Clear Lake Cabin Visit






Had a wonderful weekend with Jason and Aimee and Noah Pawsey at their cabin near Wainwright, Alberta. It was so great to spend time with these friends, as they are such nice people but because of the distance between our homes, we don't get to see very often. Spent lots of time in the sun, fishing, reading, chasing Noah, etc. Returned to Calgary quite relaxed, however we were racing a big storm home and it began to rain shortly after we arrived. Had hoped to help move some things with Matt Drover (they recently bought a house & had some furniture stored) but rain/hail made it too difficult - will reattempt tomorrow night. It rained nearly 1 inch in about 2 hours, and now has started raining again (11:30 PM) - Dani was woken up by a loud crack of thunder, so got up to pee & have a snack: peanut butter on crackers and a glass of milk. Cam drank a mouthful of bad milk tonight - Dani suspects that he was drinking out of the carton again, which serves him right.


6 minutes later.... well I just reviewed the photos from the weekend and I have to say that my tummy is getting QUITE big now! In one of the photos on the boat I nearly block Cam out completely - kind of like a lunar eclipse, haha! While taking a bath in the middle of the lake one morning, I scraped my belly against the side of the boat. Actually, it was more like I slid against the side of the boat. The whole front of my belly turned black and blue - the blue turned out to be from cold water, mostly, but did bruise a bit from the scrape. For such a tiny little bump, I am surprised at how much of a mark I got - the book I have says that blood vessels are closer to the skin's surface now, so tiny bumps, even the ones the baby makes from the inside, can leave bruises.
