Tim is on call yet again. Leaving me home with baby and … mouse. Seriously. Last night I had another mouse encounter. But this one is still at large in the house. Tim is 99.99% sure it went into the laundry room, but since our bedroom is right next to the laundry room (where we [...]

I feel like Tim is always on call. He does 1 in 4 call. It sucks. I miss him. It was -31 today with the windchill. We stayed home. No way am I going out in that kind of cold, let alone taking a baby out. We have things to do tomorrow and Thursday so [...]

I’m sort of obsessed with Colin and stare at the monitor when he is sleeping. Which isn’t a lot because he doesn’t sleep much. Or else he sleeps on me and I stare at his face directly. I love (but in a much lesser way than how I love Colin) pretzels, oatmeal cookies, coffee, Pepsi [...]

Hello my forgotten blog. I fear I have forsaken you for the joys of raising a baby that never sleeps. And who would love nothing more than to eat the computer. I start back to work 2 months from today. I am trying not to get too upset. I love being home with my baby. [...]

I’m glad to find an explanation as to why he was up and needing comforting every hour last night. Makes [...]

Whether it was the vacationing for 2 months a year in Florida with my family, or the spending the rest of the year living in Nova Scotia and being surrounded by the water (literally, it’s a peninsula), I’ve always been a beach person.  I have many happy memories walking beaches and collecting shells or curling [...]

I just bought the Fisher Price Rainforest Jumparoo and it was delivered yesterday. It was super easy to put together and seems pretty sturdy. So far, Colin loves it! The seat is cushy and Doctor Dad loves that it has good back support. The toys are all within reach and easy to play with. There [...]

Now that Colin is 4.5 months old we are pretty settled into our breastfeeding routine. Colin is full of personality.  He is incredibly active and expressive (i.e. his super pout). He is also a bit of a diva in that he wants to get his own way – he doesn’t like to cuddle, be restrained [...]

Colin is now 4 months old! He is doing well – 13 pounds 15 oz and 24 3/4 long. Putting him at 50% for height and 25% for weight.  Bang on considering Tim and I.  And he’s at 75% for head size – me thinks he has his daddy’s brains! He has mastered rolling from [...]
