March Already!

I took Cali to her friend Meghan's birthday party today. It was at a local gymnastics club. Cali had a great time running around on the foam and jumping on the trampolines. Some time has past since her Jolly Jumper days but she got back into the swing quickly.



I can't believe that it is March already, so that means spring should be just around the corner, right? Not here, today we got a huge dump of snow. I think that this has been my snowiest winter in Alberta. I don't believe a week has passed without a snowfall. This is all fine as it covers the dead brown Alberta landscape, however I am not to used to driving in the snow. I got stuck on my street about a month ago as they don't plow in southern Alberta, instead they wait for a Chinook to blow in and melt it all. In the meantime the roads get quite nasty. I will give them credit for plowing the main streets and highways but other than you are out of luck.

Ed competed in a badminton tournament this weekend. His team made it to semi-finals. I think that's pretty good considering his age... just kidding!



We are working away at the basement. Hoping to get it finished before Ed's brother Darryl comes to visit for Easter. Right now we are living completely on the upstairs level. It's a mess we have furniture and boxes shoved in every corner of the house. There is no room to "pay" as Cali says. I can't wait to get it completed then I can set up her kitchen and slide. It's going to awesome. I will have to post pictures of the progress when I get a chance.

How we spent our weekend

This week Mom came out from Okotoks and helped me finish off the baby's room. I think that it looks pretty darn cute. When we were painting the room Mom mentioned that the room was going to be like baby; half white and half yellow. Isn't that hilarious? I was just looking for gender neutral colours.

I read last week that after you are 37 weeks the baby can really come anytime and be considered full term. So I was stressing out a bit that it wasn't finished. Baby didn't even have a blanket made! Now when people ask if I am all ready I can truly answer "yes". I still need to pack the hospital bag but that can wait until next week. I am notorious for last minute packing anyway.

So we will be 37 weeks on Tuesday so anytime in the next few weeks we should have an exciting announcement on here! Our actual due date is May15th and I like I have said many times I won't be surprised if baby is late.

This weekend Ed competed in a badminton tournament here in Strathmore. I went and supported him as any good spouse would. It was awesome! I even got some special treatment since I was pregnant. The coordinator provided me with a padded chair, so I had the best seat in the house.

Ed played very well might I add. It was the first time I watched him play badminton, he is one mean machine, just as I suspected. Next weekend we have a tournament in Canmore to attend which I am quite excited about. Ed suggested that we get a hotel room and spend the weekend out in the mountains! Hooray a holiday from the prairies!
