Liam has pre-school on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, so this week my friend (and Liams daycare provider) Pauline drove Liam and her daughter Addy in on Tuesday while I went to work, and I took the kiddies in on Thursday while Pauline packed for an upcoming trip.
My mom arrived on Wednesday for a visit which was great. Liam loves having visitors, and it was especially nice for him to get some one on one time with his Nana. My mom watched Liam while I went to work on Friday bright and early, and once I got home, it was off to Ottawa!
On Saturday, Liam and I spent a very wet and cold morning planting trees at Andrew Hayden Park in Ottawa as part of TD's Tree Day. My parents, as well as my Grams and Gramps were nice (and brave) enough to visit us there, and immediately got put to work! lol. My dad and I ended up doing the majority of the actual planting, while the others entertained Mr. Liam (who looked MIGHTY cute in his TD shirt and rain boots, with his little Cars shovel and watering can). It felt nice to do something so great for the environment, and it made me proud to work for such an environmentally conscious company.
Saturday afternoon was spent at my brother and sister-in-laws house, picking up a few things (Hello pregnancy body pillow...my new best friend!!) and visiting. Liam always walks into their playroom and stops in his tracks with how many fun toys there are! He could probably spend forever there quite happily.
Sunday morning we took Liam to his first gymnastics class on base. I had started not feeling well the night before, so it was a bit daunting to drag my butt out that morning. But thankfully Bill was there, and Liam had SO much fun. It was nice to sit back and watch him participate for once, rather than being the one in action with him. I also met an old friend at the class, so it was fun to sit back and just chat. Liam was a superstar on the uneven bars, but has a little work to do learning to actually jump on the trampoline (though his frog jumps were pretty innovative if you ask me! lol). I didn't bring my camera as all of his previous classes have been no-photo zones, but evidently it is ok in this class. So I will hopefully get some shots this Sunday. The rest of Sunday was spent resting on my part, trying to kick this cold to the curb (didn't quite work, still called in sick today).
Today was a bit of a bust. Sore throat, achy joints, runny nose...the whole works. I feel like it is some unfair punishment that pregnant women can still get everyday colds on TOP of feeling so crummy otherwise (at least this pregnant woman). Bill asked how I was feeling last night before bed, and I told him that I didn't know it was possible to feel so crummy, so many different ways at once. Blah! My next shift is not until Wednesday, so hopefully I feel better before then.
And here is a little update on "blueberry" for the week! Still growing up a storm in there :)
