31 Weeks Along - Only 9 to Go!


Hello Everyone!

This post is a little late but I am still 31 weeks along with only 9 weeks left in my countdown! It's crazy! I know I said that last time too, but seriously. Another countdown I have going on is to my last day of work :) Only 7 and 1/2 more weeks! I know these next weeks will go fast but they surely feel like they are dragging a bit at this present moment. It could be because I have a tendency to round weeks and months down when I am doing a countdown and then feel stuck in the same place for a while haha, I am really trying not to do that anymore at this point. The countdown I lay out above is legit, and not rounded down :)

These days it is fun to see little body parts moving along my stomach and I am even enjoying the little nudges under my ribs (I know this will probably get old soon, but for now I am enjoying knowing our little baby girl is actually in there stretching and almost ready to come out and meet us all!). Not so pleasant parts of life are having little swollen hobbit feet (without the hair) by the end of a day at work, and without exaggeration, having to pee 2-4 times between the time I get into bed and the time I actually fall asleep. Sheesh.

Anyhoo! Here is how we are looking these days:


The other big thing going on in our lives mainly involved Ian :) He has been finishing our backyard so that we might be able to enjoy the last little bit of summer outside but still at home. He put a little planter box in so that we can attempt to grow veggies NEXT summer:


He also made a beautiful patio for us to lounge on (it's handy having a certified journeyman Concrete Finisher in the house!):


And we planted a little apple tree! Which we hope will actually yield good fruit that can be eaten and baked with :) :


That is kinda what has been going on this week. I hope you all have a great day! 

With love.

It's the final countdown..


Hello All! 

I cannot believe that I am at 30 weeks in my pregnancy! It is crazy! People kept telling me time would fly by and I truthfully did not believe them but here I am and time has flown by so wha'd'ya know! I only have 10 weeks left (yes, I realize these 10 weeks could turn into 12 BUT I am still calling it 10 and excited for it!) and am calling it my final countdown! And yes, I do have the song in my head ;) 

I hope to post a picture for every week until she comes showing her growth, so here you go. Us at 30 weeks: 


There you have it! 

With love.

Yummy EASY Ice Cream!!

Hello!

I just thought I would share a recipe that turned out to be the easiest Ice Cream recipe ever! No waiting around for flavours to meld and yada yada..

Combine in blender:

1 can coconut milk
1 cup each strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries
1/4 cup honey

Blend until smooth and pour into ice cream maker! Voila! You have delightful ice cream!

I was inspired by a recipe on pinterest but changed quite a few things just to try it out. Originally it was just a Strawberry coconut ice cream recipe.

Yum Yum Yum!

With love.
