Happy Birthday To Me!

Thursday was my 27th birthday. My wonderful husband took me and mom for a delicious dinner at the Keg. However, the whole meal ran very behind and left our poor friends waiting in hiding to surprise me at our house for an extra hour. Even though I had my suspicions (when Dave vacuumed and picked up the house before we left for dinner, plus refused the desert menus at the restaurant)I was still very happy to see all my friends there to wish me a happy birthday. Thanks to everyone for the gifts and to Janine for taking these pictures. Oh ... and for waiting around in the dark wondering if we'd ever come home!

Christmas 2007

This Christmas we're so excited to have mom with us for a nice long visit (its been a year since we've seen her last). Of course having company meant that we had a good reason to cook a BIG meal ... in fact we're still eating it! As usual in our house ... friends are always welcomed - so Chris and Glenda joined us just back from visiting family out of town and Kris, Mel & new baby Kaleb dropped in a little later for some fresh baked cherry pie. Thanks to mom we have a few photos of the event.

We're Registered ... Sort of ...

A couple of weeks ago Dave and I opened a baby registry at Sears so that those who wanted to buy us stuff for the baby (you know you want to) would know what items we specifically wanted and still needed. We started out online, however, you can only put items in from the catalogue. So recently, when we were in our very small Sears store, we thought we'd add some of the smaller items they don't have in the catalogue - like sheets, blankets, bibs, etc. When we approached the staff to do so we were informed that all their registry scanning machines were broken and had been sent away for weeks. Rather inconvienient for the gift giving season don't you think?! So as of right now we have a very small registry on the Sears website that can access from this link. We hope to add to it later if Sears gets their machines fixed ... hopefully before the baby is born!

26 Weeks: For Sure A Bigger Belly

Last time I posted a belly shot my mom commented that I looked pretty much the same. I think this time there is definitely a difference. Of course I always know when there's a difference because I'm the one carrying around the extra pounds, out growing even my pregnancy clothes, can no longer bend over without sitting down, and now need to look in the mirror to do up my pants. Finding a winter coat to cover my all-up-front baby bump is going to be a challenge! Still 14 weeks to go!

To see my previous belly shots go to: Week 22, Week 17, and Dave & Me and BABY makes Three!

100 Days To Go

As of today I have approximately 100 days to go in my pregnancy. Of course I say approximately because it could be a few more or a few less depending on when this baby decides he wants to come into the world. Sometimes if feels like the days are just crawling by but then I look back and wonder where the past few months went. Hard to believe I'm about to enter the 3rd trimester!

Good For A Chuckle

My mom and I have the same sense of humour ... she sent me this!

Week 25: A Friend for Baby Brown

Congratulations to our good friends Kris and Melody who's son Kaleb Douglas arrived last Friday afternoon. I've enjoyed being pregnant with one of my best friends for the past several months, and the birth of their first child only brings home the reality that the birth of our little guy is not that far away! In fact, I'll be done work in just 7 more weeks! I look forward to having some down time to get things ready and to hang out with Mel and Kaleb during the weeks before Baby Brown arrives.
