Things I Forgot About Pregnancy

May 20, 2013 by · 1 Comment

There are somethings that I had happily forgotten about being pregnant. So I guess it’s partly true that in order to do it all over again you have to forget somethings. I’m sure these are different for every woman and/or pregnancy.

  • Random nausea and sickness. My first two pregnancies I knew what my triggers were, this time it is completely random.
  • Sore boobs. Yup, I forgot how sore they got, putting on a bra is a whole new adventure.
  • Exhaustion. I forgot about it. I really did. What made me think I could chase a preschooler and toddler while pregnant and my head in a bucket? Not to forget the insomnia, I am awake for 2-3 hours in the middle of night, most nights.
  • How often I need to pee. [Read more...]

Getting a Garden Ready

May 18, 2013 by · 2 Comments

Last year we spent a lot of time and money on our garden and greenhouse. We were all involved in the process. From digging the ground, getting the rocks out of it, planting, watering and weeding. Only to have to leave it. Without enjoying any of our hard work. So this year I am doing things differently.

We are going to try something different this year.

We are going to attempt a container garden. More than one container. So far we have some cucumbers and carrots started. Last year we bought cucumber plants not seeds, this year the girls and I planted seeds. Boy have some of them grown. We really need to get them into bigger containers. Hopefully sometime this week I’ll get into town to get some, and some dirt.

This is Our Dog, Luca

We have a dog. We have had him for just over 5 1/2 years now, Hubby and I have been together for almost 6 years. He was our first “baby”. He was a surprise to say the least, we weren’t necessarily expecting “him”. Here is his story.

We adopted him from a SPCA in Newfoundland. They were flying his litter to Nova Scotia to a SPCA/foster home to increase their chances of being adopted. We had picked out a pretty little puppy, brown and black, a Labrador, Rottweiler, German Shepherd mix. Quite a mix.

I had to drive to the airport to pick our puppy up, a 3 hour drive that I had never made before and had to do alone ’cause Hubby was working.  [Read more...]

Reveal #2: Can You Guess?

May 13, 2013 by · 8 Comments

We are very happy to announce that we are expecting baby number three! Did you guess it? I know there are some people that probably did and were waiting for it.

We're expecting

We are now 16 weeks. Much farther along than when we told people with the girls but Hubby was determined that we were waiting this time. He wanted to wait until July! I’m lucky I held it in until now. Beyond ready to bust with excitement. [Read more...]
