Baby #3 Moving Around

It's a girl!

I have been wanting to start going through baby clothes, but not 100% knowing what the baby was going to be it was frustrating to know I'd have to go through both sets of clothes and not be able to get it ready. I finally caved and did the 3D ultrasound.

I knew instantly before the technician said anything that it was DEFINITELY a girl.

We have the baby names narrowed to two names, maybe by the time the baby is born we'll have picked one.

3D pictures are a little strange looking, but its fun to look at the close features at the same time. This baby has a decent amount of hair so far, as did both my others. She kept yawning and opening and closing her eyes during the ultrasound. They said the baby is about 2.8 lbs right now which is right on track for being 29 weeks.

hard to see in this picture, but there's the back of her legs and in the middle by the G is the girl parts.

Halloween 2011

Zoë: (at the top of her lungs) "this is the BEST day EVER!!!!!!!!!!!"
(continuously all afternoon/evening)

Zoë all ready for school in her super woman costume. She was throwing a temper tantrum just before this picture, but soon forgot all about it. She had a blast getting lots of candy at Kindergarten and making crafts with her grade 4 buddy. Dreyton in his Captain American costume. Daddy had convinced him to get it,so he was watching Captain America clips on my phone for the past week learning all about the super hero. He also had a party for preschool, he got LOTS of candy there and did some Halloween crafts. Getting ready to go trick-or-treating. I had a hard time thinking of something for Zoë to wear outside, as her superwoman costume wouldn't fit over a warm sweater. Luckily for $3 on Halloween Day, I was able to find the angel costume that was loose enough to fit over a sweater so she could stay warm.

Dreyton was dressed up as Shrek.

They had so much fun going door-to-door, and got two big bags of candy to show for it. Dreyton got tired after awhile so he handed out playdough/decks of cards to kids while Zoë and Daddy went for a bit longer.

Baby #3

I am now 23 weeks into my 3rd pregnancy.

I had a 3rd ultrasound a few weeks ago and for some reason my babies are quite camera shy and they can't get all the pictures they need too. After having the technician, manager, and doctor come do the ultrasound on two pieces of equipment and two hours later, they gave up getting all the pictures they needed.

I asked multiple times if they knew it was a boy/girl and all of them said no as the baby had legs tight together the whole time. The 3 of them said if they had to guess they'd guess 70% girl, which is what I had figured I was having too. Needless to say this baby might surprise us in the end and be a boy so i'm unable to prepare as i'd like until the baby's born.

The reason I think i'm having a girl is the way I carried Zoë. I think I carry girls differently where they must sit on a nerve or in a spot that makes my body extremely sore and ache easily. I had a really hard time walking with Zoë and at times had to be pushed in a wheelchair if we were doing something really active. Luckily it hasn't gotten to that extreme yet with this one but with Dreyton I was walking for hours at Christmas light displays, days before I had him with no problem.

Lee asked the technician if the baby was measuring big as our other two they were both shocked with how big our babies were for there gestational age. But she said not at all, so here's hoping to a normal sized baby! I haven't gained any weight yet either which might be a good sign...

Here's some pictures from my ultrasound, good luck figuring out what is what.
I am assuming this is the side of the baby's face with the foot up to its hand...

an arm? or wait says foot on bottom of picture so must be the leg.

Random Pics from Camera

Thanksgiving weekend we had a fun day going bowling. Dreyton beat us all with the first game, I was impressed.

I had got a coupon for a painting studio, and of course waited till last minute before it expired to use it. Dreyton and I went together and painted some pieces. He loved it.

One Saturday we drove by the firestation and noticed they were having an open house, so we decided to drop in and check the boats, fire trucks and ambulances out. I had already had a good view of the ambulance that was there and the drivers from when I had a gallstone attack.

Taking a Fall walk in Fish Creek Park.

Frankensteins & Jack-O-Lanterns

I found a cute craft found HERE on a magazine and thought it would be fun to do as a family. The kids LOVE holidays and being able to celebrate any of them. The ones I saw were with large jars but I thought mason jars would be the perfect size and I had a bunch of them anyways. Lee was there with us making them, he just took the pictures.

Family Pictures

we got family pictures done a few months back, just got the CD of the edited pictures. These are some of my favourites

Beginning of School

1st day of Kindergarten and Preschool!

Dreyton has been waiting for preschool since Zoë started a year ago. He is such a social boy and excited to meet new friends. By the end of his first class he was already saying bye to about 4 different kids by names.

Zoë has been looking forward to kindergarten since her preschool graduation. She is excited to now have a school that has playgrounds, a library and gym. I put her in Mckenzie Lake School which isn't her designated school but way closer. Her designated school is Acadia school which is about 15 minutes away and had up to grade 9 kids on the same school bus. I feel alot more comfortable with her being close by and in a newer school. She is having so much fun so far, her favourite part is gym class where they get to play lots of fun games.

Shakers

Zoë went to a birthday party yesterday for 4 hours, so we decided to take Dreyton out with just Mommy and Daddy. We went to this place called shakers which he loved. He played on lots of arcade games, went on a race track with Lee, and we played a game of mini golf.

2 weeks at the cabin

We got to stay for two weeks at the cabin this year which was so nice. There was only one day of slightly cloudy the whole two weeks we were there.







The kids had fun jumping in the lake continuously, sadly I didn't get a picture of Dreyton doing his face flop running into the water. He'd run from the end of the dock and jump in belly flop style and his face would hit the water at the same time, didn't look comfortable, but was hilarious to watch

Jenn, Dreyton, and I on the tube.



The kids had alot of fun on this inflatable waterpark. We had hot tub water pumped in so it wasn't so cold from the hose.









between Toozik and Anya, my kids spent most of there time playing with both of them.
