The First Kick

Last night... I felt a definite kick!

I've felt little movements before this, but this was a definite kick! Jon felt it too! We just sat on the couch watching a movie (What's Eating Gilbert Grape) with Jon's hand on my tummy - in awe of the little beating they were giving us. I've felt one or two kicks today as well. It catches me by surprise every time.

Happy Mother's Day!

The Bach in Melfort

Welcome to Melfort!

The Bachelor on his first day of work.

The Bachelor Suite.

The bed where he will sleep alone.


It's going to be a lonely summer.

My Belly @ 22 weeks

Melfort

Can you find Melfort?
Melfort, though technically a city is not surprisingly very much like a small saskatchewan town.

My first day here - I went to the library and obtained a library card - which I was surprised to find out it is good at any library in north-eastern Saskatchewan. I am currently at said library on the internet!!

My time has been spent sleeping in, unpacking Jon's little bachelor suite, shopping, reading library books and preparing meals. Sometimes I drive Jon to work - but we have discovered that his Bachelor Suite is just a short walk too and from work. He likes the excersise. I have to admit that I have really enjoyed our time away.

I like having my windows open, and not hearing the ring road roaring at all hours of the day and night. I think that I could live here if that is our future...

However, it sounds like Jon will be here for exactly 12 weeks - which is absolutely perfect!!

He will be done at the beginning of August - in plently of time for the twins to arrive.

Another added bonus - Jon has this Friday off - his EDO's have been aligned with his trainer for the summer - and wouldn't you know it - this Friday is an EDO!! Hooray for us! We'll be heading back to Saskatoon tommorrow night.

Well - that is all in the exciting life of Jon & Crystal in Melfort ...

- I think I could get used to this!!

I will post more - with pictures once we get back to Saskatoon!

Flu & Ultra-sounds

The day of the ultra-sound I got sick!! That's right - I am pregnant and I got the flu for three days!

I did drag myself to the 2 hour ultra-sound … which was really uncomfortable. I couldn’t believe how sore my stomach was after the exam(on top of having the flu)!

Our peanuts are growing like singletons apparently. They are 11oz each!
According to Karina, that is like a can of soup!!

We didn’t find out their sex, even though we wanted to. The tech wasn’t 100% sure of their sex because there was a cord between both of their legs and I wanted a definite answer - so we will find out at the next one.

If we aren't able to find out until the day they are born - I’m not going to be disappointed!
I just see benefits to finding out. I will be happy either way.

Anyway - that is the update - for those of you who wanted to know whether of not we found out!
