There Is A First For Everything!!
I have exciting news!!
No... we're not pregnant. lol
Two days ago (September 3rd) I used skype for the first time with my Intended Mother !! It was amazing, and we both had to wonder why we had not thought of doing so sooner. I could not keep a straight or serious face, I just smiled for the entire 2 hours and 55 minutes. Yes... I know the exact time... it was a very special time for me!! Extremely exciting!!
EDITED: VERONIQUE GAVE ME THE IDEA TO DOWNLOAD SKYPE
Also, last night (September 4th) I got to meet their son!!! Well, kind of. We brought the two children online to see each other for the first time in real person. Well.. as real as it's going to be for awhile... gosh, you know what I mean!!!
He's just adorable, and a complete computer hog of course haha However, my daughter was the way and every time he would say something (our microphone is broken, so no two way communication) she would get excited and point at the screen and say Prince (child's name here). It was just adorable.
Needless to say, we both had to peel the children away from the computer !! It was lovely!!
Another HUGE update. Well, this may actually be bigger lol
I had asked my Intended Mother to be my Matron of Honour! I was so happy to see that she approved and accepted!
So, I wanted to share the dresses and hair styles I've picked out (in the last 4 hours, so bear with me haha).
Here are some suits/dresses I have been looking at for my mom. I've never seen her in a dress, so I don't know what to expect her reaction to be to be honest... so I will have to talk with her before I go crazy and take her measurements and buy the suit/dress.

I'm still looking for Mother of The Bride outfits... but I'm getting there!! She will be giving me away at my wedding and I'm so very excited! We have about 10 months until the wedding [I wanted a month after birth to get back to my pre pregnancy body], so I think by then we should be all ready to go!!
Anyway those are just a few ideas. If anyone out there has any ideas for her, please let me know!! She's big busted, and tiny everywhere else, so I have to take the into consideration haha.
OKAY!! I think I'm all updated.
Side note... it's 0427 hours. Babies will be up soon... gotta hit the SACK.
Thank you Momsicle in advance... you've already been such a kind soul to me and you've helped so much in giving me advice for this wedding. Your every girl's dream Maid of Honor!! I love you!!
And for everyone else... I'm not all that sappy.... lol
OH ... and AF should be here in 5 days :P Will track Ovulation cycle after that, but having some cramping tonight so maybe AF will show up a bit early this month, which is okay, we have made precautions for that!
This time I'm really done!! Hope you enjoyed! Leave lots of comments, constructive criticism, and compliments please!!!
OH and the theme of the wedding is pink and black, everyone attending the wedding other than the Bride, Mother of the Bride and Maid of Honor and Flower Girl will be following this dress regulation.

Thanks for letting me share :)

This Is Where I Realize I Missed Something...
I seem to have forgotten an extremely important thing...
To let you know who I am! haha
My name is Cathleen. I am 19 years young.
I have 2 children of my own, my eldest is Alexandra who will be 2 next months and my youngest is Gabriel, who has just turned 4 months old.
Our first child was definitely unplanned, and definitely not expected for at least 5 years past the point we had her. However, she is Daddy's little girl, and mommy's little princess, and I would be lost without her. Also, without her, I would not be on this journey! Our son WAS planned, and we were sooo hoping for a little boy. I wanted a Mama's Boy.. but he's his father's double, and snuggles only with Daddy hahahahaha
For short, we call them Lexi and Gabe.
Now.. background information....
I grew up in a small town [super small... but we have 5 Tim Horton's lol]. In case you hadn't pieced that together yet, I am a proud Canadian :)
I lived in British Columbia for 5 years [ages 1 through 6] but lived in New Brunswick for the remainder. My mom loved it there... but fate had as move back to our family.
I am fluent in French and English. And for the record, 80% of Canadians do NOT speak French. I had to go through a lot of work to graduate with my French Immersion Certificate. Elementary school was 80% French [which means that 80% of my courses were taught in just french] and I was taught mathematics and science in French until grade 11. Of course there was also a French class on top of that, but I thought that was implied. Through grade 11 and 12, I had to take a semester of French each year, which was difficult... lots of reading, many essays and of course, the dreaded verbs. Do you have any idea how many verbs there are in French? And then you get into the past present and future tense... and then there are exceptions to every rule. It's insane!! To those who speak only French... I commend you, for it is like chinese... well... almost.
I got pregnant in my junior year of high school. Half way through actually. I completed my courses for that semester and attempted to start up again the next semester, I went to school until I was 41 weeks pregnant, but was cut from my online courses after I had Alexandra because I had no internet access at home. I waited until the following semester to go back [Alexandra had to be 4 months old to attend daycare] and then I finished the second semester. We planned a pregnancy for August 2009, and conceived in the first month. I went to school for the first semester, which was all I needed to graduate. I graduated June 25th 2010. One of the proudest days of my entire life.
That's my education in a nutshell... I know that was long haha.
I met hubby when we were 13. We were both in Sea Cadets, which is a youth military program. He was my best friend for 2 years and when we were 15, decided to date...which was March 27th 2006, but promised that the friendship came before the romantic relationship no matter what. He proposed May 2009. We are still trying to set a date, but have recently decided that we want to wait a month AFTER I have this baby so that I can enjoy the day while not being pregnant :)
I'm not sure what else to tell you about me. That's my life pretty much.
Kind of boring, I know.. but it is what I am made of... every wrong turn and bad decision brought to me where I am today, and has shaped the person at this computer. It has made me the kind of mother and partner I am today... and hopefully that is not a negative thing, but something that will change others' lives for the better.... Is that not what we are put on this Earth to do? To help others, and receive help? We all struggle in this life, and without those around us, without the support of our families and friends, where would be?
I would not want to steer into that direction, for I can not imagine where I would be today without every single turn and swirl and storm. I am who I am, and no one is the same as me. I am proud of that.
Thank you for caring enough to read this completely off topic ... topic.

Go, Go, Go, Go... wait.
After waiting, we are now looking forward to the commencement of our 2nd cycle of trying for Baby McQueen.
How do I feel about it?
Excited.
Nervous.
After the best mathematicians I know got together and calculated my next time of ovulation, we've narrowed it down for September 24th.
My mathematicians? Well... that of course would be... okay... it was my pregnancy wheel. However, it did the trick right? YOU CAN'T JUDGE ME!
Sorry... melt down!
IF will be here on DD's birthday actually, September 19th. Tell me that's not meant to be!
So now the wait is ON! ... Like Donkey Kong!
Okay, I think I forgot to mention that it's literally 3:30am as I write this, so this one will be a little off. My apologies... babies are unpredictable creatures. An hour of playing in the middle of the night was NOT what I had expected though. Life is never was we expect though, right?
Okay... I can almost HEAR my pillow and blanket calling me.... It's a good sound!
I'm off to count sheep...1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10...11...12...13...14...15...16...17...18...19...20....21...22...23...24... .........................................................................................................................................*snoring sounds*
