GAH!!! I’ve been such a bad blogger lately! I’ve been so absorbed with sick kids and a really good book series that I’ve abandoned you. I’m so sorry. I don’t think there’s been a week in the last month where I haven’t had a child home with me. Silas’ eye thing, fevers, coughs, more fevers,… Continue reading I Abandonded You

12 Weeks Pregnant!
I can’t believe I’m 12 Weeks Pregnant already!! Ahhh! It’s almost time to say goodbye to the first trimester and morning sickness and hello to food and backaches. Getting out of this trimester is making this all seem a lot more real to me. The bump is looking a lot more like an end of… Continue reading 12 Weeks Pregnant!
Getting Excited for Baby
Crap, I’m already teary. I think the excitement of this baby really hit me today. Like I’ve said before. We never felt like it was the responsible thing to do to have another child. Silas took most of our energy and what was left was meant for Isaac. And that’s what we did. We didn’t… Continue reading Getting Excited for Baby
The Case of the Swollen Eye
Yesterday after school I noticed Silas’ eye was a bit red. A while after we got home it had started swelling and by this morning it was almost swollen shut. So, most of my morning was spent waiting to get in to the walk in. Thankfully you can go and get your name on the… Continue reading The Case of the Swollen Eye
Autism Update
Silas and his autism used to be the main topic of choice on this blog and over time it’s slowly changed again. I thought it would be time to give you an autism update so you can see how the little gaffer is doing. How is he doing? AMAZING!! Our lives don’t feel ruled by… Continue reading Autism Update

The rules of this award are to write seven things about yourself and then pass this along to other bloggers. Since she took most of the bloggers I’ve been following, and since some of the blogs I want to… Continue reading Very Inspiring Blogger Award
Telling The Kids We Are Pregnant
Since my kids are older, I just couldn’t wait for the time where we would be telling the kids we are pregnant. Telling Silas I was pregnant with Isaac didn’t mean much. He was 10 months old and completely oblivious to my pregnancy. He obviously doesn’t have a memory without his brother. They’re so much… Continue reading Telling The Kids We Are Pregnant
Sickness on Top of Morning Sickness
Uggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Being sick on top of morning sick is stupid. Germs should have a universal law forbidding them to touch a pregnant woman…or a new mother…ok maybe just mother’s in general. I’m coughing and coughing and now my sinuses are hurting and I’m a wimpy sick person and I’m already sick and now I’m just… Continue reading Sickness on Top of Morning Sickness
Pregnancy Dreams
So I’m kind of enjoying all these wacky dreams that come along with pregnancy. I usually don’t remember them or the details but now it’s like I’m living two lives. Real life and dream land. Pregnancy dreams ROCK. I don’t remember them being like THIS. I think my dream last night was partly me processing… Continue reading Pregnancy Dreams
Making a Person
There have been many people that have witnessed me saying that there’s no way I would ever ever ever have a baby again. There’s also been blogs about how I feel like I can’t because Silas took up so much of our lives and that I was scared we would make someone else with autism.… Continue reading Making a Person

Americans and Guns: From a Canadian Perspective
I grew up around guns. I was very young when I went hunting with my father. I remember sitting on a moose as he gutted it, asking what parts we could eat and what parts the birdies will eat. It was very natural and very normal. My father actually became a firearms safety course teacher… Continue reading Americans and Guns: From a Canadian Perspective
This Loss is Just Too Big
It’s hard to know what to blog about after Friday happened. I spent the entire day in tears, just counting down the minutes where I could see my children again. Thankfully I was able to go early to help them with their gingerbread houses and I just couldn’t stop squeezing them. My eyes were heavy… Continue reading This Loss is Just Too Big
Where Do Babies Come From????
As parents, we are all faced with this question eventually: “where do babies come from?”. We then break out in a cold sweat, was start to stutter, we panic, we don’t know what to say!!! Ok, maybe not…cuz I’m kind of OK with that conversation with my kids and I’m sure that means a lot… Continue reading Where Do Babies Come From????
The Day I Lost My Shit on a Very Old Man in Dollarama
I am not a confrontational person. I really wish I was but I hate it too much. Instead of my flipping out on a person…I’ll just forgive them and move on…and sometimes when I’m alone I’ll recite all the things I’d REALLY like to say to them. I don’t really push my feelings down, I… Continue reading The Day I Lost My Shit on a Very Old Man in Dollarama
