6 weeks to go!


my belly is HEAVY these days. the baby is approximately 4.5 lbs at this point (according to pregnancyweekly.com) so thats probably why it feels so heavy. i'm starting to choose my walks wisely: no big hills, shorter distances, time to stop and rest (because of the constant braxton hicks).

diedre and i took the bus for the first time today. it was fun. diedre really seemed to like it, she said "bus, bus, bus," alot and also, "down" whenever someone would stand up (she's very bossy, telling them to sit down hee hee). the buses all lower down so you can get on with a stroller which is great. i guess in this town, they have to have wheelchair accessibility on all buses since its so hilly. (i took the bus because our car broke down yesterday for the second time in two weeks and they said it would take a week to fix!)

we're dealing with trying to fix up our suite a little more before re-renting it since we did not get renters for the first. i'm really looking forward to showing it once it has had the latest updates since its going to be the bathroom mostly which looks pretty ugly right now (greying floor, old vanity, rusty mirror...). its hard to do renos when you dont have rental income and just had to pay out a damage deposit...ha ha thankfully we already have several boxes of tiles to get the floor done.
