proud day......

so i have two people to be proud of today.......my hubby and my big girl casey.......

steve pulled nomination papers for ward 2 councillor this morning - his first official steps of his political career......he was really anxious and slept awful last night, but all went great this morning when we met with the city clerk and he got the paperwork he needed........now we need at least 50 signatures and to return them to city hall in order to offically be on the ballot.......

and i had to go to an impromptu dr appt this morning - had some dampness i wanted to make sure wasn't amniotic fluid and have been super crampy the last few days so called dr and they asked me to come in.......dropped molly off with my MIL, but she didn't look like she was feeling super well today so i took casey with me........well the appt that i thought was going to take 15 min ended up taking 1 1/2 hours and casey was ridiculously awesome for the entire thing.......even through a 20 min non-stress test when i couldn't move because i was hooked up to a baby monitor thingy.......of course i need to thank the inventors of mike & ikes and heart-shaped strawberry frosted donuts with sprinkles for some of her good behavior, but otherwise, it was all my big girl.......

psychoville......

in case anyone is wondering why i called this blog psychoville, here's a sample "perdios to-do list":
- continue cleaning/decluttering/updating our house
- sell our house
- buy another bigger house
- pack all our stuff and move into said bigger house
- run a ward councillor campaign
- win election
- have baby #3
- keep kids 1 & 2 happy and healthy
- steve to study for PE exam
- steve to take PE exam
- steve to pass PE exam
- steve to continue to work his full time engineering job

=)......ah yes, i do remember vaguely being bored sometime about 12 years or so ago........

early?.....

so i went to my OB appt yesterday and got some news that i'm taking to be good news.......
my midwife was surprised at how far down the baby's head was at this point (34 weeks, 3 days) - she seemed to think the baby wouldn't be flipping over anymore, so she's in ready to go mode.......i've been getting lots of sharp pains (although nothing regular or consistent) in my lower belly which i'm also taking as signs that things will be starting soon.......hopefully i won't have to go all the way to my due date.......those last few weeks are really just torturous.......no idea why drs can't just induce you once you hit 36 weeks.......i'm impatient, i know........and i might just regret wanting this baby out once the reality of keeping track of 3 little humans outside the womb sets in, but for now, i just want my body, my energy, and my not-so-crabby attitude back!.......i'm sick of being a huge waddling lump that sits on the couch watching the kids play and the hubby do house stuff.......i want to play and do stuff too!......

kid pics......

figured i haven't posted any pics of the kids lately, so here's some.......

selling our house......

so we've officially put our house up on the market.......it's great to have finally reached this point of repairs and updates to put it up.......it's also a little sad.......this house has been great to us - it was perfect for us for the last 6 years - just now too small to fit our growing family.......it's sad to think that casey and molly won't remember their first home.......lots of memories we'll be leaving behind.......but alas, moving is something we need to do.......so begins the process.......we're trying to sell on our own for now - hopefully it'll save us lots of money not having to pay an agent a commission and whatnot.......i think our house is listed with every free website out there.......i posted a few pictures of our house here so we won't forget it once we've moved!.......once we start showing the house and getting offers in, we'll start more actively looking for our next house......but it could take a while, so no sense spending tons of time looking at other houses until then.......

stay tuned!......
