9 weeks.....

I'm terrible at keeping updates....just terrible.

I have *knock on wood* been pretty lucky so far pregnancy wise (paranoia aside). I have 'morning sickness', which is more like evening sickness for me. I feel not to bad in the mornings and early afternoon, but it really kicks in around supper time and lasts all night. It's always a treat to go to sleep because I wake up feeling better. I have not been physically sick, but the nausea is enough to keep me on my butt. Not counting the exhaustation....little tasks (like updating my blog) are so daunting. Not too long and I'm in my second trimester!! I hear it's compared to heaven....I can't wait to get there. Now...onto my 9 week survey!!

How far along? 9 weeks

Stat Changes: nausea is still on the baseline....no better, no worse. blech.

Total weight: total gain: two pounds....although the hospital scale weighed me at four pounds heavier than my home scale...I think we are going to become enemies.

Best moment this week: I'll go with my best moment from last week, because I didn't do my 8 week survey. I had an appointment last wednesday and the doctor checked for the babies heart beat!! So I got to see my little beaner on the ultrasound screen and watch his/her little heart flickering away....it was nothing short of amazing!

Worst moment this week: not having Jamie see his little beaner.

Gender: 11 more weeks until I can share that news! But I keep dreaming about our little boy....could it be a sign? No girl dreams as of yet!

Food cravings: junk food.....so not healthy. :/

Aversions: meat.......except the meat in a big mac, which really is that even meat? I can maybe have some with lunch, but I'm just really grossed out by it. Last night for supper I had mashed potatoes and baby carrots.

Belly Button in or out? In! Belly button ring also still in!

What I am looking forward to this week: again, I love each passing day! this is so fun!!

Milestones: having a quick ultrasound and getting to see beaner.

6 weeks....



How far along? 6 weeks

Stat Changes: increasing morning sickness, with a head cold addition. It's been a rough week!

Total weight: total gain: I think one pound, but I didn't have my glasses on this morning when I checked, lol.

Best moment this week: feeling more pregnant...and being ultra obsessive by starting to clean out the baby's room.

Worst moment this week: feeling increasingly sick. blech!! Yesterday afternoon I had to have a 3.5 hour nap just so I could escape the yuckiness.

Gender: 14 more weeks until I can share that news!

Food cravings: carbs...

Aversions: everything but carbs, haven't been eating too much besides popsicles.

Belly Button in or out? In!

What I am looking forward to this week: each passing day...i'm so grateful for all of this!!



Milestones: telling EVERYONE the news (and updating my blog!!)

5 weeks.....






How far along? 5 weeks

Stat Changes: not much so far, just a few more lovely preggo symptoms!!!! i'll cherish them forever i'm sure! ;)

Total weight: total gain: zero, considering our little beaner is still the size of a sesame seed, that zero weight gain is a good thing!

Best moment this week: telling everyone the news!! we tried our best to keep it a secret, i should have known that would not be possible!

Worst moment this week: yucky weather so i haven't been for a good walk, I hope it changes this week.

Gender: 15 more weeks until I can share that news!

Food cravings: Not really cravings, actually i haven't been craving for anything, just been turned off a lot of things, like healthy food, lol.

Aversions: veggies

Belly Button in or out? In!

What I am looking forward to this week: my first prenatal appointment on wednesday.

Milestones: telling EVERYONE the news (and updating my blog!!)

BIG, BIG news.....


Big news I almost thought we would never get to share!!!!

Jamie and I are expecting!!!!!!!! We are shocked, surprised, and so insanely happy with this new adventure.

Have you noticed that my blog hasn't been updated in forever? Yea, sorry about that. It kind of fell to the side, and then I decided that I wouldn't update until I had some good news....and now we finally have good news!!!!

We have been trying since January, so we are happy to finally say that we are pregnant!!

We found out on April 12th, which put me at exactly four weeks.

My due date is December 20th and I can't wait to share this new adventure in our lives with you!!

Bliss






My new camera arrived (finally) yesterday. I couldn't resist testing the waters! It's quite a bit different than my old one, so there is a bit of a learning curve there, but so far I am loving it! I will REALLY be testing the waters in two weeks when I do an engagement shoot and a wedding all in a few days! I'm excited and VERY nervous!

Speaking of photography....I have a little bit of NEWS!! My BFF Jana and I have decided to start our own photography business. She and I share the same intense passion for photography and have also always wanted to work together, so here is our chance! Jana currently lives in Ottawa (boo!), but is moving home in September (yay!) and we will embark on this new adventure!

Things are just starting off, but you can check us out on Flickr and also on our blog www.bliss-photos.blogspot.com. Hopefully, we can get our website up and going once we iron out all of our business details.

Thank you in advance for all of your support, we are very, very excited about Bliss Photography!!!!

Holla! I'm back! (and feeling creative)

I can't believe I just said Holla...forgive me, it's wee early in the morning!!

I'm back!! Where did I go you ask? A sweet, sunny vacation?

That is wishful thinking.

As much as I love Apple...they sure do make some CRAPPY power cords!! About two weeks ago the power cord for my Macbook MELTED!!!! Apparently this is a problem with Mac power cords, but I didn't know that. And when I went online to order another (100$!!) power cord, I discovered it's lower rating and awful reviews, but what else could I do? Lets face it, I can't live without my computer!

I risked death and destruction to my home by rigging up my power cord (which was sprouting wires) so that I could still use the computer. It never kept power for very long though, hence my blog disapperance!

But it finally got delivered and all is well.

A few newbies and yuckies to report...

-Our washer got repaired yesterday (after 3 weeks of being sick)
-Our new plasma broke yesterday (what luck we have)

-my new camera arrives today!!!!

(yes I finally broke down and ordered a new one!!)

In celebration of that, yesterday I added some sugar and spice to my other canon camera strap...

Back splash? Who needs that?

Apparently we did!

Yet another purchase we didn't need, but we'll surely enjoy!!

Last Thursday Jamie and I ventured into the big city of Campbellton in search of tile for our powder room in the basement, which we would like to finish in the fall/winter. Our thinking is that we can buy a little something here and there each month to make the expense seem not as great.

As we are tile shopping we run across some fab tumbled marble tile. I love it of course, but Jamie LOVES it and it becomes his one focus in life...we need a back splash for the kitchen. So we take home a sample to test it out.

Meanwhile I don't really find any tile for the bathroom, so hey...why not go through with this whole back splash thing? We can enjoy it now as opposed to some tile, which will sit in the basement until the fall. It's no surprise that Friday night we headed back up to Campbellton to order our backsplash.

We got the 1x1 tumbled tile...I can't remember the color name...but it's a neutral stone color that matches pretty well with our light grey countertops. I love it because it's simple and sleek enough without being boring. You know me, I love simple and sleek furnishings!!

The tile should arrive in 10 days...so look forward to another epic tile post that hopefully has a positive ending (we are installing it ourselves!!)

P.S....we also got a great price on the same type of tile (except in ivory and in
6x6) so I think we may have found bathroom tile after all!!
