Ok so here is the story of how my precious girl arrived. On friday I was 12 days over due, my doctor decided that we had to get something going so i went into the hospital and they did some "digging" decided that I was 2cm still ( I had been since monday) so there wasnt any promise of me going on my own any time soon. They slapped some of that gel in there that is supposed to get stuff going... and BOY DID IT EVER. I pretty much started having contraction on the drive home. ... they got more and more intense as the afternoon went on and by 1 oclock my contractions were like 3 minutes apart. we went back to the hospital and they checked again... still only 2 cm.... i got sent walking for 2 hours.... still only 2cm but the contractions were getting worse and worse. Anyway by like 5 i still hadnt made any progress so I got a little shot of somethin somethin which REALLY helped me to rest and relax and an hour later i was 6 cm and they broke my water. After a LONG night they turned off the epidural so i could feel to start pushing. and MAN i felt it ! Long story short my little girl came out March first around 8 am... labour was ok with the drugs i just rested and chilled out the whole time. delivery was the worst pain imaginable but SSOOOOOO worth it when they handed me my little girl.

Our stay in the hospital was OK, we were definetly ready to come home though on Monday. I almost died when they said we would have to stay longer (they thought she had jaundice, but it turned out not to be) I love love love being home with her, i cant stop looking at her, I am so in love I cant believe that I ever lived with out her! Davis and I couldnt be happier if we tried!

Thanks everyone for the well wishes and love! Cant wait for her to meet people! We are up to visitors anytime! Love all of you!

(I would put up pictures but I am not on my own computer right now... next one though)

Happy Valentines Day!


Great Valentines Day for us here, I woke up and Davis was allready gone for school but there were these great roses waiting for me on the table along with some other tasty treats!
I made Indian food for dinner and it was so good! we had planned on going to a movie also but we got to the theatre and there was a line up going outside and down the side walk, we didnt feel like waiting out side for 30 minutes in the cold so we came back home and we are going to go another time instead.

This is the card that I made for Davis, along with his gift of favorite things, this is our third Valentines Day together and it has gone by so fast! We still cant believe that we have been together that long!

No baby yet! only 3 more days until my due date, we are definetly getting excited for this baby to come!!

It's almost baby time!



38 weeks down, 2 more to go!!

It is down to crunch time here in our little family! We have everything we need for new baby Podeszwa, we just have to get it all set up and ready for use! We are so excited for this baby to come out but I am also looking forward to having the next 2 weeks be all about relaxing, naps, bubble baths and pretty much just spoiling my self!

I feel so blessed, I have really had a great pregnancy (other than the first few months of sickness all the time) I do have trouble sleeping sometimes, and Im slightly uncomfortable some days but other than that I dont have any back problems or swelling etc. AND NO STRETCH MARKS!!! (call me vain but that might be the best one!)

Davis has been the absolute BEST husband ever through this whole thing, he gives me a foot rub every night and takes such good care of me! Thanks babes! Hope all you girls have a great man like him!!

We will definetly update as we get closer and after the baby comes!

Baby shower!

We just had a baby shower at JJs place on saturday! It was so much fun, and really got me excited for buying more baby stuff after the little "rib kicker" is born ! There were lots of pictures taken but in most of them I have a really weird look on my face for some reason ... i always do that, which makes me wonder if I always have a strange look on my face or is it only when I know a camera is pointing at me? oh well. So glad so many of you could come and for anyone who didnt come we are going to have another baby party after the baby is born! A "zero birthday" if you will. so you are all definetly invited to come to that and come meet the baby.
Only 3 more weeks until the baby is due and I really cant wait to see this kid! Some days I think its a boy and other days I think its a girl, but most days I really have no idea. I am also excited to see wether it will look more white or more polynesian .. should be interesting!
Also a question for the girls with new babys ... I am getting my stuff ready for the 'hospital bag' do you guys have any suggestions about what to put in there? I have all the basic stuff that i will need but just from experiance what would you girls suggest?

Good-bye 2007 ** Hello 2008 !!


Hope Everyone had a great Holiday! We are glad we got to see so many of you while you were here! Wish we could see you all more often!

2007 was great for us! new baby in the tummy for me! We moved back to Halifax and got all settled with a new apartment and new jobs! Back to school for Davis at Dalhousie and so much more fun stuff! We have alot to look forward to this coming year, obviously the most exciting being the baby coming in February!


New Years Eve at Dougs was great, we had fun playing games, and even though the girls totally CREAMED the guys in settlers, overall the guys won the night and now the girls have to cook supper for the guys.... really its probably better that way .... Davis is a pretty good cook, but Im not so sure about the rest of them... ;) just kidding guys.


Well happy new year everyone! Hope you all had as great a year as we did!!
