BC trip

Last weekend Brad and I went out to Comox BC to photograph a wedding for Brad's cousin. We were there for a few extra days so Brad decided he would go on a guys fishing trip. I kinda wanted to go but wasn't too sure about the bumps and roughness of the ocean so I stayed back. Brad has really wanted to do this for quite some time now so it was a perfect oppurtunity.

I kept bugging him that he probably wouldn't catch anything but he proved me wrong by bringing this home.

That's a 15 pound salmon!! I'm pretty surprised, cuz everytime we try fishing I get too frustrated and end up with nothing. I guess it was a perfect season out there for fishing though! He still wanted to catch a halibut, But I gotta say this is pretty good size!

The ocean was beautiful and I loved just sitting outside and watching the waves crash. It wasn't the warmest weather so there was no sun bathing! But I just enjoy the sound of the ocean and the smell. It's always good to get away once in awhile!

Every night Brad would have to drink his herbal tea on the porch and watch the ocean!! HEHE what a little nerd.

Pregnancy So Far!

24 1/2 weeks
26 1/2 weeks
So my pregnancy is moving along and I continue to grow everyday. I swear I don't know how much more stretching I can take. He is sure tight in there and I am usually alway pretty uncomfortable. I must admit though I am glad the morning sickness is gone and I can continue on with my life. I actually really have enjoyed being pregnant. I know alot of women hate there bellies growing so much but I kinda like it. To know that I am carrying a little guy inside me, is an absolute miracle. I love watching and feeling his kicks and I love watching Brad bond with our little guy as well. I can honestly sit there for hours and just hold my hand on my belly and feel his little flutters. I know that we are truly blessed to have this little guy and I thank the lord every single day! Other than being tired and having major back aches, mostly after too much photo shoots, I am feeling really great. I do have a little discomfort when I try to sleep but I guess that what comes along with pregnancy. I have had so much fun shopping for our little guy, maybe a little too much, baby clothes are just too cute to pass up sometimes. I am also starting to think of ideas for the nursery, I just need to get Brad motivated to repaint the room. I am thinking the color of the walls will be a light blue and I have bought a white bed set and black furniture so I will do a lot of accenting with blue. I am so excited to start setting it up, it all comes down to finding the time to do so. I can't believe I have 3 more months to go, these last few months have flown by. I hope the next few do as well. I just want to meet our little guy, I love him already!

Surprise!!

So my awesome friends threw me a surprise baby shower a few weeks ago and it was a total blast. So they had invited me over for a brunch with some girls and they tried to schedule a few different dates but none of them seemed to work. Finally I found a weekend that I actually had available so they switched the dates for me. I had no idea it was an actual party for me, I felt bad I kept making them change the date. Anyways it all worked out and I arrived "LATE" of course, like I always am. I walked through the door and there were all my friends yelling out SURPRISE!! So unexpected. They had the place to cutely decorated with pictures and a big sign that said " BABY BOY" , a cute little cake and great good! CREPES, one of my favs!

So we ate and visited and then played a pretty embarrassing game where you would write down a few memories of me. Well let's just say there were lots of laughs and a few funny looks my way!! HAHA it was pretty funny. Then we opened presents and I go a bunch of awesome things from books, toys, clothes,booties, peepee teepees and even a massage( I will definetly be using that soon!) Thanks to all my great friends that pulled this together and for all of you that came. You're the best and it was so good to see all of you! And Thank you Arianne for the great pictures!
