our boy

is getting bigger and bigger!

another ultra sound today and all seems to be going well in there. and as it turns out, due to the way he is positioned, he has actually been punching me, not kicking me. what a guy. xo

perfect

every time.

i don't even mind that it's monday...

after another great weekend like that one - busy but full of all the good stuff.

friday was roman day! jimmy and i headed out to see him and my boys and neens & sum were there too. SO good. i really need to make a trip out to winnipeg one of these days to see him. post baby and most definitely post winter. btw: um, it's FREEZING outside today! what the heck?

sat was another day full of great friends when we met nina at union and headed to p-town where my brother picked us up and we headed to bowmanville for lise's bday party.

(the cupcakes i made totally look more like cat heads than hearts - unintentional!!)

sitting in her apt surrounded by people i have been friends with for 15 years really made me aware of how lucky i am.

i'm so lucky i can bring my brother, my oldest and bestest buddy with me to things like this because it really just makes everything that much sweeter to have him there.

i'm lucky because my husband is a good, kind and loyal person who treats my friends like gold.

i am lucky that i have a circle of people that will always be the same, no matter how much we all change.

and i am lucky for a friend like my lisa who is 31 years of the best stuff a friend could ever be made of.

maybe lucky is the wrong word - maybe grateful is what i should say instead. but hey, i'm definitely feeling both.

love this.

saying bye bye

i hate leaving my girls every morning but this morning was particularly difficult - look at that little face!

soooo pretty!

i love love l.o.v.e. all of this!

anyone else used to watch the hills? i totally got jimmy hooked on it a few years ago. seems to me it's time to re-watch that slow moving train wreck.

sad day

my fave monkee is partying in rock n roll heaven now.

rip davy jones.

so good

our sweet little winnipegian is coming for a Toronto quickie this weekend and i can't lie - i'm a tad bit excited. please add roman to the list of people who hold a very special place in this heart of mine.

and although my current maternal state will hinder my ability to party in the way we usually do, i am sure there will be no shortage of fun because, well - you just have so much fun when this guy is around.

and if i could, i'd squeeze back into that wedding dress and party in a parking lot until 5am with all of these amazing people like i did 6 months ago.

we got spoiled

this weekend i was able to spend some time with my family and my mom and dad have really gone above and beyond for baby so far. these are just the outfits we were given this one weekend and we also scored a change table pad and the girls got their 1st birthday present, a second little bed so they can stop squeezing into one together.

the weekend also included a trip to see some besties and enjoy some much overdue liam time. looks like the babes are coming along nicely. growing the next generation of best friends right there.

always the best to be around real, genuine friends who actually know what it is to love someone. i'm finding out more and and more these days that those people are very few and seriously far between.

baby check up this AM and he is within all "normal" ranges and kicking up a storm. i'm pretty sure he's sucking his thumb in there too. mom and dad would call this the biggest karmic payback of all time! ;)

happy friday!
