I’ve heard doctors and nurses say that patients are really the best advocates for their care, and as a social worker I believe wholeheartedly in that. Today during my ultrasound I wasn’t scheduled to have growth done on the babies, and knowing that it’s been two weeks, I asked that it be done and I’m […]
I’ve officially made it to 28 weeks and my third trimester! This was my goal so everything after today is gravy! Our little ladies are now about the size of an eggplant and are hopefully around two pounds. I should find out tomorrow what they’re weighing now! They’re pretty much good to go if they […]
Despite the fact that we still don’t have power at home and are spending Christmas as nomads, I’m still thankful to be home. Sure, it’s not as planned but it’s better than being in hospital. Today we were running errands and Buds wanted to hold my hand in the car as we drove around. Is […]
So winter is officially upon us, and so the lovely Mother Nature decided to dump a ton of ice on us. Not cool lady, not cool. Waking up this morning, we had no power, heat, or hot water and downed power wires and trees on either side of us and in the back alley where […]
The other day Buds came home from school with a package wrapped in a red bow and said, “For Mama,” and handed it to me. I pulled off the ribbon and unfolded the package to reveal his beautiful painting, complete with a picture of my little dude in a Santa hat. “Did you make this […]
27 weeks! Another important milestone as soon I’ll be in my third trimester! Here’s hoping that the babies are around 2 pounds, about the size of a rutabaga, if that’s helpful at all to anyone. Also, this means only 5 weeks until our scheduled C-section, crazy! The babies are starting to breathe inside the womb, […]
Naturally when my doctor gave me the ok to head back home for a couple weeks, I was thrilled to get to spend Christmas with my family, and wasn’t thinking much about the state of our house. So, when my husband and I pulled up and Jas turned to me and said, “The house is […]
After a very emotional morning, filled with tears and consultations, my doctor and I have decided that I no longer need to be in the hospital, and I get to go home. At the very least I’ll be home for Christmas, and hopefully will be able to stay home until mid-January. My heart is swollen […]
Jason and Buds paid me a lovely long visit yesterday, coming after breakfast and staying until nap. Buds was also loving his new bus from Santa day at school!
I think it’s a pretty well known fact that hospital food is terrible. It’s definitely hard for a self-described picky person as myself since the options are quite limited. I think I’ve been given 15 cheese sandwiches since I’ve been here. My favourite meal has always been breakfast, I just love myself a big breakfast whether […]
