Belly Rub

August 16, 2013 by Ryan 1 Comment

I can't find the appropriate picture for this blog so here's me in a kilt for no reason. Yesterday in the city I saw something that got me thinking. This one’s for the ladies: does it bother you if/when a stranger rubs your belly when you’re pregnant? I was on a patio having a coffee, and by … [Read more...]

It’s a boy

July 15, 2013 by Alanna 6 Comments

Finally the babe has arrived and it's a boy! Our newest addition arrived July 3  just after 1:00 a.m. via emergency c section (yes again!). I gave it a  good try, making it to the end (thanks to my doula for keeping me focused), but my body just isn't made to push babies out that way. I was … [Read more...]

Fresh strawberry spelt muffins

June 30, 2013 by Alanna Leave a Comment

Happy Canada Day weekend everyone. We've been keeping things pretty low-key since I could have this babe any day now. Sadly I'm missing my best friend's bachelorette weekend, patio drinks and all around good long weekend fun, but it will be worth it right? My mind is elsewhere anyway. So much … [Read more...]

Styling “The Bump” for Every Stage

June 27, 2013 by Alanna 4 Comments

Last week I was invited by Yorkdale to flaunt my maxed out bump on Canada AM. The focus of the segment was maternity style at every stage and stylishly presented by fellow blogger and Yorkdale Style Council Member, Iva Grbesic. I was outfitted in an awesome high-low dress from Thyme Maternity … [Read more...]

What to pack in your hospital bag

June 23, 2013 by Alanna 4 Comments

I am full-term and ready to pop any moment. The last few days I've felt like labour was imminent so I responsibly packed my hospital bag this morning. I neglected to do this the first time-round with L'il E and sorely regretted it as I threw random items into a bag between intense contractions. … [Read more...]

Prenatal Barreworks

June 19, 2013 by Alanna Leave a Comment

The other night I was treated to a very fun pregnancy friendly class at Barreworks. The Barreworks exercise system is a program that incorporates the ballet barre, resistance bands and weighted balls into an energizing fitness class. Despite being nine months pregnant I managed to follow along … [Read more...]

Special moments

June 17, 2013 by Alanna 2 Comments

Now that this babe is almost fully baked I've been really taking in as many moments as possible with L'il E and the Hubs. I'm obviously over-the-top excited about #2, but I'm feeling a little bit sad that my L'il E isn't going to be my baby anymore. What's it going to be like splitting my love and … [Read more...]

Why I Hired a Doula for #2

June 11, 2013 by Alanna 5 Comments

Any mother will tell you that giving birth is a crazy experience. Some are more dramatic than others and that was the case for me when I gave birth to L'il E nearly two and a half years ago. My labour made a sharp left turn about 10 hours in and before we knew it L'il E was delivered via emergency … [Read more...]

Spelt banana chocolate chip muffins

June 10, 2013 by Alanna 1 Comment

I'm finally finished up at work and officially on maternity leave. The last time I worked up until the bitter end, but I knew better than to do that this time around. With just over four weeks to go I've started nesting. Today L'il E and I made a batch of spelt banana chocolate chip muffins, … [Read more...]

only 7 more weeks!

May 17, 2013 by Alanna 4 Comments

People ask me everyday how far along I am and I never know the answer. When I was pregnant with L'il E I knew how many weeks plus days I was, but this time I've just been focused on how many weeks I have left. Just so you know, the number is seven! Only 7 more weeks of uncomfortableness before I … [Read more...]
