John: 1, Heather : ~100

How many words can you think of that are synonymous to barf?

So a stomach flu is sweeping SFU (wow a rhyme)
Last night it hit John while we were on stage acting in a skit for one of our events.
He held off long enough to not puke(1) all over the audience but spewed (2) shortly there after...and continued to toss his cookies (3) into the night. Of course, not to be outdone, I had my share of throwing up (4) today, but I think mine is baby :)

In other news...we had our first visit with the doctor here in Burnaby. Things went well. We booked our first ultrasound for June 14th. John thinks its too long to wait, but I will be 21 weeks so I think its a good time. We also heard the heartbeat again. It was my 2nd listen, but John's first. Very exciting. The first time he/she was beating at 160, and this time the heartbeat was 145 so slower. They say a fast heartbeat is a girl and a slow one is a boy...so apparently my baby can't decide. :)

Crocs

I love my new pink crocs. Its like I am walking on a beautiful pink cloud.

Team Building

Tonight we had a team building night for Impact. We (and by we I mean I watched) played a capture the flag style game with 9 teams (for each Impact family) and you had to steal socks from the other teams. The defenders had socks filled with flour that they tagged on-comers with.

Anyway, it was quite interesting. It ended with an attack of flour on staff - very funny. Actually, I think it was well deserved ;) People generally had a good time...a little chaotic, but fun.

Mother's Day

@}---;-----

Happy Mother's Day all you mamas!


Today we had a very uneventful day ---my favorite day so far. We went to Mass at 10:30, out for brunch and then back to SFU. The keeners (everyone but John and I) quickly made plans for the day as all the Impacters were at their parishes. John and I decided to have a date-day ---which consisted of a 3 hour nap and a game of scrabble. Party Animals!

In other news ---I guess I celebrated my first mother's day today --although as some what of an impostor as I haven't put in my years work to get a day to celebrate yet. One of the parish teams brought me flowers from Mass so I had 7 carnations pinned on my board today. Very sweet :)

Lost and Found

I don't have much to update with here...nothing noteworthy seems to be happening. On Friday I lost my keys. We went to Walmart and I guess they fell out of my purse. I didn't even notice since I was late to get home and start supper for the 55 students but when I got home they were gone. John went back to Walmart and searched but to no prevail (is that an expression?) We called Walmart but they hadn't found anything (of course by "we" I mean John). We searched the car, called Walmart three more times but still nothing. I shouldn't get so worked up about it, but they were my room and building keys and apparently they are very expensive to replace. Yikes. Anyway...enough drama...we called Walmart once last time and voila - my keys. They are now safely around my neck :P Good ol' trusty lost and found system

I guess thats about it for adventure. If you're keeping track, I hadn't puked in 12 days...but the streak is over and I had my head in a bucket this morning. :S

I am about due for another appointment and I've been having pain in my left side by my rib cage so we're hoping to see a doctor soon. I am thinking the rib pain might be unrelated but we'll see. I've been surfing the net for all the possible things it could be and kind of freaking myself out so hopefully its nothing.

John thinks I am starting to show, but I think its just fat. A few people rubbed my belly recently and all the guys on mission call me mom because I am the grocery lady...so strange. :P

Raining Men

Hello my loyal fans, friends, and lurkers

Alas it is time for my first post as my blog looks so lame all empty and stuff :P

Nothing much to report from rainy BC. We move to the prisons of SFU today...in fact we are packing and loading while I type this very post.

It has been 6 days since my list puke-fest. Feels like a record...although I once didn't puke for 10 days so thats truly the record. Baby is doing fine, otherwise. :) I need to book an appointment with a BC doctor once I finalize the arrangements with my SK doc.

Peace out dudes!

PS: I promise to be less lame and more hilarious in the future :P
