Third Trimester

I couple weeks ago I hit my third trimester. I am very happy to be closer to my due date, but I am not looking forward to the aches and pains of the last trimester. I am already feeling swollen and sore...and I still have 10 weeks to go! Oh man, what have a gotten myself into.


Here I am at 29 weeks

Zoo day!

This year, we celebrated my birthday by a fun day to the Calgary Zoo. I was SO happy, not only did Doug, Nola and I go, but my parents, my in-laws and Dori came! I was SO happy to have my family with me :) And of course, Nola was in heaven. The WHOLE time, either Grandpa (my Dad) or Papa (Doug's Dad) carried her around and tended to her every 'ooh' and 'ahh'. She was so good, although she wanted nothing to do with either Doug or I. We would try to pick her up and she would kick, scream and reach for the closest Grandad! Haha, bless her.













Nola's first hair cut :)

On July 8th, at exactly 16 months old, little Miss Nola Mae got her first haircut! I'll admit, she should have gotten a haircut much earlier, but I just didn't have the heart. The little pony tail on top of her head was her trade mark! I could just go and cut it off?!?! But alas, the time came and the pony tail went. At first, she looked so weird to us! Doug kept saying "It's so weird...she doesn't look like Nola!" But, as you can tell from the photos, she looks adorable!

We took her to Beaners Fun Cuts for Kids and she was pretty stoked about it. She got to sit in a pink and purple jeep and the hair dresser blew bubbles for her. It was a pretty sweet set up!

Well here she is, my big little girl!

Cabin time!

Over Canada Day long weekend, we went out to my family cabin at Moyie Lake in BC. We had a BLAST!! Nola was a dream - she played out in the dirt, had great naps and swam at the beach! We went to Fort Steele for the Canada Day festivities and met up with Clint, Nickie, Keith and Kori. It was fun, but boy was it hot!! Mind you, I am always hot, so I guess I'm a little biased. For the remainder of the weekend, so went to the lake, relaxed around the fire and went for lots of nature walks. It was the perfect trip :)
