Busy, busy!

I can't believe how quicky time flies by! They say "Time flies when you're having fun" and while I believe that's true, I also believe that time flies by when you're exhausted!! That explains the past few weeks for me... May and June are always very busy times with school and with report cards looming ahead, I have found myself up quite late most nights by the time Colby is in bed, the house is somewhat cleaned up, and school work is kind of done.

Our weekends have been really busy lately! It seems like they fly by so quickly too. I look forward to our weekends together as a family because sadly, we have such little time together during the week. One of the highlights of May so far was our first camping trip for 2009! We went to Cynthia RV Campground (west of Drayton Valley) on May Long. While we had fairly nice weather for most of the weekend, we got a huge surprise on Monday morning with about 8" of heavy, wet snow!! Yuck!! What a mess to clean up and pack in! I've never seen snow like that on May Long before, so hopefully now we're finally on to spring!!! Colby absolutely loved being outdoors, doing whatever! He enjoyed going for walks, playing at the park, playing in his "wee ooh, wee ooh" (aka fire truck), driving Landon's quad, and running around in general! It's so great to see him playing so well outside... I think he'll definitely need a big boy quad in the future!! He sure enjoyed the two little rides Mommy took him on the quad! Thankfully Colby sleeps really well in the trailer and even let us sleep in until 7:30 one morning!!!! Thank goodness for bed rails on the bunk bed, but apparently that couldn't even keep our monkey in! When I went to check on him at naptime, he had jumped out of the bed over the bed rail and was fast asleep on the blankets and cushions we had on the floor, just in case! Thank goodness they were there!!

Colby continues to amaze us everyday with his growing personality. He sure can be a stubborn little boy sometimes. Gerry thinks he gets that from his Mom... could he be right?! :) When he wants something, he will fight until he gets it or gets too tired to keep fighting. He is also teething right now with some more eye teeth, so he hasn't been the happiest kid on the block for a couple of days. He is talking more and more! It's unbelievable how much he imitates us! He loves to say new words and I think it's great!! I love hearing him say new words!! What a great little man we have! :)

I had another doctor appointment last week and everything is fine with our little baby. The heart beat was down to 132 bpm (it was never that low with Colby), but still in the normal range. I was measuring 23 cm already... at 21 weeks!!! Yikes!! I knew I felt bigger this pregnancy, but not that much. Oh well, hopefully it will all even itself out!! :) I'm feeling a lot of movement, which is one of my favourite things about pregnancy. I love feeling the baby move and kick... such a special feeling. Besides being pretty tired with work, I'm feeling great. Only 5 more weeks of school left until I'm home with Colby and preparing for Baby!! :) Yippee!!

Tomorrow night, I am having a girls night out with a bunch of girlfriends... we are heading to Sexy Gals in the City at Jubilations!! I'm really looking forward to it and I think it will be a great time! The weather is supposed to warm up this weekend too, so fingers crossed for sunshine and no more snow!! :)
