30 Weeks and Settling In


This photo is actually recent for once, here I am at 30 weeks!  Holy smokes, this pregnancy has gone soo fast!  We are finally moved into our new place in Edmonton, and we LOVE it!  It is perfect for us right now. 3 bedrooms and a fenced in yard!  The kitchen is great and lets face it, we are just happy to have a kitchen after living in hotels for so long.  We are settled for the most part but still have a lot of finishing left to do.  

I feel like this baby is really creeping up on me now.  I only just saw my maternity doctor for the first time last week - 30 weeks - crazy!  I am excited to have a girl and all the fun girly stuff that comes with that, but I am nervous about having 2 kids and balancing that.  I know Ty is going to have a bit of a hard time with the transition and I am hoping that we will all sleep....but as Brock reminds me, I just need to take it one day at a time and figure it out as I go.  9 more weeks of just Ty and me!

Ty is really loving our new house.  The hard floors are great to play cars and he has so much room to play.  We have been trying to get outside too, when the weather is nice enough....and I mean nice...I don't fit in any of my winter jackets!  Here are a few pictures from our day out in the snow!

Christmas in Chilliwack!

After our brief visit home, we got settled in to celebrate Christmas in Chilliwack.  We were able to find a small Christmas tree on a great sale, so that really helped the hotel feel more like Christmas.  Ty was so excited about the tree!!  He insisted that it always be turned on and loved looking at all of the lights.


Checking out the tree.


More tree inspection.

On Christmas Eve we ordered in room service and watched Christmas movies in our new PJ's!  It was a fun and relaxing night.


Ty was really into the movie, we must have been watching the Grinch or Pluto's Christmas Tree.  Those were Ty's favorites this year.


Snuggling with my little man.

Christmas morning Ty actually slept in very late!!  That is what Brock asked for, so he was happy too!  It was a quiet day again.  Opened some presents, FaceTime with the family and buffet dinner from the restaurant downstairs.  Hotel life sure has its advantages - no cooking or cleaning!!


Ty playing with his new truck from Santa.  Every car or truck had to be played with on this table.


Building Lego with Mommy.

A couple days after Christmas, my parents came for a visit with a truck full of toys!  Santa truly had come!  I wish i would remember to take pictures with my camera when my family is around.  Oh well.  We had a lot of fun, watching hockey and going to the park.  My parents got Ty a few puzzles and he was so into them!  Good thing there are lots of puzzles at their house too - Ty loves puzzles and is really good at them too!

Expert status!

And here I am just before we headed back home!  This picture is about a month and a half old already, I can't believe that I am having this baby in 10 weeks or so!!  Talk about a whirlwind pregnancy!
