Well, I told you that I would have some amazing posts for today, but I lied.
Glen and I left at 8 am for Chesterman Beach, but as we were about 85 Km from the 'rim' we decided to turn around and go to Nanaimo instead.
After we passed through Port Alberni, we drove about 40 minutes on the Highway to Tofino, and it kept raining and raining, harder and harder. Until we couldn't see 5 feet in front of us. For two people who wern't going to be surfing that day, with a shaved dog, we decided against taking our chances to see if the weather was different through the mountain pass.
So, we headed back and spent the day in the Woodgrove mall, looking at baby stuff, Greek wraps and lots of surf stores!
It definitely wasn't as fun as going to Tofino all day and watching a Surf Competition, but we were warm and together.
Chloe on the other hand wasn't too impressed to stay snuggled in the car in a giant comforter all day, but she would of been happy to know that she wasn't soaked to the bone.
We will be re-attempting our Tofino trip probably in a couple weeks, but as for this weekend we still had lots of fun!
Glen bought me 147.03 of Thyme Maternity tops, but instead of paying that, we got them for 26.27 ( 3 tops ), sale racks are amazing.
So that sums it up, sorry that I have nothing exciting to say.

I should have a few exciting blogs to come this weekend as we've packed our weekend with much scenery and driving. But for now I just wanted to share with you. Exactly two weeks until we find out what baby is!
SO excited. YAY!

Excitement is growing as I anticipate the future. I try to live for the day, instead of the future, but it's hard when you have so many good things coming!
First off, on November 7th, I find out the sex of my baby. This is a huge one, it's not only been so hard to be patient, but once I find out, I finally know who is inside of me.
Paayton Harlow or Grey Shilo. Mommy's little man, or daddy's little girl?

Second, on November 17th, John Mayer's album, Battle Studies, will be hitting the shelves. This is nice because if you know me, you know I constantly have John Mayer on replay, and if you live with me it would be annoying. Glen is always telling me to turn John Mayer off.. after hearing the same songs over and over, i'm sure it gets repetitive!

Third, December 5th, Glen and I are going to pick out our large Pine Christmas Tree!


There are quite a few little things in between that excite me as well, but here are a few things that I have no patience for.

Baby Talk

So this Friday I am 6 months pregnant! 1 week to go after and I enter the 3rd trimester of pregnancy!
The one fun thing about pregnancy is that you get to dream and get excited about little things. Like what your baby will look like, what sex it will be, what day it will be born. Things you will buy, where you will take your baby. Basically it's a dreaming period, and it's kinda fun!
I was on Baby Gap and found the cutest little outfits. I am so excited to dress something other than myself.
Check out these ridiculously adorable items.




















































Love baby items. Always have, and now I get to buy them!

PS. put a few Christmas Light in our backyard last night, so cozy. 64 days until Christamas, ya'll!

Autumn

Wow, did I mention how amazing Fall is? Today Glen and I decided to take a hike @ Elk Falls. Not only is it a money saver, the baby needs the exercise!
I can't believe what we as people take forgranted. We live in one of the most beautiful provinces, and yet we don't step outside!
Today was definitely a eye opener. The 2.5 hike was well worth it. The colors and smell of pine and outdoors move right to my core and make me feel so alive!
Chloe not only had the time of her life, but almost fell down a steep cliff. Such a curious little girl!
Glen and I have decided to pick a trail each week and walk it. It's so good to get to know your outdoors. I can say that I haven't been the most active in the last 6 months, but I plan to incorporate a lot of outdoorsy activities into my family!
Check out my photo's on Facebook--we took over 168!

Get outside!

Friendship.

Does anyone else feel like friends come and go? It seems like every year I have a new set of friends, and even the ones I have had for years, are living far away, out of reach.
I've talked to a few people with the same issues and it makes no sense. Do people simply become to busy to care anymore, or does lifestyles become un-mashed?
A friend means that I can tell her/him anything, and I expect the same in return.
I expect to be able to cry, and be real with them. Does life not offer this type of a friend anymore? Or are they the people you only see in movie's now?
It's something that presses in on my mind frequently. I don't know quite how to deal with it either.
Any ideas?

Thankful Dinner

Dear Readers,

Sorry it's been forever since I posted a blog. Friday night I came down with a terrible cold. Can you believe that? Right before my Five Thanksgiving Dinners started.. I was SO disappointed. Not only is thanksgiving one of my favorites but I wasn't able to enjoy it because not only am I pregnant, but I had a plugged nose and sore throat.
For those who haven't been pregnant, your stomach seems to shrink and gets squished, so I ate about half of what I ate last year.
Thanksgiving is so great! Family, Food and Fun. What more could a girl ask for?
This year I decided to cook my own dinner because since I can't eat much at each meal, I wanted leftovers so I can snag some Pot's or Stuffing whenever my little tummy feels the desire!
If you feel the urge to comment, do so! Tell me how your Thanksgiving Dinners were!
