We made it safe and sound to Nova Scotia after two full days (12 hours+ each day) of driving. We weren’t involved in any accidents, the cargo unit strapped to our car’s roof behaved as it should have, and we weren’t pulled over for speeding. We only got “lost” a couple of times, and were [...]

This weekend Clive and I took a four-day vacation to Northern-ish Ontario. He caught fish. I didn’t. Instead, I took off my shirt and posed for some 32-week portraits.

Midwife appointment yesterday. The baby flipped back to where he’s supposed to lay sometime in the middle of the night after nearly two full weeks of him being breech! I was told he’s a good size, and his heartbeat is very strong (130s when he’s still, 140s when he’s moving- you get to hear it [...]

I have three days of work this week, and then two days next week. And then I’m done. DONE! Bring on maternity leave! Not a moment too soon, I might add, because I am exhausted.
Clive and I attended an intensive weekend of prenatal classes this weekend (9-4pm Sat & Sun) with a retired nurse/midwife [...]

Throughout my entire pregnancy, I’ve joked about wanting to give birth to kittens (and then have subsequent dreams about actually giving birth to and breastfeeding (!!) kittens), polar bears, puppies and anything else that I find [...]

How much do I love our new bedding? Times a hundred. We’re not going to take it out of the packaging until we get to Nova Scotia, and it’s one of those “adult” things that I’ve always wanted to splurge on, but never have. My current bedding is from Value Village (gross, I [...]

To the person that talks badly about me to people I’ve never met, who says “they’ll never last” throughout the relationship I’ve had with Clive (”they’ll never last” after I followed him out of Mexico, “they’ll never last” after he proposes, and even “they’ll never last” when we tried and succeeded at getting pregnant), even [...]

The woman who came to pick up the suitcases I was selling her (from Kijiji) sneered at the fact that I found out the sex of my baby and said in a disgusted voice, “kids these days.” Clive said that I should have kicked her out and shut the door in her face [...]
