Take Your Wife To Work

You know when you go for a work ride along with your husband and get to stay in their amazing work float house? You travel by boat for about an hour taking in all of the beautiful scenery. The eagles soaring past, the sea lions playing about, and that fresh air blasting you in in the face. You just feel so alive.

This place is hands down the most relaxing place I have been to. It is located in The Broken Group Islands and is freaking gorgeous. A floating cabin in a b-e-a-utiful bay with nothing around except water, trees, fishes jumping, birds singing, herons hunting and raccoons scavenging. Basically my heaven.   

Jon and his coworker left me at the cabin to go and do a patrol and I was able to fully relax. I haven't been able to do that in sometime and boy oh boy did it ever feel great! 

You must bring the necessities: cell phone (instagram), a book, sunglasses, camera, bathing suit, nail polish, and a skirt.

Waking up to this view ain't so bad

My Bathroom for number ones, luckily I wasn't to pregnant and I didn't fall in. There is an outhouse for number two's.

Nerds

If you look closely you will see a raccoon on your left. The raccoon tried to actually steal the herons fish at one point.

Watching herons hunt is kind of my favourite

Seriously 

Picking out which beach I wanted to explore

J has the worst job EVER

26 Weeks

Size: baby is the length of a green onion. I am the size of a manatee. The pictures don't show my true size, I really am quite big in real life.

Symptoms: I have a bleeding nose most mornings. My back is pretty darn sore most days. Jon bought me a massage for Mother's Day that I haven't used and a facial for our Anni. I feel a spa day is in order in the near future! 

I am hot all of the time. Normally I have the opposite issue and am always frozen. 

Movement: this little guy is still a crazy ninja fool. So set times, mostly just all day and night. Not sure if he ever sleeps or if he is just super active when he is sleeping. Willow still hasn't felt any kicks but Jon has felt plenty. 

Maternity Clothes: duh! I have two pairs of jeans that I rotate all of the time. This hot hot heat we have been having has had me throwing on dresses as of late. 

Cravings: ice cream and bagels with cream cheese. 

Weight: I haven't looked at a scale yet, I am much to afraid! 

My face is a tad constipated bc Willow started running into the woods at that moment. But there he is buried in all that dress

Sproat Lake

 

I went a little nuts taking pics of my babes, but seriously how could I not. That place and my family... I am one lucky lady!

Hornby Island

We decided to cruise across the island and head to another teeny island called Hornby. I was there 10 years ago and I fell in love with the place and could not wait to show Jon. On that side of the island it is much warmer than our side. It was only 24c/25c and we were sweating our bums off. Like some serious sweaty disgusting messes. We hit up the beach, played in the sea and relaxed....so good.

We finished off the day picking up the most delish pizza and lemonade from the Cardboard House bakery. We devoured it while we waited for our ferry. I can't wait to for our next adventure there and to introduce Willow to it this time. We definitely have much more exploring to do!

24 Weeks Pregnant

Size: Baby boy is the size of an ear of corn. I am as big as a cow. Seriously, this baby seems way bigger than baby Willow. Maybe it's because I am all stretched out still from my first but me oh my am I feeling like a tank these days.

Symptoms: I don't have as many broken blood vessels as last time. They are mostly on my chest this time. 

My boobs are large, no they are ginormous! They just keep getting bigger with my belly. I can't imagine what they will be like when the milk comes in, oh Lordy. 

My ankles are sore this time. I think I need to retire my sandals and trade them in for a good supportive shoe since I am on my feet all day.

Movement: this guy is a little busy body. I don't know if he ever stops moving. Does this mean I am going to have a wild little guy? He is so strong and I can see his kicks and punches already. 

Stretch Marks: no newbies 

Mood: I am feeling good these days. Have an off day every now and again, but who doesn't 

It felt soooo good to be at the lake on a gorgeous day and at one my new most favourite places. Sproat lake is so clear and warm, and it feels extra fabulous to feel weightless in it!

Well folks here is what dreams are made of.... A super hot babe in a bikini 🙈

21 Weeks (gender reveal)

 So blogging hasn't been fun for me lately because our internet is awfully slow and I just end up getting mad when it takes me a half hour to upload one photo. I also haven't figured out how to manage my photos on my MacBook. I end up getting frustrated and locking it up in the closet for a month at a time. I am waitng for my patience to come back and it's just not showing any signs of returning as of late. Anywho, let's get to the good stuff!!!

It's been two whole weeks since we found out the gender of our babe. We went in for our ultra sound so anxious to find out the sex of our second babe and our poker faced technician wouldn't give us any hints at all. She said we would have to talk to our doc and see if she would tell us. I knew my doctor would tell us because she was so excited we were going to find out this round. She left her first a surprise and the second babe she found out too!  So we just enjoyed watching our babe bounce around. The baby was so very active, doing some high kicks, using both hands to try to feel out its surroundings. It was sooooo great. Poor little Willow wasn't too sure what was going on though. And that morning when I told her she would get to see our baby she said " noooo mommies baby nooooooo!!". Hahaha she will be the best big sister when the time comes though, I know it! 

Cuuuuute eh!? 

As soon as we left the appointment I called my doctors office and wouldn't you know it, my doc was out of town until the next week. I tried not to sound disappointed on the phone but the receptionist assured me she would get the doctor to call me as soon as possible. I figured I gueesssss I could wait another weekend. Well I didn't have to because they called the very next day! Yipeeeee!!!

We were on our favourite beach playing with all of the velella velellas that have washed up on shore when we heard the news. Jon and I were smiling ear to ear! So excited to have a little guy to join our clan. 

We love our little boy soooo much already and are just so excited to meet him!!
