"LITTLE B"...MAKES...THREE!!



Do not adjust your computer screen. What you're seeing is true...we'd like to virtually introduce you to "Little B"...the newest member of our family! You will need to wait another 6 months before you can officially meet him/her...so for now you will just have to follow all of "Little B's" adventures via the blog! 


He/she has been busy growing over the past 11 weeks and will continue to do so over the  months ahead. His/her anticipated arrival is on or around October 22, 2012.


So far things have been going well - despite the fact that I have felt quite sick this time around. I've basically had 24 hour a day 7 day a week nausea for the past four weeks - something I didn't experience with Charlotte and Jacob. On top of that I've also been extremely tired - but that could also be the result of being back at work and keeping up with two very active 15 month olds! My OB says both symptoms should pass within the next few weeks. I'll be holding him to that or else.....


So....I invite you to join us on this latest adventure we are embarking on. It's no doubt going to be a wild ride.....stay tuned for more adventures of "Little B" soon...

HAPPY 15 MONTH "BIRTHDAY" CHARLOTTE AND JACOB

It has been another busy month in our house - so busy in fact I've missed posting Charlotte and Jacob's 15 month "birthday" update by two days! The kids are filled with endless amounts of energy and are keeping us on our toes. From March 1 to March 31 Charlotte and Jacob have:

  • Started to take steps "independently": Jacob took off first last Sunday and each day adds a few more steps to his walking repertoire! He kind of looks like a cowboy with cement feet but he is so proud of himself every time he "walks". He has even mastered getting up on his own from a sitting position. It is only a matter of time before he'll be off and running! Charlotte has also taken a few steps as well but still seems to prefer crawling over walking. She does get competitive if she sees Jacob up and walking and hears us cheering him on! It's kind of funny to see.
  • Found the sky: Both Charlotte and Jacob have discovered the sky and love to point at it when you ask them where it is. They also know to look to the sky when you ask them where an airplane is! 
  • More babbles: Jacob can say "guy" (which means sky)
  • Started swimming again: We signed up for the Spring session at Brown Community Centre - the kids were so excited to get in the pool last Saturday they didn't stop splashing and blowing bubbles (aka drinking water) until we got out half an hour later! They are very comfortable in the water and love to kick, splash and jump from the side
  • Watched mommy start a new job: I left eHealth Ontario on March 16 and started at St. Michael's Hospital as a Senior Communications Adviser on March 19
  • Made it harder to get a good "birthday" picture: The kids don't sit still for too long so it is getting harder to get a good picture of them. As you'll notice in this picture - I caught them between "crying" fits. They were a little out of sorts this afternoon.  
  • Enjoyed visits with friends - today we got to meet our friend Ian and Kim's little girl Madelaine and catch up with her older sister Sydney when they dropped by before heading back to London

  • Activities outside the house: Walks in the neighbourhood, drop in centre time and swimming
