Tuesday night, Jeff and I went to the Celine Dion concert in Winnipeg. Let me just tell you that it was absolutely FABULOUS! You know how some people don't sound so good live as they do on their CD? Well, she's definately not one of those. She sounded every bit as good at the concert as she does on any CD I own. I have never heard anything quite like it. Probably the best concert I've ever been to, even though we sat in the very last row of the place. We could still see everything just fine.
She had this guy, Gordy Brown (i think), open for her. He's a headliner at the Golden Nugget Hotel in Las Vegas, doing impersonations and stuff. He too was very good.
And thanks to Jeff for being such a good sport about coming with me. Let's just say it wasn't his kind of music. So thanks again!

A list of things that probably won't interest you much...
I have to apologize to anyone who has been waiting patiently (or not so patiently)for me to write something new. I don't have any great news to write about so I'll just let you in on a few things:
1. I'm having a baby, not today, but sometime
2. I've been debating on whether or not to pay for an ultrasound in which I can find out the sex of my baby. You see, I really want to know the sex, but they won't tell you in Portage and I'm unable to go to the one place in Winnipeg that will tell you. So, if I want to know, I have to pay. That being said, I made my appointment yesterday. Whether or not I will keep this appointment is yet to be determined.
3. Keeping with the "I'm pregnant" theme, the thing I dislike about getting pregnant is knowing that I WILL gain weight. And, as my clothes are quickly getting tighter and tighter, I've resorted to getting out the maternity pants. Have I ever told you how much I hate maternity pants. As comfortable as they are when they stay up, they don't stay up. And, no belt loops. Try getting a belt for an expanding belly. I also just hate gaining weight. I know you're supposed to when you are pregnant, but I don't like it just the same.
4. My boys are loud. Either that or my house is small. I love them to pieces anyway.
5. I finally hung the pictures of my boys that were taken last year around this time. They look fantastic. I don't know what took me so long. I think it was the lack of picture frames, but thanks to Dollarama I have 3 picture frames for $3.00. How great is that? And they were just what I wanted, believe it or not.
6. My bathroom still isn't finished. Although, it's looking pretty good. At least I have a bathtub with a working shower, a toilet and a working sink. Life is pretty good. Thanks Jeff (and my dad, and Jeff's dad)
7. On Tuesday I'm going to a Celine Dion concert. I've had these tickets for a year, maybe more. So, the day is finally near. It's going to be awesome!
8. I haven't started my Christmas shopping. Well, not really. I ordered something online, but that's it. I love Christmas, and I wanted to get my shopping done early. I guess I should get on that.

A poem
I have something exciting to tell you.
Will it be pink or will it be blue.
I don't know either because they won't tell me. (sorry, that's where the poem ends)
I am very happy to announce that we are going to have another baby, sometime at the end of March. As Jamin would say, the baby is going to pop out of my tummy. So that's my news!

Jeff wins, and I'm not sure why!
I was going to write about how Heather likes to cheat at board games, but I thought I'd be nice so I'll write about her wonderful hairdressing abilities instead!
Last night we were all at my in-laws for supper. It was a good time and good food that's for sure. After supper we played a game, which I will not tell you about, and then Heather got out the scissors and the line-up for haircuts began. So, she asked who's first and Jeff piped up and said Aaron. After much debating and me glaring at him, Jeff won and Aaron got his very first haircut. It was a sad moment for me, as now he looks more like a little boy than a baby. But, to Heather's credit, she did a great job, of both the boys. Maybe when I get my camera out, I'll take a picture and you can see how cute they look. So thanks Heather for the great haircuts and for saving us $20.

So exhausted!
If you couldn't tell by the title, I'm tired. It all started a few weeks ago, but the worst happened on Thursday night. My son Aaron woke up at midnight. I fought to get him back to sleep and finally at 2:30 he gave in, only to wake up an hour later. I think by 4:00 or shortly after he was asleep. My son Jamin has a cold, so he was waking up on and off because of his coughing. I think by 5:00 I finally got to sleep.
Last night, we got home a bit late, so the boys were in bed around 10:00. Only about an hour past their bedtime. Jamin slept fine, except for a coughing fit he had around 10:30. Aaron decided to wake up, and I'm not sure exactly what time but I think somewhere around 5:30. I've been fighting with him ever since to get back to sleep.
I know, some will say "just let him cry". I tried. He screams until he's coughing and sounding like he's going to throw up. He's my good sleeper. I don't know what's wrong. When he wakes up you can tell he's tired, but it's almost like he can't sleep.
So, I'm not sure what to do. I don't know if there's something wrong with him, or if it's a phase, or he's teething (really really badly). He's fine during the day. I guess we'll see how the next few nights go.
