Well, I should have called this one "I DID IT". Yes, Maeve put her pants on all by herself! She was very proud. They are of course on backwards but with today's fashion, who would notice? Unfortunately she hasn't figured out which item goes on first so she is commando. I must run now to go correct the situation before she pees on my rug! Happy tuesday everyone. Sorry for the lack of blogging!

sweet
Could she be any sweeter?
Today we dropped Auntie Caca off and hit lougheed mall. Well, mostly we hit walmart after Maeve woke up! As I was pushing Maeve in her stroller I had a particularily nasty bout with Braxton Hicks and some nice lady stopped to ask me if I needed help. It was really nice of her to ask but boy was I embarassed!
I picked up some tres cute jammies for our hospital stay. The midwife suggested I pack my baby having bag sooner as opposed to later. Little Miss baby #2 is very low and almost engaged. I'm hoping she is comfy because I'm not ready to have her out just yet!
Anyway, tonight is my party with the girls and I'm very excited. I'm extra excited that Danica will be coming with me! My midwife also gave me the all clear for a beer! Woohooo! Hope everyone has a great thursday!

ringaround
My girl sure likes old skool fisher price toys. Each of the little people you see before her has a name and they enjoy playing ring around the rosie! To some of my family members that may notice Maeve is wearing pants her cousin gave her. They are for ages 6 -12 months! Since Maeve doesn't wear a diaper anymore she can stay in clothes for alot longer!
Today we have a Midwife appt. Its just a short and sweet one so I'm not expecting anything exciting. I will tell them to make sure to clear Sept 17 as this is when my Mom feels certain baby #2 will make her appearance! After midwifing I hope to hit the farmers market for the last of the blueberries! Hope you all have a very lovely day!

Shoes glorious shoes!
Hot or Not? I bought these shoes when I went to Bellingham this past weekend. I think they are totally cute. Sadly, Michael, Erin and Sara alll hate them! Let me know where you weigh in on the matter. I'm sure someone out there has to like them!!
Today we had a rough start. After not napping yesterday, Maeve went to bed quite early and as a result was UP quite early! Maeve and I drove Michael to work and then continued on to see our pals Angela and Milo. Angela is doing good despite her rapidly approaching due date. Milo was as adorable as ever. Maeve of course paid neither of them any mind and went straight for the cats. Poor cats were hugged and tea'd to death! Thank goodness they put up with all the Maeve love!
Don't forget to vote hot or not in the comment section! I wont be offended if they are overwhelmingly NOT, I will still wear them even so!

daddynpizza
Talk about a fantastic day! Erin, Sara and I drove to Bellingham to shop til we dropped at Target. Wow, how much I miss that store! It was great! We shopped, ate, and shopped some more! Auntie Sara bought Maeve a new orange kitten and some sweet Dora big girl panties! I bought Maeve a fantastic Dora placemat and some other Dora related materials that will be given out at a later date! Yes thats right, Maeve has a big big birthday coming up! Michael and I are still in negotiations on how to celebrate such a fantastic event. My mother seems to thinks that baby #2 will be making her appearance Sept 17 so we just may push back Maeve's party until we have the baby. Who knows, I'm sure one of you will tell her how we fanangled her 2birthday to best suit our needs, I'll send you her therapist bill then!
Maeve and Michael seemed to have had a great day without me. boo! Michael documented their day so I didn't miss out too much though! They hit false creek, the planetarium and some sort of pizza place! Maeve had no accidents, napped well and was just sitting down to a delicious dinner Daddy had cooked when I got back from Bellingham. I think Daddy and Maeve are a pretty good team!
Well thats it for me today. I think my friend Angela may just be having her baby today. I talked to her last night and she sounded great. We had promised to speak today but I called her an no answer. I assume that she was *just* a little busy to come to the phone! Hopefully I'm right! I hope she has a safe and speedy delivery of her baby boy! I have my fingers crossed for her! ** Update** Angela has not had the baby nor is she anytime soon. boo... but she is doing great and we shall visit her tomorrow! I'll try to get you all a picture so you can see how well this woman is functioning with a big giant belly and a active two 1/2 year old!

chillin
Hi kids!
I have to recycle a picture from the weekend because I didn't get any yesterday and hopefully Maeve and I will be on our way early today. Not really sure where we are going, but we are going somewhere! I called Maeve's buddy Milo's Mommy to see what she was up to and at 37plus weeks the poor honey can't be up to too much! At least the weather has cooled down a bit! Milo and fam are busy preparing for the home birth of Milo's little brother.
I was thinking today might be a good day to hit the vancouver aquarium. I'm going to wait a bit and give Hilary and Roan a call before heading out. I know its something they like to do. Otherwise I can always fall back on wednesday farmer's market day! I think I'll save that for this afternoon tho!
So Maeve the little bugger didn't have a nap yesterday, went to bed at 8:30 and slept all the way through til 7:30. Maybe we'll try no nap today! I doubt that will work tho since she was up so early! Maybe we might have to move to napping every second day! Nothing more exciting so I'm going to go pack our lunches! Have a good wednesday!

angelbaby
Don't let her angelic appearance fool you. That is the face of a child who has NOT napped and has peed on the floor I can't count how many times! Little bugger! Currently her hair is so floppy, but so adorable it can only be contained with ribbons, braids or pony tails! She doesn't seem to be doing worse for wear with no nap, its just me who is frazzled! At least the heat has let up a bit here! Today I think we are pretty much home bound. We had a pretty bumpy ride this morning and I've been advised to take it easy. Soo, no park for Maeve just our beautiful backyard!

braids
Ok, any men that read this will be bored crosseyed today, for them I've included a photo of pregnant Auntie Sara.
Today I french braided a bit of Maeve's hair. It might be hard to see in the picture but what a milestone for me. When my sister Danica and I were little my Mom always french braided our hair. I honestly couldn't wait until Maeve's hair was french braid-able! Technically it isn't complete but it keeps the frothy bits of long curly hair out of her eyes! Maeve of course looks gorgeous even with the frothiest of hair but this made her look just a little bit more grown up to me. Wahhh my baby isn't going to be a baby much longer!!
Ok, enough about hair! On sunday we went to Granville Island water park with Aunties Erin and Sara. Maeve being the "kitten" she is didn't seem to enjoy the waterpark at all. Well, she did like the puddles until she got a full on face splash. She didn't mind the sprinklers if I was holding her. She did draw offense at running through the sprinkler with an Auntie and crashing into an unsuspecting toddler. Great, years of therapy to repair that one! haha just teasing! After the waterpark we had lunch and then took Maeve home to nap. I napped more than Maeve but no biggy! After nap Daddy filled up the pool and we all played in the pool until dinner! What a weekend! I can't believe that soon we'll have 2 girls to have all this fun with!

swim
As per usual Maeve has no shortage of potential boyfriends. This is Logan McDougall, he is 2 days older than Maeve. Maeve and Logan first became pals in California. They had lots of fun learning how to walk together and playing at Northgate Mall! Logan will be a big brother soon too. Gen, his Mommy, is due in January. Just like Auntie Sara!
Yesterday the BBQ was great fun. There were 3 boys from the Fast family, 3 boys from the Pelle family, 1 boy of the McDougalls, Maeve and 1 Pelle girl Emily. It was really nice to hang out with everyone this weekend. I hadn't seen the Pelle's in almost a year.While in sunny CA the Pelle brood and I had a standing weekly date, then nothing for a year! Thankfully the Pelle's have moved closer to civilization and we'll be able to rope Leslie in for some wild and crazy ladies nights! Crazy Craig McEwen has invited us to a waterpark this am so we might just do that. It was 34degrees yesterday 93degrees to any american's reading this! It was hot!!

slurp
Mmmmm tasty pool water. Delicious! After a massive naptime war Maeve woke up a happy little pink kitten. I am a little worse for wear but happy the weather is so nice! Today we filled up Maeve's pool and splashed around before she decided drinking the pool water was a good idea. Gross. As I watch her drink it I can't get rid of the memory of what garden hose water tastes like! Thankfully we know now what we didn't know then and bought the hose that is safe to drink from. Blech.. think of all that lead that was leached into our hose water back in the good ole days! Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. Sorry my blogging has been lacking lately. I've been lazy! I'll try to keep up! I will point out that you all are lazy in the posting a comment department so there! Anyway, have fun these last few weekends of summer!

Hi gang,
Hope everyone is well. No picture today though, sorry! Wednesday was a bit of a bust as far as blogging goes too!
Wednesday we had a midwife appt. Baby #2 is doing well. Good heartbeat and very reactive (read this to mean she kicked our midwife). The midwife says that the baby is very low, although not engaged in my pelvis it is a good sign for us because Maeve very stubbornly refused to drop! After midwifing we hit the farmer's market and Riley park with Roan and Hilary.
Thursday we drove Daddy to work and then headed over to play with Milo and Angela. Poor Angela looks about ready to burst! She is 37 and a bit weeks and looks fantastic, but ready to pop! I bet Angela will have her second baby boy sooner rather than later. Maeve played with Milo and made sure that Milo's kitty cats had enough mustard sandwiches and coffee! Go figure, what a little nut she is! Now we are home and Maeve is napping. I'm going to attempt to make blueberry muffins. I know, I'm amazing! I'll try to get pictures tomorrow! This weekend we are hitting a BBQ out in Mission. I'm sure we'll be able to get one or two interesting shots! ta everyone! Happy thursday!!

shoes
Thems some big shoes to fill! Bad news, it turns out Maeve will most likely share the same shoe/bag fetish that affects her poor Auntie Erin. Maeve enjoys wearing everyone's shoes. She particularily likes flip flops. She wedges the toe part between her fat little piggies and basically skiis in them.. too funny.

run
Run run run just as fast as you can, you can't catch me I'm the gingerbread... er.. man?
Ha ha, we had a lovely weekend. Pretty low key to say the least. Sunday we got lots of cleanup done in the am, napped and then went to Douglas park where Michael and I took turns chasing our pretty pink princess. Auntie Erin came to our house for dinner and I certainly made her work for it! Since I cracked out all Maeve's "baby" stuff saturday night, I needed a place to put it all. Enter poor Auntie and Daddy. Dressers were moved, furniture was shuffled, change tables were rearranged and shelves were put up. We are gearing up for this baby's arrival whenever she chooses to arrive that is! Today we are going to attempt a schedule change. Maeve has been napping from 3 - 6 and its throwing my game way off! Not to mention that she isn't tired for 9pm bedtime if she is up at 6! So, today Daddy woke up with Maeve at7:30 and let Mommy sleep until 8:30. Today we WILL nap earlier than 3! Have a great Monday, wish me luck on the scheduling plans!

splash
What nice weather we are having here in sunny Vancouver! This picture is actually from last weekend when we went to visit Great Granny Grace in Richmond. They have a really great park that is split up in two. There is a super cool big kid park and an even cooler toddler park!
Today we hit Trout Lake Farmer's Market for some much needed blueberries, nectarines and some delicious coho salmon! Michael is filling up Maeve's pool and I think they are going to sit in there and splash for the rest of the day. As for me, I'm aiming to nap at some point. I'll let you know if it actually happens or not! I also have to pull out all Maeve's old baby stuff and make a list to see what we need! I can't believe there are only 7 weeks left! Time flies when you are making a baby! I guess we'll have to see if I feel the same way in 5 weeks!

owie
Owie! Last night Maeve was out burning off some energy and it looks like she burnt out a little too much. Crash bang boom my poor little baby's head hit the sidewalk. Wahhhhhhh said Maeve, Wahhhhh said Mommy! So, we cleaned her up, iced her up, applied polysporin and Daddy whipped up this amazing bandaid! Sorry for no bloggin this week, my Mom and best friend Jacqui were here for the week! It was great!

MaeveKenny
What a fantastic day! Yesterday we were invited out to good 'ole Kenny's place to hang out for the afternoon! We had a great time! Maeve met up with some cool kids, TJ (9) and Trent (11?). Maeve of course immediately fell in love with TJ who very obligingly played soccer with her. Maeve, Michael, TJ and Trent played hide and seek in the very tall grass. Michael of course nearly scared the crap out of poor TJ!! Maeve loved everything about Kenny and Shannon's place; the dogs (not at first but at the end), the cat, the fish.. the dirt.. the lawnchairs.. she pretty much had a blast! Kenny made a delicious dinner and then took Maeve over to see the horses. I don't think there was anything that Kenny could have done to impress Maeve more! She loved the horses and apparently even got to see a cow too!! Today we were supposed to have Auntie CaCa over but instead she'll come tomorrow with my Mom and Granny Jack. Instead we will be heading out to Richmond to surprise Grandpa and see Great Granny Grace! Happy long weekend!
