BUMP

So everyone keeps commenting on how I look so pregnant all of a sudden, and I didn't want to miss moment in photos (these are more for me, but look on if you must). I made everyone take a few shots because I was so shocked as to how big I am looking. (This is the bump at 22 weeks)

I went out and bought maternity pants last week. Talk about a mentally stressful moment. Depressing in that all the pants fit everywhere except they are way too big in the stomach, odd because they are MATERNITY pants. HELLO, that is where I should need the space, but NOT THAT MUCH! Eventually, I am sure I will love it and will need them that big. I can also finally feel him kick. It is so weird feeling. Not much is new...

Halloween Party

We had a halloween party this weekend, and it was awesome. I thought Brandon's costume was Soooo perfect for him! I loved it.Bree is an amazing event planner who threw an awesome halloween party. We played the murder mystery game and carved pumpkins. Here they are as Clark Kent and Lois Lane.

Everybody dressed up. Mick is a wrestler, me a pink lady, Brandon and Bree, and Sarah and Denton were Wolverine and Phoenix from X-Men. So Fun!

And here is our pumkins we carved. Were are all pretty talented once we have the stencils from the book!

DREAM STREAMS

Belly Shots?

There isn't much to see, but its finally sticking out! The first is at 16 weeks the second is at 18. And they are 2 different shirts, just the same color! (I just noticed that).

Baby

Yes, Most people were WRONG! The girl we all thought would be joining us is a BOY! I was a little shocked to say the least. I have no idea why, I know its 50/50 but I just never imaged this child being a boy! Haha... So I am in the ultrasound and the baby is sitting in a yoga position - legs crossed, all relaxed. The ultrasound lady couldn't get him to move, he just loved his cuddly position, so she kept jabbing my stomach to make him move. It was so funny because he raised a finger (NOT the middle one, for those who know my dad) and shook his hand. SOOO cute. I was just thinking, this is so Mick's child, just loves sleeping. Other than that, we were there for 2 1/2 hours trying to get a profile picture of the child, so she gave me the CD of pictures for free. THATS MY BOY! Except that my boss wasn't that thrilled that I was gone for so long. So here is baby's first picture.




OH YES, and everyones comments seem to be, oh you are taking it so well. Or, I know you don't want to hear this, but I am so excited its a boy. I guess it was no secret Mick and I both thought it would be a girl, but I am still excited about the boy. I am just a little stressed because boy names are soooo tricky. If anyone has suggestions, I would love to hear them!

Calgary Temple

I am so excited, Calgary is getting a temple! This will be the 8th in Canada, but also exciting because the closest 2 are 3 hours away (one is Cardston, the temple shown above). I know other people have a further distance to go, but having one here is sooooooooooo convenient.
