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...

And So It Begins...

It was the worst weekend ever. Friday night was our anniversary - we've been married 4 years! And of course, of all the weekends, this was the weekend we had to clean our rental property to prepare for new tenants. It was one of the grossest thing I've EVER done. It was as if the condo hasn't been cleaned since the building was constructed. It was disgusting. Thank God I have amazing friends who came over and helped us with some pretty horrendous stuff. They are amazing, I know. I owe them my life. I think it was God's way of preparing me to clean and be overwhelmed. Not only that, God is preparing me for sleep deprivation. Needless to say, with the lack of sleep, lack of eating, oh, and lack of sleep - I swear my symptoms got worse this weekend. My boobs feel like they're about a thousand pounds and I want to rip them off because they hurt so much. And my morning sickness has begun. I drove to Calgary with my best friend (which by the way, was a very plea...
