So after the big dump and deep freeze that we experianced last week, I have been pleasantly surprised with some warmer weather this week, today we should get to a high of +3. But then it's gonna go back to the cooler temps by the weekend, oh well.
I had 2 revelations this morning. The first is that one thing I do need to appreciate about living in Saskatchewan and going through the freezing winters, is that at least I don't need to worry about spiders like you do in the UK. The winters are too dry for spiders here , so you only ever see them in the summer! I LOVE IT! And the ones you see in the summer are still not as bad as some of the beast that sometimes reside in my Mum's house.
But that leads to revelation number 2, and that is that I just am going to have to accept that now that I live in Saskatchewan I am going to get sinus infections for as long as I live here. I truly believe that my system just doesn't like the dryness. Even when I am feeling fine and am not sick, most mornings I will wake up with a blocked nose, and that's with a humidifier running through the night in our bedroom, if we didn't have the humidifier going I would be even more blocked up.
Have I ever said how cute my Mum is? She is very excited about the baby and has decided that she's not waiting for my first ultra sound to check the due date, she's booking her flight over now to make sure she gets a seat! I love her.

It's so awesome to have everyone so excited, and such support, isn't it!
And a word about the humidifier. I know this sounds weird, but we used to run one in our bedroom at night, too, and I would wake up stuffed up. When we stopped running it at night, I stopped getting stuffed up. Weird, but maybe worth a shot? We run it downstairs, now.
Congrats on your news...
Inside I am laughing slightly - it is amazing and wonderful that God creates us this way, but I am laughing as you have yet to experience:
The hormones - where you will weep uncontrollably for watching Tom catch Jerry on TV, or when your sick to the stomach with morning sickness, or you haven't slept all night 'cause baby is doing gymnastics, or the annoying feeling of not being able to see past your stomach (that said - that happens to me and I am not pregnant, just fat).
Then theres chilbirth....
Wonderful - now that I have depressed you :-) you will be glad to know that a little baby in your arms makes up all those things.
Wonderful though, the beginnings of life are truly amazing.
