Susan in the Oven

So, i think it's safe to share... we are having another little babe! Dan's mom has come up with the nickname Susan because she thinks it's a girl. I mean, i'm not actually going to name her Susan (if it is a girl, that is) but for now, we think it's a cute nickname. When we were pregnant with Lucas our friends called him Bun and we still called him that a few days after he was born. It was so weird to think- YOU'RE Bun? Can't wait to meet "Susan." We find out the sex on April 25 and i'm sure Dan and I won't be able to keep that to ourselves! We are very very excited that Lucas will have another little one to keep him company. I think he'll be a great big brother. This pregnancy has been a lot different than the first. I have felt awful longer, I am way more tired earlier on in the pregnancy and I feel like a whale. It's like I woke up one day and boom, my waistline expanded! I am feeling less nauseous as the days go on, which is reassuring! I am due on September 11 (dun dun dun...) by the way.

Also, it's official. I signed up for artwalk on Whyte. I seriously felt like i was going to puke when i while i was choosing my spot on the map. BUT, i did it- no turning back now! Although the other night i logged on, got my profile ready and decided to look at other people's work. I started to feel sick again. Everyone's work was amazing and looks so much more professional than mine. I don't know what I got myself into. Everyone was blabbing on about their galleries and studios.... it seems everyone knows what they are doing but me. Needless to say, i barely slept that night. Why i decided to look on the website before i climbed into bed, i don't know. oh well, maybe people will feel bad for old pregs and buy a painting from me?

Anyway, check it out- www.art-walk.ca/ and look under featured artists if you're interested.
