a well deserved trip down to Salt Lake to see a Jazz Basketball game and visit with family. And I stayed back to man the fort...or should I say...shear the dogs!
Here is a short clip of Corrina- http://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=-5412746023867360102 she looks like a German Shorthair!
So after the too many phone calls to count I realized that I missed Jonathan just as crazy as he missed me. Sometimes its good to remind each other that absence does make the heart grow fonder! or miss each other like crazy!
I have gotten 101 questions of why I'm still working....my question to anyone asking is "Why not?" I would rather uncomfortable at work and not be bored...than be at home twiddling my thumbs waiting for our little girl to arrive :-) We are getting more ready by the day and enjoying the quiet time we have together. My thoughts and prayers go out to the families and friends of those at Va. Tech and I am once again very blessed to be safe and secure here in Canada!

32 weeks! Wahoo I can't believe I am this pregnant! The best part about this is knowing that We only really have between 7-9 weeks left! I'll make this short and NO I'm not including a picture. Today I tried on a shirt that I haven't warn very much- mostly because it gets so dang cold up here that short sleeve shirts are not always the best. Anyways I purchased it when I was about 5 months pregnant and it had plenty of room...little did I know that even if my bum, legs and arms stay the same size....my belly will eventually not fit in to most maternity clothes. So I put the shirt on...it still fits but seems to be a bit short. Then asked Jonathan for his opinion..and being the nice sweet husband he is told me that "its fine". So I decided I would wear it today one last time. Well one of the guys at my work that loves to make snide comments told me I look like an umbrella! how horrible is that! so I guess that means the shirt really doesn't fit me anymore! Oh the Joys of being pregnant! I guess its good that my dad toughened me up with a good sense of humor growing up or I would have totally cried! Ciao!

Happy April Fools Day!
Well after the past three years of jokingly telling our parents we are pregnant on April Fools Day-its no joke this year! I am 31 weeks pregnant now and I am getting a bit more on the anxious side of having our little girl here! I was told by a person at work on Friday "wow you really got big this week" so of course I can handle this most days so I decided I would have Jonathan take a picture of me...umm yeah I can officially say "I've gained weight!" but luckily it still seems to be mostly in the belly area...so hopefully our little girl will be nice and healthy!

Every weekend we have a ritual of sleeping in until we can't sleep anymore...but for the past few months I haven't been able to play that game very well! After getting up at 2am... 4am... 6:30am and 8am I finally am up and ready for the day! -as Jonathan sleeps like a baby for another couple of hours.

Sunday morning I thought it would be nice to make some breakfast...little did I know that if you put a whole package of bacon into a very evenly heated pan on a brand new stove....it will eventually burn. So after checking on this for a few minutes I sat down to watch the sunday session of General Confrence. All of a sudden my good sense of smell kicked in because the whole kitchen was filled with bacon smoke!!!!!!!!!!! After the countless times of making a yummy -un-burnt breakfast I've officially burnt the bacon! It was sooo bad that today we can still smell it- Luckily Jonathan was nice and patient and helped me cook breakfast. So much for letting him sleep in :-) I was thankful this weekend to have the internet and some good friends that had the correct TV channel! to watch confrence. We didnt realize that our "good deal" of switching cable companies would lead us to search for an alternate place to watch confrence in our p.j.'s! I hope you all had an opportunity to watch the talks especially in the Sunday morning session. I know that the first two talks hit very close to home for Jonathan and I and we are thankful to have the leaders of the church to help guide us. If you havent watched them (or listend to them- go to www.lds.org and click on the links to the General Confrence archives)

Anyways its April now- and yes it definately doesnt feel like it since we received another 3 inches of snow!!!!!! Well go catch a rabit and I'll blog some more next weekend.
