41 weeks of pregnancy

One week over due! Holy cow I am so ready for this baby to come out. Lots of little contractions but nothing too big. I have an ultra sound booked for monday so depending on how that goes I will be induced some time this week! At least there is an end in sight now!!
We were at my parents place the other day and got bored so we took some pictures of us with the baby belly.... i am going to put them all up on face book soon but these are a couple of them.
Hopefully the next post will be full of pictures of the new baby podeszwa!!! Wish me luck!

Happy Valentines Day!

Great Valentines Day for us here, I woke up and Davis was allready gone for school but there were these great roses waiting for me on the table along with some other tasty treats!
I made Indian food for dinner and it was so good! we had planned on going to a movie also but we got to the theatre and there was a line up going outside and down the side walk, we didnt feel like waiting out side for 30 minutes in the cold so we came back home and we are going to go another time instead.

This is the card that I made for Davis, along with his gift of favorite things, this is our third Valentines Day together and it has gone by so fast! We still cant believe that we have been together that long!

No baby yet! only 3 more days until my due date, we are definetly getting excited for this baby to come!!

It's almost baby time!

38 weeks down, 2 more to go!!

It is down to crunch time here in our little family! We have everything we need for new baby Podeszwa, we just have to get it all set up and ready for use! We are so excited for this baby to come out but I am also looking forward to having the next 2 weeks be all about relaxing, naps, bubble baths and pretty much just spoiling my self!

I feel so blessed, I have really had a great pregnancy (other than the first few months of sickness all the time) I do have trouble sleeping sometimes, and Im slightly uncomfortable some days but other than that I dont have any back problems or swelling etc. AND NO STRETCH MARKS!!! (call me vain but that might be the best one!)

Davis has been the absolute BEST husband ever through this whole thing, he gives me a foot rub every night and takes such good care of me! Thanks babes! Hope all you girls have a great man like him!!

We will definetly update as we get closer and after the baby comes!

Baby shower!

We just had a baby shower at JJs place on saturday! It was so much fun, and really got me excited for buying more baby stuff after the little "rib kicker" is born ! There were lots of pictures taken but in most of them I have a really weird look on my face for some reason ... i always do that, which makes me wonder if I always have a strange look on my face or is it only when I know a camera is pointing at me? oh well. So glad so many of you could come and for anyone who didnt come we are going to have another baby party after the baby is born! A "zero birthday" if you will. so you are all definetly invited to come to that and come meet the baby.

Only 3 more weeks until the baby is due and I really cant wait to see this kid! Some days I think its a boy and other days I think its a girl, but most days I really have no idea. I am also excited to see wether it will look more white or more polynesian .. should be interesting!

Also a question for the girls with new babys ... I am getting my stuff ready for the 'hospital bag' do you guys have any suggestions about what to put in there? I have all the basic stuff that i will need but just from experiance what would you girls suggest?

Good-bye 2007 ** Hello 2008 !!

Hope Everyone had a great Holiday! We are glad we got to see so many of you while you were here! Wish we could see you all more often!

2007 was great for us! new baby in the tummy for me! We moved back to Halifax and got all settled with a new apartment and new jobs! Back to school for Davis at Dalhousie and so much more fun stuff! We have alot to look forward to this coming year, obviously the most exciting being the baby coming in February!

New Years Eve at Dougs was great, we had fun playing games, and even though the girls totally CREAMED the guys in settlers, overall the guys won the night and now the girls have to cook supper for the guys.... really its probably better that way .... Davis is a pretty good cook, but Im not so sure about the rest of them... ;) just kidding guys.

Well happy new year everyone! Hope you all had as great a year as we did!!

December update!

Wow alot has gone on this month, I'll try to give the readers digest version.....

We had our "office party" which consisted of Davis and I, Rick and Doreen ( Davis and I both work for the Stuarts at their home based buissness) SO they took us to Bomerangs for dinner, sooo tasty, yum yum, it was great, we ate WAY too much food but we had a good time. They also gave us a nice healthy $200 CHristmas bonus.... holy cow! Best boss EVER!

We also bought their big screen TV because they bought a plasma TV for CHristmas so we have a new big screen at our place! SWEET!


Davis turned the big 29 on the 20th. There was a storm that same day so we didnt get to do everything we wanted to do, but we still had a good time anyway! Lots of seafood and cake and games!

We were in the Nativity Pageant this year... it was actually alot of fun, it really helped us to get into the Christmas Spirit and do a little bit of service. It has been a tradition in my family to go and see the pageant every christmas eve, so it was really speacial for us to be involved this year. Hope everyone got to come see it!




Christmas was Amazing as usual! Davis and I made out like a couple of bandits in the gift department! lots of baby stuff that we needed, and also some fun stuff that we probably didnt need but is still fun to have! We have definetly been so blessed to have what we do and we are very gratful for it, especially this time of year!



We were supposed to have a big Smith estended family Christmas bash on the 27th , but because of some storm that was supposedly coming it got postponed :( so sad, I was really looking forward to it, I guess I can wait until Jan 1st :(


We are getting all reved up for New Years and we are very excited to have Kristiane and Claudine home for the holidays! Love you guys!


Pregnancy wise, I have started having Braxton Hicks contractions... some not painful at all, some kind of uncomfortable, and one lovely afternoon they were full of painful ones... not fun. But everything is fine, baby is still doing good in there. I still have another month and a half until I am due.


Anyway we hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and Hope to see you all sometime over the holidays! call us anytime to come hang out!

CHRISTMAS TIME IS HERE !!!!!

We actually put up this tree on Dec 1st but I just havent gotten around to posting the picture yet, but there is our lovely tree!!! I came to the realization that walmart has great decorations but Crappy tree toppers.... seriously the tackiest things ever!! They had a few nice toppers but none that matched the decorations i had picked out for the tree..... my trees have to match. So if anyone sees a nice gold star anywhere let me know!!!!

Other than that, life here in the Podeszwa house is good! Davis is almost done his exams, 1 more to go!! woohooo! I am getting bigger by the day, I almost died when the nurse weighed me last week, I wont even say how much it is, but I almost wanted to take my shoes off and make her weigh me again. So sad. We are excited for the pageant!! Davis saw it last year for the first time and he loved it! So we are glad to be a part of it! Hope everyone can come and see it!!

Also Davis' birthday is next week, we are going to be doing something on the 20th, not sure quite what exactly yet but we will let you know!! Hopefully everyone can come enjoy some good food, folks & fun!!!

14 days till Christmas!!!!
