A photo recap of our trip to Halifax!
My husband and I were able to go to Halifax to spend Thanksgiving with my family this year, and it was so much fun! My parents had just bought a 27 foot boat, so we went on two trips around the harbour on that.
We also had an awesome Thanksgiving dinner filled with good food, and great company! I was so excited to have some of my mom's (best in the whole world if you ask me!) pumpkin pie. With fresh whipped cream. Yummmm.
All in all it was a great long weekend! Can't wait to go back at Christmas. I think the Christmas trip will be my last trip home before the baby comes, I'm planning on really savouring it. Too bad it won't exactly be boat weather... damn you winter!!!

14 weeks (and a photo from 13 weeks)!
Hey everyone! I have been meaning to start some other posts for a couple of weeks now, but I am still feeling pretty sick and I have very little energy to sit at my computer. I hope you're all going to bear with me and stick around, because I absolutely promise this blog is going to get more interesting!!!
I'm not sure what happened, but apparently I didn't write a post for 13 weeks! I'm actually pretty sure I did, but I can't find it anywhere. Oh well, we'll just skip right on over to 14 weeks. I'll just put the picture for 13 weeks at the bottom of this one, before the 14 week photo, how's that? :)

How far along?: 14 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: +4 pounds, the Thanksgiving turkey really kick started my weight gain :P
The Bump: It's definitely there, especially in the evening after a full day's worth of food in there!! Strangers probably still think I have just eaten way too many cheeseburgers.
What I’m excited about/looking forward to: I've made it to the 2nd trimester!! We're looking forward to seeing our midwife again in 3 weeks to hear the heartbeat again.
Symptoms: Sadly I am still nauseous pretty much all. the. time. Everyone tells me it should be ending really soon and I really hope they're right. This is getting ridiculous!
Belly Button in or out?: Definitely in.
Food Cravings/Aversions: Same. No veggies, lots of junk food. Trying to reign it in!!
Milestones: Solidly in the 2nd trimester, and 100% out of the pregnancy closet. Made the blog announcement yesterday!

12 weeks!
This post was written on September 25th, 2011
------------------------------------------------
How far along?: 12 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: +2 pounds, I guess I am playing catchup! Either that or I had a lot of salty food this past weekend!
The Bump: Same as last week, no one but those closest to me can really tell, but there's definitely the beginnings of something there!!
What I’m excited about/looking forward to: Same as last week, mostly I am just looking forward to the 2nd trimester so I can hopefully stop feeling so terrible.
Symptoms: Again, same as last week, all day sickness, fatigue, mild headaches, and this annoying stretchy feeling. It feels like I've done an intense ab workout every day. My midwife says it's normal!
Belly Button in or out?: Definitely in.
Food Cravings/Aversions: Still trying to hide veggies in things, I am eating my mom's soup for lunch, and we made turkey chili with loads of veggies in the slowcooker this week. I am hoping I can stomach it! It's so hard trying to stay healthy. I have been craving a lot of salty food, like chips, and gummy candy.
What I miss: Feeling like a normal human being.
Milestones: We started telling some extended family this past weekend, it was fun! Everyone is so excited. We're working on telling everyone else (friends, coworkers, etc) and hopefully very soon I'll be able to "come out" on my blog :)

11 weeks!
I just wanted to say thank you for all of the love and support yesterday!! I just love the blog community :)
Since the big news is out, I thought I would start recapping each week of my pregnancy like I see on some other blogs. I am hoping to keep pregnancy related stuff to 1 or 2 posts a week, since I know I have a lot of readers who are probably not so interested :).
Anyway, it won't take long to get caught up because I didn't start recording my pregnancy in any way until week 11!!
This post was written on September 19th, 2012
------------------------------------------------
How far along?: 11 weeks, 1 day
Total weight gain/loss: -3 pounds, must be from the all day sickness because I am not in any way shape or form eating healthy.
The Bump: No one but those closest to me can really tell, but there's definitely the beginnings of something there!!
What I’m excited about/looking forward to: Mostly I am just looking forward to the 2nd trimester so I can hopefully stop feeling so terrible.
Symptoms: All day sickness, fatigue, mild headaches, and this annoying stretchy feeling. It feels like I've done an intense ab workout every day. My midwife says it's normal!
Belly Button in or out?: Definitely in.
Food Cravings/Aversions: Can't stand even the thought of an uncooked vegetable. I'm trying to increase my veggie intake by hiding them in my food. My mom made an amazing chicken soup full of veggies, and that seems good. She also made me lasagne with spinach and tomatoes. I don't really have any cravings though, not yet!
What I miss: Feeling like a normal human being.
Milestones: We heard the heartbeat at our appointment today!! We had seen it via ultrasound at 8 weeks, but we finally got to hear the sound and it was so sweet :). My husband says he could listen to it all day long!

Happy Thanksgiving! (and some news)
Happy Thanksgiving to all of my Canadian readers! My husband and I have been in my hometown and it's been an awesome long weekend. Halifax is a wonderful place to visit, and the weather has just been amazing.
I know it's been a long time since I have been active on this here blog, but guys, I swear I have a good excuse. You see, this happened:
We're pregnant!!! Come April 2013 we're going to be first time parents :). We're over the moon with excitement, but my all day horrible sickness has prevented me from doing much blogging or even blog reading. I hope you can understand, and I am hoping to be back in full swing now!

Oh my god, it's a new post! Fall Shows I am psyched for!
I am once again coming out of hiding! Hopefully I can get back into the swing of things starting now. I have missed all of you guys :) I just haven't done much worthy of blog posting. That needs to change, stat! This photo basically sums up life since I last posted:
I meant to post about this sooner, but ya know, I didn't. Anyway, a lot of Fall shows haven't started yet, so I think I am still in time! I love when the new TV season starts. My summer was full of Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad, but now I am ready for all of my regular TV fixes. I like to say that we don't watch a ton of TV, but then when I list things out, it kind of feels like we do. Oh well. We could have worse hobbies, right?
Here is the rundown of shows I am most excited about.
1. Parenthood - I didn't start watching this show until the 3rd season, and I can't believe it took me so long. I absolutely adore Lauren Graham, and she's so great on this show. I cry during almost every episode, either tears of sadness, or happy ones. It's dramatic and funny all at the same time and I can't get enough!
2. The Voice - This is the ONE reality show I watch, and my husband will watch it too. It just seems different from the other singing shows. Mostly, I like that they don't bring terrible people on and make fun of them. I always hated that about American Idol because I feel like it's just cruel. I was really sad when I heard Christina and Cee Lo won't be around next season though... that might spell the end of watching it for me!
3. How I Met Your Mother - I've been watching this from beginning and it's starting to get a bit old. I mostly watch this now because I feel so invested in finding out who the damned mother is. It's like I can't look away!!! Anyway, here's hoping this season is the one!
4. Dexter - Love. Love. Love. What more can I say? While everyone else seems to think last season sucked, I actually really loved it. I could do without the weird feelings Deb now has, but I am willing to look past it. Can't wait to see the premiere!
5. Law & Order: SVU - Both my husband and I just enjoy watching this show, it's consistently good and entertaining. Nothing earth shattering here, but I like it :)
6. Modern Family - Hilarious show. I cannot wait to see how everything unfolds with Gloria's pregnancy!!!!
Notice there are no new shows on that list. I just can't get into anything, seems like the networks are having a lot of trouble coming up with original content!!!!!
What about you guys? What are your favorites?

Giveaway over on Lattes and Love!
Hello, world! I am coming out of that hole I've been hiding in to let you know that Lattes and Love is hosting a giveaway featuring a product from my Etsy shop, Tails & Toes! You should all head over and check it out :)
This weekend was a whirlwind. My sister, her husband, and my adorable 2 and a half year old niece were visiting and we had such a blast! We went to the zoo, the waterpark, and ate way way WAY too much. I was so busy having an awesome time that I forgot to take a single photo. Not a one. How disappointing is that??? I so rarely get to see my niece, so I am super bummed. Luckily, my husband and I are headed their way for Thanksgiving this year, so we'll take some then.
I'm really trying to get some posts ready to go, and I hope to be back fully very soon. I hope you all stay tuned :)
I hope you all had a great weekend! Did you do anything exciting?
