We have our own place, a two bedroom basement suite in Mississauga, ON in a quiet neighbourhood close to everything. We are starting to accumulate some stuff although most of our stuff is still in BC.
This must be a relaxing place to live in some strange way since not long after we moved out here I finally conceived!!! The due date is February 22, 2011. I am finding out all the fun stuff that not many people tell you about pregnancy! Like how your breasts grow so fast you think they are going to explode if someone touches them (up a bra size in under four months), just how exhausted you really are for the first three and a half months (I would sleep over twelve hours a day and still not have any energy), how badly your back can ache when you get a new burst of hormones to loosen up those joints (not being able to walk when you get home and trying to explain to a man that its "normal" and you will be okay tomorrow, morning) how if the baby doesn't like something that you are eating or drinking you will either run to the bathroom or have brutal gas cramps for the rest of the day (sauerkraut and sausages do not taste good anymore) and all the lovely emotions and especially how no male on this planet is ever going to fully understand them lol.
There are lots of joys as well though, such as the first flutters and knowing that soon you will have a child of your own!!! Now just to make it through the next 5 months!!!!
Love the post Shoshannah! Tell David I have on numerous occasions told papa that I am going to make sure he cannot come through the Pearly Gates until he has been through at least one pregnancy. this after a drive down a rough road that constantly gave me false labour pains. And then there is the feeling of being a dressed elephant or a beached whale. But eight beautiful babies later it was all worth it. Enjoy it together all of it you two. the good the bad and prayerfully not the ugly. The stuff memories are made of. This thing called love! Happy pregnancy to both of you. Love mama
