Note the fact that I had to lean over a bit to get the feet in! (Man I'm tall...my feet are 3 miles away) Sorry all for the delay in getting a new post this week. I've been dealing with some lovely late-pregnancy issues (I'll spare you all of the gory details, although it does seem like … [Read more...]
The end of a chapter, spring and new beginnings
Saturday was my due date. I've been getting increasingly antsy and told my husband that if we stayed home I was going to go nuts. It was absolutely gorgeous outside here in Toronto and I was eager to get outside and embrace the sunshine and fresh air. We made our way to the local … [Read more...]
I’m so ready!
For weeks, I've been thinking "I'm not ready, I'm not ready, there's still so much left to do." I had made a list of imperative household projects that I must accomplish prior to baby's arrival, and until those were completed, I commanded this child to stay in utero. Now, I'm ready! … [Read more...]
The fruits of my labour
As I've mentioned, the past couple of months have been characterized by intense nesting. I went a bit nuts at Ikea, and have been busily setting to tasks in my home that have long been on hold. We moved in to our current house 3.5 years ago, and it seemed like we were still partially … [Read more...]
March Break
It's Thursday night of March break, and I'm feeling a bit wistful. It's been a lovely week with the kids, and I've really enjoyed having them home with me all day. They're only gone three hours a day at Montessori, but it does limit what activities we can do together when they're at home. It's … [Read more...]
Notes on the third trimester
I've got 6 weeks to go, and I'm starting to get excited - both for baby's arrival and for the re-acquisition of my body as it was before. The first trimester was characterized by sickness and emotional rollercoasters (which continue sporadically). The surprise of this pregnancy took a … [Read more...]
Milestone at the Gym
Something amazing happened to me today. I was at the gym, trudging through my bi-weekly workout (that gets harder and harder as my belly gets bigger and bigger), and approaching the end of my session. I always leave my abdominal and core work till the end as it's that portion of my … [Read more...]
What Does it Take to Adopt a Baby in this Province?
Patience. Patience. More Patience. Some dollars to throw at the problem. Oh yeah, and patience. Our journey to adopt began before we even had the Gaffer. One very short-sighted and pessimistic gynecologist told me I would never, under any circumstances conceive, and if I did manage to do so, … [Read more...]
This will be the last one, I promise
Yes, it's true, this sickness has thrown me into a egomaniacal whirl of complete self-involvement. I cry, I sob, I weep on the phone with my friends. I wake up my husband in the middle of the night because I decide it's unfair that he sleeps so peacefully. I've gone nuts. Today, however, … [Read more...]
Back home
We got home last night after two busy, fun weeks in Calgary. It was great to come home and sleep in our own beds, but sad to leave my loving in-laws out west. The trip was filled with special moments that will become treasured memories. Here's a pic of my father-in-law aka … [Read more...]
