this and that

I know I haven't really been blogging much here lately so here's a little catchup post on what we've been up to in the last little while.

Spring has sprungand the days have been pretty amazing

we've been visiting new borns

and practicing feeding and burping

spending most weekends at the hardware store choosing all the different things for our renovationcatching up with friends
and enjoying some good foodand even cooking some, togetherand taking cheesy photos while we do :Pbaby's crib arrived

and I'm still working on that blanket

but s/he will be here before we know it

we're still enjoying our morning walks, but I don't go as often as I used to, since sleeping is not so easy anymore - so Bryce let's me sleep in while he takes them out :)

time is flying by
we're finishing up our birthing classes this week - which I am not sure makes us qualified, but that's the idea...
McKenzie has been bitten by a bee, caught a cold, and told she has to cut down on the treats by her vet...

and she still doesn't like dress ups...I think Coop knows something's up, but just hasn't figured out what yet.

McKenzie's BFF Max has come to visit a few times, which makes for some tired puppies :)

I found the perfect frames for my vintage childhood records -

we used to play these every time I slept over at my nanna's house

but the days just seem to run into each other these days...

we're just trying to savour every moment

welcome Savannah Reese

Born Tuesday 8 March at 12:18pm, at about 7.5 pounds. I finally got to meet baby Savannah last night, and she is such a little cutie. Basically a little clone of her dad (but way cuter), she has these amazingly long dark eyelashes, tiny long fingers and seems to be a happy little girl.

Melita is tired but so happy to be home with their little bundle of joy. Cody is the total doting dad, and it's pretty sweet to watch him with her :)

we're so happy for the 3 of you.

kisses and hugs

I'm not the only one with a baby bump...

since she hasn't mentioned it on here (that I can recall), I'm going to spill the beans and let you know that Melita and Cody are having a baby.

Today!

they were officially due on Saturday but with no signs of labour, today they're in the hospital where they're making it all happen :) here's probably the last photo of them as non-parents that I took last night at dinner. (sorry about the crappy iphone photo...)

so cross your fingers and send good thoughts their way :)

7 months

I always thought that having a baby would be quite the drawn out ordeal, but it seems like time is just flying by for me. every few weeks I look in the mirror and think woah, who is that!? - watching my body change is really the most surprising thing for me. I mean I knew I'd get bigger, but there are days when it feels like I wake up and overnight my belly has popped out again...

I am sleeping really well, and feeling really good - so I am thankful for that. the baby has become really active these days and this morning it felt like s/he was having a little punching session.

bryce and I are starting birthing lessons next week, so maybe that's when I'll start freaking out a little more...
