Cameron and I are finally home after visiting family for three weeks (Hubs came home a week earlier while the bubby and I spent the last week at my parent’s house in NB). It was a nice trip, but I learned a few things about travelling with a baby: specifically that babies do NOT like…

Mommy Cut
Last time I got my hair cut was August ’09. AUGUST! I had found out in June that I was pregnant and by August I was just about to be interviewed for a new job. Unfortunately, I had long blond hair with ridiculous brown roots that only appeared even reasonably presentable in a ponytail. Now…
Mommy’s Day
It has been almost a full week since Mother’s Day, and although I have meant to blog about it, there has been no blog. I’ve been in Toronto living in a cave for a week, so I have an excuse. (Seriously! Who doesn’t have Internet in their house?). My first Mother’s Day wasn’t how I…
Mommy Must-Haves
I am currently in Toronto with very limited access to the internet. I’ll try to get a blog post up soon, but here is the first post of my “Mommy Must-Haves”, a review of some of the items that have been so useful to me during my short time as a Mom. On Saturday, Cameron…
Mommy Heartbreak
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…
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…
