And We’re Having A Baby …

June 18, 2013 by Ashley · Leave a Comment

Things are so different in Saskatchewan when having a baby compared to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia where I had the girls. You had one ultrasound, and for $10 you could have a picture of your baby. If you want to find out the gender… well forget about it at your regular ultrasound appointment. Instead you would have to pay a couple hundred dollars to have a 3D ultrasound and to find out the gender.

Instead, here, at 20 1/2 weeks I have had two ultrasounds, and now have 8 pictures of our baby. At no cost! I love looking at the pictures.

My Children, My Life

Their smiling faces, dirty or clean, can make me smile at the worst times. Seeing the joy on their faces, throughout their body at something as simple as finding their favorite toy, watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse or a special treat. There is nothing that can make make me as happy, or sad, as my children do.

Getting Ready for Baby #3

May 31, 2013 by Ashley · 5 Comments

When we got pregnant this time around there wasn’t a whole lot that we already had. When we moved from Nova Scotia we had gotten rid of a lot of stuff. Now we are getting ready for baby #3 by buying things I didn’t think we’d be buying again. At least this time around I know what I want, and more importantly, will need and use.

We do have a crib. We bought one for Brookland when we moved out here.

There are a few favorites and “must” haves that I brought out here with us. Things I couldn’t bear to sell or giveaway. I still have :

our bumbo – I bought it new for Austin
receiving blankets – well used from both girls
newborn – 3 months clothing – used on both of them
cloth diapers [Read more...]

It’s Raining, It’s Pouring

May 27, 2013 by Ashley · 3 Comments

For the last week, I haven’t seen much sun. We are living in the prairies where we are along the top places to have the most sunny days of the year out of the country. Yet, it’s raining this morning! There is a lot of rain in the forecast for this week.

We moved to SK in August. Until October, when we started getting snow, I think I had only one rain day. It rained and rained hard at night though. It was nice, we had beautiful sunny days to enjoy, go outside, travel.

Last week it was cloudy, windy and just not great outside weather. Today it is raining. Raining hard. Yesterday evening I potted all our garden seedling into their containers for the summer and left them outside for the first time. Boy did it rain hard last night.
