Paris

On the 24th of March, 'Part A' of our belated honeymoon took place. (with 'Part B' to follow in the near future). We flew to Paris for a long weekend break, with the idea of enjoying ourselves 'pre-baby'. Eden and I were lucky to have some fantastic early spring weather for our trip. Grateful for the warm weather, we ditched plans to visit several museums and opted instead to just wander the streets and hang out in the parks soaking up the Parisian lifestyle.
There is so much to see in Paris, that there are many areas that we did not get to explore. With our hotel located in the Latin Quarter, we concentrated primarily on exploring the Left Bank at a leisurely pace. Now we have a list of what we shall see on our next trip!
Thankfully, the bump slowed Eden down slightly, and she was unable to walk the hind legs off this lame donkey for once.

march

does anyone remember that old saying about the month of march "in like a lion, out like a lamb"? well, it is not holding true at all this time around! the weather here has been miserable for the past week, just when i thought spring had sprung! we are getting freezing temperatures and it is threatening to snow in Dunbar. i want to have a little tete a tete with mother nature and let her know that this is unacceptable! i need more sun and more warm weather, and the cold north winds have got to stop!

besides freezing, things are going well! i am now at 21 weeks and feeling very good. the belly is getting bigger and is more noticeably a baby bump and not a beer gut! Although i have only gained 3 pounds in the past 6 weeks, my belly has grown considerably (about 6 inches in the past 2 months)! This bump is beginning to make it harder to bend over and get up from sitting on the floor.... not a good thing for pre-natal yoga!

David and I are leaving this weekend on a short trip to Paris! we will be gone for 5 days, and we are both looking forward to a nice break (and i do hope it is warmer). we will take loads of pictures and post them on flickr!

News Flash!

we went for an ultrasound this evening just to determine the gender of our little bean. after watching it thrash around, do some dance moves, and not co-operate for a few minutes, we finally got the answer we wanted..... it's a girl!!!!!!!! We are uber-happy, she looks perfect, and we can't wait to meet her in person!
