So this afternoon I have been having some light spotting. Nothing red, red but still it is freaking me out due to the fact that I lost the last pregnancy.
Been doing absolutely nothing since it has started except being aprehensive and offering up some prayers that everything is ok and that perhaps this is just implantational spotting which can occur between 7 and 9 weeks.
Seeing as I am now just 8 weeks and 1 day I have to lean on that.

7 Weeks and all is well
Well I reached my 7+ week mark but I have to say after having lost the last pregnancy getting to 12 weeks seems to be taking an eternity!!!
My nesting has slowed a little but not because I want it to!! My list is doing ok but I guess the pregnancy + the fasting is taking its toll. On top of that I now have a cold - YUK. I have so much to do this week, just thinking about it is making me tired LOL. My kids have a short school week this coming week due to Thanksgiving and then Eid on Friday. So I still have shopping to do plus decorate the house and do some middle eastern baking. Not forgetting of course that I have my P/T job at Curves and a rather important meeting on Thursday afternoon.
Otherwise all is well on the homefront.
Hope all is well with my friends

Productive Weekend!!!!
Well I got lots done this weekend...this nesting thing is turning out to be a good thing. LOL sure hope it lasts a bit.
On Friday I cleaned house to almost perfection....had guests coming for dinner from Overseas --gotta reputation to uphold LOL.
So yeah I vaccumed, shook out the rugs and washed the floors. Dusted and then cleaned the bathroom and then hit the basement to tidy the toys. Then on Saturday am I put the first coat of paint of the front door and then paced myself with the dinner prep. Glad to say that by 6 pm everyhting was ready and we weren"t eating until approx 6:45. We had a lovely evening and by the time I cleared away it was 12:30 pm - time to hit the sac.
Got up at 10 am (gotta make sure I enjoy my kids independance for the next 7.5 months cause I will lose it for about 4-5 years) headed outside to help my brother in the back yard and then decided to dig up my potatoes LMAO got about 25!!! Then I cleaned up and re-organized the shed. Man I took 3 garbage bags of "one of these days I might need it" out of that little 8x10 structure!!!
Then I cleaned up my veggie garden and put that to bed for the winter. All this while I supervised my brother and DH in the sprucing up and re-stabilizing of the kids play structure and then the relocating of a tree in my garden.
Still gotta do some landscape clean up and move another tree. Hopefully that will get done before the weather changes.

1st PreNatal Visit
WOW that was fast and totally unexpected!!!!
On Monday I personally took my Family Dr. referral for my OB GYN ( gotta do it that way if she hasn't seen you in the last year and my family Dr. takes care of everything for me) I was about to book the apt, thinking I wouldn't get in until just before or shortly after the 12th week.
Anyway turns out they had a bunch of no shows on Monday am so they decided to see me right away. Everthing was basically routine EXCEPT All the talk about the potential risks at my age...OK don't want to hear it even though I know they have to tell me. But this is my theory....Never any drugs or smoking, no alchol, I live a clean and healthy life with only 1 partner. I am blessed with 2 healthy children and this is not my 1st pregnancy and we are God fearing people. So I am thinking the odds are in my favour.
In any case ANY test I do will give me a poistive result due to my age and the only conclusive test is the Amino which carries its own set of risks. So what do I do??? Leave it in the hands of God and trust in His will.
So my first Ultrasound is booked for the 15th of Oct. and then the next OB apt will be on the 20th of Nov. At that time if all goes well we should be able to hear the baby's heartbeat.
I am feeling fine but fairly tired and already feeling bloated oh and I am not sleeping the greatest these days. Not sure what is up with that?!
I have also started some early nesting... just feeling like I have to get my ducks in a row so as not to stress myself or the family. So what have I been up to??? Well on Sunday we went to Rona and I dropped some $500.00 for lights for the house. Then on Monday, after discovering I would have to do some painting in the dining room before putting up the sconce lights, I painted the whole dining room. Have to say I was even especially meticulus as well and even taped everything before I started. And gosh was I good LOL didn't even use a drop cloth and didn't lose a drop of paint!!!
On Tuesday I sanded the front door and then cleaned the garage, no worries I am not lifting anything heavy. I even cleaned DH's work benched and sorted and threw out stuff. It looks amazing in there now.
Today I worked for 6 hours and then came home totally busted so I slept for 1.5 hours then I wiped down and dried the front door and then I put on the primer coat of paint. Thinking I will have to wait until Friday before I put on the second coat and can hopefully pain on saturday or sunday.
So what else is on my list????
-Put the garden to bed which will include some serious weeding and moving around trees.
-Paint DD's room from the original baby colours
-Paint the breakfast room
-Wash the walls of the living room
-Organize and clean up the basement and storage room
and THEN scrap like crazy to see how caught up I can get!!!!!
Sure hope I am not being over ambitious lol. Thats the list and I will likely add to it but I will also see how my enery holds up.
On another note my brother has been in town since mid August - posted here by the military. He came alone, so he is doing the seperation posting and living downtown while his wife in still down east. He has been spending a lot of time with us and we are loving it. He is telling me to take advantage of it as much as possible cause if a position comes up down east he will take it and leave the military. So what has he been up to??? Well my deck has been designed and completed in that time. He did a beautiful job, now we just have to put the stain on. We are totally loving it. Will post pictures soon. :o)
So what else is on his list???
- fix my fence - some posts have heaved
- change the lighting fixture at the back of the house
- tighten up the kids play structure DONE
- might help me with some gardening, especially the trees
- complete the bathroom in the basement
- rearrange my laundry room and put down some flooring
- put up a few walls in the basement as we will need to re-locate the guest room
- Relocate a tree in the back yard DONE
Gosh that is a long list so far sure hope we can do most of it before he goes back home!!!! Don't you just love family who are handy???
Well I think this is a long enough post for now. Will check in soon, Thanks for stopping by!

It's Official!!!!
Tickets are booked and paid for and I am heading overseas for the first time in my life!!! 1 week in Dubai - UAE and 1 week in Kuwait!!!.
I would love to stay longer but DH has to come back for work. At this point I am feeling beggars can't be choosers.
Especially because he was originally going to go alone for 5 days. I convinced him that I should go, so the second set of plans was to leave the kids with the Grandparents and just the 2 of us go for 8 days. We were working on that but it was sitting on our shoulders like a ton of bricks. DH asked me how I felt about bringing them with us and it was like the ton of bricks disappeared. I was in a huge frenzy trying to get everything in order before leaving and now I can take it slower. We have never left the kids before, and as much as I would like to get away with just DH and I, in my opinion going half way round the world isn't the way to do it. So the beginning of next month all 4 of us are jet setting overseas.
I am so excited but it still seems unreal!

PJ Day!!
Yup I practically spent the day in my PJ's. This flu doesn't want to let up so other than taking the kids to Karate today I basically stayed in my pj's and let the flu take over. DH brought me chicken soup in bed, he's so sweet! He then took the kids tobogganing, I hate to miss out on that but hopefully next weekend. Still haven't been to any WinterLude activities this year. Sure hope we can go next weekend.
Hope you all had a great weekend and have a great and unstressful week!

Smothered!!!!
with the stupid Flu!!!!! I was feeling fine all day on Thursday and then wham!!!! Thursday night I was down for the count. I can't breath properly, I am sneezing my head off and I want to sleep!!! And yes I did get my Flu shot!!!So why am I here posting???? Well I have had a few comments about neglecting my blog lol, you know who you are!!!! :o)
So yes I have been neglecting my Blog and I really shouldn't because this is a great way to let my friends know what I am up to and also a great way to get my journalling down. Anyway I digress, I think I got discouraged when I had trouble uploading my photos, can't get them to work but now that Blogger has been updayed perhaps I will have more success.
So Barb that is why those strawberry photos never got on my blog!!! LOL
In my scrapping world, I haven't been scrapping much lately I really should get at it because I am way behind and now that I am not working I should have the time right??? Wrong!!!! I seem to be either just a whole lot busier or a whole lot lazier LOL. My life seems to be filled with cleaning, shopping, an occassional movie and meeting friends. Then there is my volunteering at the school, started back at that this past week and again I wonder what I got myself into. But I do enjoy it, I think it is the prep that gets to me and the fact that the budget that I have to work with is so tight. I really end up dipping into my own money....shhhhhh don't tell DH lol. So right now I am teaching the grade 7 class how to do a book of scraps and started a scrapbooking and paper crafts club with grades 5-8. There is a total of 30 girls in those 4 grades and I have 21 signed up - not bad but Thank God I have 2 volunteer assistants!
Anyway that is my news for the moment, stay tuned there is something big for me coming up soon!!!!
