Where to begin, I've had so much to share and just haven't found the time (or the motivation) to put a post together.

Loving: that I can finally feel our little boy moving, pretty frequently! It is such a weird/neat feeling, and I love every time I feel him. I also felt incredible joy this morning waking up to a clean, mostly organized house- my mood is so much better if I start the week that way versus chaos/messy.

Loathing: The cooler temperatures that are creeping in, I've never really been a fan of winter- maybe for a week at Christmas and that's it. I struggle with the dark mornings, the crappy road conditions, and the feeling that summer may never come again (dramatic, I know).

Eating: Leftover Halloween candy (of course), and drinking fizzy water like crazy- which seems to be a bizarre pregnancy craving.

Reading: a few novels on my kobo: "Not My Daughter" by Barbara Delinsky (a story about a teenage pregnancy pact, in a small conservative town); "The Good Sister" by Drusilla Campbell (Follows the adult relationship between two sisters, when one commits a crime). Side-note, I love my new kobo- Kyle got it for my birthday, in anticipation of being able to read at night when I'm feeding/rocking the baby and I can tell I'm going to get a lot of use out of it. It's also waterproof which is going to be perfect for the lake this summer/reading in the tub!

Listening: I'm planning on getting Adele's new album. I'm also looking forward to breaking out the Christmas albums soon, though not too soon or else I'll get sick of them!

Anticipating: Meeting with our midwife this week, hopefully that appointment will be informative and reaffirming. There were quite a few reasons (another post) why we chose a midwife vs: an OB to be our primary provider during the birth- however I am incredibly grateful that I've gotten a spot! In Alberta, there are only 80 midwives for the whole province, so it's hard to come by their services; especially since it is now recognized/covered under our health care services.

Working On: the easier question would be what aren't we working on. The two biggies are: 1) a new budget for our family *thanks SW for your help in this! So grateful, and; 2) cleaning out our den to turn it into a nursery for the little man. It's one of those rooms that was extra storage/Kyle's office during school so it's needing a major purge. I'm hoping to take progress pictures as we work on it- though I may be too embarrassed to show you what it looks like right now!

That's all for now, happy Monday sweet readers.
