28.5 weeks

this constant sleepiness is driving me MAD! i'm so drowsy. it's almost enough to drive me back to caffeine... almost.

on friday, i finally ordered some more maternity clothing. reluctantly. with only 10.5 weeks or so left, i was sort of hoping that i could make do without! if it weren't for my job, i could probably do it, but i've got 9 weeks left of work so i gave in. it is SO frustrating that there is not a single store in calgary that offers plus-sized maternity clothing. argh. oh well, hopefully everything i ordered will fit! i have to admit, i'm desperately looking forward to getting my old (or something close to it) body back - i miss working out and swimming etc etc. my pre-pregnancy suit does not fit anymore, and no way am i shelling out $75 for a maternity suit! i have big plans for getting back into my workout routine.

one thing i'm curious about... leaky boobs while swimming? i wonder if nipple pads will stay put in a bathing suit? lol? anyone know?

cohen and lili are being such troopers about this entire process. i can imagine that to them, this must seem like it's been happening forever. considering that a week seems like a lifetime for them. they've been so patient with me, and love talking and singing to my belly. they've also been great at brainstorming names - although i feel so bad that we have to turn them down time and time again. i do not, regretfully, wish to have a daughter named "crusher".

we've been trying to think of a gift to give each of them from their new sister. i think we've decided on a camera for each of them, since they both love photography so much. they have those awesome toddler digital cameras. this way, they can be involved with the new baby as well. i'm also going to make them the requisite t-shirts ('big sister' and 'big brother'). i can't wait to see their faces when they first meet the baby. i'm looking forward to that the most. they are such gentle, loving kids.

10.5 more weeks... honestly, i'm getting pretty freaked out. things are only getting busier for us, and there is so much more to do. i desperately want to paint the baby's room... but i can't until i get cohen and lili moved in together... and before i do that, i have to at least paint half of lili's room a colour other than pink, or else cohen will freak! i have neither the time or energy for these things... lately, it's all i can do to fold laundry!

ian has his vacation coming up in april... i'm SO hoping that he'll be able to at least get some of this done for me :)

ok, time to nap. at my desk, at work.

oh yes, since a few have asked, my baby registry is through babies'r'us, just search under my name and i think it will show up...

note - i just checked and it's at toysrus.ca - go to baby registry and search under my name.
