Peeing

Well, the good news is that I don't think I'm going to pee out the baby this time.

So that's good right?

That's all.

Birthday Again? Now You're Ten!

Dear Mackenzie, There was a time where I really contemplated whether I wanted to have kids. Your 2 older sisters seemed enough, and so I sat on that decision for a few years.  When they say you're never actually going to be ready, they weren't wrong. We think we have all the ducks in a row and life experiences that prepped us into being great parents. But honestly, no books, no workshops, no seasoned moms could prepare new parents on what is to come. And so, whether I was ready or not, I woke up over a decade ago and thought, "I think having a baby might not be a bad idea".  Then somehow, we thought it'd be a good idea to move to another province at 38 weeks pregnant. We had a little chat that you wouldn't slip out on our 12-hour drive. Then you had to wait again after Auntie Amanda and Uncle Dan's wedding. Every step of the way, you listened.  That's how the last 10 years have been really. You walked within the lines and you always listened. I am grat...

Been Awhile

Well, it's been awhile. Mackenzie is walking (no, running) everywhere and getting into everything. She's down to one nap a day most days for about 2.5 hours. She's down to 2 breastfeeds a day and just drinking whole milk the other times. She eats...well, not enough. But she's happy, she's active, and she tugs at your heart like no other. Yup, we're in so much trouble. How do you discipline your child when they're being so charming and you're trying to be serious but trying not to laugh at the same time? It's a really good time right now because Mackenzie is like a sponge learning everything so fast. We really have to watch what we say, what we watch, and what we teach her. Because she can pick it up just like that. Having a kid really makes you take a step back, doesn't it? I'm constantly in awe of the fearlessness of kids. Mackenzie included. She's not afraid of anything. She will fall, pick herself up, and try again. Gosh, I...

RIP Hailey Dunbar-Blanchette

Today, the world lost a bright little soul. It's hard to imagine what kind of person could be so heartless. We want to believe the good in the world. But news like this...it breaks out hearts, it jades us a little bit more than the last tragedy. Tonight, my Facebook news feed was full of sadness about Hailey. It didn't matter that it had been shared so many times already, it didn't matter that everyone already knew - we shared anyway. And then I was reminded of this quote: "When I was a boy, I would see scary things in the news. My mother would say to me, "look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping." - Fred Rogers And that is what Hailey reminded me tonight. That in the midst of evil, we all gathered the last 2 days to share the amber alert. We all shared the same hope in helping to find her. Not many of us knew how to help except by spreading the news. It seemed so trivial, only it brought thousands of people together. We a...
