My cake

I just wanted to post this picture of the cake that I spent an entire day making. The hard part was getting it to come out of the pans nicely! Decorating was fun and easy. It was for a baby shower that we did for a friend from church. It was a Betty Crocker cake mix and everyone raved about how good homemade cake was! I even told them the truth - they didn't care. They still think that means it's homemade!

I saw the sun!

The sun was out today - almost all day! Wow. It has literally been weeks of cloud in Winnipeg. Once in awhile the sun peeks out from behind the clouds, but today it stayed out to play almost all day! I was a little annoyed at myself when I realized what a difference it made in my mood today. Why does the weather play such a big role in how I feel? Well, regardless of whether or not it's justified, it put me in a good mood and I enjoyed the beautiful day.

I'm almost done!

Well, my pregnancy is almost over. Hard for me to believe, but true nonetheless. On one hand, it seems like forever ago that we told people we were expecting. On the other hand, it seems like just last week that I was looking at Pregnancy Week By Week and couldn't believe how slow my baby seemed to be growing! Now I'm 2 days away from being full term, and that excites me. All my baby clothes that I will need for the first few weeks are washed and ready, I have bought teeny tiny diapers, new soothers, gripe water, and all the necessary other stuff. I think I'm more nervous about this labour and delivery than I've been about the other two. It's a weird thing, because I think I've prayed more about it than I did with the others. So I'm trying to trust in God, for His timing and His control over my labour and delivery. And I'm trying not to think about postpartum anything. :)

Sledding Day!

Today was a beautiful winter day! We and a few friends went sledding at the Forks. It was pretty cold (about -15C), but we had a lot of fun anyway. Here is my friend Angie with Anna-Christina, Olivia and Danika, who is Rebekah's baby. Angie's 3 boys were along too, of course, but I didn't get a good picture of them. Afterwards we all came to our house for chili and cornmeal muffins. Mmmmm. A fun January day to beat the winter blues!

Me and my love
