Day Twenty One

I think I may need to rename this blog "Adventures in Parenting Fail".  Saturday morning swim.  We get into the change room and I realize that Neko has had a poo-splosion (see attached picture).  Oh, I have no wipes with me. We're going into the pool so I do my best with some TP.  Swimming is fun.  Neko had her first submersion.  Two dunks.  The first she loved, the second not so much.  Swimming is over and her outfit is ruined.  Did I bring another change of clothes?  Um, nope.  So Neko heads home in a diaper (at least I had one of those!), socks, and her snowsuit.  Rhea and I had a good laugh as she started to take off her snowsuit when we got home.

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

Day Twenty

Neko attended her first midwifery conference today (I'm sure it won't be her last).  It was all about decreasing the c-section rate in Ontario.  An interesting day!  It was nice to catch up with friends both new and old.  

We were going to check out the Lululemon warehouse sale but after my mom sent a picture of a line up a mile long (I'm probably not kidding!) we hit the road instead.  Came home to a delicious stir fry prepared by Glen. Have I mentioned that he's an awesome (and creative) cook?  

Day Nineteen

Drove to Ottawa with Rhea to attend a one day midwifery conference.  Had an amazing dinner at one of our favorite Ottawa restaurants, the Fraser Cafe.  They happily accommodated Rhea's gluten free, vegan diet on the fly. We also had a nice visit with Glen's family before they leave for Myrtle Beach for two months!  Overall, a pretty productive day.

We sat in the window at the restaurant.  Can't really see it in the picture but it was snowing.  I just thought it was really pretty :)  Ottawa has tonnes of snow compared to home.

Day Eighteen (Gone Fishin')

We're gearing up for a busy couple of days.  Neko and I are headed to Ottawa tomorrow to attend a midwifery conference on strategies to decrease the c/section rate.  Then we're back to pack for our trip to the Bahamas (leaving on Monday)!  I am cutting my self a little slack and may not post on the blog until we return on January 30th.  I will play catch up when we get back.

Here is Neko working on her sleeping skills :)
See you all soon!

Day Seventeen

We started our day with the Mother Goose program at the Cobourg Library. Then we had a nice afternoon play date with a retired midwife friend.  Her kids ADORE babies and so Neko was a real hit!

Little Miriam just couldn't get enough of Neko.  Neko had a ball.  Oh, and to top off the great visit I was given a Baby Bullet...now we just have to wait another month or so for solid food!!

Day Sixteen

Lazy day today.  Don't have much to report. :)

Precious Corners sign - It is where we live.

Day Fifteen

I actually got a full nights sleep last night with baby content in her own bed (minus a few feeds of course!)  The whole family leisurely rolled out of bed around noon.  It was glorious.  Mind you, we didn't get much else accomplished but I think it was worth it!

Neko and Anna had a staring competition.  Pretty sure that Neko won.  The cats are, by far, her favorite things in the house.  Anna is really good with her and tolerates the odd hair pulling fiasco.  I think she's just happy to have the attention.  I can just tell they will be BFFs!  :)
