So today was a rough day for us (and I won’t even mention the parking ticket I got). This morning, Cam-the-man and I got up and left the house on our way to go to the doctor’s office. You see, on Thursday, Cameron will be two months old. That means that Cameron needed his first…
The Cutest Thing Ever
I might have mentioned it before, but I LOVE being a Mom. I always knew that I would love to have a baby, but I never imagined it being this great. Sure, there have been some frustrating moments, but my little boy has recently figured out how to show me that it’s all worth it:…
Tweet Little Baby
Well, I’ve been a mom now for 6 weeks and 5 days. I am the happiest I have been in years because I am so in love with my little guy. I love being a mom. That being said, it is really hard to find time to myself so this blog has been neglected. I’m…
Beautiful Belly
Oh slightly less pregnant Laura – why didn’t you bite your tongue? Instead, now you’re chomping on foot. And trust me, that’s not easy while being 39 weeks pregnant. Does anyone remember when I was so proud of myself for not having stretch marks? I was so sure that I was going to avoid this…
On being married to a Dad
I’ve always known I’ve never been good with stairs. I trip going up them and I trip going down them. Guess what? Believe it or not, this gets worse with a big pregnant belly making it difficult to see my feet. Last night, I was reminded to watch out for stairs, once more. I spent…
Photogenic Bub
Are you ready? Are you ready to see the most beautiful baby in the world (at least to me)?! On Saturday, December 5th, we had our 3D/4D ultrasound appointment at UC Baby. Dan and I went and met my Mom and Dad and little sister there. What was so wonderful was that my other sister,…
Blame it on the Hormones
I have been planning to update my blog recently, but it has been difficult. I spend all day at work on a computer and this has aggravated if not caused some pain in my arm, shoulder and back which makes it difficult for me to come home in the evening and spend more time on…
A Violet by Any Other Name (Poll)
Dan and I have been thinking about baby names lately. Since we have decided to not find out our baby’s sex, we need to come up with both boys and girls names. I have a few requirements for the perfect baby name: It can’t be weird or made-up sounding It can’t be super-popular (http://www.babynamesgarden.com/top100.aspx) I…
Getting Ready
This weekend was a big step in getting ready to be new parents. I think my “nesting” is finally starting to kick in, although I don’t really have the time or the space to start. We certainly got off to a good start this weekend though! We ordered a crib and a matress for the…
Peek-a-Boo
This week contained a rollercoaster of emotions for me. It was wonderful and frustrating all at the same time. I had been looking forward to Monday October 19th for a very long time. This was my ultrasound date. I have yet to have an ultrasound, even though some people get one much earlier. I have…
Fuming
Yesterday, Halifax Regional Council unanimously passed a vote to ban smoking in hundreds of outdoor areas within HRM last night. My husband, being a libertarian (think, almost anarchist but not quite), believes that this is a BAD idea that infringes on civil liberties. My thoughts: Thank Goodness! As someone who has never smoked a cigarette, I get very angry…
