PINK!

On December 17, 2013 we found out that our little 'Peanut' was a GIRL!!!

I apologize for the sideways picture!!
It would not let me rotate it for whatever reason!! Grr!!

And from that moment on, we knew that there was going to be a LOT of PINK in our lives!!

 Finding out what we were having was probably more exciting that finding out we were pregnant, because this made it feel REALLY real! We could now start to create an 'identity' for our little peanut, as our precious little daughter! A few weeks leading up to our appointment 'what we were having' was a popular topic of conversation among pretty much everyone we saw. And 'girl' was by far the most popular vote! For whatever reason, people just knew that peanut was a girl! 

The morning of my appointment I told my students that I was going to be away in the afternoon because I was going to the doctor to see if they could tell what the baby was going to be. And OH MY WORD were they excited!! Ha! We made a little chart to show their predictions and all of the 'girl' voters were over.the.moon. when they found out they were 'right' the next day. We all celebrated with some yummy PINK jelly beans!

Peanut was SPOILED this Christmas! Pretty impressive haul for a baby that hasn't even been born yet!! Ha! We are already excited for NEXT Christmas when she is actually here to enjoy it with us!! 

I also have caught the 'little girl' shopping bug!! I just could NOT resist these mint skinny jeans and flats when I saw them! Little peanut is going to be better dressed then her Mom and Dad!! 

We have started putting together the peanuts nursery as well! Damian did an AMAZING job of painting the room over Christmas break and we have ordered all of the furniture. I can't to have it all set up!!

Testing out recliner/rockers was Damian's favourite part about nursery shopping!! 

Now that I can't take Spin classes anymore I have been trying to get on the treadmill once in a while! My fleeting energy by the end of the day doesn't help much though! Ha! 

Peanut and I working hard on the treadmill...

Spending some time sorting through clothes and trying to figure out the best way to organize it all!

And lastly...Peanut has been busy growing these days!! 

Thus so have I...Here are my 'bumpdate' pictures!

I know I say it all of the time, but I truly can't believe how fast time goes!! I am already 27 weeks and starting my THIRD trimester!! SO CRAZY!! I can't wait to meet our little peanut in just under 13 weeks!!!

Introducing...Peanut!

So let's go waaaaay back to September for a moment...

Friday September 6, 2013 to be exact! 

It was the first week of school and I was DEAD tired! I was at a new school, had a GIANT class, and was REALLY looking forward to the first weekend of the school year!!

 Damian had left for work already and then I decided to take a little test... 

and this is what I saw!!!

I was SHOCKED!!! AND OMG EXCITED!!! 

And then I realized...crap...now I have to go to School!!! 

Needless to say I wasn't 'all there' that day at school ha ha! All day I just kept thinking about how I was going to tell Damian! It was something I had been thinking about for a few months but had never really put tooo much thought into it for fear that I would jinx myself!! 

So on the way home from school that day I stopped at the baby store and picked up a cute little onsie to give Damian to share our VERY exciting news!! I put it in a cute little gift bag, walked in the door and told him I had a gift for him. He was pppretty confused as to why he was receiving a gift, and later told me he thought it was going to be socks! Ha! (Damian has a thing for fancy socks!) I assured him that this gift was WAY more EXCITING than socks!! 

And needless to say Damian was THRILLED with his gift, but even MORE THRILLED with our exciting news!!! 

So now here we are! 

Almost 3 and a half months later! The last few months have definitely been a total blur!! And holy man am I glad to be out of the first trimester!! Let's just say that a little white pill called Diclectin for morning/all day sickness was my BEST FRIEND for 2 months!! We are BEYOND excited to be expanding our little family to 3!! Its still a very surreal feeling to know that in 5 months we will be welcoming a new little life into our lives, and that our lives will forever be changed!! AND WE CAN'T WAIT!!!

So without further ado...

Introducing 'Peanut'...

Arriving Mid May 2014!

(May 17, 2014 is my due date)
I'm currently 15 weeks! :)

We have been calling the baby 'peanut' pretty much since the day we found out we were expecting! I don't really even know why/ or where we got that nickname, but it has stuck! And now everyone calls 'it' Peanut! Ha! I'm sure once we find out the sex of the baby we will come up with a new nickname...but maybe not!!  

Our next big day comes in mid December when we have our ultrasound to find out the sex of the baby! And yes...We will be finding out!!! Sorry to disappoint all those that think we should wait!! Like my Mom! Ha! If there is one thing I am good at in life it would be planning...and I NEED to plan for this baby! And in order to do that I NEED to have some warning about what is coming my way!! Its just the way I'm built people!! 

So as you would expect, there is going to be a lot more BABY stuff happening on this lil ole blog of mine now! Sorry if I bore you with it!! I also want to share the stories about how we told our families our exciting news...because if you know our families at all, you know how CRAZY they went!! Ha Ha!! 

Stories will be coming soon!
