Long time - no write..

I know, I know, I know... we're terrible. For those of you who continue to faithfully check this website, you have my sincere apologies. I'll give the usual reasons - we're busy, I'm tired, yada yada, yada. But, being a daily blog-checker myself, I know how great it is when there's a new entry. And, trust me, when Addison arrives, we'll be much, much, much better. I PROMISE!! Right now I still think that our lives aren't so interesting and struggle for things to write about.

Anyways, enough of that. Adam and I just got back from spending the weekend out in Nanaimo with his parents. We wanted to make sure to get out there before Addison arrives and this was pretty much our last opportunity. We went over yesterday morning and came back late this afternoon. It was good to see his parents and his brother's family. Strange to fall asleep and wke up again to total silence. Us, "city people" aren't used to silence. There's always something going on. It was kind of unsettling. Almost enough to make us think: have we been left behind? We saw where they're building their new house, we went and watched Adam's nephew play softball, we had dinner with the whole family, we took a trip to coombs market where the goats live on the roof. The weather was total crap, but it was nice to see some new scenery.

Now we're back to real life and, as of today, exactly 1 month away from Addison's due date. Crazy. For those of you who haven't been in the pregnancy loop, things are going well. I'll attach a photo for your viewing pleasure. I am really happy that we're coming down the home stretch though. Lately I've heard women talking about how much they loved being pregnant. I haven't really had that experience. I love the "idea" of being pregnant. Carrying a life around inside of me is pretty amazing. I love feeling her kicks and squirms. But I'm uncomfortable all the time. I am thankful for the crappy weather we've had because, as it is, my toes are sauages by the time I get home from work. And my belly button has popped out to epic proportions. And strangers can stop looking at me at any time now. But now I'm complaining about the most amazing thing that's happening in my body so I'll stop.

We might have a bit of a situation in that our little girl doesn't seem to want to turn. We're having an ultrasound on Tuesday to confirm if she's breech or not. If so, we will probably be delivering early by c-section. We'll know more later this week.

Oh boy, we just stumbled across a dirty dancing reality show. How can they keep coming up with these ideas?!

Ok, well this hasn't been a very interesting blog entry. See? You haven't been missing anything interesting at all. I hope you're all well and will definitely let you know what we find out on Tuesday.
