Irrational Fears

Posted by: typealice In: Daily| Gillian| I <3 Clive

I watched Catch and Release the other night and got freaked out enough by the concept of suddenly losing my partner to call up the lodge where Clive is staying to make sure they checked in several days earlier. I haven’t heard from him since Friday afternoon, which is pretty out of character [...]

Do You Believe in Aliens?

Posted by: typealice In: Family| Gillian

Is anyone else watching Fire in the Sky on the History channel? This movie freaks me out! I know I’ve mentioned it before, but nothing scares me like aliens. And I believe they’re totally out there.

I hope I’m never abducted by aliens. I would like to meet someone who claims they have been [...]

Six Months Gone

Posted by: typealice In: Baby| Daily| Design| Fishing| Gillian| I <3 Clive| Travelling

Well, today marks the beginning of Week 24! I’m basically six months pregnant. Only 16 weeks to go. That’s 112 days, according to my ticker:

That means, it’s almost time to officially start freaking the hell out. He’s almost ripe for the pickin’! Last night when he was moving around, I put my [...]

Another Knotch on the Ol’ “Internet Fame” Belt

Posted by: typealice In: Gillian| Links

Those who know me really well know that my favorite celebrity is Rosie O’Donnell. I know it’s unusual; I can’t explain it- she’s been my favorite for years. When the Rosie O’Donnell show ended I was honestly upset. Hearing that she was coming back on The View- I was thrilled! Turns out I’d only watch [...]

Baby Kicks!

Posted by: typealice In: Baby

I think the baby likes laying with his back facing outwards, feet pointing to the ground, and by “ground” I mean “bladder.” Because he prefers this position, it’s actually rare that I get to see him move. Today was one of the few afternoons where he switched around and I was able to [...]

I love TV

Posted by: typealice In: Daily| Gillian

I hate this time of year when all of our regular television shows end. Goodbye Survivor, I wish that Yau-Man would have won. Goodbye America’s Next Top Model (season finale tonight), I really don’t care who wins because I’m not a fan of any of you. The L Word ended a couple of months ago, [...]

Moving Plans

Posted by: typealice In: Baby| Daily| Gillian| Travelling

I’ve started doing some research on our upcoming move to Nova Scotia. First, WOW, it’s going to be a long drive. I’ll be nearly eight months pregnant at this point, and I already need to pee every 45 minutes (or less) and I’m only five and a half months pregnant. We have three options:

Adult diapers
Portable [...]

Mother’s Day 2007

Posted by: typealice In: Gillian| I <3 Clive

Happy Belated Mother’s Day, mamas!

Yesterday was my first mother’s day. Clive ordered me something special online (I had to pick it out though, which means I’ll like it!), but it hasn’t arrived yet, sadly.

Clive gave me the chuck taylors I’ve wanted since I was 15 and saw Kurt Cobain wearing them. YAY! He [...]

I just came back from my monthly midwife appointment. As usual, I am glowing. I love hearing that heartbeat! I am already looking forward to my next appointment. My midwife is so wonderful; I’m actually really upset that I’m not giving birth in London because I think she would just be so great to have [...]

Automobile History

Posted by: typealice In: Gillian

The baby has had the hiccups a lot recently. It’s a weird, weird feeling… some people refer to it as feeling like a nervous tick, but for me, it’s a wakeup call that there’s actually someone else in there. This baby making business is some weird shit.
We picked up the car last night! I [...]

About

I'm Gillian, a Nova Scotian woman with a son named Ash (born 09/07) and a wife to Clive. I am what they call an Attachment Parent; I breastfeed, wear my baby as much as possible, cosleep, cloth diaper and practice elimination communication. I have very strong parenting views. We are raising Ash as an organic vegetarian. I care about the environment and do what I can to reduce my carbon footprint and set a good example for others, especially my child.

I'm proudly drug free, but can't say that I have always been. My early 20s were comprised mostly of travelling- I've lived and worked everywhere from West Africa to the Caribbean. I currently run AP Mamas, a site dedicated to attachment parenting and G Slings, my sustainable sling company.
