Daily 5x7: #4

Mmmm so my "daily" 5x7s haven't been daily at this point but here's my latest one.

Daily 5x7: #3

Daily 5x7: #2

I've been using the Nutmeg Paper Pack and Nutmeg Candy Candy from Cosmo Cricket found at Jessica Sprague to create the last two (and probably many more) of my "Daily 5 x 7s".

Daily 5x7: #1

I have officially become a fan of digital scrapbooking! Since I haven't really been documenting anything about my pregnancy I decided in the middle of the night last night to change that! I'm making a minibook of (hopefully) daily thoughts, pictures, milestones etc. of the last half of my pregnancy. I'll be printing them out at the 5 x 7 size, hole punching them and using binder rings to make a book.

I completed my first page tonight and it was so much simpler and motivating to do it digitally than doing it with paper. I like the instant gratification! It's not really that shocking to me that I enjoy digital scrapbooking as I've always been a bit of a computer geek haha.

Here's is the first page of my book. I'm considering creating a separate "baby blog" and if I do I'll be sure to leave the link here!

Please don't take what I've written the wrong way, I feel like a bad pregnant woman considering all the "I love my body and all the changes that are going on" and "pregnancy is the most wonderful, delightful experience ever" blogs I've read lately but my words are honest. 

Our baby was 100% planned and 100% wanted and desired but I've felt pretty awful for the last 18 weeks. I am so happy that at the end of all this there will be a lovely little one as a part of our family. I also feel so grateful that becoming pregnant was really easy for us. 

I'm hoping that by doing this book I will be able to see more of what I enjoy about being pregnant. It will also provide our child with adequate material for therapy when they are adults "My mom didn't like being pregnant with me...." Just kidding ;)

ps. I realized I have a massive typo that I thought I had fixed but apparently it didn't work quite right. The picture I get printed will be right though!

Lately

Things have been pretty calm around here.

We got to hear the baby's heartbeat for the first time on Tuesday. I can't really describe how I felt hearing it- it was pretty amazing. This whole pregnancy thing feels a little bit more real now!

We've been dog-sitting for my inlaws since Sunday night.

He's pretty cute with his little sweater that he loves to wear! 

He even puts his head through to help me put it on him. 

I got to spend the afternoon with a lovely friend of mine. She was the first teacher I worked with and we've become great friends over the past 4 years. Her daughter is having a baby about 3 weeks before me so we had lots to chat about. 

Last night I decided to learn how to make a granny square. 

I think it's pretty good for a first attempt. The tutorial I used wasn't the clearest and I found another one I'd like to try out tonight. 

It's been warm enough to actually go outside for more than 5 minutes so I took advantage of the sunshine yesterday and went for a walk around our neighbourhood. Hopefully the weather keeps it up!

Last night we watched "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" last night which was a lot better than I thought it would be. I actually put down the laptop to watch which shocked the hubs. I'm normally a multitasker when we watch movies. We also watched "The Tooth Fairy"which was a great little mindless comedy. We're enjoying all the movies we can before baby gets here ;)

So that's what's been going on around here lately. 

PS. Still no camera cord...

In about 6 months....

In about 6 months we will be welcoming our first little cupcake! 

Back in November we found out we were pregnant and in this past week we've been sharing the good news with our friends and family. 

Nausea and extreme tiredness aside everything has been going great. 

I still don't quite feel pregnant.

We get to hear the heartbeat for the first time on Feb 1 and go for our 20 week ultrasound on March 2 and I'm sure those two things will make it feel more real. 

That and the fact that my pants don't fit anymore!

Only 6 more months!
