Well moving day is fast approaching for us. So far I am feeling calm and excited. I thought I'd be feeling stressed and sad about leaving our old house. Most boxes are packed, all our utilities will be transferred, the movers are confirmed, we've been to the bank and to the lawyers, and everything looks to be in place for a smooth move (famous last words, right?)
The one downside is that today we will be (gasp!) disconnecting our computer and we will not have our internet hooked up again until August 9th. So it may seem as though I've fallen off the face of the earth for awhile, but I will be back... I promise!

Missed a Few Updates
Well, I guess I don't have the greatest blog etiquette. I've missed a few key updates recently.
First off Andrew and I celebrated our second anniversary on July 17th. This was us two years ago...
This is us now...
For those of you I haven't seen in awhile, I am starting to really look pregnant. Here is a nice shot of my belly. Although that picture was taken AFTER we went out for our anniversary supper.
And we have sold our house. I know I panicked and stressed about it while it was on the market, but looking back the whole process was pretty painless. The new owners move in on August 4 and we plan to be in our new place on the first. I'm sure many tears will be shed when I actually have to move, but I am really looking forward to it.
I made a trip to Regina a few weeks back and had such a good time. I got to spend time with my parents, my brother and sister and her whole family. The little guys are growing up so quickly. I also went shopping with my mom, watched a movie, met my girlfriends for breakfast, and slept alot.
Here is a list of things I've learned over the past few weeks:
1. I married a really great guy. Andrew has really been great over the last few months... cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, packing, dealing with lawyers/realtors/banks/insurance guys etc, all so that I don't have to.
2. I finally found my core and am able to lift my abdomen (from the inside!) while exhaling! This was learned at Pilates - not on my own!
3. Virgin Caesars taste just as good as the real thing.
4. Liquor stores don't sell non-alcoholic wine.
5. As I've been packing, I realize I have alot of stuff.
6. I get annoyed easily, especially if I am asking you to transfer my house alarm (or cable, or phone, or gas, or power) to my new home.

Pilates
I had my first Pilates class tonight and I was really nervous to go... would everyone be really snobby? would everyone be really good at pilates? would everyone wonder if I was even pregnant? Well, I really had nothing to worry about. Nobody knew anybody else there, no one had a lot of Pilates experience, and although I think I'm the least furthest along, only a couple of the girls really 'look' pregnant.
I'm still not sure I understand how to 'raise my abdomen' or 'feel my core', but I really enjoyed the class. I got to meet some really nice moms to be. And most importantly, I feel like I'm doing something good for me and the baby.
I can't wait until next Tuesday!
