Progress!

So I haven't posted too much pregnancy progress so I thought I'd do that today to keep a few of you happy!

The dates aren't exactly right because I didn't keep great track of when these pictures were... but they're roughly right! Enjoy!

22 weeks:


24 weeks:


32 weeks:


Another about 32 weeks:


37 weeks with our mini christmas tree:

Holidays!

Katrina...Contain your excitement, calm down... OKAY! I CAN'T CONTAIN IT!!

As of tomorrow afternoon, 3pm, I am on holidays! YAY! Being a school teacher, whilst disturbing, does have perks :)

So, what to do with my time? I wish I could say I was going to do what I am meant to do and put my feet up and relax... but it is unlikely. I need to set up the baby room, find a nice picture to put on their wall in our bedroom, and I'd like to sand and re-finish the piano,. The only BIG task there is the piano and I suppose I can enlist some help. I'll try to find some time there to laze in the pool and walk the dog also.

It is very exciting to me to consider that I may not return to full time work for a large number of years. I'm a realist and know that financially I'll probably work a couple of days a week once maternity leave is over, but no more full time? Woo hoo! I understand that being a mum is challenging, hard work. But I am super excited for what is to come.

Christmas is 2 weeks from Saturday, the baby is due in less than 5 weeks. I can see that time is going to FLY by!

I like to move it, move it

Yes, we're moving!! I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am.

I'm less excited about the actual moving process, but having a new house will be SOOOO AWESOME!

Even more exciting is that we have bought the place. Our first home! It settles on Friday. We transferred the balance of the deposit to the lawyers today (yikes...) and we're ready to move on Saturday. I'm grateful in advance for the wonderful friends and family who are coming to help to ensure this 35 week pregnant woman doesn't try to do too much!

So here is what we are moving into:


Yep, it's a townhouse. But it's pretty :)

And here is the part I am MOST excited about:


Yep, a kitchen that not only has an oven, but also a stove, bench space and a double sink. Oh and tiles on the floor instead of carpet. So much excitement!

Can't wait :)

And in other news... Natalie, my sister, got endowed a couple of weeks ago. We took a few pictures outside the temple and here is my favourite. It's great because it shows us candidly laughing, and petting my delicious baby bump. There are times when I find my family adorable. And Josh. He looks hot in this picture.
