.Baby, Baby, Baby.

Well, you all rock big time!
Seriously! Between here and facebook, Thanks {about a million x} for all your sweet and sincere words of congratulations to me and pete. And our wee baby t.

I hope you all know just how much it really means to us. This new phase in our lives is pretty crazy and wild and exciting and topsy-turvy and, well......you guys......you all just made it that much better!
Gosh. We are so feeling the love!
Now to get to the juicy details......
 First of all, I was just bursting to share our amazing news and I almost announced it about 20 times already, but I managed to keep it {sort of} quiet. And to be honest, it was probably for the best as I'm still processing all these changes even as I write this post! Now, if only I could say the same about a certain mother {soon-to-be-grandmother!} of mine about keeping things hush-hush, we might have made it past the first trimester before making our big announcement.....but I guess this news is just too darn exciting to keep to ourselves!
And I'm sure some of you may have guessed already. Especially with my brain only on baby things lately.....remember this post last week. And then this one? And not to mention my pinterest account.
So, I'm 11 weeks along and feeling great! Baby is the size of a lime according to the Bump, hence the limes images {in case you where wondering why on earth I was posing with a lime} and has indeed lost it's tail. Way to go Baby T! And apparently it's also swallowing and kicking in there!
We're due around thanksgiving {and that's canadian thanksgiving in october!} and I'm already excited about having a baby around for christmas this year {I'm weird and think about things like that}. I haven't had any nausea {please don't hate me!}, just an extremely bloated belly. Oh, and a bit of dizziness. I'm also exhausted! Making a baby is pretty hard work. I've seriously never been so tired in my entire life, and I just can't seem to get a solid sleep. Like Ever. Sleep is just not happening.
I swear it's an evil joke.....like how I should be sleeping while I still can, and well, I simply can't. Pure evil.
Oh well, I won't complain. No 'morning' sickness is a very very good thing, so I don't want to jinx it.
On another note, we get to hear our baby's heart beat this week for the first time. How cool is that?!?! We are just dying over here waiting for that appointment! I think that will really make this seem 'real'. Right now, other than missing my friend flo {not to be confused with my actual friend, fiona}, the bloat and lack of sleep, I simply can't believe that I have a little baby in me! And a baby that is already the size of a lime! Holy smokes!
Another hard to believe thing, is the changes that are happening to my body. Clearly I am clueless because I was convinced that I wouldn't need to shop in the maternity department till like month 6. Well, I was very {very} wrong. This bloated belly has made all my pants uncomfortable and I am seriously contemplating trying out some maternity jeans. ALREADY! Gosh, that sucks. Also my ta-ta's are sure looking prime these days {aka. HUGE!}, which leaves husband with a devilish smile on his face. And me with some tender-twins and out shopping for a new bra.
So as you can see, things around these parts have really been all baby, baby, baby. I will try my darndest not to make this blog 100% baby, but then again, this blog is about my life, so maybe a little bebe talk will sneak in every now and again. Hope that's okay. xo.

.Our Little Lime.

well hello there little lime
we're so very {very!} happy to meet you.
See, there was a very good reason why I've been missing around these parts lately.....I've been busy making a wee little baby!!
Yes, I'm Pregnant!
And we just couldn't be more excited about it!

.Weekend Clean-up.

My weekend in two short words:
Movies + Cleaning.
Yep. That was the extent of it.
Saw two movies [Wanderlust and Friends with Kids], both of which where very enjoyable. Liked Friends with Kids much better [in fact really enjoyed it, and highly recommend], but Wanderlust had some very amusing parts including a nudist, which always makes things funnier in my opinion.
Friends with Kids:
Wanderlust:
And the second, very exciting part to the weekend, included cleaning and organizing our basement and then deciding to move around [which turned into swapping] a couple of our bedrooms. Big plans, I know. And I am proud to say, we did them both....take that procrastination!

Anyways, I will take some pictures for you when I return as I am off to Calgary till Friday for work.
Which is one thing I so wish I could throw on the procrastination list.

.Pink.

I have never been a "pink" girl. 
However, these hot pink lips popping up everywhere has me wanting to try out the trend. 
So friends, help me out.....Yes or No?
And if yes, what shade/brand?

AND....will hot pink lipstick turn me into looking like Blake? Cause, that would be great.

.Tasty Apple Crisps.

I made these yesterday when I noticed an abundance of apples in our fridge.
The recipe {and the top picture as I ate mine too quickly} came from Ontario Apple Growers.
Boy, they sure where a nice little treat.
*Note: These little suckers can stay in a sealed container for up to 3 days, so make a bunch and munch away!
