Congratulations to my "little brother" Ian and his new wife Charlene! Seeing my brother with a wedding ring on and a happy wife beside him this morning was a bit strange for me! Ian you have come a long way from the little guy who used to eat fertilizer and bugs and cut his eyelashes with scissors!!! Charlene you have a good man in my brother and we love you for loving him!! Welcome to our family!!
Not a lot has happened here in Colombia to report. We are anxiously (some of us more than others, namely me!!!) awaiting the arrival of our son. I have reorganized the closet at least four times, cleaned, moved furniture, bought some seemingly useless things for him, and I read the "What to Expect.."pregnancy bible over and over and over. Of course you can't rush nature or a baby, and he's still in there, stretching and rolling and hiccuping. I saw pictures of my husband when he was a few days old, he had and entire head of thick black hair and the chubbiest little cheeks ever. Oddly this is the baby I see in my dreams on occasion, so I imagine Lukas will resemble him more than the Canadian side, but maybe we'll be surprised!

A cool peg shelf that I found in a store here already made up!
Peter really wanted a "formal" picture of us when I was nice and large. Our first family photo!

That's not a Peg Shelf!
I didn't know what to call it.. sometimes i can't remember english anymore.. help me out.. what is it????
I think peg shelf is perfect!
Beware the "what to expect bible" I read that when I thought I was in labour and it said in the Q&A section under "I am afraid I won't make it to the hospital in time" question that this mostly only happens on TV and in the movies ... an hour later I was delivering my first baby in my upstairs hallway with the paramedics, firefighters and police!!! Mother's instinct is always #1!! Remeber that always! If you feel like you need something or you feel like something is happening trust yourself!
I can't wait to see the pics when Lukas arrives!!
oddly Karen I remember you every time I read that part!!! i'm pretty intuitive so i am hoping it won't fail me now!!
It certainly won't fail you now...intuition just gets stronger when you become a mom!
You might also want to start reading what to expect in the first year or the baby whisperer or something else that gives a bit more guidance on what to do once the baby arrives...not just how to get to the baby.
Babies are so great, you are going to have such a great time being a mom...I still can't believe my kids are already 3 and 5!!!
