So I was probably in labour all day? It was so different this time around. With O I felt fine, I went to bed, and then BAM! Kick to the gut at 5:30am, and we were off! Seven hours later (less if there hadn’t been complications) and we had a baby boy. This time was…

35 Weeks
The count down to baby number 2 has officially begun. I am very round, and very uncomfortable. It is nearly impossible to get any sleep, and it’s getting harder to walk. Worth it? YES!!! In a few weeks (hopefully sooner than later) we will have a brand new baby girl:) So tiny, and snuggly, with…
Read More“A Little Bit Of Dirt Won’t Hurt!”
My whole life I’ve heard my mother repeating this saying. When we were kids we went outside, ran around, got dirty! It’s just part of being a kid. Now that I’m a parent It’s up to me to decide how dirty is enough. With germs, and super bugs, and creepy crawlies lurking under every stone,…
Read MoreOne Year Old!
I can’t believe my baby just became a toddler! It feels like it went so fast. Everyday he looks more and more like a little boy instead of a baby, with his own little facial expressions, and attitude! Yesterday was his birthday party. I think everyone who came had a really good time! Having a…
Read MoreEasiest Baby Ever!
I have the easiest baby ever! Yes, he is lactose intolerant, no he is not sleep trained, yes he stays up until 11 every night, but he is the easiest baby of all time! Yesterday was B’s birthday, so we ordered pizza and ate some junk! I ate pizza with one hand and held out…

Or at least I hope so! The rumbly in my tumbly is in full bloom now. I had my first ultrasound today and it was just as exciting as the first time I saw O! He/she was moving the whole time. So tiny and so squirmy! Two babies is a daunting thought, but also exciting!…
Read MoreBack To Work!
What a horrifically horrid start to the new year! Due to bigger plans and the scheme of things I returned to work at the beginning of the year. After ten glorious months of playing, laughing, learning, loving, changing, washing, laundering, and snuggling, I left my precious baby with his daddy and returned to soul crushing…
Read MoreHoliday Madness And The New Year!
The holiday madness is over (including two baking days, multiple shopping days, and a whirlwind three day weekend at my sister-in-laws) and the new year has begun. As every year I made lists and schedules. Spent hours planning out exactly how this month would go. The working out, the going back to work, the eating…
Read MoreSix Months!
In two days, Ollie will be six months old! I’m not sure how the time passed so fast, but here we are. Six months! These past months have been an amazing roller-coaster of learning, exhaustion, tears, laughs, and love. I have to say though, that I have been very lucky so far. So many of…
Read MoreAutumn 2010
My favourite season is upon us! Crisp air, the rustling of leaves, butter squash soup, tumblers of chai, scarves, sweaters, Halloween, pumpkins! And I’m not the only one that feels this way. It’s back to school, it’s The Vogue September Issue, it’s a fresh fashion start! It’s grown up coats, and grown up shoes. It’s…
