Week 23: June
16th– June 22nd : Baby is the size of……AN EAR OF CORN (8.5 inches and 1.5 lbs)
I was really bad and forgot to take a belly shotL oops! A picture of the
painted nursery will have to do. At first I was scared that the colour we chose
was too blue but after a couple of days of drying it turned into the perfect
combo of blue and mint and I absolutely love the way it is looking. I think
this colour makes the nursery cheery and bright and once the rest of the
furniture and décor are in I think we will have a hit!
This week was an eventful one. The work week started off
with a bang….literally. We had an explosion in our lab that was quite scary.
Thankfully, no one was hurt and all that was lost was a lot of equipment and
some dishes. I’m sure most people know from watching the news that Southern
Alberta had some serious flooding this week as well. We got about 2 months of
rain inside of 48 hours which led to the Bow river flooding the city. The
devastation has been awful and it is so sad to hear of all of the families
losing their homes and being displaced. Thankfully ALL of the Kaiser’s live in
the far NW of the city and stayed high and dry. A midst all of the sadness, I
like to look for the silver lining, and mine was that the University was closed
on Friday, Monday and Tuesday. This ended up giving me a 5 day weekend and
seeing that we weren’t supposed to leave our homes it was the perfect time to
put my feet up and do a whole lot of relaxing J
Something I don’t do very often and I felt great after!

up the nursery…..I can feel the nesting urges coming on strong.
Week 24: June
23rd– June 29th : Baby is the size of……AN EGGPLANT (9 inches (crown to rump aka
head to bum) and 1.7 lbs)
As mentioned last week, this week kicked off with 2 days of
work. It was glorious! And then reality hit…..since this week was supposed to
be the week I gave my students their finals, work has been bonkers. So I got 2
days off but then the 3 days I was at work felt like 8 days crammed into 3
trying to re-organize everything and keep the students happy, which is no easy
feat! The best part of this week was ending off with another long weekend to
celebrate Canada Day! Chris and I are pretty excited about this since we have
been out of the country and haven’t celebrated in a long time J Bring on the bbq’s!!!
How far along: 24
weeks
Total weight gain: I’m
guessing about 14lbs because at this point I’m supposed to be gaining a pound a
week
Stretch marks: none
to report. PHEW!
Sleep: Great!
Miss anything? The
comfort of my normal body haha
Movement: A lot.
This little lady is a little sassy too and now whenever Chris talks to my belly
she stops moving. As soon as he takes his hand away she starts kicking up a
storm today. She is already giving her Daddy a hard time and I love it J
Anything making you
queasy or sick: having an appetite and eating is the last thing I need to worry
about! I want to eat everything in sight!
Have you started to
show? Feeling more large and in charge every day
Gender prediction:
Little Miss
Wedding rings on or
off? On
Happy or Moody: Happy!
Looking forward to? Seeing
my parents and hosting them for Stampede!!!
We hope every one had a wonderful Canada Day weekend
xoxo
