These last few weeks have been a blur of working, keeping on top of housework, church, various craft projects, a wedding, getting ready for Christmas (What! Its already November?!) and preparing for baby!
Here are a few updates from life & pregnancy thus far:
-My official position in the OR ended at the end of October, but luckily I will still get a few guaranteed hours in there until I go on maternity leave.
-I was called to teach the 8 year old kids in Primary. I am so excited to be in Primary! I hope my class of all boys will be kind to me! (Funny story about how I found out about my calling...a few weeks ago one of the members of the Primary Presidency called me and said "Welcome to Primary! Can you teach this Sunday?" I had no idea what she was talking about, so I didn't question anything and agreed to teach. Then when a member of the bishopric told me they wanted to extend a calling to me I said "I know, I'll be teaching Primary" the look on their face was priceless!)
-The baby is always moving...and getting stronger. Literally I felt a kick so hard the other night that it woke me up at 4am.
-The baby goes especially crazy when we actually find the time to go to a movie. (At the movie theater is when I first felt the baby kick! I'm taking this as a promising sign that she will be a movie lover like the rest of the Binning family!)
-Travis loves to feel the baby kick and move! Although it is kind of freaky when we can both see my stomach twitching out from the kicking and punching...
-Getting dressed is a chore. I am trying to be that cute pregnant lady...but it is so hard when a lot of clothes just don't seem to fit how I would like them to!
-I get really sad when I drop things, or if my shoe is untied...because that means I have to bend over, which is a chore these days.
-The baby room is about 80%ish done! I keep finding myself wandering in there and wanting this baby to be here! (only 3 more months! Yikes!)
-Travis & I went up to Edmonton so he could write his ACP test for his EMT. The test went well, but it was the longest weekend of my life. I am so grateful for family that let us stay with them! I am also grateful that my husband can change a tire on the side of a busy highway. I am also grateful my husband and I didn't manage to murder one another between our ridiculous car troubles and our 30 hour trip from Edmonton to Medicine Hat. Yikes. Not a fun weekend.
-Still feeling really good. I do get the occasional heartburn...but that's it! Pregnancy is being really kind to me and I am so grateful for that because I know a lot of people have not so fun pregnancies.
Here are some pictures of my ever-growing bump. It seems I forgot week 24....blame it on baby brain. oops.

Halloween 2013: Milkman & Housewife.
Here are a few sneak peeks of inside the baby room. I promise I will show more when it is all done. For now, this will have to suffice:
