Another busy week... they always are!

The weekend was packed full of getting small projects actually done - not just started. It felt good to finish off some of the items on our to do list, that never shrinks!

Tym ended up getting Annie's cold - and so did I. So that was at the begining of the week. Now that we are feeling better, it's been a whirlwind getting ready for Paul to arrive tonight :)

I had a natruopath session on Tuesday - and she did acupuncture for the first time. She did concentrate more on my cold to fight it off then anything, but also did some points on my toes - the same point we did the chinese herbs with Tym. Tym never really moved around with the herbs, but this little guy sure did move around a lot when those were in! We will be doing it again Monday. Flip boy Flip!!

I am now doing chiro once a week, naturopath once a week - I really 'should' be doing massage once a week since i am so sore - and the midwife every two. It's a lot of appointments to try and schedule!

Aside from that I've joined the Board of Directors at Tym's school. We had our first meeting lastnight and it's really good to get an insight as to what's happening behind the sceens. There are some changes coming and it should be good :)

Lots of fun things planned for the weekend with Grampa- hopefully he's not to jet lagged!

It's been a lovely week.

Tym has been doing great with the weaning. Friday and Saturday were a little touchy and she was a bit more upset that she couldn't have breast milk. We did not get naps in on the weekend - I think weekend naps are going to be done for awhile, unless we are in the car at the right time. The past 2 days she hasn't even asked for it! It's weird, but nice all at the same time.

The weekend was pretty low key puttering around. She is really enjoying swimming now. I bought her a floaty thing to go around her waist and now she doesn't want you to touch her at all when she is swimming, even when she can't touch at all. it's fun to watch. She really enjoys swim class as well - hopefully by the summer she will be safe around the water more or less :)

This morning Tym and I were coming downstairs. Meag was getting some oatmeal going for us all - in her undies and sock.

Tym - Mummy! You're Naked!
Deah - That's how we like her isn't it?
Tym - NO! Go put clothes on - I don't want to see your bits!
Meag goes to get dressed - we finish oatmeal.

We seen the midwife on Monday and things are looking good. Good BP again. Measuring 2 weeks ahead like last time. We had the visit mostly with the student midwife, who we have until the end of Nov. And she was definitely a student - and has some learning to do about client personal care. When we are talking a bit about concerned breech - saying that might just be how your uterus is shaped, isn't exactly what one wants to hear. Way to be supportive and ease our worries that he will be head down come birth!

I am feeling good - tired but good. No hearburn or anything like that. Short of breath, low back is starting to hurt a little and it's just not as easy to move around anymore. I am seeing our chiro once a week for right now to try and get my pelvix lined up, apparently it's rotated which can lead to breech presentation.... So hopefully we can get that fixed :)

Tym loves this baby. And is sooooo excited about this baby. Lastnight as I was putting her down, she scooted down sing and snuggle the belly. Of course he goes crazy when she does this - so he's kicking me like no tomorrow, she's wraps her arms around my belly and is singing. She them says that she needs her pillow - grabs it and snuggles in. Half way down the bed, with her pillow, snuggling her baby brother - she falls asleep. it was the sweetest thing ever! I wish I had a camera upstairs with me at this point.

Discipline for who?

Tym: What's that mama?
Deah: A new book.
Tym: What's it called?
Deah: 1-2-3 Magic Effective Discipline for Children 2-12
Tym: Why children?
Deah: Because I already know what to do with Mummy!

Boob Cake anyone?

So last weekend was pretty busy... A large part of my energy was spent getting ready for the weaning party on Sunday... Making the cake... Prepping Tym a little more.

I was a little concerned that it was not going to go over very well - since more than once last week she told me she didn't want to have a party... That she loved BreastMilk.

However we didn't back down. As I mentioned before I've been ready for a few months - it was just a matter of doing it and getting Tym excited about it.

Saturday was a weird day - since it was the last time that I nursed her down for a nap... We layed in my bed, and I tried to embrace our last nursing session. It was weird as I was trying to stay determined to nurse her all the way to sleep no matter how uncomfortable it was - thankfully it only took 5-10 minutes. I was glad to not have to worry about having to do it again, but I was also very sad. My baby girl is growing up. Yes I know that she's far from a baby, and weaning at 3.5 years of age isn't like she grew up over night. But it definitely is sad - even if I didn't enjoy the nursing because it hurt a lot, I still love the snuggling and closeness it gave us.

Since Saturday I've been going back on forth on being stoked that she's not nursing, to missing it. We were definitely both ready to wean however....

Sunday morning was just a lovely morning (she didn't ask to nurse, I didn't offer) - we had cinnamon buns and got ready for the party. She LOVED her Boob Cake - as you can tell on the picture!

Esther and her family, and Ivy and Sarah came over. We all enjoyed some Boob. Tym wanted us to see the Happy Birthday Song - but to the tune of Happy Weaning Party Tym, it was cute. She got a couple small presents as well - including 2 JugHead comic books (which she's addicted to now).

Meag put her to bed Sunday night - she was exhausted. Cried for me - no change from when she's tired. I was concerned about Monday morning - as she's such a whiny suck in the morning... She asked for it once, I told her that there was no more breastmilk and explained that she was a Big Little Girl now. (She's informed us she's not quite a big girl yet.) And she rolled with it! I made sure to give her lots of snuggles and stay close. We tiptoed around to make sure she wouldn't flip out and it worked. Not 1 single tear.

I was concerned about lastnight as it was my turn to put her down. Much to my surprise, she asked once, I said there was no more and she rolled over! Not a tear or why or anything! HOLY Crap! This morning same thing.

So all in all the weaning has gone fabulously. I won't be having a bath or changing around her for a few more days, that's for sure. But so far, she has proven to be the Big Little Girl.

No nursing since Sat folks. I wonder when I'll start to get uncomfortable and want her to be nursing again!

Who needs sleep...

So apparently Tym was up for 3 hours last night... It will be intersting to see how cranky she is tonight!

This weekend was busy and lovely all at the same time. We got the closet re-done and it looks fantastic :) Meag can finally see what it was going to look like - and is glad she trusted me and my design :)

The new matress got delivered, so we all have lots of room to sleep again :)

We got lots of little things done around the house that needed it. We actually brought up some baby bins and started unpacking! Crazy! So we have diapers, receiving blankets, towels and such all unpacked. 3 bins down - 25 to go! OYE! And there will be room in our room for the crib once we sell the cabinet we had in there.

Pepe in back in the country! (or should be) and is coming over tonight!! YAY!! :) can't wait to see her again. And swimming classes for Tym start tonight! :)

Today starts my 3rd trimester! Holy Crap! I am so glad that we've gotten ontop of the million little projects we want to do before he's born - so hopefully in another month when I don't want to move, I won't have to!! He's been moving a lot - I think he's transverse still, lots of lower movement still.

We watched the Buisness of Being Born on Saturday night - and it was awesome :) I would highly recommend it.

Minding my manners

I was chatting with my Mum last week when Tym decided she wanted to talk to Nana. She proceeded to tell her the following story:

"Nana, the friggin' cat Bell peed on my baby brother's bed and now we have to throw the damn cat and bed out of our house!"

Oh. Dear. God!

It's been a long week over here... The pregnant sleep has kicked in, and I haven't been sleeping very well at all. That may change when we receive the new matress we bought tomorrow - so we can all have lots of room to sleep without me snoring in someone's ear, or pillow crowding. Yes - we had to buy a new matress for Newton's room... The smell was just not going anyway. It arrives tomorrow and it will have a protector in it the second it's in the house!

It's crazy to think that the summer is over!! I am not sure where it went - but it left us. We have something booked or to do almost every weekend until Nov! It's going to be a busy time, but hopefully we'll be prepared come November. Some of it entails getting weird things done around the house, like getting the photoalbums in order, and sorting through recipe books so we can find things. Some things are bigger, and require saws and nails - this weekend we are re-doing our closet. I know we are nesting, and it's early - but if we didn't find time to do photoalbums in the last 3 years, if it doesn't get done now - with 2, when or when would we find time!

Tym's growing at amazing speeds. it's amazing to see her learn things. I will have to let Meag retell a phone story - she told Nana a story on the phone, and it's hilarious! She is also in the throes of 3 - and the tantrums. Oh the tantrums! One night this week she had an entire meltdown in the bathtub - and empty bathtub with no water in it. She was having a bath and not behaving - her options were getting out or continuing in a shower with me. she egarly accepted the shower offer and had a great time till it was over. She wanted her bath back. And she let us know - a full 15 minutes of full on tears. She could barely breath and was bright red when she finally stopped. The stamina was amazing!

On growing up - next weekend we are having a small party... A weaning party! She is stoked. I am stoked! The last few months I have been ready to wean her - we are down to 4 of the quickest ABC songs ever a day. She seems to get that after the weaning party, she is to old for breastmilk, and says she's going to drink out of a big girl cup (which she does any, but oh well!) We shall see how it goes!

This little guy in my belly has been a wiggle worm! he is moving SOOO much lately it's crazy. Last night, I think there was a time when he flipps head down. I was having a LOt of movement around my bellybutton and above... Which was really weird, since I've never felt movement up there. Of course the movement seems lower today.. We shall see, maybe he will flip without any problems this time!

boats, rainbows and water

Oye what a weekend! It past way to quickly!

On Saturday we headed out first thing in the morning to Meag's first Dragon Boat Festival. It was awesome. She had a blast - and the team finished 2nd in the women's division and even got a cup! Tym thoroughly enjoyed watching the races and cheering on the different boats.

We left there before lunch to head home and pack up for the Dyke March. Which was a lot of fun as always. Meet up with Beth, Jesse, the girls and santiago and his moms. And marched out stroller posse down the street. It was fun hanging out with them and seeing everyone out and about. The kids loved playing in the park = and loved the now traditional gelato stop before heading home.

After 8 hours outside on Saturday we were all pretty tired. Come Sunday morning we were not doing any better. Tym woke up at 6. I could barely move and had a headache - clearly over did it on Saturday. Meag took Tym down to watch some TV. She could hardly move - her muscles were quite sore from boating. It was a pathetic site for awhile in our house. We took it pretty easy for most of the day.

Until we found a leak in the basement. In the afternoon it wasn't a huge leak - the wall that the electrical panel was on was wet. Another Co-op guy came and took a look - looked like maybe the outside tap - so we turned it off and didn't think much more about it. Until after supper, Scott was over and heard water running in the basement. Not a good sign! Rushing downstairs shows a huge gyser of water running over the wall and down the drain. Once the dishwasher was turned off - it stopped. Plumber was called. All lights and stuff turned off (considering the electircal panel was now soping wet!). The plumber of course could not duplicate what happened - could not find a single leak anywhere! So he left - we turned lights back on.

Apparently it was the external hose bib that was not tight. Now we just got to work with the co-op to replace the chiprock and insullation fixed (replaced) considering we don't see how it could all dry naturally without mold growing. Fun times for a Sunday night!

Oh - we also went to the museum and seen a Bob the Builder exhibit, which Tym loved! And went to the beach with Beth and the girls.
Overall a fun, but busy weekend!

midwives and carnies

Monday morning we had a midwife appt. We decided to bring Tym along so she could start getting used to the lovely ladies that will be around for the birth. We have decided that it's not worth throwing off her morning routine to bring her in... when we want her to meet them some more later on, it will be a late afternoon appt so we don't have to bring her to school after!

The appt went well however. My blood pressure remains lower than ever at 112/64. Everything looks good. I am measuring a couple days ahead at 26 weeks - this could be due to how he is positioned right now - somewhat transverse (side to side). Which is better than I was thinking - breech. He's felt really low thus far with movements and had felt breech for awhile... Even though we know it's too early to worry about it, with past history we would like to get him head down sooner than later! :)

Tym helped with the doppler. She held it on my belly and heard his heartbeat for the first time. It was cool to see her reaction. Then all of a sudden she was all over Denise (Midwife) wondering what she was doing. Only 1 more appt at 4 weeks, then it's every 2! Already!

Yesterday Meag and I took the day off. We ran a bunch of errands in the morning, then surprised Tym early at day care. We went on a bus and headed to the SuperEx! It was the first time Meag and I had gone. It's pretty big... and a blast! It took Tym awhile to warm up - she really was not intersted in the rides... or she would be for 30 seconds, but once she was on or almost on she would change her mind. So we watched Annie on a few rides :) The animals were a huge hit! But - not as much as the Girl Band that we found playing. We saw the stage as the girls were getting on... Tym sat right down and would not leave. For a long time! She even got on stage and danced her heart out for 4 of the songs! It was so cute! We finally got her away from them, had quick snack and tried to get her to the bus stop for the 2 buses to get home. On the way, we saw african drummers... there's one stop... They finally finish and who do we see on the last stage as we are heading out? The girl band again! 15 minutes later, and a few tears... We finally get to the bus stop. Who knew the chicken dance done by a 3 year old would be so cute!

All things Wicked

So while we were finishing up painting in the baby's room, I noticed a smell - had asked Meag if she'd smelt something a couple days prior, she didn't. Must have been my sensitive pregnancy nose... Anyway - upon painting, I noticed on the duvet on the bed - stains. Pee stains. Uggghhh! Wicked Belle! it looked like she had been using it as a litter box for a few sessions.

So we soaked the duvet and that seems to be Ok... however - the mattress on the other hand has not been as successful. We put it on the deck the past 2 days to help air it out and febreezed it - however it was still smelly this morning. We just might have to go and buy a new double mattress. Of course this happens just as I was getting ready to settle into the spare room to sleep due to snoring and pillow obstacles in our regular bed!

We had a lovely weekend - it started with swapping spots with Christa and Abby. They came over at supper time Friday - we left. A nice supper and then to see a play. "Wicked". It was - AMAZING! The set, the story, the acting... was awesome! Then we stayed at Christa and Abby's - kid free!! Had 2 full meals without saying - Sit on your bum, eat with a spoon, don't do that! It was bliss!

After we got home the 3 of us headed to matt and sarah's who are still under renos :( However, we were able to pick through the scrap pile and get all the bits we need to put in some much needed shelving in our closet! That will be the long weekend project - Closet Build It!

Yesterday was a lovely day! It was awesome to see the sun! So much so I got a wee bit of a sunburn... We went to the market with Betj, jesse and the girls. It's nice they are back from vacation :) and played at the pool and park for a bit, before hitailing it out of there to go watch Meag have a dragon boat practice. Tym loved watching them... And feeding the ducks. The seagulls however, were jerks I was told. it was quickly discovered where she learnt that word upon walking back to the car as Meag and talking about what she seen - and said - "They were jerks weren't they?" hrrrmmm..... new rule - don't call anything you wouldn't want to be called.

Couple Tym sayings...

While snuggling to sleep - she normally gets 1 ABC of breastmilk. "Mama, 1 ABC makes me sad, but 2 makes me happy!" She then got the fasts 2 ABC songs known to man!

"Those seagulls are jerks!"

"I wanted to pee outside" while peeing naked on the deck. Hrrrmmm

There are more but of course I can't remember them right now

Wet and cold

So I've found this summer to be wonderful weather wise - most would not agree with me.

I have loved it because I have not been a sweating, cranky 6 month pregnant woman this summer. Just pregnant. The reason for this is the weather has sucked. We have had more rain then ever - this morning I had wished I brought a sweater to get to work... Really folks it's not even mid August! I should be complaining first thing in the morning that it's already to hot for the day! We haven't set Tym's pool up in weeks because it hasn't been warm enough. Great energy wise since we haven't even had fans on let alone the air conditioner!

However in the grand scheme, as comfortable as I've been - it sucks. We've had no nice weather summer, no heat, just the threat of rain almost every single day.

However if there is going to be a summer like this, I'm glad it's this one!! :) Next summer can be warm and I can spend it at the pool with the kids! :D

Painting and Fairies

It's been awhile since an update - sorry folks!

First - Batman was AMAZING! I haven't enjoyed a movie like that in a long time. I am hoping to get to go see Harry Potter in November before this baby comes out to! That will be the end of movies for awhile after that probably!

We had a great long weekend. Took our time and got most of the painting done in the baby's room. Took our little fish swimming - boy is she a fan of the pool now. It's time to sign her back up for swim classes!

The week was busy as usual. Tym's rash is getting better and better now that she is not eating garlic. Surprising it's been pretty OK cooking and stuff... Some things just are not as tasty though! This weekend we finished up the painting and got the house cleaned. Took it easy but was productive.

On Saturday we let Tym sleep late in anticipation to going to the Lumiere Festival. It was amazing. We meet up with Tym's friend from school and her folks and had a fantastic time (pics are up) Tym was stocked to dress up like a fairy.. And we had to call her Princess Fairy Tym all night. When she fell asleep at 9:45 Sat night, she wanted to know if there was another festival tomorrow... Now we have her psyched for Gay Pride! :)

It's crazy to think that we are already mid august! We've decided that there are several little projects we want to get done before Ole arrives (like photo albums and memory boxes) so that we will have a few weeks to just sit and maybe play Xbox in the evenings. It's a lofty goal, but hopefully we can do it. I think it helps that we don't have cable so are missing the Olympics :(

Ole is growing and moving like crazy! He's consistantly pushing and poking me. I am now noticing a difference with carrying a boy vs girl - he is zapping my energy like crazy. I know that I am also running after a 3 year old, but I am dragging a lot more than I was with Tym even at work and such. I have started swimming at lunches a few times a week - which both me and him seem to enjoy :) I am hoping it helps him flip over, I feel him really low and think he's breech still.. I know I know.. Lots of time to have him turn... However Tym was placed the exact same.

So onto this week. Friday we are heading to a Broadway show - Wicked. Meag bought awesome tickets for my b-day. And we are even swapping houses with Christa and Abby so we can not be in our space for a bit... not a hotel, but next best thing ! :)

Looking like....

Lastnight I was in the bathroom brushing my teeth - Meag and Tym were reading in Tym's room. Next thing I know things were not so quite.

TYm comes running into the bathroom crying. I ask her why she's crying.

"I spit on mummy'"
"Why did you spit on mummy?"
"Because she looked like a sink!"

launghing ensued for everyone. Meag couldn't be as angry with that response. Lets just say that spitting is being practiced all on her own - she spits while brushing her teeth about 15 times.

Oh how 3 year olds think :)

it's been a busy week since I lost my feet!

I ended up taking a day off last week to just put my feet up and let the swelling come down. After 24 hours of doing nothing they looked much better. Of course after a busy birthday weekend they are somewhat swollen again - they don't ache yet though.

Friday night Mel, Laurel, Christa and Abby came over for drinks - it was a lot of fun laughing at everyone! Saturday night we had a potluck chocolate party -it was a good time with lots of yummy food that had chocolate in it. It was awesome to see how inventive everyone got! Sunday brunch with the 4 girls at the house and supper at Matt and Sarah's lead to yesterday morning being very hard to get up from!!

But it was a wonderful birthday weekend. I got a food processor - and we made hummus Sunday - Tym was very excited about that, since she hasn't has humus for over a month. I am excited to make other things as well - should be fun :) I also got money towards a new blender - one that will crush ice really well :) Just gotta find it.

Tonight 5 of us are going to the The Dark Knight on IMAX. Should be a fantastic time!!

This weekend is the long weekend.. it's amazing to know that August is already here! This weekend we are going to get the base coats of paint up in newton's room - and slowly work on the animals on the wall in the coming weeks. And hopefully do some relaxing!

Lost and found...

So some things are lost and found a lot earlier in this pregnancy....

Lost - my feet.

Happened at some point in the last 2 weeks. I've never had a fantastic view of my feet, fact is I'm a big girl. However now I have to bend quite forward to see my red crocs!

Found - swollen feet.

I wouldn't call them cankles just yet - however they are definitely getting more round as each day goes on. With Tym this didn't happen for a long time yet! It will be interesting to see how my feet look in 2 months let alone in 4+! Oye!

We are back in!

Well folks, we are finally back at our house. I do miss hotel living however - someone to clean up and give you fresh towels everyday... It's also stress free - you don't feel obligated to do 1000 different projects since you're not home. Meag cleaned up mostly from the reno on Friday and we moved back home on Saturday. Our new floors are lovely. The bathroom is nice, except for a few small things to touch up. It needs a new coat of paint, since the off white with the blue floors and counter makes it look like someone pee'd everywhere. Anywho.. We are just glad to be back in our space.

Tym was stoked to be home and has enjoyed running around with all her stuff. We picked up most of the paint for the baby's room this weekend - and Tym wants to paint it NOW! (It will wait until the long weekend) Last night we started cleaning up the baby's room - which also had us going through some clothes bins of Tym's; deciding what is good for a boy, and what is not. OYE! That was tough. So many of her girly clothes are sooo cute. And now we are going to give them away. Well not quite give them - we are going to take them to Boomerang to sell, so we can get a credit and buy the boy some cutie stuff... It's just hard to part with some of these clothes. And these clothes are all 2ish years old clothes - her smaller clothes are going to be even harder to go through. We will do that once we've painted and can leave some stuff upstairs.

Of course now there are a tons of projects that we need to get moving on and done in the next couple months - and figuring out exactly what ones we want to do now verus later. Mel is back in town this week - YAY :) And she'll be here for my birthday celebrations again this year, which is awesome :)

Now that I am clearly pregnant, everyone keeps asking me how I"m feeling. Which I never thought to much about - since I feel fantastic! There is nothing quite like the 2nd trimester - you are not as big as a house, not nauseous all day, and don't need to sleep 14 hours (would be nice though! hehe).

But all in all it's been great - my belly has definitely grown in the past couple weeks - not much mistaking what's inside. My hair and nails like last time are growing like weeds- which is good since i want to be able to put my hair up for labour! I've put on 12 lbs or so - not to bad. My mood generally has been pretty good (Meag probably doesn't think so!) - however I have definitely noticed when I'm testy, I'm quite testy. (Sorry Meag!)

One thing that has been totally different this pregnancy is how much he is moving! HOLY Cow! Tym was always laid back, didn't move much for ultrasounds, and since she was breech facing in the whole time, I felt movement - but no fierce kicks or punching. Newton however flips around all the time, and I feel him poking and prodding me all the time! Which I find amazing... (ask me when i'm 35 weeks if I still do or am tired of it! hehe)

Tym has taken on a whole new fasination with Newton since we've found out it's a baby brother. She'll talk to him first thing in the morning everyday, and hug and snuggle him (more then she was before). Yesterday morning she was laying listening, and my belly gurgled - she sat right up - "He just FARTED!" It was so funny. I told her it was just my belly, but she sure didn't believe me!

We are offically half way there... I am very much looking forward to the next few months when we can settled into the 'new' house (it will feel new with the floors and bathroom done), get the room painted and start digging out all the baby stuff we have.

Moving out, pictures and Oh My!

What a whirlwind of a weekend.

We finished packing the house and ourselves for the weekend. Tym was finally feeling much better - and was exstatic to go to school on thursday - so we sent her friday as well even though we originally thought we would keep her home and take her to the ultrasound... so we dropped her off at school and finished off the house.

Of to the ultrasound. What a wiggly baby! It might have been the icecap I had right before going to make sure that it would move around enough. In 20 minutes it went from being breech to transverse to head down. Tym was never ever this wiggly - it will be intersting to see how active this baby is when it comes out!

And, it's a BOY!

It was very clear what parts this baby is sporting. I was in shock a little bit - even though we joked it would be a boy, for some reason I thought it was going to be a girl. We are getting use to the idea of a boy and it's going to be a very fun adventure! Now the idea of names - thankfully we have a few months to sort that out!

After the appt, I finished packing and Meag went to work for a bit. Packed the car, got tym and headed to Beth and Jesse's for the weekend.

We told Tym there that she was going to have a baby brother - and she is so excited! :) should be a lot of fun.

After a fun filled weekend with the girls - we came back to the house on Sunday afternoon - the construction guys had already demolished the bathroom and were putting the tub and tiles back in- - should be nice when it's all done. Meag packed us up for the week and tym and i headed to the farm with a school friend of hers, which was lovely. then off to the hotel. which is were we will be for the week. It's going to be lovely seeing Mel and hanging out with her - I just hope we are not in her way to much!

to damn hot!

So Tym hasn't been to school yet this week - We knew that she was cooking something on Sunday - didn't think it was much. Most times when she's wonky it goes away after a good sleep , or it's a food reaction.

Meag wanted to take a play day on Monday with her, and they went to the Nature Museum with Annie and Jesse. Apparently she was even more off then. By Monday night when I got home it was clear she was sick. And has had a fever ever since. When we called her into school yesterday they asked about the vomitting and diarhea - thankfully we have none of that. Just a very hot girl, in very hot weather. it's yucky!!

It looks like the fever broke some time last night. But she's hardly eaten in 3 days and is still quite cranky - so she's home again. Hopefully the fever doesn't come back today!

Yesterday we went to the naturopath and got her allergy testing results. It was as expected on some - and others floored us!

No...
Cow Milk
Wheat
Spellt
Pineapple
Garlic

No wonder the rash hasn't gone away! Never have we stopped cooking with garlic!! So we will stop using that for awhile and see what happens with the rash. We are going to stay away from most cow dairy for a bit. She wasn't postivie on them, but reactive. So until we get it under control, we are staying away. But overall - we can deal with that :)

We are slowling getting things ready for Friday when we move out for a week - can't wait to have the new floors and bathroom though!! :)

The Big Sneeze

I was cuddling with Tym the other night helping her fall asleep when without any warning the biggest sneeze ever exploded from her little body. Naturally we were lying face to face so guess who got the full force of this sneeze and its accoutrements in her face? Which then produced the following conversation:

Me wiping my face: Thanks Tym! That was really gross!

Tym giggling: My snot went into your mouth Mummy! That was cool!
