Home stretch!

Hi everyone!

I still can't believe how fast time is going! We're 38 days away until our "due" date.

Well, I was spoiled last week! I was off all week for spring break and started really focussing on the baby stuff. It felt great to wash the little outfits that we have and start organizing the babies room (its work in progress!)

On Saturday Neil and I assembled our furniture! Neil did an amazing job! He had to do most of the work since lifting is not in my cards these days.

We are still working on the nursery on evenings this week - it WILL be done by the weekend! :)

I have 4 weeks of work left. I'm really looking forward to being home and again getting ready for Cyan.

This weekend will be a good one! I have some girlfriends coming by for a little shower. I can't wait to see everyone and celebrate with them.

Here's daddy Neil assembling the crib, more pics to come once the nursery is fully set up!

Love,

Ladéna, Neil and Cyan

My oh my!

Hello all!

Wow, I can't believe we are almost at the 50 day mark. Baby's arrival is fast approching!

Neil and I did a prenatal class at the hospital this weekend. It was a great experience. There were 12 couples, most due around May. So many questions were answered and topics brought up. Now my mind is overloaded! I feel like I have so much to do!

One of the things we did on our course was visit the labor and delivery floor. Wow, it made me so excited. I really can't wait to meet this little person. It was great to see where I will be going and what to expect. I reassured my mom and Gen that there is place for all the family in the labour rooms (I'll have to share that with Phil and Lee too!! but they can wait in the hall with my dad - hehehe) and that the hospital is good about having visitors.

I will be picking up my nursery furniture next weekend and setting up the baby room on my week off for spring break! I can't wait to see what it will look like, I'm sure it will be great!

Keep your emails and comments coming!

Spring is almost here!

Bonjour everyone!

Well, we've had a busy February which is why I haven't posted anything for a while.

Baby is growing lots, I am feeling more and more kicks everyday. So does anyone out there want to start betting if we're having a boy or girl?? hehehehe!

We finally bought our crib yesterday! I was so happy to get that out of the way. We will be picking it up in the next few weeks and setting it up in the nursery soon after that. Check out the pic below.

Neil and I have our prenatal classes next weekend. Should be very informative! We are taking a 2 day class at the hospital where I will deliver. Neil's a little worried about seeing the videos but I've assured him that everything will be ok! I'll update everyone on how it went.

Here's a new pic of me and my tummy. Neil has been documenting babies growth so amazingly. I love all the pictures he's taken. Cyan is a lucky baby - to have all its life documented like this.

Thanks for checking in!

A romantic getaway!

Salut! Hello!

Neil and I just returned from an amazing weekend away at Poet's Cove Resort and Spa on Pender Island. Neil has been doing the marketing (and the website http://www.poetscove.com) for the resort and he suggested we check it out.

We left after work on Friday and enjoyed 2 nights of pampering. What a great place! We swam on Friday night in their outdoor heated pool, we dined in their restaurant, went for beautiful walks along the ocean. Everything you'd want and more in a last little getaway before baby. I highly recommend Poet's Cove to anyone that lives here or comes for a visit. Baby really loved being on vacation. Cyan kicked constantly... I think he/she knew we were away... :)

All else is going well. We are getting more and more set up. I will be buying the nursery furniture at the end of the month. We have our stroller and I've started buying some of the cloth diapers I want to use.

My tummy is still looking great! I love the changes I see weekly. Neil loves it too!

Hope everyone is well! Check out some shots of us at Poet's Cove!

love

100 left!!

Hi everyone!

Today's a big day! Officially 100 days until our "due" date.

Time is sure flying by.

I'm feeling super excited though!

Thanks to all of you that have written great comments on the blog site. Keep them coming!

Getting bigger!

Bonjour! Hello!

Things are going great here. Baby is kicking so much lately, I love feeling it! Neil hasn't had the opportunity to feel the kicks yet, but he hears about them. I hope they'll be stronger soon so he can understand how great it is! I'm already 25 weeks pregnant! Time is sure flying by!

I've started my yoga classes again and am trying to go swimming at least once a week.

Wanted to share some new pics with everyone! My belly feels ALOT bigger than it looks in the pics. LOL... to think its only going to get bigger.

Enjoy and keep in touch!

Happy New Year! Bonne Année!

Bonjour! Hello!



Happy New Year everyone! I know so many of us have a great year ahead of us. I hope everyone had a fun holiday season!



All is going well here with me and Neil and our little baby. I am growing lots lately. I'll take a good picture this weekend and add it to the site soon!



I just came back from the States with my mom and sister to go do some baby shopping! We had such a great time. I picked up our baby linens and lots of other fun stuff for Cyan. Check them out!







We still have quite the list of things to buy and get done before baby arrives but I'm not worried yet! We still have over 3 months!

Hope everyone is doing awesome!
