So, my buddy Ryan took these pics for me this morning.
My mum keeps telling me not to wish for the baby belly too quickly, as it's gonna be a while still before the baby gets here, and I understand her point. However, I am excited by the bump, especially after the Dr being so concerned about my weight loss, I'm pleased to tell you that I am gaining weight now (never thought I'd be so happy about putting on weight!). Plus this, and the fact the baby is moving, are the nice parts of being pregnant, these far outweigh the bad stuff, it reminds me that this is all well worth it. Baby is most definately worth it. I love you baby!

Fun weekend
My morning sickness is almost a thing of the past. I'm still taking dyclectin at night but I can actually make meals in our house again. And in a great twist of fate, after having to re-schedule 2 times, we went over to William & Lisa's on Saturday night for a really nice Roast Beef dinner. It was great, lots of yorkshire puddings, mashed potato, veggies and gravy! YUMMY! And then we sat and played 'Nusht', fun dice game.
Jana was in Saskatoon this weekend too, so I got to see her at church lunch, which was nice. Then we hung out at Ryan & Allisons Sunday night, Joy joined us after she had been to church. It was fun, Jared is moving around A LOT! He has this cute half sitting crawl that he does, and he will walk if Mummy is helping him. He's just adorable. Not that I'm biased or anything;-)

What do you think?
A straight forward question for all you ladies that have already had babies, do you buy the maternity panties or not? Are they worth it or can you manage prefectly well with the underwear you already have in your drawer?

I have great friends
Homesickness is awful, and very frustrating. Thankfully my homesickness has diminished over time as Saskatoon has slowly become home too. I'm some weird mutant now, that to some degree doesn't feel totally at home anywhere now, because where ever we are I will miss the other 'home'.
Why am I telling you all this? Well I was just glancing over some of my old posts, and one thing that I have noticed is that when I post stuff on here while I am away, I always get such great comments from my friends in Saskatoon. They always encourage me, and let me know that they are missing me and that they are waiting for me to come home to Saskatoon. Isn't that great, seriously, I really am blessed with the friendships I have.
Thinking of great friends, I am pretty gutted that Tanya's moving to Ottawa, Todd has gotten himself a pretty nice job out there. I know this is a great opportunity for them, and I think Tanya is excited now at the thought of experiancing a different part of the country for a while. But Saskatchewan is gonna be missing 2 great people for a while. I'm gonna miss ya T.

Finally... exercise I enjoy!
I have been really enjoying my aquacise class, and I'm hoping this continues. I'm well known for getting enthusiastic about something then getting really sick of it, so hopefully I've actually found something that will interest me enough to get me off my butt more often.
And it feels like the baby is getting exercise too, as I've started feeling a couple of little thumps. Lindsay thinks I'm imagining things, but these have been random little thumps, usually when I'm either trying to get to sleep or when I've been sat still for a while, and feel slightly different from my other sensations in that area.
I went shopping with Dawn R at the weekend for maternity clothes, it was very exciting and I managed to get some good deals, every single thing I bought was on sale. This is a good thing as maternity clothing is not that cheap to buy.
Oh, and how bad do I feel... I went out weeks ago to buy my nephews birthday present, his birthday was this past Sunday... and his gift is still sat, unwrapped on my living room floor! I am an AWFUL auntie. I totally forgot to send it. I SUCK! I really do feel terrible, not only does he never see me, but he is just so ADORABLE:
Yep, I love this little boy, he's such a great mix of his parents, he looks so much like Bob, but has Marie-Ann's beautiful smile. Anyway, I should stop boasting about my nephew and get on and post his present.

Tastebud confusion
Well, another thing that has been confusing me is the fact that so many things taste different to me right now. Last night L had to try my burger because I thought it tasted weird, apparently not, he said it was good. And then today I got a sandwich from one of my regular haunts, and it totally tasted weird... huh. Not only do I never seem to know what I can actually manage but now I also don't even know if it will taste good when I get it. How helpful!
I have aquasize tonight, which I am actually looking forward to. Last week was good, but my butt hurt afterwards, but that means it's actually doing something which is good.
We had a big blizzard here last wednesday, so I didn't make it in to work that day, or Thursday for that matter as my car was snowed in and wouldn't start. So 2 snow days. It was a tad frustrating as I knew I had a lot of work to do. And our camera had no batteries in so I didn't even manage to get any good pictures of the blizzard.

Dreams
OK, am I weird or do pregnant ladies have even more surreal dreams than normal?
I have been having a lot of food orientated dreams recently, weird hey, I can't eat much during the day and at night I am taunted with feasts, and fish & chips.
Normal stuff... my shoulder is killing me this morning, I think I pulled the muscle last night. I guess I'll be doing lots of stretching today, see if that helps.

A New Year
Has anyone made any resolutions this year?
I used to always try to make at least one, cos that is what you do at New Years right? Well no more! I never keep them and then always beat myself up over it. I guess I do have one resolution but that is a on going issue of wanting to pray more and know the Word of God better.
Well, I'm still not really showing yet, but have plenty of morning sickness and tiredness. Thankfully we heard the baby's heart beat the week before Christmas, I felt very emotional and cried (no surprise there;-) I feel so blessed with this baby, and have started reading to it, it has already heard all of Acts and will be hearing something from the OT next. Plus I have alrady started to educate it about good music; Snow Patrol, Bare Naked Ladies, U2 and Plumb have been firm favourites so it's getting a well rounded education.
Christmas was a busy affair with gatherings with the Unger family, Wiebe family, our close family, breafast with Kendra, brunch for Joys birthday, New Years eve with good friends and some shopping scattered in there for good measure. Oh and I slept a lot... A LOT!
