Third trimester, baby!!

Well, as of today I am now in my 3rd trimester! Yay!!!!!!!!

I can't believe that I'm here already, 27 weeks, crazy!! And with it being Christmas, the next few weeks will fly by and then all of a sudden I'll be 30 weeks!!

We tried to take the girls to see Santa on Monday night. We got to the mall (which is 35 minutes away) at 7:20 and we went up to the line there were quite a few people. The lady in front of us must have worked there cause she said that Santa was closed, the wait was over a half hour and he had to leave at 8. So we walked away and told Kayla that we couldn't see him. Her little heart was breaking and she started to cry, which of course made me almost start to cry cause she was so excited to go see him. So when we got home Jeff emailed the mall and told them how upset he was and that it was ridiculous that they would have the mall open until 10 yet Santa was only there until 8 and that they would turn kids away. We were both pretty mad. So luckily I had my OB appt the next morning so we took her with us and stopped on the way back. She was happy. We get home and there is an email from the mall waiting saying how they were sorry that happened and they told us that we get a free family package! So if we're brave enough we may try to go up Saturday and get a both of them on his lap! I'm happy they did something about it, or else we'd be pretty mad. If it wasn't for Kayla being so excited, we would have just said screw it. Here's Kayla's pic!


Anyways, I don't know if I'm going to be able to post again before Christmas, we have a busy schedule for family get togethers so I wanted to wish everyone a very merry Christmas and I hope you all have a safe and wonderful holiday!!!!

26 week belly pic

I'll be back later to post pics of the basement but I thought I would post my 26 week belly pic! I'm looking and feeling huge already and really wondering how much bigger I'm going to get!!! LOL!!!

The basement is partly painted!

Well, the guys finished mudding and sanding on Friday and then Jeff and I went down and put a coat of primer on the walls that night. We stayed up way too late doing it! I was so tired in the morning but it was so nice to see the primer on. Then Saturday we put another coat on and did the bathroom, closets and ceilings and then did a second coat of primer on the walls at night. Then Sunday afternoon we put a coat of the top coat colour on and it looks awesome! We were going to do more Sunday night but we were both way too exhausted. Every muscle in my body hurt and my joints really hurt too, especially my hips from standing up so much. I calculated it and we each painted for 12 hours on the weekend! Here's some pics of it!

And here's Kayla helping to paint the bathroom closet!!!
So cute!! (she's wearing one of my t-shirts!)

We plan on doing some more painting tonight, finish the 2nd coat on the walls and start the basement. Hopefully it will be all done by this weekend! And then Jeff is going to start on the drop ceiling, install the floor and then put the trim and doors on and it will be time to move in!! (Mind you that probably won't be for a couple of months yet!)
