Rock-A-Bye-Baby

24 Weeks

"Your baby is still on the skinny side with no body fat but his brain is growing rapidly and he's starting to fill the space in your uterus. By now, you probably have a definite "pregnant" shape and the linea nigra, a dark line of pigmentation, may appear down the centre of your abdomen. Your baby's taste buds are also forming and, believe it or not, his sweet tooth. Could that explain your sudden craving for doughnuts? No one knows for sure but it's a good excuse, next time you find yourself visiting the bakery." babycenter.co.uk

We were in Superstore on Sunday, Avery saw a little baby and with a big smile she said

"I'm gonna have a baby too, its in Mommy's belly!" "I'm so lucky!"

I looked at the other mom with tears in my eyes(pregnancy hormones)

This little girl makes me so proud!

On the other end of the 2 year old spectrum, we were having supper and Avery was banging her fork on her plate. Jason and I both explained to her we didn't enjoy that noise at the supper table. So she's 2 and she kept doing it, while grinning, she looks up at us and says "What's wrong everybody!" Seriously, with a matter of fact tone. We looked at eachother burst out laughing and unanimously decided, we are in trouble!

It's all about the cravings

So this lovely little family blog is now turned into a food blog, cause I guess that's
what pregnancy is all about, isn't it?!
Try it, seriously it's the best way to wake up!

This is what happens when you leave your daughter in the care of a good friend ;)

The New Homestead

568 Salish Street, Comox

Our new house! I still can't believe we live on

a beautiful sparkling creek. Jason went by the house

the other morning, him and Avery sat outside and

admired the creek and there was this beautiful

Blue Heron in our front yard creek feeding on the

fish. We came to realize this house was ment to be ours.

In the Indian culture the Blue Heron signifies Good Luck :) And in Asian cultures Bamboo signifies Good Luck, we I'm happy to say we have 3 bamboo bushes in the back yard and one of them being underneath our bedroom window. The only downfall is we have to wait until April 30 to move in! But it's official. And more good news, we have an accepted offer on our house, and we did it all by ourselves!

Lets just hope they can make everything final by the right dates and we are good to go! To top it all off the buyers of our home are the greatest people, we have made some great friends and Avery made a new friend too, they have a daughter Ruth and the girls adore eachother!

I must say life is pretty great!
