May is turning out to be much hotter than I had anticipated. Since last Tuesday it's been hot and humid every day, kids are already swimming in the lake! I had expected that the end of June and the beginning of July might be a little unbearable for me, but it's only May and my ankles and feet are so swollen they've become cankles. Ew. Luckily I officially started my Matenity leave at 5:00 pm on May 19th so I can relax in the shade and have a nap whenever I get sleepy. I've been cooking up a storm lately so I can freeze meals and take some of the burden off of us in the kitchen once the baby arrives. The freezer is packed, there's *almost* not enough room for my ice cream!
The baby is doing great according to my O.B. He says it's still upright (hence why I look so big) and it's heart beat is strong. They say babies start to slow down in movement as they start to run out of room but not this kid, it's as active as ever. We're watching my tummy and playing the "was that a foot or an elbow?" game. I've been cleared for travelling from my doctor so I'm going to be heading up to Ottawa on June 5th for the week. Hopefully Jason will be alright all by his lonesome.
Speaking of Jason, he recently wrote a test and had an interview for a new position at work and we found out the other day he got the job! I'm so proud of him, you should of seen how thick the 3 binders of material he had to study were! The new job doesn't start until December which leaves Jason with time in the summer to take a month of paternity leave so we can travel around and everyone can meet the baby. It also means that I can stay home and take care of the baby as long as I like which is a dream come true for us.
So that's the happenings in Kincardine right now. Time for some ice cream!
