We've had so much rain this spring that I am no longer planning my days with the kids according to weather. Now we just go outside in the rain. Not that we were ever adverse to it anyway, but now we are going for it with more gusto. Yesterday we went for a nice walk in the afternoon while Karina slept in the BOB beneath the weather shield. It poured. This afternoon we walked along the boardwalk

Here's the big guy at our house on Quadra Island. He is helping Grandpa Jerry put some new pipes underground. Last year some hugs trees fell on our proerpty and squished some pipes. We never knew about these squished pipes until there was a fload in our basement due to the back up of water. So thankful to have someone nearby to put the new pipes in while we are away.Sounds like Jonas has been

Jordan is now off in Haida Gwaii for 3 weeks assisting with a graduate forestry course. He went two years ago as a student in the class. Jonas went over to the Island with Grandma J and Opa after the Easter weekend. They came to celebrate with us, though much of the time was quite stressful due to abit of a family crisis from afar. Now things have settled somewhat and Jonas is totally excited to

I think its time we get a good stretch of pure sun. We have had little glimpses here and there for so long now; I am wanting a week, minimum, right now!Now that I am able to spend two days a week on my course work and really focus on getting more clients, I feel more balanced. When I can be home with the kids, then work a little and do schoolwork, life is good! It doesn't seem like a big deal,

We celebrated very simply with cake then dinner. Just the 4 of us. Karina was perfectly happy with her brother blowing out the candle and watching everyone eat cake. She threw hers on the floor. She found it interesting to play with but wasn't keen on the texture I guess. It was a lemon cake. She probably would have loved just plain whipped cream or something a little lighter.I can't believe our

Jonas will be 4 when he wakes up tomorrow.4 years ago tonight I was in labour for the first time and I can still feel the excitement and giddiness of it all. How safe and cared for I felt in those hours leading up to Jonas's arrival.Back labour, in childs pose, for hours and hours at Grandma Janet's house - first in the spare room, then her bedroom and finally her bathroom.

Time, as always, has flown by. No longer a baby, but a toddling toddler, Karina is on the brink of walking. She stands on her own and shuffles from our arms to the couch to the chairs. She is such a joy to have around. I love having both a boy and girl - such a balance of energies! Karina has this beautiful voice that we all really enjoy when she hums and sings. The only 'class' we have really

Sleep is a common topic among parents of young children. We wonder if our children are getting enough; if we are getting enough. Sleep was so much easier with only one child. Jonas slept with us and nursed all night until he was 1.5 years. It worked out just fine. We bonded so strongly and I slept so sweetly in our bed. I napped once a day with Jonas in his 'bedroom' on his floor bed. Then at

The past months have flown by at lightening speed. So quickly has time passed and I am more than a little guilty for not having kept up at this blog as I did with Jonas. I know that Grandma Janet has always checked daily for new pictures or new firsts with Karina. I will try to post more in this New Year!We just spent the past 3 weeks on the Island in a whirlwind visit that kept me on my toes.

A month late but I finally made it! Here are some photos of Halloween and I know a certain someone has been waiting ever so patiently for these! So very sorry. I have endlessly been tying up loose ends these past couple of day and I am beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. As of Dec 11th I am hoping to find myself caught up, organized and ready to go and see all of our family on

Here are some photos from early Oct up at SFU. It was so warm and beautiful that we spent many days going for walks, bike riding and playing in the yard. Its hard to believe that 6 weeks later we are walking around in snow! I cannot believe how fast the Fall has flown by.

These days, I enjoy my Monday mornings. Its when we all get back to a steady rhythm and schedule that allows me my room and space to return emails, play with Karina, plan meals and even do a little school work. Its just Karina and I so its usually fairly mellow. Not so relaxing if I actually have stuff to accomplish because it always seems that if I have high expectations of accomplishment for

This is where Jonas loves to go everyday - just outside of our yard. It is so funny to watch all the kids climbing - their continuous shouts 'look at me mom, look at me dad, LOOK AT HOW HIGH I AM!!!'.

Occasionally, Karina will wake up too early. We like to stay in bed until 7AM. Sometimes Karina will start stirring at 5AM. Too early, too painful for any of us. ugh. Jonas will normally start to wake up at some point between 7 and 8. That is a little easier.Today, we all slept in until sometime after 7AM. It was nice. Karina had some rice cereal while Jonas built a road and some buildings with

Have I mentioned that it feels as if Karina has always been with us? How could we have ever considered stopping at just one child? Of course, life is much more hectic with a second child but it is so completely worth having another personality within our family. Jonas has flourished and has never in any way shown any emotion towards Karina aside from pure happiness in having a sister.I would say

After spending a whirlwind 3 weeks vacation on the Islands, we are back and easily settled into our little routine and life. After visiting with family and friends we were all fairly exhausted yet it only took a couple days back at home before we were rejuvenated and ready to get back into a much needed routine. Jonas was very easy to get back into regular bedtimes and school/social life, but

These past 12 weeks have really flown by. But, really, there is no other way that time flows when you have a baby. A baby and a 3 year old. Lots of energy. Actually, Karina feels very easy next to her big brother. Thank goodness Jordan is around on the non daycare days; Jonas just has so much energy to burn. Long walks in the forest and sports and sand/dirt play are his all day staples when not

The 3 month growth spurt is probably upon us. Although Karina is 10 weeks I am very certain she is having a growth spurt. With the continual feeding last night and all day today I was actually able to peal myself out of bed by noon in order to eat and get dressed. I was actually up at 6AM this morning, which is very early in this house. No one usually gets out of bed until 7:30 - but today I got

Although it wasn't mandatory, I encouraged Jordan to attend a Community Forest conference over the weekend. I arranged to have my parents come over from the Island for the weekend so that I could have some help. I know that as my hormones settle and I become more used to life with two small children, I will become better adapted. I knew I would be fine on my own, but I also knew that I would be

We seem to have settled into our little life as a family of 4. Karina is almost 9 weeks and is a very sweet and normal little babe. She eats, plays, sleeps and then does it all over again and of course in any order she sees fit. Life with child 2 is much smoother than with the first. I know what to expect and that is simply you never know how each day with a little baby will go. Maybe we will

For this baby, my parents were the first to come to help out and meet the new family member. Jordan's mom and dad were the first to meet and greet Jonas 3 years ago. So, of course, West coast style, my parents had to wait until the day after Karina was born due to high winds and ferry cancellations. Funny how things work out because we found it nice to have that first partial day to ourselves to

After meeting up with my Midwife two Thursdays ago, I decided to do some Easter shopping on my way home. After some chocolate purchases I decided to pick out a little baby girl Easter sleeper. I thought, well, since I don't have a single item of baby girl clothing and since this would be a wonderful weekend to birth a baby, I might as well be prepared in case I actually have a girl.

For the first pregnancy you are told that the frequent night wakings to empty your bladder helps to prepare you for frequent night feedings after the baby arrives. This time around I find myself getting frustrated on the bad nights. We go to bed, read, Jord falls asleep nice and easy. I read more, get that horrible restlessness in my legs and head out to the family room where I will do some

I am ready and waiting. I've done everything I need to do to prepare for this new baby. The head is halfway down my pelvis and I am drawing my focus inward. I actually did a visualisation of the birth the other day - not what would be the perfect birth, but more the stages of labour and the sensations my body would go through as it worked with the baby to bring it down, open the cervix, release

Last week Jonas and I returned home after spending 9 days on the Island. It was very refreshing to be back home and I got a few opportunities to rest and enjoy some massage/cranial sacral sessions. It was great to catch up with everyone and also celebrate Jonas' 3rd birthday with family. We ended up having two different cakes/parties while on the Island and then another cake/party with his LRH

Last week I met with my Midwife, Candace Plohman, from The Midwifery Group on Main Street. It's abit of a drive from SFU but when I found out I was pregnant I knew I wanted her as my primary caregiver because she was the one who caught Jonas three years ago. At the time she was a student midwife but my last several visits were with her and my husband and I really liked her. So it was very cute

Although I still have 2 months left of this pregnancy, I have already felt my life shifting and changing in anticipation for the arrival of our little babe. I have attended my last few births this past month and although I am a little sad to have to let go of my career path for the next year, I know that when time allows, I will be working on some of my online courses. I will still have my foot

Its Sunday night. It's the New Year and we are back into our routine. ahhh. It feels good. I feel rested and content and ready for my last trimester. And now I have a moment to write this blog entry. The Christmas season was really great. Jordan was off at the beginning of Dec and although he still worked a little here and there on his research, we spent the month having some very memorable

The most difficult part of Jonas being sick is the part where he is getting better. Maybe its like this for all parents, I don't know. Two weeks ago Jonas spiked a high fever which continued on for 4 days and was accompanied by a cough. He mostly slept and watched DVD's. Oh and of course he wanted mommy attached the entire time. I got some good rest but was beginning to worry about my lack of

There have been many times over these past weeks where I have wanted to blog about one thing or another. There is just too much to say in one post. Nothing at all life changing, just a whole lot of thoughts and ideas filtering through my mind.I am now halfway through this pregnancy. It is going by so quick. Yesterday I finally felt like I had popped out and I am really beginning to notice the

I love being pregnant a second time. The changes of my body; knowing that it is working hard and precisely, growing and nourishing this lovely soul who has joined our family. How content and fulfilled I feel in knowing that this was the right decision for me, Jonas and Jordan. Of course, there are the nagging questions in the back of my mind, how will this change us? How will manage? What will we

We have lived up at Simon Fraser University for a year now. I can't believe how quickly time has passed and already the great memories we have made in Vancouver. The only negative, really, was our apartment - and not the layout or size, but its location within the building. North facing, facing the undergrad housing, bright bright lights that stayed on all night long and no yard. Ugh. We finally

I love that I have my old pregnancy blog to reread and compare to my current pregnancy. Its seems as though, so far, many things are similar. Starting about 2 weeks ago, I became really, really tired....and with a 30 month old boy running around its not like the first time around where I just focused on myself and relaxed. Actually, as far as timing of this pregnancy, it has worked out better

Two separate tests with positive results.What a wonderful reunion with Jordan after spending two weeks apart. He has finnished up his research for the summer and I am home from the Island.Now we can bask in the sun together and start thinking of names. Oh and call the parents ;-)

After spending a few years living and building our home on Quadra Island, the island of my husbands childhood, we decided to start our family. My first blog documents my first pregnancy, ending in a beautiful and fulfilling homebirth at my mother in laws house.My second blog is written for my son, recording his first year of life and my transition into motherhood. With this transition, I moved
