December Daily: December 1st- December 4th

I'm a bit behind but i don't really care...and plus i have to go to walmart to get my pics done..and i don't feel like trekking out in the snow for a few pics every day! So with that said, here is day one to day 4!!

Here is the Cover of my December daily just to start out with:

Day One:

I used pictures from the weekend just because December 1st we didn't do too much...except take Kaden to the hospital because we were concerned that he had a bladder infection. But he does not and he is feeling much better. So i didn't take any pics that day. So the pics i did use was when Kaden and I baked some sugar cookies which we all took part in eating the finished product. They were yummy!!

When i started i just had the snowflake transparency page and realized that i needed to add a page for the pictures and journaling. Hence the added red pages.

Day Two:

Day Three:

Tried forever to get a good pic of Kaden and I together and this is what i ended up with! We just chilled at home on this day!

Day Four:

This pic was actually taken before December started but you have to add the classic pic of sitting on Santa's knee. As you can see Kaden was not impressed at all even with the candy! This was his first time sitting with Santa.

Well i will be back with pictures of the next few days completed prob next week sometime...pretty busy this weekend with parties!

Basement Renos Have Begun!!

Well I wrote awhile back that i was going to post some before pics of our guest/office that we want downstairs...well with baby coming the updating is starting to happen!! We bought paint, it is going to be the same color as the nursery. We are just taping and Peter is going to have to do a little mudding cuz there is a tonne of holes..which to be honest i would just paint over but he is a perfectionist. If he wants to do that then that's cool with me! So here are a few pics:

Don't you love the previous owners stripe technique...hee hee...looks like a circus room. Peter is hoping to do quite a bit of reno on the basement during the Christmas break...I'm pretty excited about that. Our basement is an untapped resource..has Peter would say!

Also with the December Daily i will be working on that on sat so you will have to wait till next week to see some of the finished project. I will be posting weekly on this project..just b/c i don't have a photo printer (which I am really wanting for Christmas...Peter are you listening!!) and i don't feel like going to walmart every day! If anyone out there knows of a really good quality, affordable photo printer that prints not just 4X6...let me know...I've been scoping them out but am not always the best a picking this kinda stuff!

Kaden and I watched Rudolph the Reindeer tonight. I haven't watched that movie in a long time...it frightened Kaden a bit, but it was fun to watch with him! Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season!!

December daily

I wanted to share a project that i am going to be doing for December...it's called the December daily...i got the idea from a blog i read! http://www.aliedwards.typepad.com/ ...her blog is always inspiring to me!! I will be posting more and more of the finished project as days go by in December!

I am really excited about this because it has been awhile since i have scrapbooked and i have really missed how relaxing it is for me! After this project i am hoping to continue to work on kaden's birth to a year pages and other special moments in his life! I would love to get this done before baby#2 comes!!
I am feeling a lot better! I have to now wear maternity jeans and tops. I have an ultrasound in Dec that i am excited for!! We are not finding out what the baby's sex is this time around. The snow is here and it is nice...i like it! The Christmas tree is up and i have almost finished my Christmas shopping and a few presents are wrapped up! I love buying presents for people and wrapping and making them look all pretty!! I LOVE Christmas!!! Peter's family are coming here for Christmas and i am excited that we will be home this year to celebrate!! I can't wait to see the excitement on Kaden's and Liam's face!! I am really looking forward to them all coming...it will a tonne of fun! Well i am off to make some Christmas cards for a friend and maybe make some sugar cookies with the little man!

Oh and here is a pic of Kaden on Halloween!! I know a little delayed but it is a really cute pic i just had to add it!!!

Peter and I are heading into the city to get some shopping done..nope not for christmas..i wish! Peter has to get a few things for his truck and then we are heading to IKEA!!! Yeah hopefully i will snag some great things for my office downstairs. Hopefully soon i will get some before and after pics and post them here!! Also we are staying with some wonderful friends...can't wait to visit them!!

Have a great weekend!!!

New Niece

Well last week i visited my sister because she, has i suspected was going to have her baby girl early and she did. Rachael was born November 7th. coincidentally we were heading to the city that weekend as well!! So it worked out great. I only wish that i could have left that night when she texted me and said it was time! But Kaden and i headed out that morning and met Rachael around noon!!

I stayed with my sister for about 5 days. I thought i would be doing everything for her, passing baby, laundry, cleaning, food prep etc....NOPE. My sister was doing awesome! She was moving around like nothing happened. She was doing laundry and cooking roasts.

Rachael is doing great. She is sleeping alot and had a bit of jaundice. But she was eating just fine!

Kaden wanted so badly to touch her and give her blankets, kisses and just be near her...but Rachael only weighed 5 pounds 14 ounces so him being around her made me a bit nervous.

We'll See We'll See

Yesterday was my second doctor's appointment for the little bun in the oven. My doc told me the baby was due around April 12. I like that date..and hopefully that is when baby wants to come! But I really am thinking that the date should be later in the month. I will have to get my ultrasound in Edmonton because of the lady who does ultrasounds here only comes 3 times a week. So I'll find out what the ultrasound says and keep everyone updated.
This pregnancy has been a bit rougher then last time. I felt very nauseated for the first three months and now that I am in my fourth month I am getting headaches every day...bad ones. The last two days have been alright so hopefully it is getting better. My hormones this time are out of whack...I am feeling very unmotivated, tired, grumpy, and I have very little patience. I feel so very bad for Kaden because I am not playing with him as much as I should. I really hope these feelings will pass soon. Also it doesn't help that I feel incredibly horrible about myself...although i haven't gained any weight yet...I feel fat and I hate my clothes. Sorry for the depressing end of this post! I am hopeful that this will pass and I trust that God is getting me through this!

Thanksgiving

I just want to wish everyone a great thanksgiving! We are heading to Edmonton to see family and to celebrate Liam's 2nd birthday!
I am thankful for great family, an awesome husband that loves me for me! A beautiful son that surprises me daily and always brings a smile to my face! Also i am thankful for the baby that God has blessed us with! What are you thankful for????
