I've hit my 35 weeks mark, and its been one crazy ride let me tell yah. Words can't even describe how I am so incredibly excited to see my cute baby boy! He is getting so big now I can barely breathe. That pesky swelling is finally starting to kick in. My ankles and hands are huge! And they ache like no mans business. Do you know how weird it is to feel water sloshing around in your feet? It's quite nasty. Also, my pelvis, hips, and lower back have never known such pain! I'm one centimeter dilated now, so the days are going by quick but not quick enough. Since his head is in the downward position now he is trying his absolute hardest to break out early - which I don't blame the little guy, it is quite cramped for space in there. I got head smashed so hard in my pelvis the other day by my sweet baby boy that I swear my water was going to break. I was petrified of the thought of labor in the early days of pregnancy, and now I feel that day can't get here faster.

My endometriosis hasn't been my biggest fan either these days since Ren has been getting bigger, stronger, and snuggling up in the most uncomfortable positions. This girl was just so lucky to be placed in the hospital for a week because of the awful pain on my right side - which is where my endo is the worst. They did let me go home when they knew I could handle pain management at home, and not go into preterm labor. Luckily all I really have to do these days now are watch some Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel on my Netflix, and snuggle with Roxy until my love bug makes his appearance. We had a preeclampsia scare this past week because I've been getting crazy bad headaches, seeing black dots, throwing up randomly, gained 11 pounds in a 5 day span, and my heart has felt like its about to explode out of my chest. Luckily all of my blood test are normal, and I don't have any protein in my urine, so for now I'm safe. But my doctor has been keeping a close eye on me. I will say that if I did end up getting preeclampsia this late in my pregnancy I won't be as terrified because Renner is just about full term, so it will be a lot easier to just get him out now than having to wait or put me on bed rest - depending how bad the preeclampsia got. But I'm safe for now! Which is a huge blessing because we don't even have our stuff from Calgary yet!

We are finally in our new home, and have been for the last month and a half. But since we don't have any of our stuff we've been "camping" which basically means that we've been sleeping on an air mattress, which might I add has been quite uncomfortable being 8 months pregnant. So sleep has been quite the adventure. I cannot wait until we have our cute boys room all set up! And also to have our bed, couch, kitchen stuff, coffee table, etc. You truly never realize what an awesome feeling it is to have a bed, until you don't. But this weekend we finally are getting everything! Luckily we do have our TV and have our internet set up so I'm not left with nothing to do. But man do I need to start nesting already! As soon as our house is nicely decorated, and actually has furniture in it, pictures of our humble abode will be posted!

Keagan and I have been trying to fit in date nights as much as possible since we know they will be rare in these months to come. But now that I feel like I'm holding a huge watermelon between my legs its been a challenge. We do try to make it out for wing night on Wednesday nights, because honestly who could pass up 39 cent wings? We also scored some awesome movie passes during Christmas time, and since we LOVE going to movies, we've been doing that a lot as well. Date nights with this incredibly amazing man are always a must, because these days of just him and I will be in short supply in about 4 1/2 weeks. Even if its only playing Call of Duty, and eating junk food - I'll take it.

Start of Summer.

View from our balcony.

We are officially in Red Deer, and we are love love loving our new place! It definitely is the nicest place we have lived in so far in our almost 7 months of being married. We don't even want to leave its so pretty! But we are enjoying every minute of it that is for sure. We even have a forest that we can look out over our balcony! It's just awesome. The only sad thing is that Roxy isn't technically allowed to stayed with us... So we have to sneak her in and out of the building anytime we take her out. We got caught with her once, and the guy said we had to get rid of her. Psssh. Even though I think that's lame because we're only here for a month or two, to be on the safe side we keep her at one of the techs houses during the day, and then bring her here at night. One of the good things though is that Keagan is going good so far on his selling! It's definitely been a bit of a challenge. More than we thought it would be, but its paying off.
I for surely have a lot of time on my hands! I've been keeping busy with different things. Exploring around town is definitely a big one, hanging out with new friends and family, reading a lot, and watching movies. I didn't even realize how awesome it is to actually be in a house again! Don't get me wrong I loved the hotel. It was fun, and an adventure, but its so awesome to actually have a stove again! We'll be in our apartment for a couple months, and then off to another hotel for a few more weeks in Cranbrook, BC, and then back to Calgary.
This has been such an amazing adventure! I can't wait for the rest of the summer to play out. It's been a blast to meet new people and to just explore all of the different towns.
