Blah!
Can you believe this adorable little human belongs to me! Aren't we lucky! I took this picture at Daddy's ball hockey game last night. Props to Uncle Phil and Auntie Cheryl for the hat! I absolutely love it. Ball hockey was...fun....sorta. Nate was content to play with his Thomas and eat some snacks for the first period and that was that. The boy loves to walk. So we walked. All in all it was a good night but I didn't really see much of the game. They won 9-4 I believe?
What's everyone got planned for this weekend? It's a busy one for us. #1 on my list is sleep in! We've had a few late nights this week and I am totally dragging my ass at work today. I was fine all morning, then I ate lunch, you know how it is. I want to close my eyes but I have a cold and I know it won't be pretty if I fall asleep. I am really not an attractive sleeper right now, hello snoring and drool! Hence why Rye has slept on the couch the last 2 nights. So saturday Nate is going to his Pop & Gigi's for the night and we're heading down to 'Big Daddy's Crab Shack and Oyster Bar' for our friend Giulia's 30th Birthday dinner! Has anyone been there? It'll be our first time. Rye doesn't eat seafood but they have other stuff anyways. I'm really excited because I love going out for dinner and being pregnant and sober, food is the one thing I can indulge in! Steak and shrimp Mmmmm. Sunday is the Superbowl and we're having a few friends over so we have to prepare the food and house for that.
Nate REALLY needs a haircut. We were going to get his Aunt Amy to cut his hair on New Years but everyone was sick so we didn't end up going to Haliburton. It's gotten to the point where pretty much everyone makes fun of his hair. It's quite long on the side and he has a lot of it in the back, it's hard to explain, basically the kid needs help. I'm hoping we can fit that in this weekend. Looks like we're gonna have to take him to a kid's haircutting place. I found this place http://www.littletotshairshop.com/ so maybe we'll check it out. I'll be sure to get some pics since this will be his first time! Wish us luck!
I know this blog is seriously sucking today. I've hit a wall. All I want to do is nap. I'm so sorry guys. I just don't have it in me. Time to throw in the towel.
Comment below and give me more things to write about so tomorrow's post doesn't suck as much as this one does!
Oh and I've said it before but I can easily name 15 of you that I know are reading and aren't 'followers' so please become one, the first step is admitting it!

A breakthrough
Hey All!
Well I'm seriously tired today. My boss gave us last minute Leaf's tickets, just a case of me being in the right place at the right time so of course we had to go. Thankfully Pop was available to babysit! We had a great time and our seats were AH-mazing!!! 8th row from the ice in the corner behind N.J.'s net so we got to see lots of action. AND they won! Woohoo! Rye wanted to watch the season premiere of Lost when we got home, 2 hour season premiere I should add and I couldn't resist. So today we are paying the price. If you're in the mood for a little bit of mind f*ckery, Lost is the place to go. I can't even begin to imagine how those writers do it but it is seriously awesome. I won't spoil anything here for those that haven't watched it yet but holy crap!!!!
Nate had a breakthrough at day care today!!! Rose (our day care provider or DCP for short) called to let me know that Nate ate a chicken nugget! This is HUGE. The kid doesn't eat ANY meat at all. It's not that he doesn't like it, he just refuses to try anything. Yet he has no problem trying a piece of my nanaimo bar, I don't understand how he knows the difference! Rose said they were cracking open a bottle of champagne so you can imagine how big of a deal this is for us all.
His diet consists of:
85% fruit
9% bread, waffles and crackers
5% yogurt and fruitsations
0.5% cheese (only on grilled cheese or plain cheese sandwiches, never straight up)
0.5% french fries
We've had quite the battle when it comes to his eating habits. I will say it's the one thing we/him really struggle with. We do give him options but he won't even look at them. The other day, I made pigs in a blanket, I just did a quarter of a hot dog in the one I made for him and he wouldn't touch it! Yet when I gave him a straight up crescent roll he was all over it! So frustrating!!! He used to eat veggies, hot dogs and kraft dinner but he just up and stopped one day. Rose has gotten him to eat pasta with white sauce and chicken noodle soup, both of which he won't eat for us. So you can imagine our delight when we got the call about the chicken nugget! I was SO happy. He's the only child at daycare that doesn't eat the regular food that they make, and they are Italian so you know they're making some good stuff! Pretty much every day he eats bread, cheese and either a yogurt or a pudding. They change up the way they serve it to him but always the same combination. Obviously he also gets fruit and snacks throughout the day as well. I'm praying this is the start of him branching out. But I know not to get my hopes up.
It's funny how much the little things matter in life. This milestone of Nate's has made us so happy and proud. I seriously almost cried tears of joy. A direct quote from my husband "Remind me to call Rose a God next time I see her!" What milestone of your loved one's has brought joy to your life? Share with us in the comment section below!

18 Weeks!
So I am officially 18 weeks today. Chugging along quite nicely! 1 week until we can hopefully find out the sex! The suspense is killing me. I need to know. And I need to know soon. I've been feeling the baby tons lately! I love it! It's truly amazing. I keep telling myself I really need to take it all in because this may be the last time I'm pregnant, which also seems weird to be done with such a huge part of your life? But that's neither here nor there now since we don't know what the future holds. Although Rye's insisting that if this one's a girl he's going for the snip snip. We'll see. Obviously money is a huge factor but having Nate makes me want a bunch of kids. It could also be how he is though, I suppose if he was high maintenance then it might change my mind. Let's just get through this next one and we'll go from there :)
Yesterday I had some time on my hands and I discovered that if you go to "Next Blog" at the top of the page, don't even think of doing it now haha, you go to random people's blogs. I stumbled upon a couple who had quintuplets (that's 5 babies just so we're clear), the Mother blogged about it all, still does and I found it absolutely captivating. I could never imagine. She HAD to gain a minimum of 75 lbs, preferably 100lbs. Resulting in her having to eat 5000 calories at day! 5000!!!!! The only thing that ticked me off was that the farthest I could go back on her blog was when she was around 15 weeks so I have no idea how they conceived 5 kids. Keep in mind that pregnancy is 40 weeks, a baby is considered 'full term' at 37 weeks. Their goal was to make it to 34 weeks but that didn't happen. They made it to 30 weeks and 5 days. All the babies survived but not without hiccups, it was a long journey in the NICU but they are now around 19 months and all doing great. It was really interesting to read about their story. They were so brave during the pregnancy and after the birth, I don't know if I could have that kind of strength. If you're interested their blog is here http://howellquints.blogspot.com.
Big Tings happening tonight! Lost is back for their 6th and final season. I would tell you to tune in but if you haven't watched the previous 5 seasons you will have no clue as to what's going on. Watch it on DVD. I guarantee you will be hooked. Also, after a busy weekend in Leaf's Nation, Giguere and Phaneuf will make make their debuts tonight. I have no idea what the hubby is gonna do! I guess we'll be flipping back and forth!
For the Mom's and Mom's to be out there. Another great website for baby/kid stuff is infomommy.com, every week they post which stores in ontario have diapers, wipes, formula etc on sale. I've been finding it very helpful lately.
Which websites do you frequent? Comment below and let us know!

Just another manic Monday...
Good Morning everyone!
I thought I should write a weekend/Monday morning blog since not everyone watched the Grammy's.
What did everyone do this weekend? We got a lot of cleaning done. So happy about that. It was much needed. Attached are a couple of pictures of Nate helping Daddy clean out the fridge.
As you can see Nate was very helpful. We had a great weekend as usual. Sunday evening always comes too soon. Lots of events this weekend to look forward to. Our friend Giulia's 30th Birthday celebration on Saturday, Nate's Pop and Gigi are taking him for the night so Mommy and Daddy have the whole evening to ourselves, I might have to actually let Rye touch me! haha. Then Sunday is the Superbowl! Go Saints!
It's starting to hit me that I'm actually pregnant and we're actually going to have two kids. I'm getting nervous. I think because Nate is so well behaved it really scares me that this one will not be. But at the same time, it comes down to nature vs nurture. I really believe that Nate is the way he is because we as parents have had a hand in it. I do think it's him as well. So maybe like 60% Nate, 40% us or maybe even 50/50. I think we've made a lot of right choices with how we've raised him so far and seeing the way he is everyday just confirms that. I just hope we can keep it up! I'm very interested to see how he is affected by having a sibling but again, I think it's in the way we handle it and I believe we can continue on the right track. Remember parents, you are in charge!
We've decided we're going to get a twin bed for Naters. I'm super excited to pick one out for him. I hope he likes it! I also hope it won't be that much of an adjustment for him but we'll just have to wait and see. I'm concerned about him getting out of bed in the middle of the night but I think we'll just put a baby gate on his door.
I have to give a shout out to my friend Giulia. Not only is she one of the sweetest and nicest people I know, she is totally inspiring. She's blogging about her goal to run a marathon in a year, if you have a second please check out her blog here Fat Girls can run too!...my marathon journey. It's highly entertaining and if you're in the market to lose some pounds or to just get healthy, I hope it will inspire you too.
That's all for today peeps! Happy Monday!

Stop! Grammy Time!
Hello Ya'll!
Just sitting here watching the Grammy's with my hubby. If I knew how to 'live blog' I totally would but who would read it anyways? We missed the red carpet because we had dinner at the in-laws tonight so I'm really curious to see what horrendous dress Country Bitch Carrie Underwood is wearing. You'd think the chick would get a real stylist by now. How does this keep happening?? Seriously, check out her 12 or so wardrobe changes from when she hosted the CMA's, all sucked.
LOL Steven Colbert about Elton John and Lady Gaga "I didn't even know they were dating!" BTW Totally loved that performance. Gaga can really sing I don't care what anyone says and Elton John! Come on! Respect. Excuse me while I take my bra off....Ugh Smokey Robinson, seriously dude, lay off the botox!
OMG Jay-Z cracked a smile.
JLo looks GORG. Ugh just sneezed and pissed myself a little. Over share? perhaps but I am still pregnant and this is still a pregnancy blog.
Greenday always reminds me of my home girl Carrie Heyes! I think we spent an entire summer driving around listening to their 'Nimrod' CD. They rock, and so does Carrie, miss you!!!
Hello Josh Duhamel! Mmmmm. Wow Kristen Bell is short! Hideous dress. Shocker, Taylor Swift continues to act surprised while she constantly cleans up reward show after reward show.
Hello Sasha Fierce! Beyonce continues to bring it. She's kinda scary though. Anyone notice the Rihanna hairstyle on her drummer? Ugh. Sick. It's not flattering. Why can't I rock heels like that? Beysus never disappoints.
Time for a snack. Chips or nanaimo bar?? I decided on a nanaimo bar and pepperettes. Rye chose popcorn.
Can anyone tell me how Seal's face got that way? Or was he born like that? I've always wondered. I suppose I could just google it but I'm a bit busy here! I totally love him and Heidi. They're so cute.
No matter how hard I try I will never be as cool as Pink. And now she's wet. I need a new hobby. Beautiful. Another great performer.
Is there anything more annoying than men who use hair straighteners? I just feel they're trying to hard. Best new artist...Zac something rather, does anyone even listen to country music anymore?
Coming up, Miley Cyrus introduces the Black Eyed Peas? Really, they're promoting that? At least she's not singing. But they really had to get her in there somewhere didn't they! Fergie Ferg will never be as cool as Pink. I'm so torn on the BEP, sometimes I like them, a lot of times I don't. I cannot stand "I Gotta Feeling", never have, don't get the appeal. What kind of a song lists the days of the week?? I like Fergie much better with brown hair. And she did say in an interview that she "likes well endowed men" so props to her for landing Josh. Even though he cheats on her with strippers. Dude is still fine. I guess this song does get the crowd going so I'll give them that. Do you think the BEP's make fun of Josh behind Fergie's back?
The Jonai! With glasses! I can't help but wonder if I would be into these guys if I was 13. Sorry Lady Antebellum, have to fast forward through you, we tried.
Side note: totally not feeling the pepperettes tonight.
Record of the year goes to: PLEASE NO BEP'S!! Whew! Good job Kings Of Leon! And a standing 'O' from Ferg! They were totally enjoyable. Gotta love the peeps who drink!
Robert Downey Jr!!!!!!!!!! LOVE HIM!! He just rocks on all levels. I really don't get the Rihanna haircut. Two Jay-Z smiles in one show, wow. Now I'm impressed. Jamie Foxx has 2 mics and I still don't think I can hear him. In case the giant "SLASH" on the jumbo tron didn't tip you guys off that is Slash up there. And some random chubby black chick, weird.
Justin Bieber. ACK. He's no Jonathan Taylor Thomas. Dude can't even read.
Katy Perry is above that dress. What was she thinking?!
Chris O'Donnell is SO cute. Always brings a smile to my face. Reminds me of our friend Mat Flanigan. Also super cute.
Seacrest IN! That guy is everywhere. T-Swizzle! YAY. Who thinks she needs to get her heartbroken so she has something else to write about? No more fairy tales. Girl needs some angst. Stevie Nicks! Wow. Is it just me or does Tay-Tay sound 'pitchy'? I have to say I'm a little disappointed by this performance, as a Taylor Swift fan she's not doing it for me.
MJ time. Please be good. Oh no, TV is paused so Rye can put on the 3D glasses that came with Nate's plush toy story chair. This should be good. Direct quote from Rye "I'm excited". I have my doubts. He says they're working. Celine is 3D could be scary though. Yup, Carrie Underwood never disappoints. What is that white flower thing on her dress?? OH NO Smokey in 3D. Is it just me so did he lose his neck? J Hud is looking good! Good for her. Would it kill Rihanna to crack a smile? Oh man, the kids, always the kids, this is where they get you. Prince sounds so mature. Overall, I thought they could have done better. Why not a celeb filled montage of his greatest hits? That would have rocked. Beyonce, Alicia, Whitney, Mariah would totally have rocked that. Like why was Underwood there?? So we could laugh at her dress that should never be seen in 3D?
How is it that Bon Jovi has never performed at the Grammy's? They've only been around forever. Bon Jovi can sing. He's so awesome. Totally husband material. The fans chose 'Livin on a Prayer', shocker! OMG why is the chick dancing behind them so weird?? Stop singing bitch. No one wants to hear you ruin the classics!
Cute kid, anyone know who the hell he is? Anyways, he gave the best acceptance speech of the night. This just in: Apparently it's Solange's son. Cute. Wonder if Auntie B and Uncle J babysit often?
Wyclef looks nice with short hair. I'm liking it. Mary J in da house! Damn she looks good. Sounds good too. How old is she anyways? Anyone think Celine is harmonizing from her seat? Wouldn't it be hilarious if she jumped in and Kanye West'ed that number? You know it was killing her not to.
Is anyone even listening to this guy? WHA? Adam Sandler at the Grammy's?? I'm awake. He's so cute. Dave Matthews, never been a huge fan, mainly because I don't know a lot of their music but I know they have a lot of fans. Especially our N'Oleans cousin, Erin! Thinking of you Er! There's something so sexy about a man who can sing and play the guitar. I'm a Mayer fan, even though he's a huge playa.
Anyone think Eminem, our TO Boy Drake and Lil Wayne are going to close the show? Hope so! Love me some Em.
I love Gaga as much as the next person but come on! Why would she wear that?! It's so rude for the guy sitting behind her. I wish it was someone famous, now that would be hilarious. Is it just me or does she always look slightly irritated by her outfits?
Holy crap! What is Tarantino on? LMAO. This has to be good. Too many bleeps. It's annoying. Just let it play, whose kids are awake at 11:15pm anyways?? Wicked that Drake is in with these guys. Way to go Degrassi kid. I effing love Eminem. Mad talent.
WOW Swifty for Album of the Year! Good for her. Too bad she bombed her earlier performance. What a cutie though.
Over all, an alright show. Thought they kinda blew it with the MJ Tribute considering they really could have rocked it. Gaga and Elton John definitely my favourite performance. Comment below and tell me what yours was!
Hope you enjoyed reading :)

Wyclef looks nice with short hair. I'm liking it. Mary J in da house! Damn she looks good. Sounds good too. How old is she anyways? Anyone think Celine is harmonizing from her seat? Wouldn't it be hilarious if she jumped in and Kanye West'ed that number? You know it was killing her not to.
Is anyone even listening to this guy? WHA? Adam Sandler at the Grammy's?? I'm awake. He's so cute. Dave Matthews, never been a huge fan, mainly because I don't know a lot of their music but I know they have a lot of fans. Especially our N'Oleans cousin, Erin! Thinking of you Er! There's something so sexy about a man who can sing and play the guitar. I'm a Mayer fan, even though he's a huge playa.
Anyone think Eminem, our TO Boy Drake and Lil Wayne are going to close the show? Hope so! Love me some Em.
I love Gaga as much as the next person but come on! Why would she wear that?! It's so rude for the guy sitting behind her. I wish it was someone famous, now that would be hilarious. Is it just me or does she always look slightly irritated by her outfits?
Holy crap! What is Tarantino on? LMAO. This has to be good. Too many bleeps. It's annoying. Just let it play, whose kids are awake at 11:15pm anyways?? Wicked that Drake is in with these guys. Way to go Degrassi kid. I effing love Eminem. Mad talent.
WOW Swifty for Album of the Year! Good for her. Too bad she bombed her earlier performance. What a cutie though.
Over all, an alright show. Thought they kinda blew it with the MJ Tribute considering they really could have rocked it. Gaga and Elton John definitely my favourite performance. Comment below and tell me what yours was!
Hope you enjoyed reading :)

T-G-I-freaking-F!
Hey Ya'll!
Isn't 'Ya'll' fun to say! I'm busting it out for our southern folks! They can get away with saying it where I just sound stupid, but you can't tell the difference when I write it can you? Ack, maybe you can but just let me have this one!
Sorry I've been mia the past couple days. We've all been fighting colds. Yes, Nate has a cold again. It's so frustrating. The Dr said he probably just caught back to back viruses more like a back to back pain in my ass! So now I have the cold too :( I'm feeling good today thanks to a great sleep last night! Does sleep ever make a difference when you're sick! I'm trying to get used to the fact that this next child may not sleep at all, I think it's better to expect the worse then to be living in a sleep filled dream world. My advice to new parents, assume your child is not going to sleep then if he/she does you'll be pleasantly surprised! There's nothing more awesome than a child that sleeps. Thank you Nate :)
Baby time! I'm in week 18! YAY! Almost in week 20, almost half way! Below is what's going on with the baby this week. Baby starts hiccuping this week. Nate had the hiccups all the time, it's so cute! I love feeling the baby and can't wait until that happens more often. Right now it's just internal flutters etc but the real fun starts once you can see/feel it from the outside.
For all Mom's and Mom's to bed out there, one of my favourite websites to visit is Baby Centre it's Canadian and there are tons of different message boards where you can vent or find a lot of useful information from other Moms. Two of my favourites are the July 2010, everyone who frequents this board is due in July 2010, it's great to have women who can relate to you. I also LOVE the toddler board, I find this so useful when I have questions about Nate like moving to a big boy bed or when to stop giving them bottles, potty training etc. I highly recommend you check it out.
We're going to be moving Naters into a big boy bed soon. Obviously this has to be done before the baby comes. I'm torn on whether to just buy a toddler bed or a regular twin. I figure we do one of two things a) buy a toddler bed then move him into a regular sized double bed once the baby needs the toddler bed or b) buy a twin for Nate then move him into a double bed once the baby needs the twin. I want Nate to eventually have a double anyways because it's one more place guests can sleep when they come to stay with us. What did ya'll do when moving your kids out of their cribs?
We're really hoping to buy a house before the baby comes. There are a few things that have to happen for everything to work out but we're praying all goes well. It just doesn't make sense AT ALL to rent anymore. When I think of the thousands of dollars we spend a year renting it makes me sick. I would love, love, love to have a place to call our own. It's so important to us! Ideally we're looking for a 3 bedroom in the Pickering/Ajax area. This puts us out of the city but close. I like the area and we have friends that live around there too. Also it's a bit closer to home, obviously not much but it would shave about a half our off our travel time which is always nice!
So what's everyone got planned for this weekend? I'm thinking dinner or a movie with the girls on Sunday night. We really haven't been spending much time together lately and need to make more of an effort. I miss everyone!!!
Have a great weekend everyone!
