I'll be honest, I wasn't in the mood to write anything big this week so instead I've decided to share 12 random things with my readers. The idea came to me after reading a blog last week written by one of my favourite bloggers. Sharing random thoughts in her posts is something she does almost monthly. I enjoy these entries most of all because they offer an up-date on her day-to-day life and often I'm able to relate to many of the things she writes about.
Here are mine...
1. I'm officially 27 weeks 1 day pregnant (due June 27th) - Yay! Almost in my third trimester. The funny thing is, based on my dating ultrasound which was done around 7 weeks, I'm only 26 weeks and due July 5th. According to my doctor the later due date is more accurate...let's just say he's probably right, but when I make it to the earlier date I'm pretty sure I'll be good and ready. "Please hangout...go ahead and stay another week inside my belly" - said no female to her unborn full-term child ever!!
2. Do we have names yet?? You bet I do, but unfortunately my hubby and I are yet to agree on one. My 3 year old has decided her little sister will be named Isabelle...little does she know I have no intention of naming our unborn child Isabelle. It's a beautiful name but it's not for me. Who knows? Maybe I'll consider it for one of her middle names.
3. Speaking of middle names...all of our children have two middle names. My hubby never liked the idea but I have two middle names, so I somehow convinced him it was necessary.
4. I just started a new 3rd trimester labour bootcamp...just a little workout routine I can basically do anywhere, anytime. It only takes about 20 minutes but I definitely work up a sweat doing it. My intention is to make it a part of my daily routine at least 5 days/week. Week one was a success! I literally can't sit down without supporting myself right now because my leg muscles are so sore -ha! If I manage to keep it up, I promise to share an up-date next month on how it's going. On a side note - my hubby started a workout routine too! I'm very proud of him.
5. Yes I'm still running...about 4 days/week. I'm eager to sign up for a race later this spring but I'm so indecisive right now - which one should I do?
6. My body is finally craving healthy foods again. Last weekend we spent an amazing few days with our friends at Blue Mountain and enjoyed several incredible meals but as soon as we got home I put my family on a strict vegetarian diet for a few days! I love meat but I can only take so much of it...and my kiddies are the same. My oldest son actually threw up his dinner during our first night at Blue. We enjoyed a lot of ribs that evening, which is not something he's used to. They were absolutely delicious but his little tummy just couldn't take it.
7. I can hardly wait to see Beauty and the Beast! I feel like a little girl again going to see the original animated film for the first time.
8. I'm loving the longer days and somewhat warmer weather (with the exception of today's crazy snow storm!) I'm also counting down the days until I can take the kiddies to the Farmer's Market again!
9. It's been almost one year since I last cut my hair...I plan on waiting a little longer but I'm really looking forward to spoiling myself one day, getting my hair done, then heading out for a girls night. I did the same thing last year and I promised myself back then I would do it more often. It's definitely that time again.
10. We just found out my brother is coming home for the Easter weekend and I can hardly wait. The kids are even more excited than me because they had the time of their lives getting to know him better this past Christmas. We've already started counting down the days.
11. Our dog Cody is getting groomed this weekend...right now he looks like a giant polar bear (he's an almost 90 pound golden doodle). Last time he was groomed our littlest guy didn't even recognize him. It was pretty funny.
12. I'm really looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow morning but I'm also considering getting up and going for a run...if I run in the morning before drinking anything I don't have to take as many washroom breaks -ha! Although I know exactly where all the good bushes in my neighbourhood are -haha!
Have a great weekend everyone!
