1. Took my little brother & sister to Build-a-Bear on the weekend, and DAMN it was fun! I think part of what made the experience so great was that they are very sweet, grateful kids. Plus - my 27 year old brother came along and decided to make a bear too (they really suck you in with all the cute displays and the hundreds of choices). So he had to jump up and down and do the whole 'heart' ritual - hilarious (he even gave his bear a 'shower'). He made a Batman Beaver named Bruce Wayne.
2. This week marks the halfway point - 4 and a half months pregnant. I'm pretty sure the baby had a bit of a growth spurt this week. When I'm lying down in bed, I'm constantly feeling my little 'bump'. I keep grabbing Warren's hand and making him feel it, but he usually just gives me a courtesy 'ohhh...yaaa...neat'. This time I grabbed it and said 'feel this!' and I got a more sincere 'holy crap!' in response. There's definitely someone growing in there. Of course when I'm standing it's still hardly noticeable - but not for long I'm sure!
3. One thing on the to do list this weekend: REMOVE SECURITY BARS FROM BASEMENT WINDOWS. My heart breaks for the families of those 3 young people who died this week in a basement fire.
4. Out of NOWHERE, my workplace has banned 'blogs' at the office. I can no longer read my favorite blogs from work. This puts me in a very bad mood, but at the same makes me look forward to my mat leave even more (as if I needed another reason to look forward to it)!
5. Went to my first Flames game in at least 10 years last night (thanks again Tiff & Rob!). I quite enjoyed it and Warren & I both thought about what a fun experience it would be for a kid - ONLY if the Flames scored a lot. I kept wanting them to score - not to win - but just so that those huge flames would shoot out from the JumboTron and the buzzers would go and the stadium screens would flash red and the crowd would go nuts. So fun!

LOVE Build-A-Bear. (We have about 10 of them in our house! And they send me e-mails about special offer.) It so fun for the kids, and the kids at heart. ;-)
LOVE the baby bump. Before you know, you will be blogging about how friggin' big it is. :-)
HATE it when you have to choose between security and fire safety. I choose life.
HATE it when things are banned.
LOVE Flames games. Again, so fun for kids and kids at heart.
Great post, sounds like a good week!
Yay for the baby bump!! Enjoy how small it is now...because eventually it WILL be in the way and you won't be able to tie your own shoes. :)
Just wait! When you're on mat leave you'll discover 100 things you love about it that you didn't think of....like not having to get ready in the morning (babies don't care if you have bedhead), or grocery shopping on a random Tuesday afternoon when there is nobody in the store, not having to deal with traffic or the crowds on public transit....and the list goes on and on.
I will be curious to find out what part of working you miss ;-)
