so we heard the baby's heartbeat this week. it was very cool. its funny, because in a way i don't really 'feel' pregnant. i mean i feel like crap all right. but other than that it doesn't seem real. but there inside me is this little heart beating so strongly. its so surreal and amazing.
i've been out today enjoying the amazing weather we are having. i want to suck it all in. and i just had to look up whitehorse - it is 0 there today. Here the flowers are coming up! i love it. i even got a bit of sun today. (sitting in my own backyard!) god it has been an amazing year.

more progress
even though he had a very bad start to his work day yesterday, danny was still able to get home a couple of hours early and we got rid of more crap! we took a whole load to value village (we tried to go to the salvation army - but the whole building was gone!)
we got a lot done this weekend and it feels really good. danny even got out and raked all the old dead leaves off of out front lawn. and someone must have cleaned up the giant pile of dog crap that we found on our front lawn when things started to thaw - because i'm pretty sure it was gone (thank god becasue it was frigging gross).
now i just want to do some cleaning around the house and it will feel a lot better in here.

hide the cucumber
so i had a mini breakdown this week. i'm sorry to anyone who got stuck with me that day (paula, danny, lisa... the list goes on)
i decided to make myself a nice healthy salad for lunch to take to work on friday. when it came time to put the veggies away, the cucumber was missing. it was downhill from there. no one thought it was as big a deal as i did that there was a half a cucumber rotting away somewhere in my house, but i felt like i was losing my mind (my mother has since informed me that it is probably the case - she claims she was fine before she had kids!)
i mean, how do you lose a frigging cucumber? (this was repeated many times on friday, followed by hysterical laughing or crying or sometimes both.)
i did eventually find it (thank god) under the couch in the living room. i felt victorious and danny thought i was nuts (which apparently i am.)
yesterday we did some much needed purging in the house. mom came over and we cleaned out the basement. after a bit of drama we filled my brothers trailer til it was overflowing. it makes me happy to look at. we've had crap in the driveway, ont the front porch and in the basement all winter, leftover from my mom's 'shotgun move'.
so how we need to take a load to the sally ann or value village and things will feel a lot better in the house. if i can sucker someone into helping me, i'm going to try to get it done today. yesterday mom helped us moved some stuff upstairs into what will be the baby's room and with the rest of the crap gone we'll be able to move some of the other baby things downstairs and we'll get our dining room back!

chaos
the house is in a state of total chaos right now. the amazing people in my life keep donating baby stuff to us so our house is in a state of perpetual sorting and relocating.
what really needs to be done the most are the spare room upstairs and the basement. so that we would actually have somewhere to store this stuff instead of having it scattered all through our living area - but we're doing what we can. i'm so tired that i haven't been up to much and danny has been amazing helping to take over some of my share of the work around here. thank god or we'd be in real trouble.
the last couple of days have been a strange glimpse into the future though. last night i found myself washing a load of baby things and we have tiny little shoes strewn across the living room. i can already picture myself harassing some little person to put them away. which just seems too strange.
