The Beginning Of The End – part 2

July 24, 2012 by Christine

We arrived at the hospital yesterday morning at 7:30am for Eva's first round of sedated laser on her hemangioma. We checked in and were taken into a prep room. The nurse came to do the paperwork and take Eva's vitals. The plan was then to give her an oral sedative and then to apply a topical … [Read more...]

The Beginning Of The End – part 1

July 23, 2012 by Christine

It is almost 5 years to the day that Eva was rushed to Sick Kids hospital via emergency ambulance. She was in need of an urgent transfusion because her hemangioma was so severely ulcerated and she had bled out profusely. It was her third bleed. We didn't come home for 6 days. Prior to that … [Read more...]

(not) Home Alone

July 19, 2012 by Christine

A couple of weeks ago all three kids went for a sleepover at Sean's parents house. I woke up the next morning and came downstairs to see Sean sitting at the kitchen table sipping on a coffee, going through his twitter on his tablet. I made myself a coffee and sat down. And drank it. HOT. I had … [Read more...]

Fitness Frenzy

July 9, 2012 by Christine

If this post seems a bit dèja vu, it may be because Erin posted about the same thing last week! (And Sara did a few months back as well) I thought I'd share what I've been up to since I seem to have my mojo back. It all started with this I had gotten into some seriously bad habits resulting in … [Read more...]

FotoFriday – Trendy and Confused

July 6, 2012 by Christine

These are my stubby, chubby fingers sporting the newest trend for nails. Doing a different colour on your ring finger (on both hands). I thought it was a cute idea until I did it myself. Then it was more "Huh...?" I don't get it. Have you heard of this? Do I need to be 20 years younger to pull it … [Read more...]
