ay jay kay squared. where *stuff* happens.

Well, there is this situation. Currently I am involved in youth ministry at the parish that Andy and I attend, which has a part-time Coordinator of Youth Ministry (CYM). In my practicum course in my program at school, this is my placement for the year.

Just a quick picture update:

also, 2 new ones in the pregnancy & baby gallery :-)

Another whole year has passed by; what craziness!

The two biggest and most exciting events that happened to us this year were moving to Ottawa because Andy got a good job, and me becoming pregnant. Secondary to those two is that I've started my Master's degree, and will have 5 courses finished (mostly) out of 8 courses needed by the time the baby is born. Yay! This has been such a blessed year for us, and we are so thankful that we've been able to share it with a lot of wonderful people.

Wow! where did the year go?! And where did all the updates go?

Apparently we didn't have much to say during November. Except CHOMP!
I still laugh at that one. I love it.

Wow! It's Hallowe'en and November is almost here! Where did the time go? We have been busy, but November will be a super-busy month for us. Well, especially me. Every weekend is nearly booked with something or other.

Boy!
If you haven't already heard the news, we're going to be having a little baby boy! And the due date changed slightly to March 11th.
He's apparently active, but I haven't been able to feel much of his movements. It was so cute - when the sonographer was trying to get a picture of his spine (his back was facing the front of my tummy), he kept trying to bump the device off my tummy by pushing his bum up against the wall of my stomach over and over. So cute! Already a personality!

Quick update - going for my ultrasound on Wednesday at 2pm, want to know if anyone has any guesses on the gender! For those of you who have picky superstitions, there are two pictures of me up in our galleries.

Will update with the official gender, as long as the baby cooperates, on Wednesday evening.

A kick in the crotch,
a kick in the crotch:
dealing with Telus is like
a swift kick in the crotch!

(I'm not sure what the tune I'm using is. Jane says "Farmer in the Dell".)
