Travel and baby
OUCH! That whole process for Melissa sounds VERY painful! Holy shit! 9 lbs?! I weighed 5 lbs 4 oz, so that is crazy! So Keira, you're next, getting anxious about the delivery or more about having a new baby brought into this life? SOO glad baby is perfect!! But aren't smiles at this age just gas?!
Tell Matt I said thanks Keira, for suggesting Vegas. I have always wanted to go there, and it's not expensive at all for an all inclusive package there. I don't know if all of South America is under warning, but it would be cool to get to see Peru or something like that... hmm... I'll check into that. I know for sure that Cancun is though, and I really wanted to go there, but Cancun is in Mexico, not South America :P... Hmm Costa Rica sounds awesome! I could find myself a Tarzan there you mean :P and we could live in a hut and have sweet babies LOL. You have quite the imagination I must say, Keira. OMG going to the LOTR places doesn't sound geeky at all!! I totally want to!! I have a friend who moved there, so I could just stay with her. I have been doing some hard thinking about that. I'm not sure the shire would still be up, cause all those "doors" were manmade I think, but holy hell, I could see it all!! :) Hmm the UK sounds nice too. I have never looked into places to go and stuff there, and you make all your suggestions sound so awesome. THANKS so much for the suggestions, I will research them all.
What is new with everyone else? Thanks for the email about Friday, Ang... decide what you're doing yet?

More...
Melissa started having regular contractions at about 6:30 pm on Saturday while out to dinner with us. We timed and recorded every single contraction until 12:30. At that point they slowed down to every 10 minutes so M&M went home to sleep in their own bed. Matt called at 6:00 a.m. to say they were on their way to the hospital and this time really seriously in labour. So there were 8 hours of labour, not counting the 12 hours of contractions that were not serious enough to go to the hospital. The baby was not delivered via c-section, but she was huge and had to be pulled out, and Melissa has countless stitches. Daddy watched the whole thing and was the first to hold the baby. Melissa had a fever and had to stay in the delivery room for 3 more hours and be monitored. Baby is perfect! She even gave us a little cabbage-patch smile when we came to see her.
Robyn, Matt says if you can't do Mexico then do Vegas. Is it just Cancun that is under warning, or is it all of South America? What about Costa Rica? They have awesome jungles there that you can Tarzan through. I say go far far away. You were talking about New Zealand... then you could see the LOTR places! You could visit the fucking Shire! Or maybe you're not a huge nerd like me. Anyway I would go to the UK, they have the most amazing stuff all over the place and you can get package deals where you go to all five countries and see everything. And you can go to London and take the chunnel to Paris for the day and stuff. And you can sleep in a haunted castle and see Stonehenge and marry prince William.

A Congrats DIDDO!!
Very cute! Glad to see that everything looks like it went well. You guy's havn't given us much info though.... how long in labour? c-section or natural? daddy faint!!? :) well good luck with your first couple days at home...
Keira.... if you are the same size as Melissa was when she was due, how big is Angelina going to be do you think???!!! WOW! (i mean OWW!) hey... we may be playing poker at our house on Friday night... have a couple new people... give us a call... hopefully you can come.

Yay!
Kaidyn is so precious! She's really fat and has her daddy's exact nose and mama's lips, and a little bum chin! M&M also have lots of pictures of course. They might come over on their way home from the hospital, hopefully today. My Matt is so sweet, he made them a frozen meal to bring home so that they wouldn't have to cook as much this week.
I have 6-8 weeks left, but now we're getting REALLY excited. Angelina's getting really big now and when she pushes her feet out I can feel her feet, bum and head all poking out in different places. Morning sickness is back, unfortunately, and I never know which days I'm going to throw up or be really queasy. And I'm still too busy, with tons of family stuff and lots of work. My last ultrasound was postponed so I still don't know whether I'm actually supposed to be on bedrest. We're also shopping for a new car, the clock's ticking! Matt finished another gruelling CGA exam on the weekend and is now on his third-to-last course, yay!

Hello Everyone ~ It's been forever since I've blogged. Glad to hear that things are going well for each of you. I'm doing alright......I've been going thru a really tough time emotionally with another sickness in my family but my family and I are managing (Mom's side). Other than that just enjoying life in the fast lane like normal. The weather is driving me insane in Vancouver this year though.....last week we had about 7 inches of snow, then we got a couple days of sunshine and this morning it's raining!
Kirsten - Where in Vancouver are you and Drew moving?
Sammi & Robyn - HELLLOOOO! Haha!
Erin - Thank you for all the pictures they are beautiful! Makes me feel like I am not missing as much as I know I am......the whole family looks so happy in all of the pictures. How was Penticton?
Key - Hey lady how are you feeling? I haven't talked to you at all since your birthday...feels like forever! Give me a call or email or I'll do the same in the next couple weeks and we'll catch up.
That's it for me today...I am at work (it's 8:10am and I've been here for almost an hour! Yuck!) so I should start working again.....keep in touch and if I don't talk to you on blog hopefully I will see you when I am up in July/August.

YAY!
CONGRATS TO MATT AND MELISSA!!
I know that I don't know you, but you are related to Keira and I'm still so excited! Plus, she is SO adorable :)
Thanks for posting all those pictures to share with us Erin.
How much more time for you Keira? Getting anxious yet?
Congrats on the move and the new house Kirsten. I hope all works out for you and Drew there. Any luck finding any job down there yet? I don't know, but I doubt it'll be that hard there. What about Drew, what is he going to do there?

hope this works
Hey guys,
I'm just seeing if blogging works for me now. I had to change my name and stuff because for some reason that me and Keira are still trying to figure out, it was bugged.
I have also been quite busy lately. I was supposed to be in Mexico for 6 months right now, but plans changed at the last minute because of two of my other friends so I am trying to plan another trip somewhere else. Anyone have any neat suggestions? I was thinking Cancun at first, but apparently I can't go there because of hurricane warnings. So I don't know... I was thinking Tofino or Las Vegas. Anyone been to either of these?
Also, I'm glad the shower went well :) and Keira, I still have a present for you.
Well I hope this works. I'll talk to you all soon.

Preggers
How exciting! Melissa told me all the weird details about the labour and the hospital and such. I'm still glad I have at least another 6 weeks, even though of course I'm excited to have our baby born. I haven't done all the reading and prep that Melissa has yet, so hopefully I will be cool and calm as her when it's closer to delivery time.
Poor aunty Laura. Hopefully she will be feeling better in time for Kaidyn's birth. Every time the phone rings I expect it to be Matt calling from the hospital to say the baby is coming!
Kirsten asked about cravings and I never answered: that's just a stereotype. Some women get cravings apparently, but it's not like on TV where they're waking their husband up at 3 am to go to the store. Anyone who could do that would be very spoiled and would get very fat! Most of the stuff we all think we know about pregnancy is false, and the stuff that actually happens is unknown to non-preggers.

Early Labour for Melissa!!!
Hey everyone....seeing as NO one posts...i'll post once again.....Matt and Melissa came to kelowna LATE sat night as melissa was in early labour.....i guess they hooked her up to a contraction machine and all that jazz....but things weren't happening all that fast so they sent her home (toi my place) they stayed all day sunday and sunday night and i think if nothing has changed they are heading back to salmon arm today....probably only to race on back here in a couple days....but her doc said she'd be more comforatble in her own home.....so it was a close call and we were all hoping for the baby to pop out......but nothing yet.....oh and here's an update on my mom....
Hi everyone,
Laura has been struggling with a cold and sore throat all week, and Sunday morning had some chest pain, so we went to the hospital where, after
about 3 hours, she was diagnosed with pneumonia. It is one spot in one lung, so not too serious, although the doctor said her lungs sounded
awful. She has been prescribed Moxifloxacin for 10 days, and was told to recover at home because of the superbug at the hospital. They don't want
her to be a patient at the hospital unless she gets really short of breath.
She also has a bit of an infection on her PICC line, which they swabbed and will culture over the next few days. I have to take her in today and
get her PICC dressing changed. Thankfully I am off work today and have no problem doing this.
Still no granddaughter yet.....perhaps she is waiting until Grandma feels a bit better......
Mike
TTFN i'll keep u updated on melissa as they dont have the internet right now!!!

Hello!
I have been extremely busy the last couple weeks, with work, lots of birthdays, family stuff, the shower, appointments, etc, etc. I'm too pregnant to be running around like a maniac, so I've become quite sick.
I tried to blog the other day but the computer was down because of the power outage that struck Salmon Arm through Vernon. Anyone know what happened there?
The shower was wonderful, thanks to everyone! The games were fun, the gifts were generous, and the food was delicious. The baby's room is starting to look more like a baby's room now. I put all the little outfits on hangers in the closet and carebears on the shelf and the dresser is full with baby stuff.
Matt was in Toronto for a week and we are sooo glad he's back. When he got back he won the month-end tourney at Winnies for the second consecutive time. On Friday we have another ultrasound, and on Saturday Matt writes another CGA exam. The end of all his gruelling work is approaching, slowly but surely (this fall).
