Finally.........

FINALLY March is here.......the countdown can really begin now.......24 days until baby #5 is due and I can't wait till I can walk up the stairs again without feeling like I have a 30lb watermelon between my legs......yah, it's getting to me:) I will be 37 weeks on Wednesday and will be fishing around about potential induction dates at my appt on Thursday. Last week I lost 3.2 lbs and the blood pressure was up, so maybe if I can get it up again she just take me in.......wishful thinking I'm sure...... NOW.......onto my other exciting news.......

Bath & Body Works now SHIPS to Canada......I was so excited to find out last night from another friend that I had to hurry on the site and check it out. I won't feel soooooo bad about using my soap anymore, I do have a huge stock pile of it currently but try to make it last, never knowing when I will get more. It made my night!!! Nothing else too exciting to report, the other 4 kids are doing well. Jessica is becoming very good on the piano.....I will have to take some video of her most recent piece. I am quite impressed at how quickly she is picking it up. She will be playing in the Kiwanis Musical Festival next month and I can't wait to hear her. Sarah is loving her Sparks still and really starting to come out of her quiet shell.....somedays it's good, other days not so much. Jacob is looking forward to turning 5 this month......where has 5 years gone???? I'm trying to get ambitious and make his party invitations up.........easier said then done with fat, swollen hands. That is the top of my list this week......atleast I know what to get him for his birthday now and just have to place the order this week. Where would I be without online shopping????? Georgia is and still remains my little firecracker. She keeps us hopping and is so full of energy. She has this fake laugh that is to die for.....you can see the video on my facebook. She is going to be fun to watch when the new baby comes. We spent some time with her cousins yesterday and she couldn't get enough of Karington.....I think she really thought she was a real live doll. She would get quite upset when I wouldn't let her hold her and walk with her. Fun times ahead......and hopefully having our own baby here 24/7 will just get old and boring for her. Jeff is still.......still.....still working on the office. It is starting to stress me out because I really need it done before this new bundle arrives and we are getting down to crunch time. I don't think he evens gets the amount of stress it is causing my head.......fingers and toes crossed it's done sooner then later. Lastly, I am working on a new project.....I've started another cross-stitch much to my husband's dismay. He hates watching TV or movies while I am crafting away in my seat, but it relaxes me and I just enjoy doing it. Hopefully I will finish it before the year is out because it is huge, and then I will have to decide what to do with it. I really just like doing them.......I will attach a picture of it......all the holidays (except Canada Day) are on there.......even the "Tooth Fairy".....something you can keep up year round!!!! Hope that March is good to everyone........especially Tanya.....hoping that her baby comes early or on time.......none of this April stuff. Can't wait to meet Miss Marley!!! It's fun seeing all the new babies coming again........Brant and Melissa Quist just had their 3rd baby......a boy.....yay for them....Bjorn Matthew was 10 lbs 2 oz......we can't wait to meet him either and see some photos of him!! I'm sure he is getting lots of love from those 2 older sisters!!!!


My current project........

Let the party begin... said...

Finally is right...about B&BW. I am excited that I too can use my soaps and wallflowers without having to worry about getting more. I can't wait to see the finish project, both of the office and your cross stitch. I hope this christmas I'll be able to display the one you made for me. I'll have to ask Jessica to play her recital piece for us when we come over next time. I'm sure looking forward to baby #5. I've already told you what my name suggestion should be, lol!

aaa the countdown. yay for you. i am stoked to meet baby #5.

b&b ships to canada. i am on my way to their site now :) thanks for the good news.

Well B&BW...now I can go through mine more too! How wonderful! I'm dying to see what flavor baby you're having!

Kellie said...

Only 24 days to go! I'm so envious! Hopefully you can swing an early induction.

And that's awesome about B&BW. I guess the closest one would be in like Maine or something? We have one in Edmonton (at the West Ed Mall) So I stock up when we go there.

Ariel said...

Hope you get to be induced!

So cute! Good luck with getting the office done. I know how it feels to have the stress of something like that hanging with a new baby on the way. I hope you get to go early!

Liz said...

Wow. I can't wait to see pics of the new baby when s/he makes their arrival.

The cross stitch is cool. You could probably just stick a Canadian Flag in there to make sure all of the important days are truly covered.

I hope your watermelon comes soon ;)

I can't wait for out little ones to be meet! I have been feeling for you all week and only imagining how you got through the past few months feeling terrible. One week of discomfort and I am complaining. I hope that the month goes by fast for you too! You probably don't have as long as you think left! As uncomfortable as I have been I am still working on my To Do list and could use a few more weekends before Marley gets here! Good luck with your office; husbands sometimes don't get that things need to get done! I think that Colin has forgotten how much time a baby takes and how little time will have when she gets here:)

Christina said...

Thanks for keeping us in the loop! Fun to hear about Brant and Melissa's baby. Hope yours comes soon!

Gillian said...

That's a way cute cross stitch there! good luck on the office getting finished! I have totally been there and done that with those kind of stresses!! I must be completley deprived because I don't own any body and bathwork products!!

Becca Jane said...

I love that cross stitch! That's crazy that Jake is 5 already....5 years since we met then!! So cool about BBW, you'd think they would have done that a lot sooner to get more business.
And I hear ya on the watermelon thing....I felt like Allie was going to fall out of me for weeks!!

The Bing's said...

I am beyond ready to meet this baby it's not even funny! I'm also so ready to order bath and body works... whenever someone puts an order in I'll totally go in on it!!!! Super exciting!!!!!!! Love the latest cross stitch I want one!!!!!

Channynba said...

Man the count down is on...I can{t wait to see pictures of your new little one. I also love your new project. I love cross stitch.

What a great mom you are! I am barely coping with one, let alone doing crafts. I am still working on a cross-stitch I started when I was 12.
