13 Weeks of baby # 2

Christmas Eve 2009

Time again...:)

As all of you guessed it and most already know, we are preggo again. I'm 3months in already and feeling great. Our due date is July 1st "Canada Day". Ella already know's where Mommy's baby is, she will point to the belly and kiss it. I think Ella will be a great big sister, she's so much of a mommy already! It's so funny, every baby that come into our house Ella right away wants the baby to poop and give it a change. She just loves her little friends (Hudson, Adriana, Hannah and Austin). It's baby fever out there, with so many of my friends with new born's and more to come. I'll be on maternity leave with April (4 months together ) Lindsay (8 months together) Erica and Bryanna will still have time off in the summer. It's going to be so much fun! Will post a baby bump picture soon and will keep you posted.

Hudson Nicholas Besth

On Dec 11th early in the morning my little 8lbs 6 oz new nephew arrived for the best Christmas gift ever. He's beautiful and he's here to stay. He's the first boy on my side of the family of the grandkids. The grandparents are so happy and the new family of 4 are doing great. So thank you Hudson Nicholas Besth for a early Christmas gift to the whole family.

One at a time Ella, good job!

So the last two days for Ella have been big maybe huge milestones for her. All weekend she kept asking me to go poo hies on the potty. So we tried and tried some more, but nothing. Monday came along and she asked again."Poo hies Mommy Poo hie". OK, sure! She looked right into my eyes and she Poo hied in the big potty. I couldn't believe it, I was so happy! She got a sticker and I couldn't stop talking about it at work to my other mom clients. And then it happened again, she poo hied the next night to. Ella got another sticker and her Mom and Dad are very proud. Hopefully it's all a good sign for things to come. It was a moment I will never forget, no joke! haa.

It doesn't happen often but Ella and I where home alone for the whole weekend. David my Dad and Brothers and friends went to Calgary to see the Grey Cup Game. It's always a fun and challenging this to do when there's only one parent around. But Ella and I had a great time together playing and going for walks. We read a ton of books and changed her baby's bum over 100 times, I'm sure of it. She seems to be poophie all the time :) We napped together and made cookies to. I did have to work on the Friday and Saturday and Grandma came over for the whole day Saturday to be with Ella. They had a blast, going to mom's work and seeing the bunny and kitty. And I'm sure Ella made her change baby's bum too. Peeyu! (not sure how to spell that one). We had a good time but ready to pick up Daddy tomorrow and tell him all that we did. I'm sure he has some story's of his own, what would they be?? hmm.
