It’s time to go public with our litle family secret!  I am pregnant!!!  Mike and I are expecting our second child on or around February 2nd 2009 and we couldn’t be more thrilled!  Family life is just who we are and we are both excited to add a fourth person to our clan!  Jacob will be a big brother!!  I will be 14 weeks pregnant on Monday and so we felt it was time spilled the beans to our family and friends!  We’ve spent much of the past week trying to update people and now I’m making it all the more public by announcing it on my blog!  I won’t go on and on about it here in this post but you can go back through my blog posts and you will find a TON (18 to be exact) of posts that were hidden up until this very moment!  I’ve been journaling about this pregnancy since the moment we found out and have titled all of those threads “Super Secret Bloggy Threads”….I guess now my updates dont’ need to be private!  I’m excited to go through this pregnancy journey with all of you bloggy stalkers friends!

Here’s all the pregnancy related posts so you can all easily find them!

Today is August 1st and i am so stinking happy that the summer is nearly half way done!  Have I mentionned how much I hate the humidity in this city?  Honestly, the humidity is just getting worse and worse as the years go on which I know is because of Global Climate Change and the pollution in this city.  Every year it seems that the summer drags on and on as I wait for my most favorite time of the year - autumn!  Truthfully for super secret reasons I can barely wait for this summer to be long gone and for the cool colorful days of the fall to be in our midst!

I am really looking forward to a lot of activities that come during the fall!  This year we are planning a trip to both Chudleighs Apple Farm and Whittamore Farms!  Last year we did Chudleighs as an alternative to Whittamore Farms and while I loved Chudleighs for what it had to offer….I missed the pumpkin focused portions of Whittamore Farms.  I am guessing we’ll do Chudleighs with Lisa, Jim, Sofia, Melanie and Suzanne again but I’m not sure about Whittamore Farms…perhaps we’ll do that one with Nana and Papa this year or maybe just the three of us will go!  We have lots of time to plan so obviously I am not too concerned!  After those fall outings we’re really looking forward to Jacob’s third trick or treat!  I really think this year he’s going to understand it way more then he did last year!  I’m thrilled!

Once halloween passes we’ll start gearing up for Christmas with our usual holiday preparations including the annual Toronto Santa Claus Parade!  Maybe Jim, Lisa and Sofia will join us this year!

Anyway, the point of this celebratory blog post is to say that I am rejoicing that the summer is nearing its end and my favorite time of year is approaching!  September can’t come fast enough!
