So while trying to organize things and re-do a couple things I ever so brightly deleted some files, and changed html that I couldn’t remember what I had done. Therefore my last theme stopped working, and while I could have easily fixed it since I have everything backed up I decided to just throw something else up. I’m not too impressed with how this looks right now but I had to get it together quickly so its okay for now.

A real update later on..

Yesterday was beautiful outside. We were outside for the majority of the day. In the morning I moved some things around in my living room, but then decided that was all I was going to do because I needed a break. This nesting is driving me nuts! Jordan and Peter were supposed to have their Saturday yesterday but because it was so beautiful outside, and because Jordan’s friend was in the neighborhood visiting his dad for the day Jordan chose to go this coming Tuesday night which is Peter’s day off - after school he will come home eat dinner, and be off to the show with dad. So, yesterday he spent the day with his friend riding their bikes, playing with cars and we had him and his dad over for bbq hamburgers at lunch.. it was a great day.

Another week tackled! Yesterday marked 28 weeks in my pregnancy. I find during the week goes by much quicker than weekends. Usually the days Jordan is in school go by the quickest.. But boy have weekends been dragging on. When June hits I’ll be just glowing. It seems like so far away so I’m just waiting and taking it week-by-week! I’ll be 30 weeks on April 11th. I have a feeling baby won’t wait until 40 weeks, perhaps 38 weeks is what I’m feeling.. We will see though!

Jordan had a great time at the party on Friday night. It went a little later, they didn’t get home until almost 830pm.. but thats okay, he had a blast and the little girl loved her gift! Which I’m glad about - we got her this.. We also got her a tinkerbell book because they are really starting to encourage reading this year.

Well this isn’t much of an update but the weather is just awful today - its pouring rain, and it isn’t supposed to stop anytime soon… I’m exhausted and this weather doesn’t help, so I’m off. I’ll be going around commenting on everyones sites later on. Where is everyone anyways????

This weeks images are - 1: Me 27 weeks & 5 days pregnant taken yesterday SO TIRED, 2: Me and my belly yesterday (27w,5d), 3: My site!, 4: Baby’s new 3-in-1, 5: Yorkshire again, I can’t help myself! :)

Yesterday I decided to purchase another domain. I’m keeping this one as is, but I wanted another one to maybe host people, just have for random things and basically just to have because. I don’t know what I’ll do with it. But it gives me something to work on at night when I can’t sleep.

The photos I posted in the entry below prompted me to look up old videos of cartoons and shows I watched as a kid last night on YouTube. My poor hubby sitting beside me last night listening to me go all school girl over shows like Step by step, Fudge, My Pet Monster and of course I looked up Full House. LOL.. When I was a kid I swear the tv shows back then were 10000x better than they are now.

Everyone who answered to what photos went to what shows we’re right. However, no one seemed to get photo #5 - which is a show called Bonkers. It was on everyday after school while I was in grade school.

The photos:
1. The Smoggies, 2. Duck Tales, 3. Chip & Dale: Rescue Rangers, 4. My Pet Monster, 5. Bonkers, 6. Bobby’s world!

That was fun, I enjoyed looking up the photos and the memories of my childhood that came along with all the shows.. I’ll do that from time to time with random things. I need to start making my site a little more interesting.

Tonight is the party that Jordan is going to for his friend in his class. So we are going to get some groceries after Peter gets off work around 230pm and then we’ll be going to get the Birthday present and Jordan needs new indoor running shoes for school. He told us yesterday before school that his at school were starting to too small so Peter told the teacher we’d get him new ones, so his old ones got sent home last night. He is growing non-stop this child! I can’t believe he will be 6 in September - where does the time go? Anyways, hope everyone has a great Friday.. I’m off to lounge on the couch with Jord and Ky, while Ava naps until its time for us to get ready to go…

I posted this progress photo on my flickr the other day. I’m amazed at how these types of progress photos look. I can’t wait to see at the end. I really didn’t realize how much I’ve popped out until I look at these all side by side. Just for fun I set up a Baby Pool please go fill in your guess, I’m thinking about giving out a prize to whoever gets the date/weight correct! As always click on the photo to enlarge.

Ava is her normal self again. No one else in the family seems to be feeling crummy so thats a good thing! Usually when one person is feeling under the weather we all end up getting it at some point, so knock on wood that it isn’t the case this time!

Tuesday after Jordan got home from school I was going through his communication bag - bag the teacher puts newsletters, school work, announcements, etc in - and Jordan got a Birthday invitation. This would be #4 of the school year! I love that he is getting invited to parties and he’s making some good friends the only thing is it’s for this Friday night. From 6pm-730pm.. At Chuck E Cheese. So Peter had to take a half day at work in order for me to be able to rush Jordan out Friday afternoon to buy a present and then for one of us to take him to the party, then pick him up. It’s all good since we are able to do it — I just wish we had more notice. But with last week being March break and Jordan’s class only going Tuesday and Thursday this week I understand… Let’s hope he has a great time, although its Chuck E Cheese what kid doesn’t have a great time at Chuck E Cheese!

I have a question for everyone! — No real reason or meaning, I just thought it would be fun - I’m not sure if any of these shows were shown in the US or Other places or not but Canadian’s should know these! They are all shows I watched and adored as a kid!;

Can you name what Cartoon tv shows these photos are from?

Wow, 2 days without blogging.. I’m horrible! I’ll admit I’m behind but yesterday I had a very good reason. Ava wasn’t feeling 100%, Yesterday she was very gassy and uncomfortable. She cried any time I tried to put her down all she wanted to do was lay on Mommy and snuggle. Peter was off yesterday and Ava is usually a huge Daddy’s girl so it shocked me when all she wanted to do was cuddle ontop of Mommy.. It was nice to snuggle with her I just wish it wasn’t because she wasn’t feeling up to par. She snuggles when shes feeling fine too but not like that. Usually shes Daddy’s snuggle monster but yesterday she didn’t want to snuggle with anyone but Mom.

Today she seems much better. She isn’t gassy and although she did snuggle on me most of the morning, she’s feeling much better and doesn’t freak out if I have to put her down or anything. Right now shes having her nap so shes getting her rest too.

I mentioned in a previous blog that last week I signed up to a bunch of baby freebies. One of them came today. The Nestle Baby Club backpack full of goodies came! I was most excited about getting the back more than anything! It came filled with coupons, a free bottle, a free medium sized can of powder formula ( i’ll be breastfeeding but need this as a just in case considering the issues i had breastfeeding with jordan ) so it was a nice surprise to get I wasn’t expecting it for 4-6 weeks! I love free, stuff.

Well I have a bunch of blogs to catch up on, some laundry and cleaning to do and also finish looking up some stuff online which includes home theatre seating. How amazing would that be? Too bad for me I’d need an even bigger house, and an even bigger wallet for that! :P Hope everyone had a great weekend and is enjoying their Wednesday!

Today I washed all the new baby clothes, folded them and put them away. I washed and folded a ton of recieving blankets, folded them and put them away! Everything is coming along great and I am anxious to welcome our new little bundle! June can not come soon enough..

Again today I found myself doing a lot of what I shouldn’t. I was washing windows and then washing the cupboards in the kitchen. While I was washing the cupboards Kyla and Jordan came in and had to help so I let them help. My kids are all so helpful and always wanting to do everything I am doing. It’s very cute. Ava wasn’t interested though she was sitting on the couch with daddy looking out the front window trying to pull down the Easter decorations the kids and I put up yesterday!

Last night I was looking around online for a custom rubber stamp. Anyone have these? I also signed up for a bunch of baby freebies. I should be getting a free backpack full of goodies, a free fridge magnet with my due date and a bunch of other things. I love baby freebies. I’m anxious to see if any of it actually arrives.

I need to get back to blogging more again… I will I am just so tired all the time, and busy with the kiddos.. But I will! Right now though, I think I’ll go visit a few sites and then just lay in bed and watch some tv or maybe go soak in a warm oatmeal bath — I am exhausted, and my ribs are hurting horribly from baby in the middle of the night last night. Hope everyone had a good weekend.

Your baby now weighs 2 - 2 1/2 - 3lbs and measures 14.5 inches/ 36.6 centimetres from head to toe. His eyes open and close, he sleeps and wakes at regular intervals and he may suck a finger or thumb.

Sweet dreams, little baby! Some experts believe that babies begin to dream by the 28th week. What do they dream about? No one knows for certain but the brain is active this week as well. The characteristic grooves on the brain’s surface start to appear and more brain tissue develops.

Chalk up any rhythmic movement you may be feeling to a case of the hiccups, which are common this week and throughout the pregnancy. Your baby has them but is breathing in amniotic fluid rather than air. A paper bag can’t cure his hiccups, obviously, but an episode usually lasts only momentarily. The sensation for you may be strange but not unpleasant.

Well I’m officially 27 weeks pregnant today. I’m very happy and can’t believe how amazing and smooth this pregnancy has gone. Really! I’m very lucky. I’ve still been having a lot of trouble sleeping at night. I can be exhausted to the point where I fall asleep into a deep sleep for 3 hours, and then I’m up…. Tossing and turning for the rest of the night. Or I don’t fall asleep at all until the wee hours of the morning before its time to get up with the kids.. I realize thought in the last few weeks I’ve been nesting a lot, and just on the go constantly so I’m trying to just slow it down a bit and relax whenever I get the chance. Soon as I put the girls to bed at night I hop into the bath - either have a bubble bath or an oatmeal bath - then get into my bed and just relax. Jordan usually comes and hangs out with me on my bed we watch cartoons, or read stories. With 3 kids on the go all day long its nice to have relaxing time in the evenings. Right now I’m sitting in my bed, with my fan on, laptop on my lap and silence. All I hear is the static from the baby monitor and its very relaxing.. Jordan is in his room watching the end of Ben 10 and Mama is just hangin out.

A lot has been going on. If you are on my Twitter you’ve probably seen my updates about it. I won’t talk about it on here because I’m not too sure if that would be ok… But, some stressful things are going on within my extended family and I’m just trying to wrap my head around it all and take it all in. Don’t worry its nothing to do with my children, my husband, myself or baby in tummy..

This weeks images are - 1: Me 26 weeks & 4 days pregnant taken Wednesday, 2: Hubby after we changed our room around (yes! he has shorts on!), 3: Jordan being silly on his bike, 4: Kyla being adorable as usual, 5: Ava inside with daddy watching Mommy, Jord and Ky out front.

I was going to also post a video but I can’t find my cord for my camera to get the videos from this week on the computer. So, sometime this week I’ll get some up. This week’s Photo Friday was just the family. I took a lot of photos this week of everyone so I figured why the heck not… Hope hubby doesn’t get too mad I posted him in there too, afterall he is part of the family! :) As always click on the pictures to enlarge, and you can also see them untagged on my flickr.

The other day when I posted about Lurkers I didn’t get very many comments. Which is very disappointing.. So if you are here reading this please drop a line in the comments to say hello. Well, Ava is up in bed having her nap while Jordan and Kyla are sitting with me they just finished eating their lunch and are coloring pictures for the fridge.. I’m going to take this time to comment on my dailies real quick, then go do some crafts with the kiddos… Have a good Friday all!

Peter’s older sister announced she was pregnant a few days before we found out we are expecting… Her due date is tomorrow. My hubby called her last night because she told me the day before she was having contractions on and off, and we wanted to see how she was doing… She said she was alright just relaxing and waiting…

This morning at 830am we got a phone call from Peter and Sarah’s other brother saying she went into labor at 4am.. So now it was just waiting! 930am we got another phone call Baby is here!! She had a baby girl who they named Cassidy and she was 7lbs 2oz! I’m so excited for them. They have a little boy who is a month younger than Kyla so a baby girl is perfect. They got one of each!! I can’t wait to see pictures of her, and to talk to Sarah. We all know I love babies.. Of course I cried when hubby got off the phone with their brother and he told me.. I’m sucha baby myself! :)

In other news.. Yesterday morning I went for the glucose test. It wasn’t nearly as bad as I remember. I got there at 9:00am and I had 5 minutes to drink the whole drink. They gave me a little cup, and 3 cups full it was done. I gagged 2x and kept saying to myself “ew ew ew yuck” and I’m sure the faces I made weren’t so pleasant but I did it and without tears or throwing up lol. I did the drink within 3 minutes.. Then I had to wait until they were able to draw my blood an hour later, and then I was on my way home.. I think the last two times was so horrible because of how sick I was with the girls in my pregnancies.. This pregnancy is 100x different then the last two. It’s the same as my pregnancy with Jordan - both boys were a breeze.

We got a lot of outside time yesterday afternoon. We walked to the grocery store and let the kids play in the backyard with us for a little while. It was beautiful yesterday. Last night around 730pm Hubby, Jordan, Kyla and I were in my room I was going through a dresser I had full of Ava’s baby clothes. Then I got the bright idea “Hey lets change our bedroom around” - - not so smart. It took from 730-930pm and it was job let me tell you. We have a huge queen sized leather sleigh bed and mid-move it BROKE!!! The guys from the Brick –where we bought it didn’t tighten it enough so when we were moving the side broke off. Of course Peter fixed it and it wasn’t a big deal but seriously, if you are going to put together a bed put it together right!! Anyways he fixed that, we moved things around and now my room looks amazing. It’s roomy and I love it.

Ava isn’t feeling so well today. Her little voice has changed, shes getting a cold.. So she is down for her nap. Kyla hasn’t wanted to nap in the past 2 days, and I doubt she will nap today either. Right now her and Jordan just finished playing with play doh now they are watching “Bee Movie” beside me. I’m going to go put the toys in the living room into a new stand and just hang out with the babies. It’s a gloomy day, and suppose to rain so it will be an inside day… Gotta love rain!

Firstly.. I’d like to say that I have the best readers/commenters EVER!! I’m so thankful that you guys are so sweet, and kind.. I can’t thank you all enough for the wonderful comments you leave me. Especially on my protected posts.. You have no idea how much your words mean to me, thank you!

I’d really like to see who else is roaming around reading about my life - So if you lurk here occasionally or are reading for the first time, drop me a line.. Don’t be shy, I’d like to get to know those who read! Also, If you have a site I’d like to check it out and return the favor. Come on lurkers! :)

Ok.. back to regular blogging..

Tomorrow is my dreaded Glucose test. I called today because I have no idea where I’m to go. Every time I’ve done this or attempted to do this I went downstairs at the hospital after having an OB appointment with the drink already drank, but I don’t start with my OB until the 2nd of April and have to do the drink this week — tomorrow because it’s my hubbys only day off. So anyways, I tried to find the phone number for the regular blood lab I go to thats not at the hospital but was unsuccessful so I called the hospital. The lady at the blood work place was super sweet. They are open at 8am she said she will be there all day and will help me out when I get there. If I want to go a bit before 8am I can there is a clipboard for first come first serve and because I’m preggo and needing to drink this drink and be seen an hour later she said soon as I get there she will give me the drink and I won’t have to wait or anything so I’m glad for that… But the bad news??? They only have the ORANGE drink. No fruit punch, no other flavors. OY VEY! Not looking forward to that… Oh well, like I said before the things us Mama’s do!

I’ve been having a horrible time sleeping at night the past week. I’m at that phase in my pregnancy that I cannot get comfortable, and I cannot stay a sleep for a long period of time. I am exhausted but I just can’t seem to stay a sleep. I’m only 26w, 2d but being my 4th I’m bigger than usual so of course its harder. I should nap while my girls nap but I can’t do that because Jordan is here. Right now girls are tucked in for their naps, and Jord’s playing on the desktop playing some math game, and I’m over on the couch on the laptop listening to him sound off random numbers and questions.. To be honest this resting makes it worse so I should get up and go through some baby clothes. I keep finding boxes full of unisex sleepers that I totally forgot I had..
