Updates...

I apologize for being a bit slack in 'blogging' over the past while. Truth be told, I have been pretty exhausted lately. The morning sickness (or, more accurately, every waking minute of the day sickness) is starting to subside, which is a welcomed change, but the extreme tiredness lingers on. We are just about finished with the first trimester, so things should be picking up soon. Overall, I can't complain really. I've been finishing up things at work (exams, marking, moving things out of my classroom) and everything wraps up on Tuesday. This week has been busy with prom, graduation, and Safe Grad, but that's all done now, and all that is left is packing! We are currently living amidst a sea of boxes- I have no idea where anything is. We get the U-Haul on Monday, and we should be out of here for good on Wednesday! I'm really looking forward to it.
Earlier this month we went to PEI for our anniversary. We rented a cottage in North Rustico and aside from the fact that it rained a lot and I was kind of nauseated the whole trip, we had a good time. Here are some pics...

And baby makes 3!

Well, it's official! We are going to have a baby! We've known about it for a little while, but didn't want to say anything until we had our first ultrasound and got confirmation that everything was going well. That was on Thursday (unfortunately New Brunswick doesn't provide pictures... cheap province that it is...) and it was pretty unbelievable. We are only 9 weeks, and so there wasn't a whole lot to see. A little peanut really, 2 cm long, but the technician was able to show us the little tiny heart beating 160 beats per minute. Apparently this is well within the normal range, and everything is going along swimmingly.
I'm feeling okay, although unbelievably tired. The whole 'morning sickness' thing is a bit of false advertising too, as far as I'm concerned. It's more of an 'all day sickness', which becomes a particular pain at about 8:30 pm. But I can't complain. I just keep munching on rice cakes and crackers, and I do alright.
They told us that our due date is January 18th. It's still kind of surreal, but we are both getting pretty excited about it. Our parents are over the moon- my mom already bought a bunch of baby things. It will be so great that we will be back in Ottawa for the months leading up to and then the actual arrival of the baby.
I'm sure that we will have many updates as the weeks go by, so stay tuned!

New Camera

I got my new Nikon D50 a few weeks ago as a graduation gift from my parents. So far it has proven to be fantastic! I love the flexibility of an SLR. You can get it to do exactly what you want it to do. Here are a few shots I took with it.
