We have had a very busy and exciting day!! We started the morning a bit slow and cranky, but it quickly got better!! We bought a new lap top from Best Buy yesterday, but it wasn't working. So the kids and I exchanged it this morning and so far so good with the new one!
When we got home from Best Buy, guess what Emerson did?! She decided to WALK!!!! It was so cute and so exciting! Blake and I were cheering her on and she was so proud of herself, it was adorable!! In the past she'd take a few steps towards a wall, or the coffee table, a push toy, etc, etc and then continue on with a hand on something sturdy. Today she ventured off all on her own and walked all over the place - without holding on!! I have lots of video and will try to post it on Facebook! She's so cute walking, she grins and giggles and stops and claps for herself!! What a girl! We thought she might be 2 by the time she ventured off on her own, thankfully not! She's so sturdy though, her balance is very, very good from all those months of practicing and squatting, etc! No weebling or wobbling! Way to go Em :)
This afternoon we headed out to Stony Plain to talk to Jim at Stony Chrysler about a mini van. Turns out he had pretty much exactly what we were looking for on the lot! We're the proud new owners of a 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan! Yay!! I'm definitely not one of those people who've said, "I'll never drive a mini van!" I've always been more like, "One day I'll drive a mini van!!" Guess that's my practical side!! It's so nice to drive and I LOVE the options! It was a touch screen navigation system and stereo, with a back up cam, Sirus satellite radio, blue tooth for your phone, 2 DVD screens, power everything (all the windows, even the back ones!), it's so luxurious compared to my little, plain car!! Oh, and it's "titanium" ... fancy word for dark grey ;) We will pick it up in a few days!
So that's our exciting day :) Talk to you again soon!!

Placenta Previa
I had a busy afternoon, with a dentist appointment followed by a doctor's appointment! Although, I'm sure Cal's afternoon was a bit busier with the 2 kids!!
I found out at my Dr.'s appointment that I presently have placenta previa. My placenta is low-lying, below my uterus. Apparently, this is no cause for major concern at this point in my pregnancy. I haven't had any bleeding, but I was told to go to the E.R. immediately, should it begin. The Dr. said that typically as the uterus grows the placenta will move into the preferred location of above the uterus and not covering, below or close-to! I will go for an ultrasound in September to see if the placenta has moved at all. If it hasn't, I will continue to go for regular ultrasounds, until around 35 weeks. If at that time it still has not moved, I will be booked for a c-section. So, we will wait and see what happens! I'm not too concerned about it at this point. The thought of a c-section doesn't really bother me (it would have with my first pregnancy!) and as long as I'm not having any bleeding and the baby is healthy, all is good :) The babies heart beat was 148 bpm today and other than the placenta previa, all was well on the ultrasound. I tried not taking the diclectin about a week ago and was so sick, I ended up taking 1 mid-day and then 2 again that night. I only took 1 last night and I lost my lunch right before my dentist appointment. We went out for lunch today, so I'm not sure if it was the food or not taking the diclectin, so I only took 1 again tonight and we'll see what tomorrow brings!
Just wanted to write a quick update on the baby and pregnancy!! Talk to you again soon ;)

Happy Father's Day!
Wishing Cal, my Dad, my brother-in-law's, my father-in-law, and my Grandpa a VERY Happy Father's Day!! I am surrounded by wonderful men ;) Thank you, thank you, thank you to Cal for being such an amazing father. I never knew what kind of Dad you'd be Cal, although I knew you'd be great, but you are beyond great!!! The kids and I are so blessed to have you, we love you so much! Thank you to my Dad for being there for Cal, the kids and I always and for being such a great Grandpa and Dad! We are so lucky to have you and love you very, very much.
We had an awesome weekend at Long Lake Provincial Park. The weather was HOT and we all came home with some color! The heat sure takes a lot out of you though, and combined with less sleep then usual, we're all a little exhausted! The kids had a blast at the beach!! We were a short walk away from the beach and park and scoped out some spots for next year! It is a very nice campground, with 2 beaches, a nice concession/restaurant, paved walking/biking trails, a clean lake, and a rental shop where you can rent boats and water bikes! And it's only 1 hr 20 min from our house :) It would be a great place to spend more then a weekend!
Have a nice week everyone :)
