So it be snowing (ish) today... right now it's sunny but last night we got some of the white stuff. Polar Bear actually had to go and plow for a few hours... he left around 12:30 - 1ish in the morning and didn't get home till almost 7am. He finds plowing VERY boring, but it's a couple of hours of work, so we won't complain about the money.
Yesterday we went to a bike (as in MOTORCYCLES) show in TO. We just took it slow getting there and back, but it was nice. Have found me a bike that is actually small enough for me to touch the ground and actually comfortable. Now it's just to get the license and the almost 6 grand to actually buy a bike like that. I don't think it'll happen in the next year, I figure my goal is sometime in the next 3 years. It's hard to justify spending money on something like a bike with a baby on the way.
Well this little girl keeps kicking up a storm, which I love and my husband's all excited about. It's a little hard when you're out of the house for a while though. What they say about girls carrying lower than boys is SO TRUE! She's so much lower than Cole was, for Cole I could feel him kicking usually near my belly button or higher. This little monkey is inn the pelvis region so she feels like she's kicking harder being there's less fat there to cushion the kicking and she keeps hitting my bladder!
I've not been doing too too bad with the emotional front (knock on wood) at the moment. I think the fact that we don't have any money and that I'm not doing my usual Christmas helps a lot. Usually we do a big hubbub with the family, but it would just be too much like last year in some ways. Especially being one of my cousin's is pregnant and another has a little boy who was born a few weeks after Cole. I can handle both on their own. Heck I'm getting better at handling being around babies in general (I still haven't tried being around a new born) but to be engulfed by family who are well meaning but may say the wrong thing is not something I want to do. Also being I'm only a few weeks different in my due dates to Cole, I don't really feel like repeating my experiences when I was pregnant with Cole. So instead I'm staying home, having some family here and going for Christmas dinner at my husband's family. And next year, when my little girl is here safe and sound, then maybe I'll be happier to do the whole family hoohaw. I just don't want to deal with a whole bunch of people, with their kids and babies and not have mine here to share!
I actually managed to make cookies last week thanks to a thing called gift cards and all access stores. It's weird buying your baking supplies in Zellers but what can you do about it. I had a $50 gift card from the wedding and managed to buy most of what I need... now all I need in Molasses, Cinnamon and Yeast to finish my Christmas cookie bonanza.. WOOT. (No the yeast is not for cookies... it's for bread, DUH!) Hopefully we may have enough money with pay day this week that I can get those 3 things.
Well hopefully your December is going well so far. I know I can't wait till 2010 is over... it's mostly been a pretty shitty year!
