I can’t believe last night actually ended and it’s morning now. There was a time where I thought I would be stuck in it forever. Brent and I were both a little wired when we got to bed. Perhaps it was a mixture of the Jello I had made and the whole buying a house… Continue reading The Night Is Finally Over!

Attitude Adjustment
I need an attitude adjustment. I know it’s normal for me to not be too terrible excited about this new person I’m about to bring into the world but I feel like I’m letting myself indulge it too much, letting myself entertain negative thoughts about it. Really I’m mainly excited about pumping his legs to… Continue reading Attitude Adjustment
Baby Has Dropped
I’m not too sure what I should do today. I’m incredibly tired! Right now Silas is sitting under his high chair playing with a back massage thingy that he’s taken to be a toy for months now. Laundry needs to be done, the bathrooms need to be done, I need a shower, the vacuum needs… Continue reading Baby Has Dropped
Braxton is a Jerk!
What a nice sunny day. Good thing Silas has white trash garbage bags all over his window because he slept till 7 this morning. Man it makes such a difference!! We’re rather chipper this morning. Right now Silas is on the deck yelling back and forth with the 19 month old who’s on the deck… Continue reading Braxton is a Jerk!
35 Weeks Pregnant!
So today I am 35 weeks pregnant, I can’t believe I am here already. The final stretch has arrived. I’m thinking 5 weeks is not when the baby is coming, I’m thinking a couple of weeks now. My braxton hicks have gotten very weird and I’m feeling a lot of pressure in my bum when… Continue reading 35 Weeks Pregnant!
On the Right Track
So yesterday we got a mortgage approved and this morning I emailed the realtor that we want to use. I was looking on mls.ca and noticed that we can afford a townhouse rather than a condo so I am SUPER excited. Some of the ones in our price range are 1500 square feet with three… Continue reading On the Right Track
MAKE HIM SLEEP!!
How do you teach a toddler to sleep in more? He’s driving me nuts! Any suggestions? We got our two month notice yesterday…AHHHH. that’s all I have for you.
Moving?
Well, it looks like we’re going to have to move soon. They’re turning our apartments into condos so we have to leave. I’m sad because I love this place, it’s very bright and open and it has a interesting layout as well. Plus I love my walk in closet and en suite. I guess this… Continue reading Moving?
One, Two WEEEEEE!!
I’m eating tuna on crackers with pickles. Weird how last pregnancy tuna was a delicacy to me and this pregnancy I only went through like a week-long tuna phase. Now it just tastes like tuna. I need to go grocery shopping. I just spent the morning cleaning so I could relax after my nap and… Continue reading One, Two WEEEEEE!!
A Better Morning
Silas kinda made up for his early morning rising this morning. I’m waking up at around 6 now just because I’m getting used to it…grrrr. Silas woke up about 6:20 but he was actually happy and talking to himself so I just left him until he wasn’t happy. I tried to give him toys but… Continue reading A Better Morning
Husband to the Rescue
You know what? Mini-wheats are incredibly filling. I go through Mini-wheat phases because they really help keep me regular but I do get sick of them. I’m going through a phase now though, I’m always so amazed by how full they keep me. I just thought I’d let you all know that. My husband saved… Continue reading Husband to the Rescue
Missing the Perk.
I need a pillow to scream into, or perhaps a punching bag. It’s 7am and my son has been happily up and about now for about 45 minutes. Whatever happened to crib play time? Where did it go? Why does my child suddenly need me at obscene hours of the morning? He even woke up… Continue reading Missing the Perk.
Silas The Brave
This morning I woke up at 6:30 to a toddler who, again, did not want to play in his crib. Woe is me. We did have an amazing cuddle in my bed which slightly made up for the fact that I was losing out on some precious sleep. Once we were up, I opened the… Continue reading Silas The Brave
Garlic Morning Breath
Goodness, another early morning for me. Silas decided against playing in his crib again this morn so he screamed bloody murder until his very sleepy and very pregnant mother came in to rescue him. He did lay nicely in bed with me for a while, despite my terribly garlicy morning breath…I could taste it…yuck. Since… Continue reading Garlic Morning Breath
17 Months Old
I’m feeling much better today. I hate days like yesterday, they really suck. Silas is 17 months old this week. Time has really flown by since he turned One. His vocabulary continues to grow each day but I don’t think it’s grown as much as it did last month. His incredible memory when it comes… Continue reading 17 Months Old
