So Canadian Baby Photographers came to take pictures of Andrew today. Needless to say, he screamed the entire time, or at least was cranky. Luckily I had some milk in the fridge, so I didn't have to breast feed him in front of the male photographer (can we say uncomfortable?). John was really nice though and managed to get Andy to smile for some shots. Can't wait to see the proofs and decide whether to drop the big bucks on the packages. We do get one print for free, but you know how new parents are....
Oh yes and he is now calm. As soon as John left in fact.
Current mood:  amused

Notes to self:
- When Andrew sleeps most of the day. You are right to think that he will be up part of the night. (You were right to be concerned when he didn't have his normal 4 hour period of being awake cause he slept on Dad the whole day.)
- If you stay up til midnight waiting for him to wake up and feed, you will be tired when he is awake at 4:30am.
- Gas is both loud and annoying.

So I am trying to decide if I should cave and join facebook. I look at Chris' version and I see that my highschool friends are in contact with other highschool friends... It would be nice to see what people are up to. I just don't want to be sucked in and become a "Facebook Whore"
So please comment on your opinion on if I should or shouldn't join....

Andrew is here!
He was born at 4:36 pm PST, August 1, 2008. He weighed 8 lbs, 12 oz, and is 52 cm long (20.5 inches). Labour lasted (from my water breaking to him being born) 9 hours and 6 minutes, which is fast for a first time. Contractions only started at around 12, making it seem even faster.
Email me if you want pictures, or look at Chris' facebook. He's got a lot of hair, and likes boobs just like the typical male. Breastfeeding is interesting...and now he's sucking on his fist. Mom and baby are doing well, just a little sore.

Today I have...
Gotten a marriage license ($135)
Taken Chris to get a trim ($17)
Met with the DJ
Made 47 favors with Mom
Done a 30 min work out ($20 for the week)
Played the lottery ($4)
Fixed the seating chart
It's been a pretty busy day. When we went downtown the first time to get the marriage license, I forgot to bring my passport. I felt and still do feel like an idiot for doing that. I went back later to get the license and Chris went home with James and Dad. He did a bunch of stuff, but that is for him to update on his own lj.
Mom and I went to work out at "Curves." I am not sure if I like it that much. It's not really geared towards my generation. I still feel as though I worked my abs.
There isn't much planned for tomorrow. We meet with the officient and I think that Mom and I are going to pick up some more ribbon for the favors. The only reason we stopped making them was that we ran out.
Hopefully all things go well.

Well I think it's 9. Depends on how you count.
We are down to 105 guests coming to the wedding. That is from 112 that were coming as of last week and the 275 people that we invited. People are getting sick (emergancy surgery), having loved ones get sick (surgery again) and giving no reason. I am trying not to take this too personally. With each person that drops out we have to tweak the seating plan. The stress is making me feel queasy.
Tomorrow we fly to Ottawa. We also pack, clean the house and all sorts of other activities. Tonight Brent is taking us out to dinner at East Side Mario's. I haven't eaten there in some time, since being in Waterloo actually. That's what, like 9 months? I look forward to it. Plus Brent is going to help deliver Ali to Danielle for while we are away.

So yesterday on my way home from work I stopped off at the travel agency to see if they have all of the tickets and everything for our honeymoon. Well they didn't. We leave on Friday for Ottawa and if we don't have them before we leave then how are we getting to Disneyland let alone into the park? Anyway... after sitting while the travel agent was on the phone with Edmonton for 20 minutes this conclusion was reached. The passes will be espress posted to the agency and I will be able to pick them up after work on Thursday. Cutting it close anyone?
Good news. Lisa is coming to Ottawa early to watch me freak out. Hee hee.

Can you hear the stress level mounting?
Chris and I have made a first draft of the seating chart. Should there be anyone that you are not civil with at all, please let me know. I may have to change seating around. Speak now or keep a civil tongue. Please remember that the table numbers do not indicate how important you are to us, nor does which table you are at indicate the same thing.
I still need to find a place to get the "girls'" hair done the day of. I am thinking that it might just be too much trouble to have updos for everyone. The weekend will be super busy for hair salons and we are cutting it close on timing. When all else fails and everyone needs to do their own thing please remember that the make-up appointment is at 12:30 and we need to be at the hall at 3:30pm. At least the "girls" have the bridal room booked so that we are changing there.
The kitten got her stiches taken out this weekend. She is doing fine and she woke me up at a great time this morning. The alarm didn't go off so I thank god for that purring ball of fur. Mind it wasn't the first time that she woke me up so I am only half greatful about it.

I am getting a little better at updating since I am working. Reception when it's not your job can be boring. Yesterday I finished two books; one that I started on Monday and the other that I had started yesterday.
I weight in today at weight watchers. I don't know if I am happy or nervous about it. Last week's went well and I didn't expect it to. Basic math is not easy for some people. Addition. I don't know if I have complained about this online yet. If I have, please feel free to ignore me. Last week I lost 2.8 lbs. This is a little higher than average. Since I had gained the week before it's alright to go down by that much. When calculating the total weight loss since I started, the man forgot to add the 0.8 to my total. This means that I didn't get recognition for the 25.6 lbs that I lost because it was calculated as 24.8. Each 5 lbs loss is celebrated in the meetings and 25 lbs is a special one where you get more than the sticker. It sounds hokey, but it gives you something to strive for.
Alright I will stop complaining. Have a good day everyone!

Yesterday was technically day 1.
She knows how to sleep with the cone on now. She is up and about playing. She does get tired more easily than before, but I think that that has something to do with the pain medication that she is on.
Oh yes and she woke us up at 5:30 to say hi and purr really loudly and lick my nose. Seems normal to me.

I am anxious and worried. I hope that the stiches heal well and that you are not in too much pain. At least you got to come home from the vet early.
Today Ali had a tendonectimy (sp?) and was spayed. Her belly is shaved and she has stiches. We put the collar on so that she couldn't lick herself and tear herself. She then bound all over the place (with two wrapped front paws) trying to remove it. I hope that she doesn't hurt herself. I know that she is in pain. At least I can say that we chose the opperation that would cause her less pain.

So today I sat through a long ceremony to get a peice of paper.
My Mom cried when I walked into the room with the other graduates. I saw her crying and then cried myself. Then I started laughing at something someone said. The whole day was pretty much like that. Start to almost cry and then end up laughing. Yell at people I know when they cross the stage. I graduated early since I am with SJU.
Tired on my wedding dress today as well. It's super pretty. I think that I fit into it better now then when I bought it. Ali got to see it. I forgot how hot a crinoline under a floor length dress can be. I am still happy all around. My grandmother made a comment today about how I keep being so happy and excited and chattering on and on about everything. I hadn't seen my family since Christmas and it was so emotional that I am rambling and I just want to get all the words out.
Thanks to everyone that I saw today. I loved getting the hugs and I missed just seeing and talking to people. THANKS!!!

heeheeheeheehee.....
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE ALI!!!
Mind I kinda have to. Oh well. Tonight is swimming at the ladies swim for an hour and tomorrow I think that ?i will try aquafit again. I did aquafit for the first time yesterday and for the rest of the day I was tired. I didn't think that being in the water could build so much resistance. I guess it's all a matter or your personal strength. I went out for teriaki afterwards. It was so good after working out like that. Usually it's hard for me to eat the whole plate that they serve. This time it wasn't. Mind I only ate half of the serving when I went there then I ate the other half when I got home 1/2hour later.
Last night Chris and I worked on my resume. I think that we have a good version now. I will start sending them out when I get back from Waterloo because I don't want people to start calling when I am out of town.
I am so looking forward to this weekend. I haven't seen people since Christmas. I miss living in Waerloo and attending classes. It's weird that so much of our lives are spent in school. I will just have to get used to this.
