Change seems to be the word of the day for Kel and I. With a new baby on the way and a new home to move into - I've put together another website for "us".
Disclaimer: (for Kel who is reading this) Kel provided the structure of the site and I provided content.
We've taken the KKYEE brand (used for our wedding website) and redone it so that you can keep up with what's going on in our lives. My current blog site had always been about me and what keeps me amused. The new site is more dedicated to our life together as a family. Check it out when you have the chance. Better yet - update your links to the new site as I'll be posting in there from now on.

June update
I'm getting really terrible at updating this blog. :-) Blame it on the pregnancy. Things have been hectic in the KKYEE household. Here are some of the things that's kept our noses to the ground...
House
The ongoing dream of living in a house continues. It seems like we've been looking for a house for years. Maybe we have! Kel and I put the condo up for sale 2 weeks ago and have been spending our weekends hunting down a new home. My sister Carol is our real estate agent (nurse by day). Sometimes it's nice to have your sister as your agent as you can say things straight up without worrying about being political. Plus it makes it easier when we send her into the wolves's den with super low ball offers! We decided to live with Kel's parents as one big happy family. That meant that instead of meeting our own criteria for a new home - we also had to consider theirs. This was the problem last year when we started house-dreaming...the 4 of us couldn't agree on a home. This year is more successful. We found a few homes that were good and suited our needs. We even made some offers on them but alas - the offers fell through as the sellers didn't see eye-to-eye with us. The value of a home is so subjective. Good news though. We are now in the midst of clearing the clauses off of a current accepted offer. If all goes well - we could be the proud owners of a Port Moody house this weekend. :-) Keep your fingers crossed! Now if only someone would buy the condo...
Baby
I'm now 6 months pregnant. We're done with all the testing and ultra sounds - everything looks great. We even found out the sex of the baby! Think BLUE. :-) As I head into the final trimester, the feeling of being pregnant is more real. The summer heat is not helping at all. My feet have swollen up to the point of not fitting into shoes. Boohoo. I've resorted to wearing flip flops to work - not very professional but at least I can move around. I just have to work till the end of August then I'm off for a month to "relax" before the big day. As the heat rises - my desire to stay in the condo diminishes. The baby is getting pretty big now and when I waddle around I look even more prego then ever. It's a very fascinating feeling having the baby inside of me. He's kicking more so now and appears to respond to sound and touch. Kel and I enjoy bugging him while in the womb by pressing down on my belly to see if he'll respond to us. :-)
Work
What's there to say - Kel is a workaholic and I have crazy shifts. The super early morning shifts leave me more tired in the afternoon and I feel like dozing at the wheel. Bad combo: tired preggo and driving. Needless to say my car has suffered from my drowsiness - I scraped into a post while trying to park. Aiyah! I was too tired to even care. On a tech note, Kel got a crackberry from work (about time since his other work phone was ancient). Now his work can bug him 24/7. Joy.

that tropical feeling
Today is such a beautiful day. The sun is shining and the condo is a nice toasty tropical temperature. :-) It's making me and my new orchids happy! They're thriving in the humidity of the condo so it's making me super happy to come home and see new blossoms!

G-spot
Just wanted to say that I love my Snoogle. Chicky got it for me for my birthday. It's an overly priced body pillow but who cares. What makes mommy happy makes daddy happy right? With my expanding belly - I'm finding it challenging at night to find a comfy position. I cuddle Snoogle and it cuddles me back. What a perfect relationship we have - I drag it around the condo and it never complains. It's quite a big pillow so it takes up a lot of room on the bed - I think Chicky is getting jealous of how much time Snoogle and I spend together. :-)

updates
It's been awhile since I've blogged. Life has been hectic with work, etc. Here are some updates:
Attended Joshua's birthday party and had a great time catching up with friends and seeing how big the kids have grown. I can't believe he's 2 already - where does time fly?
My baby bump is getting more noticeable. I've finally told my coworkers so its public knowledge, which is a relief as I can wear my maternity clothes in freedom. On the downside - sleeping is getting difficult with the growing belly and my stuffed up nose. I find that my allergies have worsened ever since the pregnancy. This only sucks because I can't take any medication for it. So I have to suffer - boo!
On the weekend I stopped by the house and took some pictures of Tyson and Lily. Those 2 are growing up so fast too! I see Tyson often (as they live close) but Lily comes down once every other week so she's full of surprises when she's here.
