Holy Crap Time Flies By!!!!

On Saturday Zach turned the big 2!!! We had a lunchtime party for him. We made some pizza - cause I am not paying 50 dollars for the pizza to be delivered when I can spend 30 at the grocery store and make it myself! We had some chocolate cake - which I might add both of the kids enjoyed without the use of forks and hands! They were hilarious to watch eating it only with their mouths! I think they both just licked all the icing off and that was the end of it! We did our party and then that afternoon I took Dani to a friends daughters party and then that night Chris and I went out to a murder mystery / birthday party for the fire chief. It was a pretty busy kind of day. I sang karaoke! HAHAHAHA BJ I know what your thinking! I told them I was practising for Canadian Idol! I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to my mom for the hours of ear piercing caterwauling she had to endure in the car on the way to cadets and back for three nights a week, one hour each way, for six consecutive years. Unlike fine wine mom, this hasn't improved with age! I now know why all these bands sing all these different songs - so I don't have to! I have slowly been crossing the "to do" list off. All I have left to do now is make up the bed downstairs for my mom, tidy up the house, do the laundry and get our stuff packed to go to the city. I have 2 and a half days left before we leave for Whitehorse. Holy Crap! I better go and start the laundry there is a mountain down there to conquer! Talk later.

21 Days and counting!

Are you all sick and tired of hearing about my pregnancy woes and countdowns yet? Well guess what - only 21 more days till D day - so guess what else - I'm gonna keep on counting! Today marks 37 complete weeks! This one has gone by super quick. Had a candle party in Teslin on Sunday afternoon and then carried on into Whitehorse for my doc appt for Monday afternoon. Doc is going/did an internal exam so I didn't need the kids there having a look at what the doctor was doing to mommy so I was very fortunate to find a daycare in Whitehorse that took kids on a drop in basis. So of course because I was all geared up and ready to go home right after my appointment this lil gaffer decided to throw a wrench into my plans. When the doc did the internal she couldn't feel where the baby was positioned so then she decided to send me for an ultrasound to check the baby's position. So I had to stay an extra night in Whitehorse plus arrange for the daycare to take the kids for the next morning. Ultrasound went really good - baby is not ass backward like she thought it might be. It is head down its just high up still. Which doesn't really mean anything to me considering the day before I went into labour with Dani she told me that she was still pretty high and that it wouldn't be for a week or so yet. Two days later my peanut was here. So anyway I got home last night. Tonight I am packing things to go into Whitehorse with - I want to have it ready by the door in case we have to make a middle of the night getaway! Chris says the baby can't come in January otherwise I have to go and get the stones in a mothers ring he bought me changed! While he was away on course in Vancouver he bought a ring for me with all the kids and our birthstones in it. He picked out an awesome ring however I haven't been able to wear it lately cause my hands are pretty swollen. My wedding rings fit a little more loosley so I am still able to wear them. I will get the other ring sized properly when I go home in June. Anyway off to sears to get Dani's new bed - chit chat with you later.

I've been neglecting you!

I have been neglecting this blog for the last month - so of course here are the updates! Dani turned THREE on Dec 31. Zach is turning TWO on Jan 27. I can't believe how fast they are growing up! Dani is definately her mothers daughter - she talks constantly! Christmas was awesome here. Friends of ours made the comment that it looked like we had robbed a Toys 'R' Us store. The kids were totally spoiled this year. It is nice to have some age appropriate toys for them. All the stuff we had before christmas was still pretty much baby stuff. Now Zach looks like he owns a used car, truck, quad, motorcycle, and airplane lot. Dani looks like she is ready to go into the restaurant business any day now! New years was great. Aside from a tasty chocolate b-day cake we had a big fondue party. We had about 12 people here for eats. On the pregnancy front... I have been doing much better since I got a pelvic belt. Since the 22 of December I haven't been able to walk all that great and by Dec 28 I wasn't moving hardly at all. So I went to the quack here and asked what could be wrong and if there was anything they could do to help with the pain. She didn't know what was wrong and in a readers digest version of our conversation she more or less told me to go relax and suck it up. HELLO!!!!! I have two toddlers to chase around all day I can't just go and park my ass on the couch and expect Dani to take care of the household! Chris had to work over christmas so things were left up to me to do. So the doctor phoned the next day and asked if I had put my feet up and if the pain was gone. I told her that I sat around as much as I could and that the pain was still there. So she again told me she didn't know what was wrong but if that it got any worse then they would medivac me. Meanwhile I'm thinking "like hell you are!" I'll have my hubbs drive my fat sorry ass to Whitehorse long before you medivac me! Anyway long story short - I had a doc appt on the 2 of January and within 5 minutes of talking to me (not my regular doc) she told me that I needed a pelvic belt to pull my hips together because the relaxin hormone that my body is making is causing everything to go all out of whack! So why on earth did the idiot stick here not know what was going on - it seems like its a pretty common problem amongst us fatties! I had a preggo woman approach me in wal-mart (actually I was in the McDonalds there - stuffing my face) and we had finished eating and I was putting this belt back on when she came over and asked me what it was and what it was for and where she could get one. I am down to the once a week appointments now. I go to Teslin tomorrow to do a candle party and then the kids and I are going to go into Whitehorse for my appointment for Monday. Doc is doing an internal exam this week - YEEHAWWW!!!! So now I have to either find someone to watch the kiddies for me while I'm in with the doc or take the buggy and park them outside the door. I'll figure something out. Zach is sleeping in his big boy bed now - FINALLY!!!! We have been trying to get him to make the switch since we moved here but he would have no part of it! Last night was the first night he spent the whole night in his bed. Good thing too cause this baby is coming sooner than later! I leave for Whitehorse on Feb 1 to wait out my last two weeks. I have been wracking my brain trying to think of what I will need to take with me to make it as comfy as possible. We aren't staying with friends this time but in a somewhat furnished but only with the bare neccessaties duplex that Chris's employer offers for people who are moving or in town for training or medical purposes. It will be nice to have the kitchen facilities - no matter how limited the supplies are - cause then we aren't eating out every single day. Imagine me being two weeks late - I would be the main star in that show supersize me!!! So now I am off to make supper - I can neglect this blog without hearing about it but as soon as those kiddos of mine are hungry...... I will be back with an update of some sort maybe on Tuesday - if not then before I leave to go to the city. Oh ya.....pictures - there coming!
