About Us

Victoria, BC, Canada
This blog began as a modern "baby book" for our first child, Finlay, who was born in December of 2010. The recent addition of Seamus, born in January of 2013, has meant continued efforts to put into words and pictures his early years. We also use this forum to catalog our family life: two loving partners, two beautiful kids, car-free, child-centred, attachment-focused, with a love of food and health thrown into the mix!

Sneak Peek!

November 22, 2010

Tyler and I had some photos taken by a photographer friend about a week ago.  Just in time too!  It was a nice, warm and sunny day and the belly was behaving.  Now it is snowy, cold and windy and the belly looks more like a baby is hiding under some skin.  We were going to be getting the pictures today but our friend is snowed in (Victoria style) but she sent a "sneak peek" - I don't usually like pictures that involve me but this is nice.  Can't wait to see the rest - we will be sharing!

At this point I'm feeling like there is no room left for this kid.  Chick seems to disagree and continues to do yoga stretching.  Cute, but a tad uncomfortable!  Uta comes to the apartment tomorrow for a home visit and to make sure we are all set with what we need for the big event.  Tyler has done most of the shopping and preparing for this.  He loves his lists and getting organized.  If anyone is curious or concerned about this midwife or homebirth stuff, please check out Uta's website: http://www.sookemidwifery.com/
Her mother was a midwife and she has been delivering babies since 1981, over 2400 births!  She makes us feel very comfortable and well taken care of.  

Weird, but I went to the chiropractor today and she said that the next time I see her I'll probably have had the baby.  That was pretty exciting!  I guess that sort of thing will happen more often now.  Hopefully we'll get a couple more posts into the blog before Chick gets here!
