One last post before our little family of 3 turns into a family of 4. Note worthy events in our lives for the month of March included Curtis' 32nd birthday on the 8th, and Elle's 2nd birthday on the 27th. I also tackled a very lengthy TO DO list of items before baby comes. Only a couple things left to do so I am feeling almost ready for baby. Everyone keeps telling me that because I am not ready for baby to come yet the baby is bound to arrive early before my list is completely checked off! We will see. I figure I have a good week at least left to go, so plenty of time. We are starting to get really excited and anxious to know if the baby is a girl or boy.
For Curtis' birthday we had a family dinner and I was lucky enough to get to escort Curtis to a Flames game, a gift from his Dad. I decided after the game that it was going to be my last while pregnant. Those lines to the washroom are way too long and those stairs seem extra steep. We had a great time though.
We had a couple of days childless while Elle was enjoying a sleepover at her Nana's this month. We decided to take advantage of that time and went out for dinner to the Japanese Village my favorite, and we also went to the movies, something that we do very rarely since Elle joined us. It was really great to just have some time for the two of us before baby comes.
Elle was spoiled on her birthday and enjoyed the balloons and presents and attention. We had a smaller gathering of just close family which was nice and not as overwhelming for her as her first birthday. We had a delicious birthday cake made by my cousin who is taking the baking course at SAIT. Thankfully this year Elle can use a fork, and we didn't have as much cleanup.
The slideshow has some birthday pics and other fun times mostly outdoor,that we had in March. Elle really loves to be outside as much as possible, I can rarely distract her from wanting to stay outside on the short walk from the car to the the house. All day today she was out in the back garden with her pail and shovel helping Dad work on the yard. She is such a fun and happy little helper.
We can't wait to update you on the excitement to come this month as we wait for baby to arrive, so we will keep you posted.
