MISTER 'BEAN'

Today was our 20 week scan, and well, the title says it all... our Bean is a little Mister...

He is in perfect health, seems to be growing properly and everything is just great.





I was really worried that our 'Bean' wasn't going to co-operate and let us see his gender, but we had no trouble with that. The whole scan took about 20 minutes, because he was so good, and when it came time to sneak a peek, he lay there, legs wide open, revealing the whole package... it was hard to miss. There is no doubt that he is in fact another Geddes male. LOL.

Now the trouble with a little Mister, is his grandpa and uncle on my side...my brother, Jarryd and my dad are natural born trouble makers, mischief seekers and pranksters... And I have no doubt that they will eagerly try to involve our little Mister Bean and teach him the ways of the Gerber Family men...Oh, what grey hairs I see sprouting on my head after family vacations to South Africa... LOL... But then, I just couldn't imagine life without my nut-house family who so love to torment me. :D

Our little 'Bean' will also have no shortage of little terrors to play with, as the Geddes side of the family are sprouting many boys... there is Kaden, Landon, Baby Nielsen and our Mister 'Bean' and I am sure there are many more little Geddes Men still to come. It will be wonderful when we live close to the rest of the family and the boys can all grow up together.

To think of the things that lie in the future... dirty boys racing through my house, tramping mud on my clean carpets; bug collections in my living room and excuses like, "But Grandpa Said..."

We are definitely in for an entertaining adventure with our little Mister 'Bean'

MY 'SPECIAL' PEOPLE

As many of you may know, I absolutely ADORE my family.... they are loud, obnoxious, crazy, and rather 'special' people, but they are the absolute best...

Today I decided that I wanted to add them to my blog, because they are so far away and so easy to miss...

I didn't choose the most glamorous pictures, cos then you would be looking at a slide show of someone elses family... my family is VERY FAR from glamorous, so I chose pictures that show the true colours of the nut house that I grew up in, with the people whose genes I share.

P.S You need sound for the slide show

BRRR...

Winter it seems, has arrived.
Yesterday we had our first 'decent' snowfall. It snowed pretty much all day, and settled well.
We have had snow in the past weeks, but mostly just little flurries, that barely settled on the ground... yesterday was a good snowy day... and completely dreary in my opinion, but today, it's gorgeous outside... blue skies and white snow everywhere.

Of course, it's freaking freezing, but I guess you can't have one without the other.

Here are some pics I took yesterday of our first good snow fall.




MY FACE CLEARLY SAYS IT ALL... lol


This is how it looks outside today... it's days like this when I like snow!

ENTERTAINING AN AFRICAN...

pparently it doesn't take much to entertain me... LOL.

Jake and I recently ordered a new trash can from Costco...they had a great deal on a 13 gallon one, and a bonus feature is that it is censored, so it opens automatically so you don't have to touch it...
Well, I am not generally one for gadgets and electronics, but our trash can arrived this morning and I decided to unpack it and set it up etc... before I knew it, I was giggling in delight at this new 'toy'... I am such spaz. LOL :)

Here is a video of our AWESOME trash can. LOL

BABY HAS WHEELS

Recently Jake and I made our first 2 purchases for the 'Bean'... the first thing we bought is a crib linen set. It is Classic Pooh and just the cutest. We chose that one because it is very neutral coloured, so we can use it no matter what gender baby we have. I am hoping to get a cherry coloured crib, but I don't know for sure what we will end up getting.



Our second and biggest purchase is a Chicco travel system... I never thought I would be so excited about getting a pram (stroller). We hadn't planned on buying one any time soon, but we saw it in Babies R Us and between the store discount and the online Chicco rebate, we would save $60 if we bought it now... so of course we were easily sold and bought it. It's great. I can't wait to use it.



On other exciting news... I am literally counting down the days left until our big 20 week scan... our scan is on 23 December, so exactly 3 weeks from today... I just can't wait to know if we are having a boy or a girl. Between us and our families, the opinions on gender are about 50/50, so we really could end up with either. LOL.

Murpheys law, the Bean will be a stubborn little thing at the scan and not play along very well, and we will leave still not knowing what we are having and still calling it, 'Bean' or 'It'. LOL... Jake has said on a few occassions, that the Bean is definitely my child... stubborn, difficult and unco-operative. LOL... we'll see. :D
