It is a beautiful display of lights. Many people decorate their houses with those lights, but it is the first time I saw such extravagant display. Not many people would be able to afford such display.

The display is organized by a the owner of Home Hardware store in Edmonton. Mr. Jerry Dolynchuk. This is his way of giving back to the community. Many people stop by to take a close look and take many pictures to show family and friends.

To all my dear Aunties:
I'm really glad that you all could come.

And help my Mommy relax, enjoy yourselves and chat with one another.
Sorry I couldn't be with you to join in Mommy's shower.
But I'm very busy you see. I'm growing more each hour.
Though I'm not there to thank you for the lovely gifts you've brought, my family is grateful.
We appreciate the thought. I'll be arriving shortly and I'm as happy as can be.
So, after I've been home awhile.
Please come and visit me.
Sincerely,
Baby

28 Week Pregnancy (Semana 28 de Gravidez)

Semana No.28 de Gravidez
Idade do feto: Semana 26
Tamanho do bebê: O bebê está com peso de aproximadamente 1100g e sua medida, da cabeça ao bumbum é de 25cm. Sua medida total é de 35cm.
Desenvolvimento do embrião: Alguns especialistas acreditam que com 28 semanas de gestação os bebês comecem a sonhar. Sonhar com o quê? Ninguém faz a menor idéia. Mas o cérebro está bem ativo à essa idade. As ondas cerebrais podem ser notadas em testes específicos e os tecidos cerebrais estão bem desenvolvidos. Por volta desta semana também poderá ser possível sentir soluços do bebê. Pode parecer estranho no começo ou você nem venha a pensar em soluço quando sentí-los, você poderá achar que são os chutinhos que vinha sentindo até então mas logo você perceberá a diferença. Não há com o que se preocupar, os soluços são normais e duram pouco tempo.Os cabelos da cabeça do bebê também estão crescendo mais e mais. Sobrancelhas e cílios estão presentes. Você deve ter notado também que o bebê está ganhando bastante peso, especialmente se você compará-lo com 11 semanas atrás quando ele pesava apenas 100g e agora já está com mais de 1kg. Somente nas últimas 4 semanas, o seu peso dobrou.
Mudanças em seu corpo: Agora que o bebê está cada vez mais perto de sua caixa toráxica, você poderá começar a sentir que sua respiração está um tanto mais curta. Essa é uma sensação que começa agora e vai se estender até ao final da gravidez. E o pior é que ela não estará sozinha. Você poderá começar a sentir também dores nas pernas, devido ao aparecimento ou ao agravamento de
varizes. E a sua barriga, cada vez maior, poderá dificultar para uma série de pequenas atividades do dia-a-dia como, levantar-se, deitar-se, abaixar-se, dirigir, e por aí vai...O útero encontra-se agora à 8cm acima do umbigo e, você deve ter ganhado até agora por volta de 8 à 10 kg.

Kerry and the Baby Furniture














This is the our future Baby first Funiture. Kerry Daddy is putting together the crib. We still have to finish the room, but it is a slow proccess. It is an exciting time!Posted by Picasa

Baby Furniture Arrived

- Having a Blast Reading Books (Wired for Books)
"I'm a wizard, I'm a warlock, I'm a wonder of the age.
I'm a sorcerer, magician, prestidigitator, mage.
I can change into a chicken, or perhaps a purple pig.
I can wave my wand and, presto, I'm a waffle with a wig.
With the power in my pinky I can burst like a balloonor transform into a tiger with the head of a baboon.
If I wiggle on my earlobeor I knock upon my knee I become a dancing doughnutor a turtle in a tree.
Just a simple incantationand I deftly disappear, which I never should have done because I've been this way all year.
And despite my mighty magic,
I'm impossible to see, for I never learned the spells I need to turn back into me."
* This is going to be full of books. It is going to be Baby's first Library. Posted by Picasa
