The Best Surprise Ever!

Any man can be a father, but it takes a lot to be a daddy

Winter has finally hit home with a blast and mother nature has decided to show her fury in the cold she has brought.  Sunday morning we woke up to snow and lots of it, not only that it was bitter bitter cold, so we ended up being late very late for church because digging our car out of the snow proved to be a feat when you are not expecting snow so all your winter stuff is still put away.  I hear Calgary is just as cold but I just don't like winter.  In coming home from church we found out that there was too much snow to park in our parking spot because all the snow drifted into our spot so we parked else where.  Sunday was cold and I was not looking forward to this week and it has been colder still.

Today reached a chilly -36 celsius with wind chill and that is dang cold.  Yesterday it was -30 and so J ran out to start the car and prep our car for winter by plugging it in and all the things you need to do to make sure it is ready for the winter.  J was gone a really long time to the point that I was getting worried he had fallen on some ice and was knocked out cold, dying in the snow and I would never know.  Yes, I know I worry too much and have catastrophic thinking, but at least I can admit it ;)  Anyways, J wandered in a while later after he had texted me saying he would be home soon, red from ear to ear and anything that was sticking out of his multiple layers he was wearing.  J handed me a whole bunch of bags and told me to look inside.  When I did I found that J on his errands out had lovingly gone through the baby isle and bought some bibs and socks for baby.  It was sweet to see that mr hubbins each day is getting more excited for baby to come and I am glad to see that he feels connected with the pregnancy and baby.  

Speaking of baby girl, this morning I woke up early waiting for J to come home from work.  I had made myself some herbal peppermint tea and was sitting on the couch just enjoying the quietness and darkness that still lingered at seven thirty in the morning.  When all of a sudden  I felt repeatedly distinct movements that were not the normal movements  I have felt with little kabinky, after a while I realized little cupcake was hiccuping.  I loved that feeling and each day I feel amazed that J and I created this beautiful little baby that is growing inside me.  I feel like the anticipation for May is like Christmas in feeling that special magical feeling and it seems like this is what a baby is like when they come.  I am sooooo excited for baby and am really looking forward to having my own cupcake to love and cherish.
