Full Term

So, I finally made it. The pregnancy and Mr. Magoo are considered term. If I was to go into labour now the doctors wouldn't do anything to try and stop it. It's pretty exciting that in less than a month there's going to be a newborn in this house. Pretty amazing that Craig and I made a baby. Sex is wonderful!

So Craig and I are pretty much the only Martins in town this weekend besides Pete and Sheri. Wayne and Leah and Lisa and Matthew are up at Uncle Jim's cottage. They've been there since last Sunday and will leave tomorrow for Lisa's wedding in Las Vagas. I think Wayne and Leah are returning on Tuesday with Matthew.

We've been looking after Felix but he had started spraying in the house so yesterday morning we took him home. He even peed on the rocking chair. I was so upset I cried. We didn't even get to use it and it was ruined already.
Mum and Dad left for Kipawa late last night, 1 AM or something. They'll be gone until next weekend and then they're camping at the Oinery Aug 19-21. There's not too many days left for the baby to come especially since Danny and Helen are getting married August 27. That's only 6 days after I'm due. I hope the baby's here by then so everyone can see him!

So all the baby shopping is done. We have everything we need and more! Lisa loaned us a ton of clothes. Three boxes! We ended up keeping about a box. There was so much the baby would never get the chance to wear it all. I still don't feel like the room's done but I can't put my finger on what it is that's incomplete. Once I figure it out I'll have to take a picture.

We visited Chad last night. Tom was there too. It was nice to touch base. So Chad's going to be our messenger when the baby's born. He'll call everyone and let them know. It's great that he's so interested. Tom and Chad felt the baby's hiccups too. They thought that was pretty cool!

36 Weeks

36 weeks and the stretch marks are comin'!

No Break From the Heat!

I never did get back to that entry the other day. I had every intention to though.

Once again this week has been stifling hot. It reached 35.3C yesterday and that was without the humidity. The temperature was similar today. I heard on the news last week that June was the hottest June on record. Thirteen days were above 30 degrees and 10 days broke records! Now I can truly say I was pregnant during the hottest summer ever. I wonder how July will compare. If these temperatures keep up, I have no doubt that July will break records too. So much for enjoying a cool, rainy summer like last year.

It rained this afternoon for the first time in over a month. I've taken advantage of the temporary break in the heat to do a bit of work on the baby's room. It's been such a mess since the shower but I haven't had the stamina to even get in there because it's been so stinkin' hot and humid. I'm considering rearranging it... but how? Maybe I'll just leave it as-is. Less work. Better get back to work before I have to pick up Craig from work.

Countdown

The weeks left until my due date are quickly becoming days. Fourty-one days to be exact. I only have 9 days of work left. That's scary. No more alarm clock, no more curriculum sheets... it's going to be really strange.

Baby Shower

So it's not that I haven't wanted to write, I've just been so busy with so many other things lately. Things like the baby shower that was last weekend at Sheri's. We received so much wonderful stuff for the baby; I said to everyone that it's a little overwhelming that there's so many people who support our having a baby. Many babysitters and advice givers. Donna bought us a playpen. We think we're going to leave it with Mum and Dad since we really don't stay overnight anywhere else. Everybody in town, even if they babysit, is close enough to either come here, or we can set the baby up on the floor or surrounded by pillows on the bed.

Today Craig and I are going to Niagara Falls with Wayne and Leah and Lisa and Matthew. Leah has packed a picnic lunch for everyone. The weather's supposed to be beautiful.

Only 7 weeks to go... hard to believe!!
