Guess what I bought today??

.......... the complete 1st season of Fraggle Rock!!! I'm so excited to watch it.
I loved the show as a kid. I hope Mason enjoys it.

This is a really good picture of the two guys!

A trip to the fair

We went to the 175th Kingston Fair yesterday. It rained a little, but that was ok. Mason went on the Carousel and even the farris wheel! He loved both of them. I'm not fond of rides, so Mason and his dad can go to Canada's Wonderland when Mason gets older and go on all the rollercoasters.
We watched a horse show for a bit, but Mason was more interested in eating popcorn.
The chickens and roosters made Mason shiver, he didn't like their noises.

Isn't this the best chair????

pretty gross

I think that there is a dead animal in our vents. I smelled something nasty in our room, and checked everywhere for the source of the smell. Grant came in and said it smelled like a dirty aquarium. Well, Grant's nose led him to the vent in our room. We're both afraid to look inside.
YIKES

Get a van or another car?

We're contemplating getting a new car. We will need 4 doors, and more room for two carseats plus a passenger in the back. We were thinking of a van, but Grant tells me whoever he talks to about it says "NO" don't get a van.
We thought about getting another small car instead of a van , so we'll have two cars.
What do you think??

Doctors Appt

I met with my doctor for the first time on Tuesday. She's really nice, and experienced! She has 25 years experience delivering babies.
I got my blood checked as well, for iron deficiency and for the regular stuff that you get done when you're pregnant. If my iron is low, they'll call me. If not, I'll just find out the results when I go in on the 17th.
The doctors here don't give you an ultrasound at 10 weeks. There is a study going on called the Safer Study. It detects down syndrome and any spinal defects. You get your blood tested at 13 and 16 weeks and you also get an ultrasound. We're thinking of signing up for this study.

ugh... Morning sickness

Well, I was a bit worried that I didn 't have any sign of morning sickness. And than, I woke up one day and I was sick. I've got the all day sickness too. I'm on dicletin, but they don't seem to work very well. I have a doctors appointment on Tuesday. Hopefully my blood will be checked for low iron. I'm extremely tired now too.
I'm almost 9 weeks now..so about a month left of this crazy stuff.

Another one of my fave pics.

Garrett managed to pull Mason over a couple of times. I think this was the time when both of them started to cry.

Mason looks like he's going to attack the toy..g

Got some good news

Mason's going to be a big brother!! I'm pregnant. About a month along.
And guess when the baby is due?? March 14th, on Mason's 2nd birthday. Kinda freaky huh? We're all excited here.
I did manage to get a doctor to take me on as a patient during my pregnancy. I do not see her until I'm 10 weeks.

Went to a concert

On Friday, I went to see Theory of a Deadman at Stages here in Kingston. It was a good show. Two bands opened for them. The first band was called "Suface Rising" I think they're a local new band. I didn't care for them. Their method of singing was, well, screaming. The second band was called "Hurst" The lead singer used to be in Econoline Crush. I was a big fan of them back in the day so I was happy to hear him.
Stages used to be a theater. We had a great view of the stage, and I didn't want to leave where we were to go to the washroom. They washrooms were upstairs. So, I had to rush home aftewards.
I got a drink spilled on my foot by a drunk lady! She also kept pushing into us and was leaning on my friend John. I don't think he mind tho haha.
I don't think I'll go to a concert there again though. My ears are still ringing.

How nice...

I had to do a course at work, to get me "introduced to customs" Pretty basic stuff, but it was a good refresher. Anyways, I recieved 98% on my exam, and thought nothing more of it. On Monday, head office sent me a card, a certificate and a PBB t-shirt. My manager told me not to tell the other staff because they didn't recieve anything when they wrote the exams. This is a new proccess management is implementing to boost morale.
I'm now doing another course which is more in-depth, but again a good refresher.

We're being invaded!

My mom noticed what she thought to be specks of bread crumbs, which turned out to be tonnes of ants on the kitchen counter and cupboard!! I called housing
authority to advise of the situation and to see what we needed to do about them. They're called "Thief Ants", and we just have to spray raid. We had to throw out all the cupboard food for fear ants making their way into them. I don't know yet where they are coming from, but I think they're crawling up the front wall and into the window.
GROSS

Weekend in Sarnia

I ventured out to Sarnia on Thursday, accompanied by my mother and Mason. Traffic was great all the way to Brantford where I stayed with Grant's Grandparents. I was a little nervous driving on the QEW, but I managed. The fireworks on Canada Day in Sarnia were really good!! It was a cold night tho.
Mason and Garrett played together on Saturday night. Mason has the advantage of being able to walk, so he'd go full force at Garrett and bowl him over. Mason also ran full force under the stairs and into the cat litter!!!
On Sunday , right after I filled up with gas I noticed orange stuff leaking under my car. I drove back to Val and Wayne's and Wayne opened the trunk. Lo and behold, the water pump was broken and was spraying coolant everywhere. I did get the car fixed, and left around 6pm to get back to Kingston.
All in all, it was a great weekend!
