and the months they fly by....

here we are in the 6th month of pregancy already! 27 weeks along. My goodness this pregnancy is by far the fastest one yet! I am feeling so much better, now that the delightful nausea has passed. I am getting a wee bit uncomfortable at night, finding the right position, needing to pee, and getting thirsty but not wanting to move. However I am so thankful I have yet to experience any heartburn ( i know it's just around the bend) The kids have just experienced their first ever flu. That was fun, Mothers day was Kyries start date, and this long weekend Coles turn! Glad to have this end. Having flu and not in suite laundry does not bode well. I have as in all my pregnancies, been nesting like the dickens. I seriously go crazy at what I get accomplished while preggers. If I could just stay pregnant the rest of my life (minus the nausea of course) I could change the world. This pregnancy has been all about the furniture restoration and getting my craft on. So far I have: Thrifted and painted and had new foam cut and fabric put on a delicous phone bench that we can't fit in our current abode. Refinished a beautiful oak coffee table (also thrifted) stripped and stained the top and painted the legs white Painted a hand me down dresser in 5 tone on tone shades of yellow Painted an end table ( and have to finish the checkerboard pattern on top so we can use it for checkers) Painted the babys cradle yellow Sewn cradle sheets Sewn a cover for our new poang nursing chair from Ikea Sewn more newborn cloth diapers Finished our baby's closet nursery room and almost fully stocked it Gone crazy hemming up pants for the familia Purged and Purged and Purged some more making as much space as possible for this soon to be family of 5 I think I am almost done everything I wanted to do. We have a few more boxes to take to mom and dads storage facility, and a couple of baby clothes to bring back here. Other than that I think we are just about set. Which is lovley. Now I can just enjoy these last few days/months EVER of being pregnant. I know once June hits it's over. With my sisters wedding, choir concerts, Coles school coming to a close, then my trip to Calgary, i basically get home and could very well have a baby any day.... so it feels wonderful to be done all the stuff. Jer and I have also been feeling so much better about our living sitch as well. We have applied to the one co-op we would love to live in and were getting a bit sad about not hearing anything. However after by chance seeing a townhome directly across from Coles school, I decided to just for fun look into things, and it turns out because of this wonderful thing called equity, we can afford a top floor/apartment townhome, with our own front door, no backyard but a covered carport and a big ass balcony that I can turn into my outdoor paradise. So we are thinking we are going to wait until our mortgage comes up for renewl next February and then hopefully move up the real estate ladder. This is why I went full blown over board in decorating a nursery, knowing we will be here until baby is about 6 months (truth be told my babies stay in my bed most of that time anyways) but it was fun to decorate anyways, and is a pretty space to keep babys things in. So feeling positive, feeling unbelievably blessed, and feeling so thankful that this baby decided to make us third time parents.
