17 weeks!

So I am using my blog partially for my pregnancy journal:) So if curious you can read and if not, thats ok too. But I really want to write some where my experiences so I can look back on day and remember and compare for the next one! I can't believe I am already 17 weeks in some ways, but in other ways I can't wait for it to be June so I can cuddle and kiss my little babe.
Thankfully since Christmas day I have been starting to feel better, which has been a blessing. The two weeks before Christmas were quite rough as I was having bad headaches and back aches which were aggrevating the nasuea. My favorite things right now though is my stomach is starting to get rounder so i am starting to look more pregnant instead of just chubby in the mid section:)hehe But my most favorite thing is the little movements I am feeling in my belly! The little pokes and twitches of my little stinker moving at 3am after I get up to pee! I love going home at nigth and laying in bed really still because that's when I can feel the little movements! I can't wait for when I am further along and can really feel them, and when Dave can too! I know he will love it:) I kind of feel for the dads, the miss out on so much of this experience, and its hard to explain things to them....but I am thankful that God in trusted us women to carry this gift, what a blessing it is!

The not so fun thing that started yesterday is that my tailbone was huritng really bad when I sat down. I had to lean forward last night to take the pressure off my bone. I am going to have to start carry a pillow to work soon if this doens't stop..too much stretching!!!hehe

Anyways, thats my ramblings and updates for now...to be continued as things progress...

Our Christmas

Well, Christmas has come and gone again. In some ways I am sad but in others I am so looking forward to the next year so I am ready to move on to 2009!

The weather was so crazy this year and made for an interesting time around this season. Our christmas eve service was cancelled which was such a wierd feeling for me not going. So after waiting to see what the snow was going to do we headed over to David's sisters place for some munchies and family time. My parents joined us there as my brother and his wife were coming out the next day. we had a great Christmas eve, with lots of yummy food and lots of laughs. My nephew Josaih decided to entertain us with a sermon on how God lives in our hearts and we all had to tell him about God. If you knew this kid you would understand more why it was so funny. I don't think we have all lauged that hard in so long! It was a good old pentecostal fire and brimstone sermon!hehe

After that we headed back to my parents place where we slept over. I love waking up in my parents house on Christmas morning to the fire place roaring, music playing, all the lights lit up and of course the smell of waffles cooking. That's our traditional christmas breakfast; waffles, strawberries, and cream...yummmy:)

Dave and I did our own little gift exchange while we waited for my brother and sister in law to arrive. When they did we ate and then opened presents! By the time we were done it was already 2pm..the day goes by so fast! After presents and a game, we headed to abby to my aunts for dinner, more gifts and games:)

Boxing day was the Colbourne's Christmas day. we were blessed by David's sister with a beautiful gift basket of baby stuff, and much more;) It was a nice relaxing day as we were all so tired from the previous days activities:)

All in all a wonderful Christmas!

Yesterday, we headed out with David's brother and his wife(we are both due with in a week of eachother!) to future shop to see about boxing day sales. We had asked for some gift cards and money for Christmas as we wanted to save up for a camcorder for little Colbourne's arrival:) well, we got so blessed and found a good deal on boxing day that we were able to buy one! We both got the same one which was $200 off! Dave was already up fiddling with it this morning..he's pretty excited about his new toy:) Hope your Christmas was as wonderful as ours...can't wait to hear all about it!

Some more pics!

Four months!!!

Sugar Cookies gone wrong..

Dave and i spent a relaxing weekend together, finishing up christmas shopping and attempting to bake some cookies, and make our gingerbread train:) Well, the cookies tasted delicious but our $1 store cutters didn't do such a good job and left the big cookie in random peices. So we got creative and made some interesting shapes! Most importantly we had fun!!

Sunday afternoon was our gingergread train making time! We have decided that we wont do the train again, as we perfer making the houses:) But again still a good time!!

Love these! Great little icing bottles from Pamper Chef!

Yup, our cookie. Ended up making a map out of it:) And some fish and some other random things that David decorated:)

Our yummy Mess!!!

Another Tradition!

So I forgot to mention one of my christmas traditions earlier...so here it is! This one I started about 4 years ago when I lived in Vancouver. I didn't have many christmas decorations but I did manage to fall in love with one of these. I first discovered it at Granville Island and was so excited to find that Country Minture Gardens out in my neck of the woods sells them as well! See I like traditions but I am not very traditional. I like unique things, hence why I loved this little guy:) So here he is!

The Start of Christmas!!

Our Christmas kicked off this weekend with the cutting down of David's family christmas tree! The rain was coming down but light enough for us to enjoy this tradition. We headed up to the beautiful Columbia Valley to cut down our tree than headed back for a day of decorating, family time, and yummy food!

The Tree all dressed up!

So many to choose from!!

And the one we decided on!

I can't Get Full!

Ok, so I am still not feeling great, but I have good days and bad days now, instead of just all bad days. the thing is though that I am starting to get really hungry...all the time!! I didn't think this would hit this early, but I guess so!!! I can't eat a lot at once, so I find I can't really fill up, and I feel like I am hungry all the time. The worst are days when I feel gross, but I am starving...such a bad combination! Oh the fun journey, that changes daily:)hehe
