We had a fun evening at a friends house last night. They have three girls….I am so numb to noise and chaos that I only later realized that we had calmly got through play and dinner with 6 children in the house. 5 being girls. One being not even one. In an earlier life […]

Oh Mama
The other day we received a call from the Doctor in charge of the Rocky Sleep Study that we volunteered to be a part of. Apparently we BOTH had scored rather high for depression when they were keying in our questionnaires. I just laughed. Really…what a freaking surprise. Lack of sleep for a year tends to […]

Still Here, Still Pregnant
Practically JUMPING up and down to shake her out. Granted due date isn’t till next week….but am SO done. Between WEEKS of “false labour” and the panic from the midwives about her being breech, the lack of sleep, heartburn, etc etc….I AM SO DONE. I do love my Midwives..they are awesome.

She Can Sit AND Type Once Again
This is the first time I have actually felt like sitting at the computer for a bit…. On Saturday JUST before heading to a seminar, I pranged something in my back. Sitting in said seminar did not help and I could barely walk by the time it was over…Subsequently, I spent MOST of the weekend […]
Gestational Thoughts

Mom is the Loneliest Number

IT was really awesome. A room full of babies and or heavily pregnant mom’s […]
