26 Weeks

So another two weeks has past, and it's time for yet another picture. Although nothing exciting has happened today for me, other than being another day closer to the due date...(did I say that already??...It's HOT people!) I did want to wish Emily a "Happy FIRST Birthday!!" Hope everyone is doing well!

"The girls are back in town"

These are still from the Sam Steele Weekend...I stole some of Karen's photos! I really didn't realize how much I have missed all of you, until seeing you all at Nanz's place. Love ya girlies!

Quick visit with Brandy & James!! (June.25/06)

It was great, even though short...to have a little lunch with Brandy & James in Castlegar, on their way back home from Cranbrook!! So glad we could meet up guys! Brandy...You look terrific!

Riondel ~ June 24th/06

Well, as "The Bump" continues to grow, and simple movements become harder to do, we thought we'd head out camping last night before it became to uncomfortable. The funny thing is, I thought my difficulty would be in getting in and out of the tent...It wasn't as bad as I thought...I found that the hardness of the air matress was the biggest deal. My hips are still recovering! Anyhow, here are a couple pics that Ian took...

June.18th/06 (Father's Day)

Well Happy Father's day to all of you father's out there! We (Ian, Kita & I) were in Cranbrook for the weekend, and it was really nice to see the people we got to see. It never seems like we have enough time...So Rhiannon, Shannon, Greg & Donna, I am so sorry we didn't get to see you!! I will be back next month though. We were there less than 48 hours, and it was also Nan's (my grandmother) b-day...So it was way too busy this weekend. Anyway...here are a couple of cute pictures that I took in the midst of the chaos.

24 Weeks

Well, I went for another prenatal visit yesterday, and I found out that the ultrasound results were good, and that all my tests have come back! They all look good. The down side of my appointment, I found out that the doctor I was hoping for, to deliver (mine does not) is no longer taking any new paitents because his work load has increased considerably in the last little while. Anyway, here is a picture of me...two weeks since the last one....Oh yeah, did I mention....I've gained ten pounds in the last four weeks?? Ha ha! Oh well...I guess I shouldn't complain...that puts me at a total of 3 pounds above the weight I started at pre-pregnancy, and I'm...6 months along! Not bad....
Take care,
Coral

People on drugs make STUPID decisions!

That title probably got your attention huh?!! Well as it is, yesterday, Ian, Kita, and myself were down at Sadie's. Kita and Oso (Sadie's dog) were playing in the back yard. We were all sitting up on the deck just talking and watching them play, when all of the sudden this guy sorta appears from the alley. (Her back yard opens onto the alley)
Because Sadie's neighbor was outside, I sorta thought maybe he knew who this guy was...because they guy kept coming closer into the yard (closer to where we were sitting) rough-housing with Kita. Kita had started out barking at the guy, and because we all assumed that this guy must know one of us, we called Kita back. Well then the guy got closer to the ground, and started throwing his hands in her face!! Kita started growling and showing her teeth, and I was getting worried. I kept saying (in as loud of voice as I could...ha ha) "Ian she is going to bite him!!"
Ian stood up on the deck and said "That's enough guy." And this guy looks up at Ian and says "Oh, sorry man." We thought it was all over then, but then he reached down with his water bottle and tried to hit Kita in the face with it!!! So of course Kita was freaking out, and it took Ian pushing the guy away from Kita and saying "Get out of here!!" before he left! It was crazy and scary...Kita was just doing her job protecting us, and here this guy kept antagonizing her!
Lesson to be learned: People on drugs make STUPID decisions!

June.8th~2nd Ultrasound

This appointment went much better than the last. The hospital has a new machine, which took clearer pictures (Not that you'll really be able to tell.) During this ultrasound, the tech showed me the baby's heart, and all four chambers were opening and closing! It was pretty cool. I am still not sure if Ian was more excited to see the new $250,000.00 ultrasound machine, or his baby!! (Just kidding.)All in all, a much better day than last. Oh yeah...With this new machine, instead of getting the usual two pictures, we got a CD with seven on them!! Have a look...
P.S.
I forgot to mention, the baby's heartbeat was beating @ 160 beats per minute, and is weighing in at 1lb 3ozs.

Baby movement...

Yesterday was the first time Ian felt the baby move!! It is still something I am getting used to, it's such an amazing and weird feeling all at once! I tell you, it feels as though aliens have taken over my body when I look down and see my stomach jump! Other than that, I don't have much new to say...Hope you are all well! Here's a couple pics of the other day...
