What's it going to be like once we have 2..... I have a tough time right now finding a babysitter for Maria the odd Wednesday night, even with all the family around.  Maybe if I needed someone every week, then it would be easier.... A set schedule. 

I haven't been able to go to yoga the past two weeks, first we were on vacation, then last week didnt get enough notice from Darren to find anyone. Looks like tonight will be a no show too, as he told me this afternoon.... 

I'm starting to feel more tired and stressed. Not over anything picticular, just in general.  I'm ready to be done work and focus on home stuff. But the due date isn't for another month.... We will just have wait. 

The onus of the week is I found the screws for the crib! So that's up and ready. As well Jen is lending us her infant car seat and nursing pillow, so I don't have to buy one. If its a boy we get some hand me downs and if its a girl I have enough clothes for 2years.

We had an unexpected couple of days without Maria. She stayed with grandma&pa. It was a needed break, that neither one of us thought we needed. We are struggling with the energy, back talking, and independence of a 3 year old. I've been talking with friend who is going through a similar experience with her little girl. She recommended a book, and doesn't do that very often. I'm going to order t and see if it helps. 

Exciting news! My brother and sis-in-law had another baby boy, named Wyatt. He was 9lbs! I sure hope the babe I'm carrying will be that big!!! Wyatt is adorable, we are going to go over and visit later this week after things settle down. They just got home this afternoon from the hospital. 

Things at work have settled down. It feels good to be fully staffed. 

It is way too hot this week. 35+ is uncomfortable for anyone, especially us pregnant ladies. FYI I like the rain ;)

Bitterness is overwhelming me. I'm trying to be positive and sympathetic. I'm hoping things get back to normal soon. 

We had a fantastic weekend. Darren and I spent most of Saturday just the two of us. Marlyssa hung out with Maria for the afternoon and my parents took her for the evening. It was the first time in a month we were able tore ally talk and relax. Darren has been working long hours and most weekends. The paycheque is good but it can be a slight strain on us. 

We had a yummy lunch at Diner Deluxe, then he was able to use most of his gift card at MEC. In the evening we scooted over to Eric & Nat's for a going away bash.  We met some pretty cool people on top of having a great time with existing friends.

Tonight is a first with Maria. She fell off the slide at Leah today. She was complaining about her arm and head. The side of her head was pretty banged up. We took her to emergency to make sure she is okay. Darren and Maria are in the X-ray room as we speak. I think everything will be okay but I will sleep better knowing. 

She has strength of a bear! 

So she has a fractured clavicle bone on her left side. Poor thing.  Doctor wasn't too worried about the healing process.
