Update

It has been a busy week this last week. Mick finally got his letter to go for his immigration interview. He recieved his work permit in November but we had to go downtown and speak with the immigration office to finalize all of his paperwork. He is now a legal 'permanent resident' of Canada. So he has the same rights as being a citizen he just can't vote and doesn't have to pull jury duty. The interview was interesting because we were both nervous about me being pregnant. I had to sign a paper saying I would financially support him if needed for the next three years. I just thought they would see me large with child and think, okay if he lost his job and you have to support him, how do you think you are going to go about doing that? I was all prepared to defend myself by explaining my maternity leave payments and savings. When we got to the interview waiting room, however, I would say 70% of the Canadians in the couples were women and most of them were carrying around babies. It made us think, when we filled out the application, most of the questions we answered and documents we had to provide were to prove that it was a legitimate marriage and not just for immigration. SO HELLO, A child only HELPS the issue. They didn't want to see dating and wedding photos and hear how we met just so they can get to know us a little better!





After the immigration interview was over I only had one day left of work. I could totally relax and I thought, NOW this baby can come anytime. I just didn't want to leave the hospital to run to the interview. I had a wonderful baby shower on saturday so I am feeling a lot more prepared, and I have asked everyone so many questions, I think I can handle this.





So today was my first day home from work. I thought I would sleep in and watch TV but I thought I better get the house clean. Lucky for me my mom is also very motivated to get the house clean, so it is basically organized. I am sooooo happy. Now we just have to finish sewing my crib bedding and we are ready to go!
