I found some!

Just a quick update to say that I found some headbands!

My sister in law suggested that I try Claires..so I did..and they have a baby section! So here is Rebecca modeling one of her new headbands, she's not to sure how she feels about it though. But I think its cute..lol


Im also happy to say that her sleeping 5 and 1/2 hours wasnt just a fluke! Ever since then, she's been sleeping at least 4-5 hours at a time. Yay!!

And lastly, Rebecca and I booked our tickets!! We will be in NS from October 13th till the 26th! Hope to see everyone!!:)

5 and 1/2 hours!!!

You know you're sleep deprived when you're excited about getting 5 and 1/2 hours straight of sleep!! haha I woke up this morning sooo excited! Rebecca went to sleep at 12:30 last night, and I woke up at 6, and had to wake her up to eat cause I was in pain..lol.

She's growing like crazy!! I had her into the doctor Thursday and she weighs 10 pounds 9 ounces now. She has so many cute outfits that dont fit her anymore! Its so sad.

Overall she's a pretty good baby. She's just had a rough start at life with having thrush a few times now, and some yeast infections. They make her a cranky baby!! I've been reading the book "The Happiest Baby on the Block" and watched the video. And its a lifesaver! Anyone who has fussy babies, you should check these out! He has a website too, http://www.thehappiestbaby.com/. Check it out!!

Here's pic of my pretty girl a week ago, at 5 weeks old.

She's starting to lose her hair a bit on the sides! I've looked EVERYWHERE out here for some cute headbands to hide it..lol. If anyone has any suggestions of where to get some, let me know. We're going to Utah in a few weeks, so im sure I can find something there, but just in the meantime:)

So its been a few weeks since i've updated..I dont think anything too exciting has happened though...

We celebrated our 1 year anniversary a few weeks ago. We kept it pretty low key. Norm had planned on taking me for a picnic where he had proposed to me, but it was cold and rainy, so that didnt work out. Instead he made me supper, yummy Chinese, and we watched a few movies. Its crazy how fast this year went! I still havent even printed off my wedding pics! haha

Here's Norm with our yummy supper...and no I didnt eat ALL that..haha Norm likes to give me more than I can eat, so he can finish it and doesnt have to get up for seconds..lol.

I cant believe that its been 6 weeks already since Rebecca was born! You think that by now i'd be back to normal..but of course not..haha. After giving birth and everything thats gone wrong with me, it really doesnt make me wanna have more! haha. I've been in and out of the hospital regularly these past weeks. I was still in major pain, and bleeding up until this week. Turns out a piece of my placenta got left inside, and got infected. Luckily it came out on its own, but its been no fun. I've been on more drugs this past month than ever..haha. I had to go for an ultrasound to make sure everything is ok now, and it was so weird to see my uterus without a baby in there! Hopefully things will be better from here on!!

We're in Calgary for the weekend. Norm went to a football game last night, in the rain. He's crazy! But I guess he had lots of fun! I think Rebecca and I are gonna do some shopping today, and then we're going over to Diana's for a bonfire and bbq, should be fun! I love being close to family, and spending time with them! I've finally come to terms with the fact that we're not moving back to NS, and that I probably wont ever live close to my immediate family again. It was way hard to deal with, but I know that heavenly father has a plan for our little family. Honestly, when we were planning on moving back to NS, deep down, I didnt feel it was the right thing to do. But I wanted it to be, so I ignored my feelings. Then Norm got the answer that we weren't supposed to move, and I had to accept it..lol. It makes me wonder though, why he would get the answer that we should, and then that we shouldnt. But at least we got our house fixed up! haha I'm coming back to visit for 2 weeks in October though, so that'll be nice.

I should probably go shower while Becca is sleeping. I'll try to update more regularly!

Happy Anniversary!!

I cant believe its been 1 year already!

Why I love my husband.

3 weeks ago now, there was a tragic accident in Calgary. A guy, just 20 years old, was crushed by a truck at work. I heard this and didn't think much of it, you hear sad stuff on the news all the time. Then I found out that this guy was the boyfriend of a girl I used to work with. This was someone that I had heard this girl talk about on a daily basis. Its crazy how you could say goodbye to your boyfriend or husband in the morning, thinking nothing of it, and then have them taken away from you just like that. So its made me really appreciate the time I have with my husband..and not take things for granted. So this entry is dedicated to my amazing husband!!!
