Deciphering The Code
The time has come, and I must say I’ve been looking forward to this stage in Silas life. He’s starting to say more and more things and now he has his own words that aren’t so much…English. So, it’s time to decipher the code! (I feel like I need theme music in this part) I… Continue reading Deciphering The Code
Canucks Game Tonight!
So I read up on it and yes, there is a hormone that comes back into play in your third trimester that can make you ill. Just my luck hey? Last pregnancy I was still barfing everyday at this point so I didn’t notice. I’m not even close to barfing, I’m just feeling icky. I… Continue reading Canucks Game Tonight!
A Case of the Mondays
I’m so stinking tired. So tired, in fact, that I might actually take a nap today. I’m not a big “napper” the last one I took was weeks ago in MB and it actually really made me feel better. It was the perfect length. I’ve been feeling rather nauseated lately as well. Are there weird… Continue reading A Case of the Mondays
Dealing With A Toddler’s Tantrums
I’m a tough love kind of person. I’m very tender and very loving towards people but I’m also a bit tough about certain things, I get it from my mom.

Taking Matters Into my Own Hands
Sometimes you just have to take matters into your own hands. My husband has this problem, his fingers cannot feel a hard mass in muscle tissue therefore he can’t really help me work out my knots in my back. I’m sure there’s a name for this condition of his.

I Love Peeing My Pants?
We had the strangest weather yesterday. When I woke up, we were having freezing rain. I watched as that stopped and then a while later it started to rain and then it started to pour and then suddenly everything was white with hail, then it stopped. The sun shone for a while, it got cloudy,… Continue reading I Love Peeing My Pants?
Hug a Chiropractor
I love my chiropractor! Not in a romantical way of course, just in a “you fixed my body and I love you” way. It’s taken two visits and I’m almost completely fixed of my sciatic and back problems. I still have some hip pain but that’s just my arthritis dealing with my joints being loose… Continue reading Hug a Chiropractor
General Unwellness
Ugh, whatever my husband had last week has now graced my presence. I woke up this morning with a lovely sore throat and just an overall sense of unwellness.

The Conclusion of the Odor
After finishing yesterday’s post I bravely ventured to my closet, opened the door and looked in. The stench really hit me and I was frightened. I thought I would just do a quick surface scan of the closet to see if I could spot what the horrible odor was coming from. I saw shoes and… Continue reading The Conclusion of the Odor
Special Pop
So this morning I faced the dreaded gestational diabetes test. The test where they make you drink this disgusting bring orange pop and then make you sit for a whole hour only to stab you and take your blood. The blood taking is always my favorite part (Ya I’m weird but I totally enjoy it. … Continue reading Special Pop
Bye Bye Boobies
This morning Silas slept through his usual nursing time, I usually will nurse him whenever he wakes up but today I didn’t. I just brought him some toys, put on Black Eyed Peas for him and went back to bed (I love that about my son). He was fine and hasn’t seemed to miss it… Continue reading Bye Bye Boobies
Goodbye Pretty Shoes
It’s time to retire the nice shoes until after baby is born. Instead I need to wear ugly runners or crocs or else my hips will come loose and I’ll topple to the floor in a big heap of pitiful jointpain-ness…hmmm. I got to sing in-front of my entire church today in my nice sweater… Continue reading Goodbye Pretty Shoes
