Since my last post...

A few fun things have happened since I last posted. So, lets see...

Went to a BBQ at Chris' parents new place in Maple Ridge on the 17th, I contributed a BBQ corn recipe I had which was quite yummy I thought. Chris and I also brought Ostrich for the rest of the family to sample...I don't actually know how that went over as I forgot we'd brought it and didn't eat any myself. I did have a bite of Chris' steak and it was quite tasty...but I wasn't in much of a meat mood.
Chris' sister Denise and her boyfriend Stephan announced thier intention to marry this coming fall as well as the fact that they are expecting a baby in late December/early January. It will be neat. Our girls will have a cousin next door to play with aproximately the same age as them.

On the 18th Chris and I did our first 'face to face' meet with the folks up at SFU. We've been participating in a 'Transition to Marriage' study that a master's student is conducting involving filling out survey's online periodically and 2 face to face meets over the course of 2 or 3 years. We started this in the fall last year I think.

The rest of the week passed quietly. I can't remember anything especially eventful until Friday. On Friday Chris and I went to do some maternity photos with Kim @ http://www.eclipsephotography.ca/
That was really fun, and I can't wait to see how they turn out. Fingers crossed!! We got a pkg. deal with her so that we can go back and do a family shoot after the twins are born.

On Saturday the 24th we had the 'Vancouver' baby shower. That was fun. Some people did show up. :) It was great to see everyone and we got some interesting gifts and some money to go towards the stroller we want. A big thanks to Meridith and Shannon for putting that all together. If you read this at all...GREAT JOB GUYS!!

I just had another ultrasound yesterday (Wednesday the 28th). This was supposed to be my last one for 4 weeks, but Baby B didn't show enough of a weight gain from the previous ultrasound to make the Dr's comfortable with the 4 weeks time frame so I will be going in again on the 14th of July. I did find out their current weights though. Baby A is 3lb 2oz's and Baby B is 2lb 11oz's. Almost 1/2 lb difference!!! No one is worried about her size yet though, she is still growing, just slowly. It's crazy to think that when you add another lb between them you will have my apx. birth weight, and I'm only 7 mths along!! No wonder I feel so front heavy. Baby B has also decided to switch positions on me after a month and is now breech. Baby A is still head down thankfully, and hopefully Baby B switches to head down again, the chances of me having to have a C-section are lower if they are both head down. No photo's this time.

Chris and I went to dinner at Bill and Emily's in Maple Ridge again last night. I've been wanting Bourbon Brinded Pork Chops for some time now so seized the opportunity to make them. They were quite good, and Chris especially enjoyed them. He's funny sometimes. Apparently he figured that was the best meat I've ever made...and as he doesn't think I thanked him properly for the compliment (haha), here it is. THANKS CHRIS!! haha. I'll have to make beer can chicken sometime soon. I love that but am still not completely over my aversion to chicken. We are headed over to Denise's for BBQ tonight I think.

Well, that's all the news. Til next time I remember.
