18 months, 25 weeks and a nice visit

Well, to start off with we had a nice visit in Thunder Bay. The drive wasn't too bad although it didn't go quite as planned. We left at 3am and expected the kids to stay sleeping, but they didn't. They stayed up for about 1 1/2 hours and then slept for 1 hour and then were up almost all of the rest of the day, which was 14 hours of travel. I think they had an hour nap in the middle, but the beginning was not what we expected. Thank goodness for dvd players though! I actually think it worked better to leave at 8pm in the evening and drive through the night(which we did last year one time). It's more tiring for us, but they get a better sleep overall and don't get so bored. Oh well. Besides that the traveling was fine. We made a couple of stops to let them play a bit and continued on our way.
We had a nice visit with D's family. The kids had fun with their grandparents It was also so nice to catch up with friends and D was even able to visit a few times one on one with some guys which was a huge blessing. It's too bad he couldn't do that more often with them. I am so thankful because I love getting together with the wives and the kids had fun playing with all of the kids. And there were quite a few!
D's brothers wedding was good. Big M was a ring bearer and did a really great job walking down the aisle. I was so proud of him it actually brought tears to my eyes. Him and the other boy walked together with the boys mom(who was the matron of honour).
So, now little M is 18 months old, it's hard to believe that this age has already come. She is such a little sweetheart and determined as ever. She's starting to say more words and I'm looking forward to the next few months when that will really pick up.
And now I am 25 weeks along in my pregnancy, which I think is 5 1/2 months. It's strange to think that I only have 3 full months left before the baby is here. I'm starting to look forward to it as I feel the baby more. I'm feeling pretty good and don't really have any aches and pains yet. I have one more meeting with a doctor before I am going to make my decision on who my doctor will be. Right now I think I have one that I would choose so we'll see what this next appointment is like.
Anyways, I should probably go. I just wanted to let everyone know that we are back in Saskatoon. It is so nice to be home and the kids are loving it so far too.
