coming home outfit

I may not have the nursery set up yet but I have the coming home outfit! one in pink, one in blue, although we are only having one baby - we just don't know what it is yet - well we do know it is a monkey!

Booties!

Here are the boots we are planning on bringing the babe home in. I bought them off ebay.ca. I am so in love with these boots!!

We have the coming home outfit too - one in pink and brown, the other in blue and brown! I will upload those later. We are getting closer! only 13 weeks to go!

Side view - I love that button! you can wear them up like this

Or roll them down for old man slippers - which I LOVE!

one day closer!

So I had my doctor's appointment yesterday and have finally reached my pre-pregnancy weight! yay baby! I am keeping more food down which is great but also eating a little more healthy too. I am enjoying apples still. and last night hubby wanted a snack from the golden arches, so he brought me back some apple slices! yum! We also bought the coming home outfit (one in pink, one in blue) just in case! Things are coming along. Now all I have to do is get the house organized, and the nursery set up (which won't happen till sept). I booked a fun 3d ultrasound (which we have to pay for) but that's ok! since the ultrasound tech at the free one didn't do a 3d image, and then yesterday my doctor booked me another one because I am measuring big - and not just a little, like 4 weeks ahead of where I am at! so I will get to see little bean two more times! this makes me happy!

On another note, I think I have found true love, in form of a slow cooker! Ummmm where have you been all my life! I usually crash around 5pm, and have been working alot from home, so my burst of energy comes around 2pm.. I then throw some stuff in the pot and come 5pm supper is ready! Love love love it! I can't believe it! I paid 24 dollars for this pot of genius! Brilliant I tell ya! I haven't made too much and I am still working on perfecting some recipes but it is great!
We also headed to the farmer's market in our town on saturday! It was great to get out and get some mini cupcakes, potatoes and eggs! all local which is great! it is still early in the season so there wasn't too much for produce, but it will come. We also finally planted out veggie garden in the back and thank goodness for all the rain the past few days! it saves us from going out and watering the garden! Grow little seeds! Grow!

Anyway I should get back to my real work and get that done so that I can rest on Thursday to celebrate Canada Day!

Weekly Wisdom:

Happiness is something that comes into our lives through doors we don't even remember leaving open. ~Rose Lane

Milestones: Counting down the weeks! feeling kicks from the outside alot stronger,

Emotions: all over - sometimes I cry over nothing, or get mad for nothing, or happy ...

So this week went went and found a car seat that we both liked and bought it on sale! and then tonight we went to the bay and found a $350 crib for $50. nothing fancy but for that price we couldn't turn it down! so it's been a pretty good baby week! I have also made some more cookies and am on a lemon fix. tonight - lemon cookies!

Heartburn is setting in more strongly now - as morning sickness is lifting(hopefully I didn't jinx that!). Oh the joys! and not being able to cool myself down when I get too warm.
