I can’t believe it’s been 6+ weeks since I gave birth to Amelia. Seems like eons ago, and yet at the same time it does not seem like it can possibly have been that long. She has changed so much in such a short span, growing and developing into her own little person.
I had my [...]

I think my body is adjusting to being up every two hours, because I’m awake at 7 am, waiting for Amelia to get up for her feeding. It’s nice to have a few quiet minutes in the morning - before I am needed to provide sustenance.
Yesterday our friend Kate came by and took some photos [...]

No baby yet, for those of you who are just dying to know. We had a relaxing evening on Friday, and then a packed day Saturday as we celebrated one of my teammate’s birthdays with a bbq on the south shore. Today I went to our local organic market to stock up some essentials (meat [...]

We also visited some health food stores in search of the german-made biodegradable diapers and baby shampoo, [...]

Last night I had a dream about running. I was still pregnant in the dream, but somehow I was running with minimal effort. It felt awesome (in the dream) and I can’t wait to get back into it (in reality).

This week I am being spoiled with three baby showers. Well, I guess the baby is also being spoiled, since the gifts are for her! Last night the ultimate ladies got together for a casual BBQ hangout session. As usual, there was plenty of story-telling and laughter. Everyone gave me/us one of their favourite books [...]

We used to have this cheer for the Mo West swimteam that included the line “to the top and once we’re there we’ll never stop.” I was reminded of it this morning when my uncle (who is also climbing kili with my dad & bro) sent this pic. My uncle is a professional photographer, so [...]

My Dad & bro are climbing Mount Kilimanjaro this week.
Here’s an email sent from my dad to my mom last night from his blackberry:
“In case u get this we are now at 2nd camp going to bed. It was a 5 hour trek today all uphill. Lack of oxygen started to affect people and I’m [...]

We went to our last wedding of the summer this weekend. We actually have another scheduled, but it is in mid-August and in BC, so it just seems like a little bit too far of a trek for me at around 8.5 months. Plus there is no doubt we will still be settling into the [...]
