happy new year!

Happy New Year to all!

We had a (somewhat) quiet new years eve. The 3 of us watched the sens game and the canada game. Julien was passed out at 830 on the couch, and I barely managed to make it to the ball drop. It was nice.

NYE just doesn't seem important like it did years ago.

morning sickness strikes again

I was hoping that I might be able to sneak through this pregnancy without morning sickness, unfortunately, I was wrong.

It has crept up on me again. In some ways it is not as bad as with Julien, but since I have a toddler to look after, it's almost worse. I don't have the option of staying in my pj's and watching tv all day.

I actually have to cook and clean, and make sure Julien is happy......I am lucky that I don't have the horrible fatigue like I did with Julien. I am actually able to stay awake past 9 pm. I would love a nap in the afternoons, but that doesn't happen with Jules around.

I have my first prenatal appt this week - I am looking forward to it. My doctor had told me I would be followed more closely in any other pregnancies because of the complications during Julien's pregnancy - so I  will find out what that entails on Wednesday!

Christmas with the picco's!

Well, this was another wonderful Christmas! We shared our news with my mom on Christmas Eve, and then with J's parents on Christmas night.
We have decided to hold off on telling friends/extended family for a little while - most likely at the end of January.

Julien was a blast at Christmas. He loved everything that "ho ho" brought him, and made our Christmas that much more special.

OMG!!!!

Yep, that's right! I am pregnant!

We decided a little while ago that we were ready to have another baby in our family - and it didn't take us very long to make that happen!

I am due on August 29, 2010!

I was quite shocked when I took the test, I really didn't think it would happen so quickly! We are both extremely happy and excited. We can't wait to meet our newest addition!

We plan on keeping it quite for another few weeks - we will probably be ready to tell everyon at the end of next month. So, this won't be posted until then!

Olympic torch

On Sunday morning, the torch came through Kanata.  Julien happened to be awake, so he and I, along with mom, went to Hazeldean road to await the run.  It was such a wonderful experience (cold, but still fun)

Here are a few pictures

My great aunt and uncle came for a visit (they live in BC). It's been a few years since we have seen them, and we really enjoyed it. Julien took  a shine to Aunt Billie right away

100th post!

This is my 100th post!

Today is about Upper Canada Village. My mom and I headed there on Friday night with Julien and my niece. From November 28th to January 3rd, they have what they call "alight at night". They decorate the village in thousands of Christmas lights. It is absolutely beautiful.

We took a wagon ride around the town, and also a train ride along the grounds. We walked around the village and sang Christmas carols in the church. We all had fun, but seeing the wonderment in Julien's eyes, and how much fun he had with Alana - that is what made the trip for me.

I highly recommend that anyone near Morrisburg head over there to check it out.

christmas time fun

Last week Julien and I made tree ornaments. Today, we painted them. He had such a good time (got really messy, but that's part of the fun!)
