Catching up

Last night Orlund came to me and mentioned that I hadn't updated our blog in a while. He has 2 websites and seems to keep them relatively up to date.... ugh... not me. I have two blogs and my mom's website I'm supposed to keep up with, so far...... falling farther and farther behind. So here I am writing on our blog, what to write? I'll just catch you all up.

Since my last posting in May ~

June~ Joy and I left on a 20hour flight to go visit my mom and her kids in Thailand for 2 weeks. Yes a 20hour flight, just me and my 1year old.. Actually I found out just how good of a kid she is *smile*. Joy played in the basinett the airline provided, slept in it, ate in it, and only came out to nurse the occasional time *bliss*, no movies for mommy but I figured it had to be all about her so was prepared for that. We arrived safe and sound and in good spirits *tired*. It didn't take us long to settle into Mom's busy life *busy busy busy* up at 5am, down at 10pm. While we were there we went shopping *yippee for mommy!*, got massages, got our nails done, took the kidlets to the Pattaya waterpark, tiled their new kitchen, went to the strangest wedding I've ever gone to, and generally had fun playing with Gramma/Mom and the kidlets. Joy was ALWAYS entertained, 16kids that love her will do that. After the two weeks flew by we jumped on the plane to head home. Not so much fun this time. Joy and I both apparently had gotten a cold (probably due to not switching time zones so didn't sleep good), and with altitude changes your nose doesn't stop running... My 'one' weakness ~ boogers! I just put myself into "mommy mode" and dealt with it. Joy also decided to get a few more teeth in on the flight. She still did wonderfully, didn't cry more than 10minutes if you added it all up. Me on the other hand, needed a break, could have cried the whole way, but I made it through. Then we waited at the Vancouver airport for 9hours because Mom was also flying home the same day, just at the end of the day not the begining (luckily I'd packed in our carry-on extra clothes for Joy and I, gotta get outta the booger ones). Joy and I locked up our luggage, found a quiet corner and slept. I rocked Joy back and forth in the stroller while I layed on some benches and 'slept'. It wasn't long *cough* before Poppa/Dad showed up then Gramma/Mom was arriving and we got to come home.

For the next while when Gramma was in Canada we made as many trips to see her as possible, and helped tile their house here in Canada.

So what else? Oh, My husband knocked me up again! lol (he said to say that). That's right! after many many months of trying, after Joy and I returned from Thailand I got pregnant. We are due April 10th (day before my birthday). We thought we were due April 5th, however I had some 'spotting' so the doctor wanted to confirm everything was alright and for the duedate. So I went in and had a dating ultrasound, found out everything was fine and we were due 5 days later. so I am now 17weeks along and, well, doing great *gag*, okay so I'm sick. And tired. But that can't take away the excitement that I have a little baby growing inside me again. I've been able to feel baby move for a few weeks now, and last night Orlund got to feel it for the first time. Tuesday we go in to hear the heartbeat for the first time *exciting*. Then in the next couple weeks we'll get another ultrasound *excited*. At the first ultrasound I got to see what looked like a peanut with a little spot that 'flickered' *heartbeat*. This time we'll get to see a BABY! yippee.

Oh and I don't know if I mentioned but this past April we moved into our new house, a 1/2 duplex. Love love love it! We are finally all settled in, now we just have to figure out how to fit a baby in too. It's much nicer and roomier than our little trailer. Well I think that's enough rambling, I'm going to attach one of my favorite pictures of our girl.

God bless and I'll try to post more often.
