Huh?

Finally packed the hospital bag and just realized we will be coming home with a baby. A baby!

New Dimension

Today is my last day at work, which is bittersweet. The last few weeks have been tough because of my swollen feet and general heaviness, but I truly enjoy my job.

The same week I started this job, I found out I was pregnant. Starting a new job that I love while preparing for the biggest life change possible has been somewhat challenging and a little bit messy. I'm not sure how I'm going to like being at home for a year but am certain that it will bring many new obstacles and opportunities for growth as a wife, daughter, woman, and mum.

Sole to Soul

My feet are now so swollen that these Lady's Cosyfeet (Model "Poppy") may be the only thing I can wear over the next two weeks! Thank goodness they come in a range of colours, including fuscia!

Perfect Autumn Day

So happy the baby will be born during our favourite season.

37 weeks and crappy photos

I can't stop thinking about the fact that I am going to be somebody's MUMMY anytime now.

Silver Lining

I started today a bit of a gloomy Gus. My feet and ankles are extremely swollen, and I'm finding it difficult to accept that I physically can't do a lot of things I'm used to doing anymore. Working is becoming a bit of a challenge, but I'm counting the days (only 8 more!). Discovering that someone had drunk my Diet Coke was the last straw. Near tears, exhausted, and sore, I received an e-mail to speak to my supervisor regarding 2010 vacation time. When I left her office, I discovered that all my coworkers had gathered around a beautiful cake, flowers, balloons, and a "Baby Shower" banner. Everyone had signed a card, and I received a cuddly stuffed lamb and a $100 gift certificate for Babies R Us. It was quite the surprise and really made me feel better.

Nesting

I had my baby shower this weekend. The baby and I received so many thoughtful gifts, it was all a bit overwhelming! Yummy food and great guests made this a wonderful get-together.
