There Goes The Fear

Well as promised there is always more news to come in our non-stop crazy lives. Drum roll please...we are pregnant with baby numero dos! Yep you heard right. Just as surprised as some of you might be...but as our motto has become it's 'game on'. That is why we put the rush on to find a home back in Toronto. It's the place that makes us most happy and where we want to put our roots down permanently. I know the move doesn't make everyone happy but at this point in my life I've learned my lesson...you can't live your life to please others because it will just make you fucking miserable at the end of the day. Looking forward to raising our family down there and getting the culture back in our lives that has seemed to be slowly drained from us up here. What else can you expect when you're surrounded by parking lots and box stores? Not to mention about 90% of our friends live down in Toronto so it will be nice to get back in touch and start seeing everyone on a regular basis again.

And back to baby numero dos. I'm 14 weeks now and starting feel a lot better. The first trimester was ridiculous. Crazy morning sickness that would hit as soon as I'd try and go to bed at night. But at least I'd be fine by the morning and could disguise myself at work. Apparently the disguise didn't work as well as I thought it had because most of the gals preggo radar's were going off. I broke the news last week and told my boss on Friday. She didn't take it half as bad as I thought she would. Or maybe she's just a good actress? I assured her that this was a surprise and apologized for any inconvenience it may cause (all the things you say when you're trapped in your bosses office telling her you're pregnant after you've only been back to work from your previous mat leave for 7 weeks). Her politically correct response was, "Oh Cheryl, I am so happy for you! Please feel free to have as many babies as you wish." Ahhhh...okay?

But in all seriousness this is a pretty amazing surprise, even though I was a little freaked out for the first few weeks. I mean having two kids under two years old is a little daunting but we're ready for it! Thank God Gavin is so easy going because I have a funny feeling we may be in for a treat with the next. But we're a pretty easy going household so who knows? We may have two easy going kids. Yeah I can already hear you a-holes laughing. I do know that Gavin is going to make an awesome big brother to his little brother or sister. He loves being around other kids and it will be really neat to see how close they are because of the age difference. Since the overall theme of this pregnancy is 'surprise' we thought we would keep the sex of the baby a surprise too. But who knows? We may get antsy towards the end and change our minds.

So here I am - 3 months pregnant with a 13-month-old who has just started walking and a 3 bedroom house to pack up. Oh and did I mention that Brandon is off to India on business for a week this month? HELP! At least it's all a labour of love. And I have to say I'm really proud of Brandon. I wish I had half of his drive or ambition. And a career that flew me around the world wouldn't be so bad either! He's a hard worker and doesn't get the credit he deserves and I really don't know what we'd do without him. *tear* There go those damn hormones!

Anyhoo, let's wrap this bad boy up. Looking forward to Thanksgiving and trying to get a few shows in before I'm too big to move. Really hope we can check out 'Ride the Tiger' next weekend and maybe I'll have some stamina to get up and dance to a few songs. I feel that sudden rush of second trimester energy starting to kick in and it couldn't have come at a better time!
