cravings

Mmmmmm. Mommy went out for lunch with her friend Cari and they treated themselves to some crepes. Mine had a banana in it, as well as nutella and chocolate syrup, and yes, those are two scoops of vanilla ice cream on either side... So basically, I really can't blame you if you come out with a HUGE sweet-tooth built in!

Other cravings have come and gone- fresh fruit (especially mangoes), perogies, sauerkraut, veggie burittos, pumpkin pie... Now I'm hungry again!

Hi Sweetie,

This is a photo of your Mom & Dad at a wedding for their friends Rob & Tracey last weekend. That's Dad's friend Dave's arm in the way... It was a beautiful ceremony and a fun night- we were sitting at the 'party' table with Daddy's friends and his friend Paul's two kids, Connor & Katie (ages 15 and 18). This was the only dress in Mommy's closet that would fit- a black velvet stretchy number. Don't we look nice all dressed up?

Loving you,

Ma

p.s. Dad is looking concerned 'cause I had just turned around and bumped into him with my big belly. You are very well protected in there, though- you probably didn't feel a thing!

Hi Baby,

Well, you've quieted down now but you sure were active this morning! Starting at about 4:30 am and for the following four hours or so was the most active you've been yet in there. Guess you're getting me ready for when you're on 'the outside'...

Grandma came to visit yesterday and brought your crib, along with a bunch of toys and things that your Auntie Cathy had left behind for you. Now we have to get over to Grandpa's house and choose a colour to paint your nursery and we'll be ready to begin setting it up for you. What do you think- blue, green or purple? (give me one, two or three kicks...)

Henna Belly

Hi Baby :)

A couple of weeks ago I got together with the Goddess Group that I founded and we had a henna party. Mommy was very patient and wait until all the other ladies had theirs done (on their hands and feet) and then she had her turn:

I have no idea why that is all underlined above and I'm too tired to figure it out right now. Mommy needs her rest! Goodnight and sweet dreams, my love!

p.s. I figured it out really quickly... click on the underlined part and you get the BIG SCREEN version of the picture... my belly on the WHOLE screen :) Now I see why your auntie Barb says my belly button looks like a black hole!

a present!

Hello my little sweet pea,

You sure have been moving around a lot the last day or so! It's such a neat feeling when it happens. I think you were enjoying the reggae music on the radio on my way to work... we'll have to try some other music out and see what you like best!

Guess what? We got a gift in the mail today from my friend Julia in Toronto. We used to work together at Emerald Lake Lodge but I haven't heard from her in awhile. Of course I had to take a picture to show you:

SO cute!! Just like you.

Love,

Mommy

Hello Sweet Thing,

I thought I'd share with you a little game that my workmates and I were playing the other day... there is a program on the net where you can create a mini version of yourself. Here is how mine turned out (and you're there too, in my belly!)

thumb sucker

Well hello there!

It's always such a treat to get to see you on Ultrasound... today we had another opportunity to do just that. Daddy and Grandma were there too, and for most of the time I had to watch their faces to see what was going on as I couldn't see the screen from where I was lying down! This is my favorite of the pictures that were taken, cause it looks as though you are sucking your thumb.

Nice to see you little one!
