27 weeks/7 months (or... someone help me, my hair dryer broke)

Here's the little gina at 27 weeks. Apparently I'm 7 months today - caraazee.

And yes my hair dryer broke and this is the result. I loathe, loathe! having wet hair... so I was really grumpy a few mornings this past week. Oh well. I'm super cheap when it comes to buying stuff like this. I need to get a good quality hair dryer so it doesn't break on me.

My family is coming over today to celebrate my big 3-5 (my bday was on Tuesday...). It's so nice to have a full house every now and again especially on such a nice spring day.

Hope you're having a great weekend!

20 weeks (ish)

Here's the bump at 20 weeks (& 6 days!)... so far this baby is a bit different from Leo but not too much! I didn't really have any cravings with Leo, but I did have a huge aversion to swiss chard and salmon. I don't seem to have those this time around. I do have a somewhat bigger than normal sweet tooth right now. I could eat a chocolate chip cookie every day I think....

I'm also feeling more in shape than I was last time thanks to the Belly Bootcamp I've been attending since I was pregnant with Leo (I can still do at least one push up from my toes!) & BodyFlow at GoodLife, although things are stretching and tweaking a bit more because you know as my midwife says: "the apartment has been lived in before..."

Right now I'm LOVING my Old Navy maternity skinny jeans (why they don't have maternity in Canada is beyond me!). I basically wear them everyday if I'm not wearing my black leggings. When the weather gets a bit warmer (it's pretty warm now, but I live at the lake so it's cooler down here than the rest of the city!) I have some dresses I picked up at Target on my trip to Florida that I'll likely live in.

Still working on the names list! I know we have some time, but I just want my hubby to agree with at least one name I come up with! I've started just sending him names randomly to try to get him used to the ones I like... We'll see!

Oh ya and I chopped my hair off - I think there was about 5 inches on the floor by the end. I love chopping it in the spring!

Happy Friday!

mess

We got home today from a week in Florida and the house is a mess. I could have sworn we cleaned it before we left.... I guess that's what unpacking and a million loads of laundry will do to you.

Oh and I took this pic the week before I left. I'm 15 weeks now (14 in the pic I guess) and I already look like I'm 5 months pregnant. I guess the second really does show up quicker! Damn (lack of) abs ;).

Happy Family Day to those who have the day off!

Update - I guess I'm 16 weeks pregnant now, not 15, so apparently your brain fries a bit faster in the second pregnancy as well. Thank goodness for BabyCenter!

What I've been up to lately

Howdy!

I'm going to be honest -- I haven't felt much like blogging over here lately. I have my reasons -- one of them is pretty exciting the other is kind of boring.

I'll start with the Boring One: I've been busy at work. It's starting to kind of slow down a bit again but I've been traveling which makes me tired.

And for the Pretty Exciting reason and one that also has been making me tired -- I'm pregnant! That's right, I've got an extra being hanging out with me for the next six or so months (and then life).

Should be interesting, so I decided to start a mommy blog -- because why not? I'll just put stuff there that I like, buy or make for this little peanut. If you're interested you can find it here. If not, that's cool too. I know mommy blogs aren't for everyone.

Have a great Monday y'all!
