It just hit me! Next fall we will be having cake three times between September 22nd to October 18th! Starting with Liam on the 22nd of September, Abi is two weeks later on the 6th of October and Chris’s birthday closes things out on the 18th. That’s a lot of cupcakes, luckily Turkey Day is [...]

At 11:13am Master Liam will be one week old. It’s been an easier first week than what we experienced with Abi but it’s still presented it’s own challenges. Abi seems to be adjusting well to her little brother but like every kid she has her moments. We decided on a bit of a babymoon this [...]

My love of bags is well known and mocked, (but that’s okay, I keep a list and those who mock me don’t get knitting!) but my other little love is for knitting project bags beyond the default ZipLoc baggie. You wouldn’t know it from my house but I have a small thing for everything has [...]

But I just want to address an issue that came up in the comments. Liam’s hat…no it’s not a knitted one, it’s the hospital issue one they pop on their heads just after they are born. We did fix that just as soon as he had his first ath a few hours later. So here [...]

I woke up about 1:30am Saturday morning with fairly painful contractions, since we had already had a few dress rehearsals I was reluctant to wake Chris till I was certain so I decided to do the Shower Test to see if they would stop or ease up. I spent about 1/2 an hour in the [...]

It went well. My milk has come in and I’m definitly my mum’s daughter in the dairy category. We would have been highly valuable wet nurses!  All her babies left the hospital at least a lb. heavier than our birth weight and she was also expressing extra to send up to the NICU for the [...]

I’ll give you a hint: Liam Nathan was born Staurday September 22nd at 11:13 in the morning in super fast style (will give the gory details in a later post). We are back home and other than a little tired around the edged are all doing quite well.

Seeing as I’m a bit of a type A personality (stop giggling those of you who have seen my house!!!It’s for that very reason I like to call my self a chaotic Type A), I’m gathering together some knitting just in case I do end up being induced on Tuesday and need to keep myself [...]

Hold off for a few moments on that sip of whatever, I wouldn’t want to be responsible for a computer screen getting a shower. I came across this article, which of course linked over to the original. Seems a bit of an overreaction but after some of the stories I have heard from medical professionals [...]

That’s where I’m at. If I haven’t gone into labour by Monday we have an appointment to be induced on Tuesday.
