With an almost bursting bladder and plenty of nervous anticipation, yesterday I headed off to our anatomy scan ultrasound appointment. I always find I get anxious for pregnancy ultrasounds in general, but this one especially. I felt a knot in my stomach all morning long. It’s a fairly long ultrasound since they check all […]

I’ve been debating whether I would do any pregnancy updates this time around; I kept thinking to myself that I’d missed the boat because I’m already well into the second trimester! And then it felt a bit daunting to try and recap the entire first trimester again. In the end, I decided to dive into […]

Happy Friday everyone! It’s an absolutely beautiful spring day here, and I hope all of you are getting a chance to enjoy some sunshine and warm weather as well. I’m really looking forward to Mother’s Day this weekend, and spending as much time outside with the gang as possible. Somehow, it’s time again for the […]

Lately I’ve been trying to find ways to eat more veggies—which I realize may sound a bit funny coming from someone who eats plant-based—but it’s all too easy to get into ruts, especially when things are busy. It’s just so convenient to grab something from a box sometimes! Pregnancy also makes my food obsessions and […]

This week, I found out that my mom’s coming to visit at the end of May! We’re all so excited as it’s been awhile since she’s seen Adriana. They’re just going to have a ball together, especially now because Adriana is at that age where she loves to play and can do so many things. […]

We’re on the cusp of the Victoria Day long weekend here in Canada, and I’m so thrilled that the weather forecast is promising sunshine and warm temperatures at long last! One of our plans for the weekend is to make our backyard more kid-friendly for Adriana, and I’m looking forward to creating a fun space […]
