Bob's Birthday

Well Bob turned 34 yesterday! We had a pretty slow day. We drove up to Olds to see his parents and got some fishing in and a great t-bone steak dinner that was excellent! I never ate so much! Bob was a little concerned about turning 34 but this morning he was over it. He feels comfortable again. He looks like the same loving husband to me!

As for me. I'm doing really well. I'm officially 22 weeks and 4 days. I have a little bump but the doctors say I'm really healthy and the the baby is growing well. I keep thinking one day I'll open my eyes and my belly will be huge!

I can feel lots of kicks. Sometimes I can even see them. The baby is kicking my bladder too which is annoying. Our ultrasounds have been such a show. This baby will definetly be a little performer. However it teases it's daddy because whenever Bob tries to feel the kicks it will stop. I like to think that the baby feels the warmth of Bob's hand and falls right to sleep. (that might be helpful when it's born)

On Saturday we bought a crib and change table from a guy that works at the same company as Bob. It's really nice, I can't wait to finish the nursery. We had Ethan's old crib but it was dark brown and clashed with the white furniture that I'm putting in the nursery. I looked into stripping it and painting it white but it would have cost more than what it cost us to buy the crib and change table.

I've decided that the colours for the room will be a base colour of chocolate brown. This way if I have a girl I can accent with pink and if I have a boy I will accent with baby blue which both look awesome with brown. Now I'm on the lookout from some brown baby bedding.

The basement is coming well. Bob and I have finalized a floor plan and soon we'll be off to get our permit. I'm anxious to get it done so I can start setting up the nursery. Right now it is still a computer room and a rather packed storage room. Bob is feeling a little overwhelmed but I keep reminding him to look at it one step at a time. We'll get it done.

Here's a picture from the pond where we went fishing: a goose resting on it's nest of eggs (six eggs, according to some young boys fishing close by)
