Baby WILL come soon. We ran into a couple at the midwife’s yesterday – she was due about the same time and her baby came 2 weeks early. Barb doesn’t think baby will come for at least another …
At long last! We’re creating physical spaces in our home for our sweet little wiggler. This past Saturday we finally fully tackled the office – the place had been overcrowded, cluttered and disorganized with papers, books and supplies from both me and M. Not good for efficient work, and not a place I loved being …
M & I went to our second course of the week – St. John Ambulance course called “Save That Child” – basic first aid for infants and children. It had been a while since either of us took a first aid course, so it was a very helpful refresher. We reviewed how to deal with …

Sunday started slowly but built up pace as we moved through the day. Particularly after dinner, as we kept motoring through tasks until almost 10:00 at night. I found it quite challenging to relax and be okay with a slower pace during the day, as we had ambitious and necessary plans to get a lot …
One of the biggest things we still need to figure out before baby comes is sleeping arrangements. Simple question – complex calculations. We were given a free crib a while ago, but it didn’t seem appealing – and wouldn’t fit in our bedroom. Some of the considerations we’re going through include: 1) Our sleeping preferences. …
