Feb 18th (Mon)

Lakeview Lounge doesn’t open for breakfast normally but this day it was very crowded as it was “Family Day” (a holiday), the last day of the long weekend. So it was open to serve and satisfy the amount of guests. We were able to get a table here luckily! A buffet breakfast with beautiful scenery! Perfect!

A refreshing morning.

Went for a walk on the frozen Lake Louise.

He attempted to shake off the snow from the tree, but he failed…

A water fall also got frozen. Nicely turquoise.

The snow looks delicious, doesn’t it?

We went back to the hotel and had lunch at the Chateau Deli. They have great sandwiches, in my opinion. The bread had flavour with herbs. I became a fan here since when we came here last year. At that time, a veggie sandwich came with grilled bell peppers, but this time it had none of that and had some asparagus instead. The ingredients might change seasonally. The soup is also asparagus. Anyway, they were delicious!

After that, my hubby went for a skate. As I’m pregnant, I was sitting warm at a fire place.

Dinner at Poppy Brasserie inside the hotel.
This cocktail is called Lake Louise. It’s a vodka base with Midori (the green flavor and color). He said it wasn’t too bad, but not too great.

Cocktail: Lake Louise

Seafood pizza (Temple Pizza) and Spinach Salad.

He has a bottle of wine as well in the room…

Outside was cold but inside was nice and warm. Enjoying Lake Louise.
I enjoyed the day again even though I still had coughs and morning sickness.

This morning, it was -12 c degrees and snowing, so I went out and took some photos.

Unfortunately, I don’t have a macro lens, but I took photos with the biggest resolution possible and cropped them.
There are really beautiful arts of nature.

It’s the 22nd week of my pregnancy now and I feel the BB moving. She seems she’s awake when I’m up and she’s in sleep when I’m in sleep. I’d like to apologize to her for the shocks and noises of my coughs… Finally, I’m better.

I bought this dress a long time ago. But I realized or someone told me that this dress make me look pregnant. I think I wore it once or so, and then kept it to wait until I get pregnant. I think I’ve been keeping this dress for a decade…
OK, now I’m pregnant and my belly is big. It’s time!
Oh no! It’s already too tight around my belly! It’s not a stretchy kind of material and it’s uncomfortable. When am I going to wear this?
