December the 23rd

This is our yesterday, a day late.

So Saturday morning, December the 23rd, rested and oh so happy to be on semi-vacation. We roll up the blinds and find.............. drum roll please.... A toilet sitting in our backyard.

hmmmm. Some folks bought the house next door, and are going to demolish it ( all the big ass houses are replacing the cute little bungalows) So buddy next door thinks that because and Oh so small part of the fence blew in during the crazy wind storm and then snow storm, that he can walk into our yard, our property and deposit all his shit from inside the house he is demolishing. I can so see problems in our midst. Oh yes so Jer goes over to talk with him and he tells Jer about some city Easment that our two homes are on ( and duh the normal thing would be that yes there may be an easment there, but dude there is a fence there. And the fence has been there for YEARS, so my guess would be that it kind marks a property line, we get half the easment and you get half the easment. Anyways my dad went over to talk to the guy, and everything is all sorted up but he did admit he WAS going to dump his shiznet into our yard. OUR YARD? There is a FENCE people... duh.

Oh yes and they begin construction on the house March 1st... 1 day before our new baby is due.
Boy oh boy are we going to have fun.

MMMMMM goodness


What a fabulous friday. Can I tell you how much I loved today. Yes I know the tone in this post is much more happy than the last. Because people I spent today well part of it working but the other part of it doing a little last minute shopping in my favorite part of Vancouver, Main Street between 20th and 27th. That area of town just makes me feel so alive. The vibe the energy the zoom zoom I just love it. Mabye it was that it's the holiday season and everyone's just so hip hop happy and all talky talky and friendly or mabye it was the delicious egg nog latte with a shot of caramel from the Saltspring Island Coffee Co. ( some of THE most delicious coffee in North America, I would say the world but nobody's been able to outdo Italy or Austria yet ( the 2 places jer and i have had THE most bestest smoothest love inducing cup of java ever) Okay but back to Main street, we have both always talked about loving that area of town and that if we ever get kicked out of our place on Pigott ( don't worry visitation rights to their first grandchild will so quickly be revoked) we would move to Main. How funkdillyicious it would be. But for now I look forward to taking the babbit to daddy's work and then hitting my most favorite vintage shops, and antique shops and specialty shops and showing my funked out kid what a fabulous and diverse city we call home. You know there really is no place like home for the holidays!

What you need to know:
About 2 percent of pregnant women have too much amniotic fluid (polyhydramnios). This condition is diagnosed with ultrasound Most cases are mild and are a result of a gradual buildup of fluid during the second half of pregnancy. About half the time, polyhydraminos goes away by itself. Some cases, however, begin as early as 16 weeks of pregnancy and often result in a very early delivery.

The most common cause of polyhydraminos is a birth defect of the central nervous system, gastrointestinal tract or bladder and kidneys Polyhydraminos may increase the risk of pregnancy complications including preterm rupture of the membranes, preterm birth, umbilical cord accidents, placental abruption, poor growth of the baby and stillbirth. Women with polyhydraminos are more likely to have a cesarean delivery and to have severe bleeding after delivery.

Okay this would be me freaking....
who the hell invented google.... sometimes too much information is BAD!
