Adjusting...:)

As you can see, Evan has taken a shine to his little brother and then some. He said all along he wanted to be a big helper and so far, he has been just that. It has taken some getting used to, what with having to make sure the boys see their dads, but all in all, things are going well. Evan turned 7 2 weeks ago and I can't believe how the years have passed. He won the spelling bee at his school, and tells me he will be competing in another against other schools this coming Friday. I could not be more proud. And Noah will be 3 weeks old on Wednesday already. I wish there was just one day I could slow down time. The older I get, the faster it seems to go. As the old song goes, time marches on...

A Moment to Breathe...

So the last week ar so has been a haze of activity, but I finally have a moment to catch up while one sleeps and the other is at school. Noah David was born on Wednesday April 15th at 11:15 am weighing in at 7 lbs 1 oz and measuring 18.5 inches in length. He was worth every minute of the 4.5 hrs spent in labour. Evan is ecstatic and is an excellent big brother. He turns 7 today, and it makes me kinda melancholy to know that time is not going to slow down any. A few pics to post, I am sure as time goes by, there will be lots more!

10 Days to Go

I am officially ready...got everything I need ( I think) and now it is just a matter of playing the waiting game. A game for which I have not a lot of patience I must say! In the meantime, I am taking Evan to the movies this afternoon as he did very well on his report card and I figure he deserves a mom and me day before the new one enters the world. He is very excited and last night he informed me that my belly makes a very good pillow...:)

3 Weeks to Go

With little more than 3 weeks to go, I figure I better finally get my ass in gear and get what I need...I have a crib, stroller and an exersaucer that were all given to me, but I still need a few other things. Realistically, this kid could come any day, as at 37 weeks it is considered full term. Boy, even writing that scares the crap out of me! Things are good, heart rate is usually about 144 or so, what that means in terms of boy or girl in regards to old wives tales, not sure. So long as it is healthy, it does not matter. Will keep you posted as time draws near...

The Final Countdown

So with little more than 5 weeks to go, I can tell you I am getting scared. Not so much of the labour and delivery(been there, done that) but at the prospect of starting all over again. Monday will mark the beginning of my last week at work before I begin maternity leave and although I look forward to spending time with Evan, it means that the new arrival is not far off. I am slowly putting things together and with not much room to spare in a 2 bedroom apartment. Thankfully, I have a good support system behind me and people have been more than kind in passing off baby items they no longer need. I will keep you posted as the time draws near.

WOOHOO!!!

I am goin to see Kenny! Big day is August 19th in Ottawa and I am so excited I could jump on Oprah's couch! In other news, things are going well. Baby is due in 8 weeks and as of March 13th, I will be on maternity leave. Although I will be sad to leave my job(yes, really!) I am looking forward to spending some much needed one on one time with Evan before the new arrival. As things get closer, I will keep you informed...:)

Guess Who's Coming to Canada....

Yup, that's right. Kenny is coming to Canada. He will be playing Ottawa and Toronto in August and I HAVE to go. See, a few years back when all the proverbial shit was hitting the fan in my marriage, Kenny and I made a lot of trips up and down the highway between Timmins and North Bay. Besides, he is not exactly hard to look at... So anybody who can give me info on ticket sales will become a friend for life. Wheeeee!!!!
