We got the new highchair today! The first thing he did was try to eat it. Ash turned five months old yesterday. Wowzers.

We took Ash for his first ride in the expensive Graco stroller I bought before he was born. It claimed to be “SUV tough,” which was a big selling point for Clive because of the harsh Canadian winters and the several feet of snow that we’re often plagued with.

Granted, the trail was pretty rugged, […]

I did some serious damage to my butt during labour. Sixteen days later, and the pain is overwhelming. I don’t remember the pain in my tailbone/butt cheeks right after the birth, probably because my va-jay-jay hurt so FUCKING much, but since the swelling and 90% of the pain has subsided in that area, I […]

The baby’s hiccups have decreased from 3-4 times per day to once a day, if even that. It’s a nice break. I notice he gets them shortly after I eat something sugary.
He’s SO big in my belly now, and when I sit crosslegged, it feels like he’s actually sitting in my lap. So much […]

I had a dream last night about my flat stomach. I wonder if I’ll be one of the lucky ones and have my belly come back looking like it used to. I’ve always been confident about my stomach- no matter how much my weight has fluctuated (which it has, a lot), my stomach has (almost) […]

When I should be focusing on things like preparing for birth, I’m not. Instead, I’m having a very hard time sleeping at night, concentrating during the day, and not being able to relax. Ever.
Had I known that moving to Nova Scotia would be so hard on me, I’m not sure I would have. […]

I’m calling a Chiropractor today to set up an appointment so I can have Webster’s Technique performed on me, because this baby won’t stay head down. He’s been head up (or sideways) for a week now, and he’s supposed to be head down and staying head down by now. I want to avoid a c-section […]

We had our second baby shower on Saturday. Lots of people showed up, most of them bearing small gifts (we love small gifts!), including a few toys, hooded towels and lots of clothes. We played no games, thankfully, and it had more of a backyard barbeque feeling than a baby shower- which is exactly […]

We had our first baby shower yesterday. It went very well. Clive’s sister knows how to throw a great party. She’s our favorite person to give presents to because she’s so easily excitable, and says all the right things and is very appreciative of everything anyone does for her. I think I’ll miss […]

I read a lot about receiving blankets. I don’t know what a receiving blanket is! But I hear they’re great for newborns and soaking up extra breast milk from overactive boobs. I’m going to have to make a trip to a Wal-Mart or baby store to actually see what a receiving blanket is. […]
