A Good Week

We've had a nice week here around the Steckly house. First, it's Daniel's days off, so we have had lots of time with him, which the girls love! We decided to be a little bit productive too, and finished a project that we've been procrastinating since August; installing our shower so we don't have to take baths all the time! I had finished grouting the tile last week (never. Again.), so this week, we put silicone around the tub and installed the shower head. It's so wonderful, and the shower curtain makes our bathroom look just a little more "done" :)
The weather has been absolutely glorious this week, which means we've been able to spend lots of time outside too! A few days ago it was +15 here and I had to carry a crying Danica in because it was too dark to keep playing out there, but she was having fun sledding!
On Saturday I took the girls to the outdoor rink at the school while Daniel worked on the house. They loved it. Danica especially loved that she got to skate, even if it was the toddler skates, with two blades :)
We found out the sex of the baby this week too, which was a bit of a surprise, but I suppose it really shouldn't have been, right? Lol
Speaking of the baby, I can't believe I'll be 22 weeks tomorrow! As much as I've been wanting to enjoy this pregnancy, I have found the most of it has been about just surviving another day with morning sickness. Weeks 6-15were absolutely terrible. For most of October and November I only really left my bed when I had too. My house was a mess and my family ate way more delissio pizza and pbj sandwiches than I would like to admit. They were all really great though. Addison and Tegan would get their own breakfast and get ready for school...I jast had to toss together a lunch for them. myka and Danica were really good at playing together while ran between the bathroom and my bed. I would just leave my door open so I could watch them :) and Daniel did everything he could for me when he wasn't working. They are such blessings :) Unfortunately the morning sickness didn't end at 13 weeks like it's "supposed to" (lol)....and I'm still struggling with it to a point. It has gotten Much, much better this week though! Now that the sickness is dwindling and the baby is moving more, I find that I am finally starting to enjoy it more. Today the girls even got to feel the baby kick! It's still tiny kicks, but I thought it was so cool that they got to feel it.

Now...my computer charging cord broke, so I am having to blog from my phone. For that reason, all my recent favorite photos are at the end of the post and; you'll have to excuse any spelling or grammatical errors. They are much harder to catch on here!

Have a great week ! everyone
