The past few days there’s been a familial effort in our attempts to work on the baby’s nursery before she arrives!  Unfortunately due to crappy lighting and lack of sunlight into the bedroom we haven’t been able to snatch any decent pictures but I think its coming along beautifully!  First Danny came in and drew [...]

At the end of this the 35th week of my pregnancy I will be more pregnant that I have ever been! I am just a 4 days shy of the time my induction with Jacob began due to an amniotic fluid complication. So far it seems we are not having those same complications in this [...]

I’ve often heard people refer to themselves as “nesting” at the end of their pregnancies but I didn’t experience this with Jacob perhaps because I went early. For the past few days Mike has commented several times that he thinks I’m “nesting” unknowingly because I’ve been making lists and we’ve been slowly starting to get [...]

Since I’ve been off work I have been trying to make sure I get in an afternoon nap whenever Jacob is asleep so that I can rest and be ready when its time for the baby to come home but over the past week and a half I just haven’t been able to find the [...]

Thanks to some generous family members we were able to get two special items for ourselves for Christmas via the famous Canadian Boxing Day Sales! Our TV was losing its life so we upgraded to a new Sony Bravia 40 inch LCD HDTV….needless to say Mike was a very happy man…I mean what guy wouldn’t [...]

We had a fabulous Christmas day that was filled with relaxation and family time! Jacob had a blast opening presents this year and definitely LOVED his train set from Mommy, Daddy, Nana & Papa! It was such a nice quiet day (aside from the roar of the PlayStation 3 that Daddy and Papa were playing) [...]

We’ve had a pretty busy day overall so there is not much time left to write today, however I wanted to give a little update about what was going here for us. We had a great night tonight at my Dad’s house where Jacob was treated to several really awesome presents including a new sled, [...]

It looks like we are definitely in for a very white Christmas which is a nice change from the past few years. I can’t remember the last time we had a city full of the cold white stuff on Christmas morning and I think its just perfect. Last weekend while Mike and I attempted to [...]

29 days to go until the c-section date and I’m not stressing about it too much. There is still a lot to do in the baby preparation department but I feel like since this is our second child it’s all a “been there done that” type of feeling and we’ve got nothing to worry about. [...]

Yesterday was our first Christmas get together of the year and I think it went off without a hitch. Mike and I hosted the annual Johnson Christmas dinner and I’ve got to admit that in the morning I had thoughts of “what was I thinking being 34 weeks pregnant and hosting a big dinner” but….it [...]
