XY

It's a boy! I had my ultrasound done the other day and as it turns out, we are having a boy! Graham of course was beaming from ear to ear with the idea that he is having...a son.

As with most women I was secretly hoping it was a girl, but I am very happy anyway. It's funny though, I was positive that I was having a girl. Something inside of me made me feel 100% positive that little Kenzie (fav. girl name) was growing away. I had the embarrassing, but funny task of returning these sweet little girl suits to the Bay last night - ha ha!

Our thoughts have turned to what to name 'him'. There are several names that are holding on strong, such as; Aedan, Calum, Keane and many more. We're so unsure how to decide what his name will be. We've thought of having all of our favourite names on the dart board, then each throwing one dart, thus leaving us with the name list down to two. A video game competition also came up in conversation, of course this was Graham's evil way of trying to ensure he gets to pick our wee boy's name - I am terrible at video games! I'm sure we'll figure it out sooner rather than later.

We've finally made the first steps to having the yucky carpet replaced. See, the people that lived here before were messy, to say the least and their pets didn't seem to care where they went to the toilet. When we moved in we got the carpets professionally steam cleaned and sanitized, but there are stubborn stains that just wouldn't come out. We had the Sears guy here today taking measurements and showing us samples of carpets and laminate flooring. I will soon get his estimate by e-mail...fingers crossed that it's not too out to lunch!

Thanks to our fantastic friend Perry, we now have a functioning bathroom light and light switches that don't require two switches to be in the on position before the light will work. Thank you Perry! Now Graham won't have random patches of beard hair that he has missed because it was so dark - ha ha! At one point the light bulb burned out in the shower room that adjoines to the part of the bathroom with the sink. It was at that point that we enlisted the help of our Coleman camping lantern! Again, thanks Perry.

I received a package in the mail the other week, which was very exciting! My sister-in-law Jennifer, who lives in Ontario, sent me a wicked little care/congratulations package that included a really nice maternity outfit (always grateful), a handy baby wipes container, a nice note and the dreaded video games! Jennifer, what are you doing to me?! Graham is obsessed with the games and has barely left the warm side of his Game Cube! Of course I'm just being melodramatic. I really appreciate the thought you put into the package and really appreciate it, thank you :)

Suppose that's all for now.

Ciao!
