Big and healthy babies runs in this family

No Comments

Well there is baby # 3! That is so wild for me to say….a third baby.

This photo is over two months old at one of the growth scans I had done in either July or August. The other week I had a fetal echo to check on baby’s heart. All’s well. But of course I’m known on my chart as “oh you’re the one with the ten pound babies!“. Yes, I am. And this one is following suit. Baby is proportionately large with legs and arms measuring 4 weeks ahead at some measurements and everything else at the 99th percentile. Big n’ healthy babies is what runs in this family.

3rd baby feels: overly protective

No Comments

I know I mentioned this on my social feeds, but … I feel the most protective over this third pregnancy than the other two. After I finally announced the pregnancy to close friends and family I had some responses that made me clam up and frankly was disappointed in their reactions.

Whether they knew it or not I received some unfavourable responses to finding out what we’re having and also dared to ask whether or not this pregnancy was planned. How bold. Which is why lately I’ve decided to wait to announce what we’re having. You’ll know in December.

Although my presence online is …here….I still feel quite private with a lot of my life.

A trip home and a surprise….

It’s been 3.5 years since we’ve flown anywhere, and back in June we flew to our home: Newfoundland – for a whole month! It was as fantastic as you’d imagine it being, after being away for so long. My youngest hadn’t met any of our family members, so it was great to introduce him to everyone.

I was not prepared for all the humidity in Newfoundland however. So many days were spent outdoors exploring either in the shade, or in the water and/or water parks since many of the homes do not have air conditioning. Hard to leave home though, whether it be home for a week or home for a month – it never feels long enough. Some sad to go b’y.

Well, we did leave Newfoundland just last week and have a bit of news to share. Baby # 3 is set to arrive at the end of 2023! I took my boys and I this morning to Stanford’s Arizona Cactus Garden to do some photos with my tripod, self timer and their big brother tops from a small shop called Spunky Stork. Love how they came out!
