Mason's Milestones
Is what this blog should be called. I'm finding each day he does something new and Mommy is sooo excited! :)
Every morning when Mason announces he's awake and I go into the room I am greeted with the biggest smiles and coos (so great!). We have a little chat and today Mason showed his grasp re…
Attention preggos!
Do not, I repeat, do not wear any favorite clothes while you are in the later stages of your pregnancy. Seems like a no-brainer but I wore my beloved cotton boxer shorts right to the end and now they are way too big. My big 'ol belly stretched the crap out of them. I seriously didn't lose that mu…
We made it to 3 months!
It was my intention to write this on Mason's 3 month 'birthday' but I got so busy, I forgot!
So my little man turned 3 whole months on May 21st! Time really does fly and I can't keep saying that enough. Here are some of the things Mason has experienced in the last month:
Cloth vs disposable
Before Mason was born, Clayton and I decided that we didn't want to contribute to adding more plastic to our landfills. I researched a few diaper services in the Lower Mainland and chose the best value for our money.
We are now into 3 months of using the cloth diapers and I thought I would share …
Give me a hand!
Today Mason realized that he has hands! Actually Clayton saw it before I did (he said last week).
Cry Baby
Today Mason's tears came in! Just one out of his right eye!
This was taken at our photo shoot on May 2nd!
Here is an article on why newborns do not cry -Click Here
Busy Busy Mommy!
I've once again neglected my little blog but hey I have a good excuse! My Boss is pretty demanding and I don't have a lot of free time after work...well work never really ends being a Mommy does it?
So since last post -
Spring hasn't quite 'sprung' yet!
The subject is in reference to the odd weather we've been having lately. Snow? in March!?
So since I last wrote:
Uncle Ryan's Visit - Clayton's best friend and Mason's namesake (middle name) arrived by plane on March 20th and Mason was very excited to meet his Uncle! Having Ryan stay with us ov…
Getting to know Mason
Sometimes I really do feel like a stork dropped off this beautiful little baby I call my Son. I was present for the birth lol and remember most of it (cept for sleeping after the epidural) but the whole experience is still so amazing that it's hard to believe it's real! When Mason was first born, …
What no one told me about being a new Mum
As I was out driving, I was thinking about how I tired I am and some of the things I have experienced over the past 18 days (Mason is 18 days old!) and thought that I'd blog a list so I can chuckle years down the road and of course share the list with my preggo readers!
What no one told me about be…
What I've learned in 11 days
I've been a bit busy but have been meaning to write my first experiences of being a new Mum. I can't believe 11 days have already flown by! Since it's been so long, I'm going to do point form instead of trying to recall each day (would be impossible anyhow!)
Leaving the Hospital
Mason says "Hello World!!"
Mason's Birth Story
Thursday
Daily routine was to get up around 11am, do some light housework, eat and then take Hershey the doggy to the park for his run. I sat by a tree as the weather was quite nice and then decided after a while it was time to head home. As I was walking across the street,…
Last day of being pregnant?
I've been a bit slack on upating the 'ol blog as not much has really happened, well until Monday that is.
Monday was another pre-natal appointment and an exciting one at that as the Doctor asked me if I wanted my cervix checked for dilation, of course I said yes! 2cm he told me, which was a bit su…
Work no more
I still haven't gotten over the fact that I don't have to go to work Monday...or Tuesday or the whole week until Feb 2010. How crazy is that? The most I've ever taken off is 3 weeks and that was to go travel. I keep thinking work is going to call me on Monday and ask where I am! So with that sa…
Tick tock
Obsessive with dates, March 2nd creeps closer and closer and I get more excited as each day passes. The first milestone was the end of work weeks and the start of Mat leave. Tomorrow is my last day in the VC office and hopefully in 11 months or so I can work from home. I am happy that I am an org…
Almost there...
I realized that I didn't write last week and that's because I thought I had. I actually wrote a private post which was a letter to Mason. I talk to him constantly however I wanted something in writing to describe what I've felt about the events over the past 7 months. I'm not sure if I'll ever sh…
From Mommy to Mason
Monday, January 12th, 2009
Dearest Little Boy,
I am laying here feeling you kick your little feet inside my tummy which prompted me to write you. I always knew I wanted to be a Mom, ever since I was a little girl who couldn't wait to take her first baby sitting course. I baby sat up until I was …
Tick tock...
Now that we are in 2009 it seems my obsession with counting down has taken a new extreme...I've decided that Mason will be born on February 30th, not March 2nd. (Keeping in mind that I do realize that only 1% of babies are actually born on their due date). So I've created a new calendar in my worl…
In the right year!
A bit of a delay due to holidays and starting a post, saving it as a draft and deleting it. So here I am, first blog of 2009! Last post was pre Christmas, so I will start there. I only took one day off [December 23] in order to reserve a ferry to the Island (BC Ferries dropped their rates and res…
