I'm finally making progress! I'm 33 weeks tomorrow, the babies nursery is almost finished. I have our baby shower this Sunday, which my son is going to love being around all the women. (he's quite the ladies man)
It's been a weird month, having contractions and the little guy dropped a few weeks ago which is super early and he just seems to get lower and lower.
I've been slightly panicked about his delivery, I never forgot how bad the last time hurt ad how exhausting it was. Not to mention the glamorous side of it. Where by the end you have zero shame. But I thank my wonderful husband again for being so wonderful and supportive and just being here for me. Without him I think I would have crazy panic attacks lol!
I'm excited after this weekend to post the final picks of the nursery. I'm still waiting on some wall art that I ordered but soon!

VANCOUVER!
So my husband and I recently went to Vancouver with my mother in law and father in law for a week.
I had to get on a plane for the first time, which was total hell lol. It was a huge plane with well over 100+ passengers.. Very nerve wracking when you have issues in big groups. But I survived it lol. thanks to my wonderful family members. And the constant squeezing of my hubbys hand.
When we arrived it was raining, for the first three days it rained. The hotel we stayed at had an amazing view though! and even through the rain you could still see how beautiful vancouver was. We had alot of time walking around and sight seeing. I got to enjoy taking alot of pictures and dining at some very interesting restaurants. Through this the whole time i was missing my little man.. but he was definately occupied, because him and my mother were painting the babies nursery. So i got up to date pictures of him in an oversized tshirt being a big brother. (I really appreciated my mom and him doing that for me) Also thanks to the nifty iphone I skyped him everyday!
We got to do some fun shopping found some cool batman converse for Liam which we had been looking for for a long time. Also alot of organic owl things for the babies room.
We also did stanely park and granville island, where we got beautiful pictures.

Homeade love
So this being my last pregnancy, I really want to personalize the nursery and do all of the things I haven't done.
For instance, I've always wanted to make my own curtains and pillows and be crafty like that. But why would I bother when my mother has always taken care of these things. (saving me from frustration and just helping me out always like the wonderful person she is)
Well this time, I'm relaxed and not nervous and wanting to explore my motherly side. I also (again) have a wonderful husband who inspires and supports everything that I do. Any idea I have he is very welcoming. So I can't decorate how I want and I always ask his input even though I know the answer. Whatever makes you happy hun. I just want you to be happy. That's a good idea, I'm sure it will look great. Then when I falter he picks me up. So it's hard not to get creative. Anyways now that I have strayed from my original train of thought.
I am doing an owl theme in the nursery which I am super excited. I am customizing a mobile, I am making little handmade owls that hang above the crib. I am also going to attempt pillows curtains and blankets. I want to make a pile of pillows in the one corner of deklyns nursery for all the floor time we have coming up. And I am going to do my own owl paintings and a mural. Along with that there is this adorable idea I have for his first photos. He will be dressed in a little owl hat and diaper and be curled up in a nest!
Also all of this homemade stuff gives my other little guy a feeling of being involved when he's helping mommy with it! Plus my little guy loves crafts. He is alot like me we both have the same creativity and sensitivity. And with this pregnancy he is super protective and very loving. What kid just randomly tells his mom she is beautiful a few times a day. When he says that though I tell him well u must be beautiful to cuz you look just like me :). He tells me he is handsome cuz woman are beautiful and men are handsome. I have no doubt he will make an amazing big brother.
So i made a family of owls each one different but they all have similarities as well. Now we just have to patiently wait for the last member!

The love and support of a good man
I just wanted to praise my husband in this post. He has put up with my randomness during this pregnancy really well. I remember one day in particular he was ultra amazing and realized how hard on my body pregnancies are. We were showering together and we usually have complete conversations together, well he is always making me laugh or just goofing around. So i started off full fledge laughing which turned into full fledged bawling. My husband (this being his first child, and pregnancy) was kinda caught off guard. That didn't stop him from asking what was the matter, and hugging me. My answer was I don't know. lol. Because if you have ever gone through a pregnancy before, you know that you can cry over the slightest thing, a sappy commercial. Someone doing something nice for you. Just anything.
Now over my last 6 months of pregnancy he never dissapoints. He is constantly telling me how beautiful I am, and going out of his way to make every day easier. Even though I tend to make them harder with the chaotic hormones coursing through my body. There was one day earlier in my pregnancy he was at a loss of words and was like "i just dont know what to say to you." That was due to my random reactions to everything.
Recently I was pretty sick with a special special cold and I was never out of gingerale or anything that could comfort me, because being pregnant, well YOU CANNOT DO ANYTHING OR HAVE ANYTHING. As if you dont feel like the 9+ months are long enough. lol But the sweetest part he got sick right after me and wouldnt take any medication because I couldn't. I have never met a more selfless person in my entire life, and am reassured everyday that he is my soulmate. I was never complete until I met him, and then I married him. He was the missing piece to my almost whole heart. Up until now it was shared between him and my son. Now as we venture down this new path life has taken us, our little fella thats brewing has already taken up the remaining piece of my heart, and I can't wait till we get to meet him. We also have this debate about who he will look more like. My other son looks so much like me its ridiculous and I have even had a woman stop and ask me if i was his mother when he wasnt with me. I have a dominant gene, but so does he. All in all i hope he has my husbands eyes, they are the window to his beautiful soul. They change colors with his moods and the first time I looked into them, I knew I was home.
Now I will apologize for my sappiness but its definately how I feel. I have the most amazing family ever, and most people can't find the love that we share, so I find myself very lucky and grateful

Our fur babies

Little miss Fifa

It doesnt seem fair to just post about the people babies... This is a look into the rest of the brood
Monday, 10 October 2011
I had my first son when I was 21. The second he was born I fell in love at first sight. All the late night feedings, non-stop crying Amd crankiness got to me now and then but I still felt like I could never love another person or child the way I loved and love him. He is now 4 and in school. And I couldn't fathom having another child to share my time an attention with.... But life had a different choice for me. I was soon plagued with baby fever.. Oh the dreaded baby fever. I caught myself gazing at babies in a longing way just wanting toehold Amd snuggle them. I would carry my cat around the house not realizing I was carrying the poor thing like a baby. Then people around me started having babies, and I would get to hold
Them and smell their baby smells. Lol tormenting and I believe that's what sent my eggs into overdrive. You forget all the sleepless nights, all the fussy days. Accidentally sticking your finger in poop while changing a diaper almost never happened. All you can imagine is that little squirmy old man baby in your arms. Getting your features day by day and looking like a little person.
Now at the beginning of may 2011 I finally gave into a pregnancy test. My breasts where aching and I was late! So sitting on the potty reading the instructions waiting for my assumed negative result, I look down and only one line so far. So I thought give it a minute to confirm that I'm not pregnant. Well I almost fell off of the toilet after that. For the next day or so I couldnt help but feeling a little overwhelmed. I love love love babies, but for some reason pregnancy is just not my thing. Those women that love it I stare at in disbelief. Maybe its my short stature, and the fact that it has to eventually come out, but if the stork actually delivered babies i would have more than 2!

So fast forward, I am now almost 26 weeks and its been a battle. One because I have a complete lack of patience to meet this little person, and two because heart burn and other lovely side effects. Oh did I mention its, hes a little boy. 90% chance anyways!! So my impatience at least can put a name to the little fella. I am actually enjoying this pregnancy though all things aside. I now know what is going to happen, well as much as you can know with an unpredictable little person controlling the situation. I smile when the baby moves, I feel extremely connected considering the first time I was too scared to almost acknowlege what was going on. And I have one beautiful son out of that. I am definately excited to meet his little brother.
this is little Liam not so little any more! This was his birthday this year, and he turned 4! Then started school. Which has been a bit of a battle. One because mommy is sad over him not being home all the time, but also he isnt enjoying it as much as I had hoped!
Our 20 week ultrasound
This is baby boy Deklyn Boyes!! (90 percent chance of being a boy! which we will be doing a follow up through the 3d ultrasound just to make sure!) I am getting very impatient on meeting this little fella, although I feel very close to him. Could be because he uses my bladder as a trampoline, or his swimming habits are starting to get predictable. Either way Im in love!
