So much has happened since my last post and for those of you who are reading my blog, I will make much more of an effort to post regular updates.
S and I had a 3D ultrasound done and we found out it’s a girl :) We’ve registered at Babiesrus and, ordered and put together her furniture. S painted her room last weekend and has been fussing over all the stuff family and friends have been giving us for her. I tell you, our little girl has her Dad wrapped around her pinky finger already...he is in deep trouble when she’s born :)
S and I finally chose a name. We struggled with this so much and I’m relieved we agreed on something. Our daughter’s name Isla...I love the way it sounds! And now the battle for her middle name begins...
My shower is on January 2/11. I’ll be pushing 37 weeks by then and I know I’m cutting it close but we’ve had some recent family deaths and I didn’t feel right having a shower in the midst of grief and sadness. Fingers crossed that my daughter and I will make it to her party.
Isla is moving around much more now and dancing up a storm in my belly. I love the movements she makes when I’m waking up in the morning...feeling her move makes me feel like she is waking up with me. I feel like I’m bonding more and more with her every day. I love my little Isla so much already and can’t wait to meet her!
And speaking of my belly, I finally popped at about 28 weeks. I actually look pregnant and not just fat. I will post belly pics as soon as I can.
Work continues to stress me out but hey, I’ve only got 4 more weeks left and then hello maternity leave! I’m so grateful that we get a full year of maternity leave in Canada. I have no intentions of returning to my job when my year is up and a year off of work will give me lots of time to think about what direction I want my career to take.
And in a nutshell, that’s what’s been going on with me.
