The Quickie!

...no not that one piggies, this is the quick blog just to say that I'm going for my first ultrasound on Oct. 9th. That one pretty much confirms the due date (Apr. 12). Kristi's birthday is the 13th I think - Bev could confirm that! And a healthy fetus.

And we are going to register Adam for school on October 11th. He'll be going to St. Joseph's Catholic School in Sept. 2008, and Jay started playing hockey on Thursday nights. His team is mostly guys his age to 36 I think - or maybe 40.

Oh, and I decoraged a small area near my front door for Fall and it really looks cute. Bails of hay an assortment of pumpkins, gourds, sunflowers, a black iron ghost wire thing, and some pretty ribbons.

The entire town from 3 blocks before "downtown" to 3 "on the other side of town" has been decorated with corn stalks and bright orange ribbons on every street post, light post, speed signs, they are all covered. Next weekend is the biggest event of the year and that's Pumpkin Fest! Every buisness in town will start to decorate their stores and businesses for the "ANNUAL DECORATING CHALLENGE". Anyway, it's super pretty here right now! Another 2 weeks and I think all the trees will be changed.

Anyway, that's it, I'm going to read my delicious book - Fallen

All of us!

1st Trimester is almost over!

...This is day number 78 and you're 11 weeks pregnant!You have 202 days or 29 weeks left, and are 27.5% of the way there.Baby's age since conception is 64 days or 9 weeks.Your baby weighs about 7 grams, is about 2 inches long, and in an ultrasound will look a bit out of proportion. He or she has toes, eyes, ears, fingernails and lips, but the head is still about one-half the total size of its body.

I go for my first doctor's appt on Tuesaday Sept. 25. I'm hoping he'll send me for an ultrasound that week. April seems so far away. Today, Mom & Dad are coming for a visit and we're going to go to Smiths Apple Farm to get some apples. Jay, Adam and I went last weekend but we've eaten all our stock. Next visitors before the winter sets in is going to be Gup, Yen and Felicia on the weekend of October 26,27 & 28. They were here when we moved up but have not seen our house since then.

Time to go grocery shopping and throw a load of laundry in... exciting stuff!

WOW!

So to my biggest suprise today, as usual I log onto the Windsor Star website to see the news in Windsor, and staring me right in the face on the cover was my sister Bev and a bunch of family members walking the Winners Walk of Hope for Ovarian Cancer Canada! I'm trying to type right now, and am doing the best I can through very very teary eyes. God, I can't believe it. How strong you were through all of this and how much support and darn love and caring you got from your entire family. Not to mention how Marty had to become a fantastic house wife and do it all for a while!
And now I see you on the front page of the Windsor Star looking all sexy with that short hair, tan and huge smile! Go on, smile away! Never did you even complain! You're fantastic!

I'm going to go take a walk down to the lake tonight and complete my own 5k for you. It's the least I can do!

Taking a walk won't be so hard today since my morning sickness is starting to subside and the fatigue is nearing the end. NOT THAT I'M COMPLAINING! Adam and I tried to go for a hike this morning on the Biener's Ski Trails (beautiful spot) but it was cut short due to some pregnant woman getting sick in the woods. There's going to be a beautiful sunset tonight and I don't want to miss it. I have so much to be thankful for - it's always a great time to just go sit and reflect. Plus, I can get a raspberry frozen yogurt in a waffle cone and eat it all by myself. I'm nearing my 9th week. Only 31 to go!

The next time we'll be in Windsor is going to be a terribly rushed visit but we'll do our best to see everyone. Hopefully everyone can make it for breakfast on Saturday morning! Next year, I'd like to have Thanksgiving! Some could sleep here, and some could sleep and mom and dads. Or everyone can sleep here and we'll just sleep on top of eachother! I know everyone is always so busy on the holidays but we have to make a point of seeing eachother as much as possible! Even from 400kms away!

We miss all of you so much!

Mich, Jay and Adam - and baby embryo/almost fetus. Oh, and Carson too. He gets sad when I leave him out!
