It was the morning of January 16th at 10am, at 40 weeks and 3 days pregnant, when I was going to the freezer to take something out for supper. I went into the storage room and stepped over the crawl space hole that hadn't been covered up yet from the night before, when all of a sudden it felt like I peed myself a little. I thought "oh great... I'm peeing myself without sneezing or coughing now." So I grabbed some pork steaks and started dreaming of what I was going to make for dinner that night (BBQ pork steaks, perogies & Caesar salad, if you were wondering!). Then I scooted across the hall to the bathroom to check out the pee situation. There was a palm sized wet spot on my shorts, & then it occurred to me.. "Hey.. Could this be my water breaking?!" You always hear of women having this big gush of water, but this was just a palm sized wet spot. So I smelled it. Duh, who wouldn't. It didn't smell like pee. It didn't smell like anything really... & my shorts were red so I couldn't see the colour. So I cleaned up and put on some light coloured underwear in case it happened again.. Put on leggings & went back upstairs. I told Bo (my boyfriend) "I think my water might be breaking??". He just kinda stared at me with wide eyes, not knowing what to say. Hahah. So I asked him to go get me a towel to sit on, because I knew if my water broke on my parents furniture, my step dad would NEVER let me forget it lol! I had been having mild contractions for a few days prior to this, & Steve (step-dad) would always jokingly tell me that I better not have my water break on the reclining chair! To which I would reply, "do you know how friggin rare it is for a woman to have her water break spontaneously??" (Haha! Jokes on me!) So anyway, Bo brings me back the towel, folds it up and puts it on the chair and just as I'm about to sit down, mid squat, I feel more liquid trickling out. So I go straight to the bathroom and sit down on the toilet & as I do, even more fluid comes out! Wooo my water is breaking!! I stuff a couple pads in my underwear, run out to the living room & excitedly tell Bo that my water definitely broke! Then I texted my mom, my cousin Bri, and my two friends Ashley & Emily. Then I was like, now what? So I finished packing my hospital bag & then made some lunch for Hunter and I, then took a selfie for Instagram & Facebook, obviously.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was about 12pm when I decided I should call the hospital & let them know I would be coming in soon. My contractions hadn't started yet but I tested positive for GBS so I would have to go in to get the antibiotics started. For the next couple hours, I stood over a towel watching Friends and swaying my hips, trying to bring contractions on. By about 1-1:30pm, my mom & Steve were both home. Bo, Hunter & I took a couple last photos together as a family of 3 & we started packing up the car.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We (Bo, my mom & I) got to the hospital around 2pm & I was finally starting to have random contractions here and there. We got settled into our room & I got changed into a hospital gown, which lasted about 10 seconds before I changed into my own robe. I then had my vitals checked, baby's heart rate was checked, my IV was put in & antibiotics were started. While we sat around waiting for some timeable contractions, we put on a Friends DVD and ate snacks mom got from Sobeys and Tim Hortons... Yum! My contractions started pretty quickly and fell into a pretty quick pattern of 30 seconds long, every 3 minutes. The nurse came in and checked me probably around 3pm & I was already at a 3 to a 4! By 3cm with Hunter, I was ready to throw in the towel!! So to say I was pleasantly surprised was an understatement! We kept on watching Friends & I kept eating between contractions because I was so hungry!! Lol. Bo also hung up my birth affirmations around the room & taped my birth plan to the door. I continued to have 30-40 second contractions increasing to every 2 minutes & definitely increasing in intensity. I was standing at the edge of the bed leaning over but then ended up sitting on a birthing ball for awhile while I swayed my hips from side to side. I kept waiting for my contractions to get longer but they didn't really change in duration until the very end, which was so nice! I was able to hit the peak of my contraction and then as it faded away, I would come right back to normal for a minute or two before the next one would come. Let me tell you... It was SO NICE! Having been induced with Pitocin with Hunter, plus him being posterior, giving me terrible back labour, I didn't get a break between contractions what so ever. It was just constantly peaking! So as I'm getting these more intense contractions, maybe somewhere around 5pm, I asked to be checked. I was really curious as to how I was progressing. I wanted to make sure these contractions were actually doing something! So she did, and I was about a 6 to a 7! Hellooooo! Excitement all over again because it was at this point with Hunter that I already had a couple doses of Fentanyl and got an epidural! I felt so good about my labour at this point because I was still rocking the shit out of my contractions and knew I could absolutely keep going, medication free! So there I went, labouring on. Bo wasn't allowed to go far because I needed him to rub my lower back/butt to give me counter pressure as my contractions came and went. He even found this lotion in the bathroom that he kept using. Oh it was nice! He would also pop candies in my mouth every once in awhile. There was one point where I had to spit a half chewed Mike & Ike into my hand because I got a contraction and didn't want to choke on it from all the deep breathing hahah! Probably by 8cm, aka transition, I was on my knees with the back of the bed almost perfectly vertical and was hanging onto it for every contraction. I did end up using some laughing gas at this point.. I'm not even sure if it was working, but the noise it made when I would inhale REALLY kept my breathing in a great flow. So much of me wanted to tense up and hold my breath, but the fluttering noise the mask was making helped me tremendously! I got so in sync with my breathing. Super deep inhales and exhales. "Breathe in relaxation, breathe out tension" was one of the affirmations that kept running through my head. I do remember becoming a bit vocal at this point too... Breathing in deep, then breathing out with a "whooooooooooo" sound.... But then after maybe 30 minutes of this, I had a handful of contractions where I was super quiet. I think I knew that shit was about to get real! I wasn't talking much between contractions anymore... And they were starting to go extra long, almost like they were back to back. I also had to get my second round of antibiotics at this point. I barely remember any of that happening because my eyes were shut and I was facing the back of the bed & the wall. I remember telling Bo really fast to "get on the bed" because I needed him to give me counter pressure at a better angle then where he was...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's when I feel it. The urge to push. You always hear women say how they got the urge and how it was so nice to push against the contraction. Well apparently I was too scared to push or something, because I wasn't pushing when I felt the urge. This was about the time when I was about to ask for drugs... But I just kept telling myself "that means that she is going to be here soon!!! I feel like quitting because I'm super close to meeting my baby. I CAN do this!! I'm almost there!" My body was absolutely bearing down on it's own & I just continued to ride the waves. The room was all of a sudden filled with people and the doctor came in. I remember having a few contractions where I just felt completely primal and animalistic. My body was bearing down and I was letting out this noise that I can't even describe.... Kind of like a long groan through my teeth. I remember feeling something, looking down quick and seeing a couple drops of blood on the bed. The doctor checked me and I vaguely remember her saying something about having a lip left. She kept her fingers in there (detailed much? No modesty here.. Hahah) & told me to push! I pretty much did the opposite and tried to pull away & then I dropped my fluttering noise mask. She then made Bo stop rubbing my back & wouldn't let my mom give me the mask back and said to me, very sternly, "don't pull away, PUSH!" So I did. I had a contraction pretty much right away and I pushed right through it, reached down and felt my baby's head coming out. I could feel her hair! Another contraction, another hard push, and I could feel the rest of her head coming through my body. I told myself "I just need to push her shoulders out and then she'll be here!" So I beared down right away, pushed really hard one last time & at 7:09pm I felt her little body being quickly delivered earth side.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She was out! I did it! I birthed my baby exactly the way I wanted and needed to. I originally wanted to pull her out myself & do immediate skin to skin, but in the moment, and in the position I was in, it just wasn't going to happen.. & that was totally fine! Bo was able to scoop her up right away and be the first one to hold her. I remember people asking me if I wanted to turn around and I just kept saying no, but with a huge smile on my face. I knew she was safe with her daddy. I leaned against the back of the bed, still on my knees, with the umbilical cord between my legs. I was too shaky and kind of scared to move because I was still physically connected to my baby and hadn't delivered the placenta yet. We had put delayed cord clamping for a minimum of 5 minutes on our birth plan & that's exactly what they let us do. The doctor helped Bo pass my little girl up to me between my legs so I could see the little piece of heaven that I just brought into the world. She was beautiful! I couldn't believe how amazingly beautiful she was. I held her close to my heart and kissed her head over and over and kept saying out loud "I did it!!" Everyone kept telling me how amazing I was and how gorgeous my baby was. I felt like a friggin goddess! I was completely on cloud 9. 5 minutes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
later, I was asked if it was ok to clamp the cord, & I said yes! I handed Bowie off to her dad again while they clamped the cord & then I was handed a pair of scissors. I got to cut my baby's cord while her dad held her! I'm so happy I was able to do that! Since I was now no longer connected to her, I comfortably resumed my position against the back of the bed and got ready to deliver the placenta. The back of the bed was my safe place apparently! I remember not wanting to push. My crotch was sore!! Haha! I do remember trying to slowly push it out & kept asking if I was doing ok and saying that I was trying! All of a sudden, I felt the placenta kind of release or detach I guess, from the uterine wall & there was pressure on my vagina. Once that happened, I pushed one last time and it was out. Oh my sweet baby Jesus. The complete relief of having an empty belly once again. It was incredible!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was then able to lift my legs and they changed the pads that were underneath me and I was finally able to sit on my butt. I ripped my bra off and Bo gave me my little baby girl. She was so tiny! All 7lbs 8oz of her. And all the hair, oh my goodness.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The doctor then examined my vag to make sure all was good, and thankfully, no tears!! (I had minimal tears with Hunter which required stitches & they were a pain to recover with! Especially when I had to pee!) I was still shaking like crazy, so the nurses brought me a bunch of warm blankets and bundled us up. It felt so nice! I remember the doctor saying "let's see you feed that baby!" So I brought Bowie's mouth to my boob and after maybe 30 seconds of rooting around, she latched on! She stayed there for a good 20-30 minutes and then even latched on to the other side for another 10-15 minutes! While we were snuggled up in blankets and enjoying all the hormones, Bo fed me candies, Reese's peanut butter cups and sips of apple juice. It was great!! It took us probably a good hour before I got up and took a shower and we moved into the next room to settle in for the night. We all got some cuddles before putting Friends back on and then curling up in bed and going to sleep. She had a wonderful first night full of SLEEP! I had to wake her for feedings because she was such a sleepy head, and still is!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She is such a great baby. So content and peaceful. It still amazes me how teeny tiny she is! She's the perfect addition to our family.... The calm to Hunters storm haha!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had the best experience in the world at our hospital! They were so kind and supportive and respected all my wishes. They made my labour and birth so memorable and I'm so thankful!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Every time I think of that day, I smile from ear to ear. It fills me with so much love and pride! I walked into my labour with the greatest confidence and determination and walked out the happiest and proudest mother of two!</div>

^^^^ I contemplated posting this shot because my whole butt is just hanging out there... But it is one of my favorites! I love everything about it. The vernix all over Bowie, the umbilical cord, the position that I labored and birthed in, the smile on my doctors face and Bo's arm across my back. This was so empowering for me and I never want to forget it! </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;">In need of! Even though I haven't gained any weight, my belly is a lot bigger than when I was pregnant with Hunter.

<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;">I just came from a second ultrasound so I got to see my baby again!

<span style="font-family: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;"><b>How far along?</b> </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.0px;">13 Weeks </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; min-height: 19px; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><b>Total weight gain:</b></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Ive been losing and gaining since I got pregnant.. So I'm not too sure what my weight is now in comparison to when I got pregnant. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; min-height: 19px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>

<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Still wearing my regular clothes, and probably will be for awhile. I lost weight before I got pregnant, and lost another 8 lbs while being pregnant, so all my clothes have a bit of wiggle room now. I still plan on buying some maternity leggings, at least 1 pair of jeans, and a couple tank tops. Those were the things I needed the most last time around! </span></div>

<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.0px;">I wish I could sleep all day. If I didn’t already have a baby to take care of, I would nap at 11am and 4pm. I get so exhausted right around those times. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Well hello, hello pregnancy updates round 2! How exciting!</span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> <span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">We found out were expecting baby #2 about a month ago and couldn't wait to share the news with family and friends! It's funny how last time I was pregnant, I didn't want to let anyone know until I was at least 12 weeks, but this time I think we kept the news to ourselves for maybe a week? We had planned to conceive this baby, so we were very excited to see that positive test the first month of trying! Were very happy to be expanding our family and making Hunter a big brother! </span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>How far along?</b> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">9 weeks!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Current due date is January 13/2017 which happens to be on a Friday. </span></div>
<div style="min-height: 17px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Total weight gain:</b> </span></div>
<div style="min-height: 17px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I'm pretty certain I've lost weight.. I don't have a scale but I finally was weighed at the NP's office today, so I'll know for future updates what I've gained. </span></div>
<div style="min-height: 17px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Maternity clothes: </b> </span></div>
<div style="min-height: 17px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Not yet, but I'm definitely going to buy some for this time around... Nothing fancy or brand new, just whatever I can get second hand. I wore all my regular clothes when I was pregnant with Hunter, but the 3 maternity tops I did have, were so nice! I have a long torso, so if I wasn't wearing a long tank top under my shirt, my belly would be popping out the bottom.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="min-height: 17px; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Stretch marks: </span></b></div>
<div style="min-height: 17px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Nothing new yet... But I'm sure they'll make their appearance later on & that's okay. They can join the millions of others on my belly and hips. I actually don't mind stretch marks at all. They have never really made me self conscious... Which I'm thankful for. After I became a mom, I became much more humble and gentle towards my body.... In turn, I ended up seeing my new mom pouch and stretch marks as just another part of motherhood! Plus all the stretched skin on my belly is so soft, and Hunter loves hugging it <3 </span></div>
<div style="min-height: 17px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Sleep: </span></b></div>
<div style="min-height: 19px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Well I still breastfeed throughout the night with Hunter, and he is usually in my bed somewhere between 12am and 4am....So my sleep is as good as it can get for now. Until the big ol belly appears.. Dun dun dunnnnnnnnn. </span></div>
<div style="min-height: 19px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Best moment this week: </span></b></div>
<div style="min-height: 19px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">When I asked Hunter "Where is the baby?"... He pointed to my belly and then hugged it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I should also mention he's 14 months old & we've never showed him where the baby is before. So it was pretty darn adorable.. It may or may not have made me cry a little bit. </span></div>
<div style="min-height: 19px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Miss anything? </span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">My energy. As well as not </span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">having</span></span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> morning sickness. Blaaahhhhhh.</span><b> </b></span></span></div>
<div style="min-height: 17px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Movement: </span></b></div>
<div style="min-height: 17px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Nope. I felt Hunter at 17 weeks, and then Bo felt him just a couple days later, so I'm interested to see when I'll start feeling this little one flutter around. </span></div>
<div style="min-height: 17px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Food cravings:</b> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I don't have constant cravings, but I'll get a random "Ohhhh, I want that!". One of those was a pizza with mushrooms and onions - which is something I would never ever ordinarily order..... & the other was mini rainbow chip Chips Ahoy cookies! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Anything making you queasy or sick? </span></b></div>
<div style="min-height: 19px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Oh you know, just waking up... breathing.. The morning sickness is sooooo rotten this time around. I thought I had it bad with Hunter, but oh my. I've had to stop drinking coffee because I got sick before I would even finish a cup... Also grocery shopping in the raw meat section always turns my stomach.</span></div>
<div style="min-height: 19px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="min-height: 19px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Gender: </b><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="min-height: 17px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">No idea. I have an ultrasound booked for August 17th & I'll be almost 19 weeks then, so we'll know the gender then! We're feeling girl this time <3 </span></div>
<div style="min-height: 17px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Labour signs: </b> </span></div>
<div style="min-height: 17px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Goodness no. </span></div>
<div style="min-height: 17px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Symptoms: </b> </span></div>
<div style="min-height: 17px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Extreme fatigue and nausea. It's 10x worse than it was with Hunter.. It's kind of incredible how tired a woman can get during that first trimester. It's unreal! </span></div>
<div style="min-height: 17px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Belly button in or out?</b> </span></div>
<div style="min-height: 17px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In!</span></div>
<div style="min-height: 17px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Happy or moody most of the time:</b> </span></div>
<div style="min-height: 19px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Very happy to be pregnant, but for the most part, I'm so MOOOODDDYYYY. I blame it on being sick all day. It really takes a toll on a person when you can't even bounce your baby to sleep or sing him songs because you mouth being open makes you want to puke. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Looking forward to: </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Well, I want to say my ultrasound... but that's forever away... So I'm going to say my next prenatal which is on the 28th! Excited to hear this little one's heart beat! </span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">So this is obviously late if you </span>couldn't<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> tell by the title... Haha! Oops.. So neglectful... But here I am now.... Determined to finish this post to round up the first year of Hunter's updates! I stopped doing monthly updates after 9 months </span>because<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> everything seemed to be about the same!</span></span></span><br />

<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">He weighed 24 lbs at his 1 year appointment. I don't think she told me his height, because I can't seem to come up with a number... We did measure him on the wall, but that's in his room, and he is currently sleeping in there.... & since I'm determined to finish this post tonight, we're just going to have to scratch the height.</span><br />

It's been basically the same thing for a few months now. He wakes up </span>somewhere<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> between 7am-8am and we usually take it pretty easy... Have some snacks, watch the Wiggles... Then a nap somewhere in the late morning, early afternoon. Then play, lunch, play, snacks.. The typical things you would do with a 1 year old I guess! Lots of playing outside since we've been spoiled with good weather the whole year! The one part of our day that's </span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: "times";">always the same is the evening when I start cooking dinner. Dinner at 6pm, bath RIGHT after because #MessyBaby. Then we hang out and play until bedtime at 8pm!</span></span><br />

Holy moly watch out. He goes to bed for the night at 8pm. Then usually comes into bed with me somewhere after midnight. I'll nurse him back to sleep & then he'll usually only wake up 1 more time before the morning to breastfeed. </span></span><br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">He likes to </span>graze<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> throughout the day... It's easier to </span>give<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> him snacks then it is to sit him down and try </span>give him a meal, except for dinner. We'll usually start the morning with yogurt and frozen berries + chia seeds, which I help him eat because that's not a mess I want to clean up first thing in the morning haha! I'll sometimes sit him in his high chair for lunch, which is usually leftovers, or a mix of random fruits, veggies, cheese, bread, etc. Some of his favourite snacks/foods are: yogurt & frozen berries, together or separate. He's obsessed. He also loves marble or mozza cheese, pickles, peas, bagels, bread, spaghetti, & tacos to name a few! Oh and he breastfeeds like 938759237652 times a day. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">He's been walking/running around since he was 9 months old.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">He has 8 teeth and I think his molars are trying to come in because ho wa! #TeethingIsAnAsshole</span><br />

Hunter and I have been having a very interesting few days. We have been sharing some very special moments between us that we've never really had before (along with some very emotional ones as well). The older he gets, the more in tune with everything he becomes. He's seriously one of the smartest little people I know. He's so intelligent.</div>

The other morning, I brought him to my room so I could get dressed. I was in the middle of changing my shirt, when Hunter looked over, saw my boobs, and gave me the most adorable, loving, excited look ever! (Breastfed baby problems, am I right?? Haha!) So I of course sat down, on the floor, and nursed him for a few minutes while he played with my hair and tried to stick his whole hand in my mouth. When he was done, I sat him in front of me while I put a shirt back on. He was staring at me so sweetly this whole time. Let me just note here, Hunter is usually the <u>busiest</u> baby in the world. Always gotta be doing something. Always babbling away in his cute baby talk. Always on the go! So to see him so calm and sitting there, plus looking at me the way he was, was so moving. So I sat and looked at him looking at me. <i>He's the sweetest thing Ive ever seen in my life.</i> All I can think is how amazing this little child is. <i>This is my son! MY son! He's incredible.</i> So I lean over and hug him, my arm wrapped around him and my head pressed against his. Then he takes his arm and puts it on mine and starts to lightly scratch my arm. More of a tickle. He leans his head into mine and just holds it there. We sat on the floor hugging for probably 2 minutes before he moved. </div>

<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">1. Start by pricking your pie crust with a fork and "blind baking"** it in a preheated 400F degree oven for 10 minutes. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">2. Heat oil in a skillet on medium heat. Add garlic, onion and green pepper and cook until they start to get some colour, add beans, taco seasoning and water. Stir until combined and turn heat off. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">3. When your crust is done, bake uncovered for another 10-15 minutes until nice and golden. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">4. In a separate bowl, mix together the eggs, milk and salt and pepper to taste. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">5. When your crust is ready, pour the seasoned skillet mixture evenly into crust. Add the tomatoes, followed by the egg mixture and then top it off with the cheese. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">6. Bake in 400 degree oven for 25 minutes or until the top starts to turn golden and the edges are set. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: left;">

I've officially breastfed Hunter for (almost) 42 weeks. I've nourished him earth side as long as I did in utero! How amazing!My overall experience so far has been a pretty great one! We haven't had any real struggles in regards to latching and supply. I've said this before, but while I was pregnant, I always said that if I could have anything go my way, it would be to breastfeed easily. It's been such a blessing to have that come true. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilLkmvb9ULLViPY9T5zmtLbpxQyeI238C6ROpWmpZsUwH5mu0mJVjFfqPXiZf_ezmRW-8IlHrdL2IOBfngtjsN3zEIgJuZ7n7KKd7H4GW3v1keJcOBqtCK1aqn8ywjeMjFBtzzVHvzjobN/s1600/IMG_1657.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilLkmvb9ULLViPY9T5zmtLbpxQyeI238C6ROpWmpZsUwH5mu0mJVjFfqPXiZf_ezmRW-8IlHrdL2IOBfngtjsN3zEIgJuZ7n7KKd7H4GW3v1keJcOBqtCK1aqn8ywjeMjFBtzzVHvzjobN/s640/IMG_1657.jpg" width="460" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was Hunter's very first latch. I'm so thankful his dada thought to take photos and videos during this time. I was so focused on Hunter that it didn't even cross my mind to document anything! He was maybe 20 minutes old and he was instantly nuzzling my chest, trying to find his milk! I sat up and latched him on and that was it! He was sucking right away and did so for probably 10 minutes! It's funny because to this day, he often nurses for 10 minutes and he's done!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I nursed Hunter as much as possible but we ended up "topping him up", as the nurses would call it, with formula, during our 5 day hospital stay. He would nurse nurse nurse & then I would feed him an ounce of formula. (To this day, I still regret giving him formula & not trusting my body to do it's thing. Breastmilk usually comes in around 3 days postpartum. My milk didn't come in until day 5 and I feel like giving him formula and not the boob may have helped in delaying the process, along with all the stress of our extra stay.)</div>

After a day or 2 at home, I ended up quitting the formula cold turkey. He was only getting an ounce every few hours and my milk was finally in so I deemed it unnecessary! The above three photos are him holding his hands so sweetly. He used to nurse like this all the time! It was so nice! Now, I get hands and feet in the face. He pinches me, sticks his fingers in my mouth and twist and turns his head. Oh and he also likes to stand or be like, downward facing dog type positions.... 9 month olds are fun to nurse people! Haha!!</div>

The first few weeks are a complete blur. I literally feel like all I did was nurse Hunter! I remember he did a lot of cluster feeding during his growth spurts. He still nurses quite often now when he's teething or just having a bad day. Breastfeeding is nourishment and comfort all in one convenient little package! The photo directly above is REAL life! Sleeping, looking like a hot mess, boob out, baby snuggled in close. Oh and "mom arm". Don't forget the mom arm. Am I right ladies? </div>

I did try to pump. I wanted to pump so I could bring bottles to town with us. It was easier just to give him a bottle in the car instead of having to get out, hop in the backseat and nurse him (which is easier said then done with a small 2 door car!) Well, turns out, I can't pump very easily! It takes me all day, sometimes 2 days, to pump a bottle big enough for him to drink for <u>one</u> feeding. I have never pumped more then 3 oz in one sitting. The most I usually get from pumping is 2 oz. Still to this day, I'll try to pump, and Ill get maybe 1 oz from one boob. So, now I don't bother. The above photo is me breastfeeding Hunter in the back seat while his dada washed the car at the carwash! Haha! It's a bit more convenient now that he's older and eating food. I can just give him a banana or a muffin and he'll be content. </div>

This is one of my all time favourite photos. I remember taking it, very clearly. It was really early in the morning one summer day. The window above my head was open and the cool morning breeze was coming in. I could hear the ducks quacking down at the bottom of the yard. I thought Hunter was going to wake up for the day but as soon as he started nursing, he dozed off. He was barely latched on and I could feel his slobber all over my boob. Haha little sweetheart. He was just in a diaper, snuggled under the blankets with me. It was the <u>best</u>.<br />

We mastered laying down nursing somewhere between 2 and 3 months. I would always nurse him while I sat and he laid propped on a pillow. When we finally got comfortable enough to nurse laying down, it was a game changer! Then he learned to sit up on his own, or at least with me holding him, and then he wanted to nurse like that for awhile hahah! Now that he's 9 months old, I literally don't have to do anything in the middle of the night when he's in bed with me. He'll just roll over, find my boob and dream feed! It's a life saver in the sleep department! I've never really had too many "up all night with the baby" moments. I can probably count on both hands, how many times we've had a rough night. </div>

I really have always been so thankful for my ability to breastfeed my son with such ease. It's comforting knowing you're giving your baby the absolute best nourishment they can receive. Plus! It's so incredibly convenient! After having such a successful breastfeeding journey, I don't know how I could ever prepare bottles for an infant! With all the cleaning and sterilizing (plus, I don't have a dishwasher), and the mixing and warming. Maybe that says something about my laziness. Haha!!<br />

One this is for sure, like I said, it's not ALL sunshine and rainbows! .... But for me, its pretty close. Sometimes I just want to go a few hours without being touched. Or I just want to give in and give him formula because I'm tired of being the ONLY one who can feed him. Those feelings usually don't last too long. The endorphins during a nursing session usually crumble the negative feelings. </div>

There are so many opinions on breastfeeding these days. What age you breastfeed them to, if you breastfeed in public, if you cover up while nursing, the list goes on. I'm trying to be a part of the group of women who promote breastfeeding and all the positive things that come with it. Normalize it again! Make nursing breasts non sexual and see them as what they are meant for; nourishment and comfort. It's such a wonderful bonding experience. I want to be a part of the positive movement! It's nice to hear stories and experiences of others. I know it's helped me! If I can be a positive influence in a nursing woman's life, I'll be happy!</div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><b>Height/Weight:</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">The last time we weighed him, maybe a week ago, he was 23 lbs! </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">I haven't tried measuring him, so I don't know how tall he is. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><b>Routine: </b></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">You can put an "ish" after all these times... Nothing is ever at a specific time, but this is a pretty close estimate. Oh and there's breastfeeding </span>in-between everything whenever he wants to nurse.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
8am: Wake up, change diaper, make coffee, sweep & play</div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
10am: Breakfast.. We used to do breakfast closer to when we would wake up, but I found he just didn't have the patience to wait for me to cook, and then he would barely eat... I think he needed to work up more of an appetite. </div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
11am: Change clothes, then nap</div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
1:30pm: Lunch</div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
If we do anything for the day, after lunch is our prime time of the day to go out. He's usually the happiest & most patient in the early afternoon!</div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
3pm: Nap</div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
5pm: I start making dinner</div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
5:30pm: Potential nap. This nap is a hit and miss. He is always SO tired around this time but always refuses to go down for a sleep. If he does, he only naps for about 20 minutes... but those 20 minutes make all the difference. </div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
6pm: Eat dinner</div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
6:45pm: Bath, jammies + read books and play. </div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
While Hunter's in the tub, Bo watches him while I quickly sweep the kitchen and living room.</div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
8:00pm: Daddy takes Hunter to bed. </div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
Mommy then gets to clean the kitchen, do dishes, pick up all Hunter's books and toys, etc. </div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
9:30pm: Hunter has been waking up about an hour after he falls asleep for the night. Dad will go in and bounce him back to sleep & then he'll sleep for 2-3 hours. </div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
12am: Wakes up & then comes to bed with mom and dad & dream feeds all night :) </div>

<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><b>Sleeping: </b></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times;">There really hasn't been much change in the sleep department. He goes to bed at the same time every night and wakes up every 2-3 hours to dream feed. He takes 2 sometimes 3 naps a day. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Times;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><b>Eating/Feeding:</b></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">He breastfeeds probably 4-7 times a day. It changes </span>depending<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> on many factors.... His mood, </span></span><span style="font-family: Times;">teething, how much solids he's had, etc. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times;">I try to give him breakfast, lunch and dinner every day. Sometimes we skip lunch. Sometimes we just have small snacks all day. It really just depends on what we have, or what/when I'm eating. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times;">Some of his favourite things to eat is pasta, any kind of meat, butternut squash and yogurt.. Oh and he stole my pizza crust right out of my hand the other day, and he seemed to really enjoy it. Haha!</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><b>Sizes:</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">His clothing sizes are still kind of all over the place. I would say he's mainly in 12 months. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Size 4 diapers.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">*He started walking TODAY! It was so amazing! Head over to my Facebook to see the quick video!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">*He has cut his 2 top teeth! Which brings him to a grand total of 4 teeth! </span></div>

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! It seriously is my most favourite time of year. We've been listening to Christmas music non-stop for a week now. Hunter is absolutely obsessed with Jingle Bells & he loves the sparkly ornaments! He's going to be obsessed with Christmas just like his mama! We're not going big on Christmas gifts this year, if we even get any at all! Just a few small things for Hunter to open so we can have that wonderful "first time" opening presents on Christmas morning memory! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Having said that, here are some things this mama would definitely have on the Christmas wish list!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
1. <a href="http://www.amazon.ca/Wonderful-World-Seuss-Giftbox-%C3%A5%C2%A399-99/dp/B011T7VKXI/ref=sr_1_7?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1448999443&sr=1-7&keywords=how+the+grinch+stole+christmas">Dr Seuss 20 Book Gift Box Set!</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I mean.. For obvious reasons! Who wouldn't want this! Hunter is obsessed with books and reading & we (mom & dad) LOVE Dr. Seuss! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. <a href="http://www.dsw.com/shoe/fergalicious+rodeo+wide+calf+riding+boot?prodId=339473">Over the Knee Wide Calf Boots</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are no words to describe how sad it is to have huge calves. Finding a great pair of over the knee boots is near impossible! I had a pair that I found at Charlotte Russe that were incredible, but they got worn down and ruined so I had to throw them away :( Wa wa wa.</div>

<div style="font-family: times; font-size: 16px;">
<b style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Height/Weight: </b></div>
<div style="font-family: times; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">I tried to measure him myself and I got 73cm.... How accurate that is, I don't know. I can't even remember how long he was at his 6 month appointment! </span></div>
<span style="font-family: times;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">We just weighed him and he weighs 21.2lbs. Considering how much he eats, I'm quite surprised he's only gained a pound in the last month!</span></span><br />
<div style="font-family: times; font-size: 16px;">
<b style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><br /></b></div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<div style="font-family: times; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><b>Routine:</b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: times;">It's basically the same as last month... but here are approximate times to our daily routine with play time in-between everything!</span><br />
<div style="font-family: times; font-size: 16px;">
7am-7:30am: Wake up + breastfeed</div>
<div style="font-family: times; font-size: 16px;">
8:30am: Oatmeal + fruit breakfast</div>
<div style="font-family: times; font-size: 16px;">
12pm: Nap</div>
<div style="font-family: times; font-size: 16px;">
1pm: Breastfeed + lunch</div>
<div style="font-family: times; font-size: 16px;">
3pm: Nap </div>
<div style="font-family: times; font-size: 16px;">
4pm: Breastfeed</div>
<div style="font-family: times; font-size: 16px;">
5:30pm: Possible nap...... This one is hit or miss. If he's not in his crib napping by 5:30 at the latest, we kiss this nap goodbye & work on keeping him entertained until dinner.</div>
<div style="font-family: times; font-size: 16px;">
6pm: Breastfeed + dinner</div>
<div style="font-family: times; font-size: 16px;">
7pm: Bath & books</div>
<div style="font-family: times; font-size: 16px;">
8pm: Bedtime</div>
<div style="font-family: times; font-size: 16px;">
<b><br /></b></div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><b>Sleeping:</b></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">He takes every nap in his crib + when he goes to bed for the night. He'll wake up sometime before midnight to breastfeed, then I'll bring him back to his crib if I'm awake enough. If not, I'll keep him in my bed with me. I'll almost always keep him in bed with me the second time he wakes up though.... Simply because I fall asleep nursing him.</span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<div style="font-family: times; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><b>Eating/Feeding:</b></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: times;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">He breastfeeds the same amount, if not more then he was last month. He eats </span>breakfast<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> lunch & dinner and possibly another snack at some point in the day.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: times;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Click <a href="http://kristenpeebles.blogspot.ca/2015/11/what-my-8-month-old-ate-today.html">here</a> to see a blog post I did of what Hunter ate in a day :)</span></span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><b><span style="font-family: times;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><br /></span></span></b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<div style="font-family: times; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><b>Sizes: </b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: times;">His clothes are anywhere from 6 months to 18 months. I would say he's mostly in 9-12 month clothing though. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: times;">Size 4 diapers.</span><br />
<b><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<div style="font-family: times; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><b>Milestones: </b></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: times;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">He </span>hasn't<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> made too </span>much<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> more progress in the walking game. He's taken a maximum of 2 steps but now he seems to just be practicing standing for long periods of time. Fine by me!! </span></span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: times;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">This is such a fun age. He's doing things like, flipping the tabs in his flip books, or changing the page when I'm done reading it (without me telling him to) or he'll grab his </span>favourite<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> book (Brown Bear Brown Bear) off the shelf, or crawl over to me when he sees me getting his high chair or bib out. He's so good at making connections. He's also starting to repeat what he's doing if we encourage him or if he notices that we think he's being funny. It's so cute! </span></span></span></div>

Alright, so he'll be 8 months old in 2 days... Close enough! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You know what that means! An 8 month update! So be sure to keep and eye out for that because I feel like there's going to be some really cute photos up!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today I thought I would do something different & document what I feed my son in a day, besides breast milk! He still nurses a bunch of times a day. At the minimum, he nurses after every nap, which is usually 3 naps a day & then maybe 4 times a night. He's also been nursing quite a bit more lately in between naps. He usually doesn't nurse for very long, I think it's just for a quick comfort... Sometimes it's not even long enough for my let down to happen, but he INSISTS on it anyway haha! Fine by me!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So in the morning he semi-wakes up and breastfeeds before he is actually ready to wake up for the day. Then about 30 minutes later I get his breakfast ready. He always gets oatmeal cereal + 2 cubes of fruit puree. I'm not one of those moms who's all serious about organic, all natural, all homemade, yadda yadda food (sue me). I do prefer oatmeal cereal as opposed to rice cereal & if I had the patience to pump, I would use the organic oatmeal that's in the cupboard.. but I don't.. So here it is.. "Just add water" oatmeal cereal.. In all it's glory. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Let me tell you... This apple & cinnamon stuff is actually so good. I use 2 tablespoons of the cereal plus I added 2 apple purees to it, then I add enough water until I get a good consistency. He always eats the whole thing.</div>

For lunch: 1 piece of whole wheat bread with coconut butter drizzled on top. I also gave him 2 cubes of avocado/kiwi puree & 1 pear puree.</div>

He eats his toast on his own though. He looooves toast. Especially with peanut butter. I actually do use organic, natural peanut butter though when I give it to him, haha! This was his first time trying coconut butter & I don't think he was the <i>biiiiiiggest</i> fan... We'll have to try it again and see if he'll give it another shot. </div>

And lastly, for dinner: 3 cubes of purple carrot/cauliflower puree. He only ate maybe 1/3 of this. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then he had roasted butternut squash & some ham!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He much prefers to have his food cut in small pieces as opposed to strips [other then toast]. He had his pincer grasp down at like, 5 months, so he never really grabbed big smushy handfuls of anything. Can you tell he prefers the butternut squash over the ham? Haha it's definitely a favourite in this house! This is when I really love baby led. He munches on dinner while we munch on dinner. It's so convenient!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Like I said, this is just one day. We have all sort of snacks and meals. He also eats out of squeeze pouches on his own as well as popsicles I make for him. I'm not making any more purees since my freezer still has a ton. I went kind of puree crazy after I got my new steamer and immersion blender. Ahh exciting. But anyway, yes, working through what we have left and then he'll just eat all food cut in small pieces or as a whole, depending on what it is. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He also gets a sippy cup of water at dinner. We use the <a href="http://nuby.com/en/nuby/cups-spouts/9845/">Nuby No Spill Flip n Sip Cup</a> & love it! We had purchased a standard sippy cup first... you know, the ones with the big plastic mouth part with the 4 or so holes in the spout and you have to tilt it upside down to drink from it. Yah well, Hunter just wanted to chew on the end and couldn't get the whole 'tip it upside down' thing. When we got the Nuby, he figured it out right away and loves it. It's so cute to watch him eat. He'll just be munching away on dinner, stop, take a couple sips of water, then put his cup down and continue eating. I don't know why I find that so friggin adorable, must be a mom thing.. Ahhh my little human <3</div>

Hope you enjoyed this post! I thought to myself "I would love to know what mom's feed their children in a day!" So I thought I would make my own post! </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">This is an approximate time of his schedule. Times will vary, but it's <i>usually</i> somewhere around these times! His naps are like, maximum 1 hour. They usually tend to be around 40 mins.</span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">7am: Breastfeeds himself awake</span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">8am: Breakfast - Baby oatmeal with fruit </span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">9:30am: Nap</span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">10:30am: Wake up & breastfeed</span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">11:30am: This nap is a hit or miss and usually sets the tone of the day haha! He used to always take his 2 morning naps close together but then he started kind of phase it out & push it until the afternoon. It seems like it's coming back now.. We'll see.</span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">12:30pm: Wake up & breastfeed</span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">1:00pm: Lunch - 2 cubes of puree. I like to do something like fruit with quinoa or chia seeds, or a protein that isn't meat, like chick peas or black beans. </span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">3:00pm: Nap</span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">4:00pm: Wake up & breastfeed </span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">5:00pm: Dinner - I like to give him a meat & sweet potato puree or another protein, then a veggie or veggie/fruit combo for dessert. </span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">6:00pm: Bath time</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">6:30pm: Play and read like 10-15 books before we lay him down for the night. No joke, he loves reading. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">7:30pm-8:00pm: Bed time</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Then he wakes up maybe 4 times before morning to dream feed!</span><br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Well, were back to somewhat of a schedule. He had a week where everything was sooooo messed up, sleep wise. We had a night where he was wide awake at 3am & waking up for the day at 5am some other mornings. Gah it was terrible terrible terrible. </span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Now were back to about the same schedule as before. Waking up at 7am for the day, 3 naps, then down for the night at about 8pm. </span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I still bring him into my bed when he wakes up for the first or second time after he's gone down for the night, but when he wakes up to nurse around 5am, I usually bring him back to his crib. He doesn't seem to want to go back to sleep in my bed at that time, but if I put him in his crib, he'll pass right out! It's kind of nice, but it's also a little frustrating because I tend to stay awake and not fall back asleep for a long time!</span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">One day, we'll get a good system going that we both like. Maybe one day he'll even sleep through the night, in his crib! Haha.. Wishful thinking. </span></span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I have a huge stock of bagged homemade purees that I froze in ice cube trays.

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I always breastfeed before I give him solids.</span></span></span><br />

The journey through motherhood continues! Do I even have to say that I can't believe I have a 6 month old baby? I think it's a given that his age is always going to come as a shock to me haha!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMDD71Sy85L_-t5q3AEpMuuKyOE7i15OZB4zFUlDCGM51skCAbgMruy1RRIseqpU9RIZ0V2HVewdJLwc_o739D5Vj3FFO_L2ASxbG18fvNQ6WchJ8WJVls2V_fK6U-XLjeQpSCa3cHlaqR/s1600/IMG_8271.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMDD71Sy85L_-t5q3AEpMuuKyOE7i15OZB4zFUlDCGM51skCAbgMruy1RRIseqpU9RIZ0V2HVewdJLwc_o739D5Vj3FFO_L2ASxbG18fvNQ6WchJ8WJVls2V_fK6U-XLjeQpSCa3cHlaqR/s400/IMG_8271.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So lets just jump into it! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Sleep training is frikkin HARD, but it is so worth it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. It is so incredible when your baby learns something. Hunter learned to lift the flaps in his flap book & I cried. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. The very first solid food brings a crazy mix of emotions. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Is he going to want to stop breast-feeding?" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Is he going to choke on this?!" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Is he eating enough?" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Omg he loves it!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtkg5WB5mOrMbxhyphenhyphenHMpLNKyz0jThPQttkcz20S5dhrob9IehMK5qa-5IMotveZX99iCWZZ9oXD3h1aS9_cHtzjEt6yCH6zVKde0u2uzWdl9cZqz2kbCuo7gj0uhI5lMfNGHfjMcY4lTFlW/s1600/IMG_8589.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtkg5WB5mOrMbxhyphenhyphenHMpLNKyz0jThPQttkcz20S5dhrob9IehMK5qa-5IMotveZX99iCWZZ9oXD3h1aS9_cHtzjEt6yCH6zVKde0u2uzWdl9cZqz2kbCuo7gj0uhI5lMfNGHfjMcY4lTFlW/s640/IMG_8589.JPG" width="478" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. Having said all that, you're still going to be second guessing yourself. 6 months in, I thought things would be a bit easier, but I constantly second guess myself & am always pondering the millions of decisions that I face regarding my child. A mother always only wants whats best for her child, and the answers don't always fall in your lap. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. Once they learn how to crawl, that's it. There's no turning back. What has been learned, cannot be unlearned. Prepare to re-organize your living areas. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6. Teething is the biggest asshole. If you're lucky enough to have a baby who breezes through teething... Keep that information to yourself because my baby is the complete opposite & it's hard. It's so rough on him. Rosy cheeks, sore gums, irregular sleep... Gah!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
7. You may have had plans to make all your baby's food... or do baby led weaning.. or do this.... or do that.. If you stick to your original plan, wow.. good for you! Haha! I on the other hand, have mixed it all up! I said I wouldn't give him cereal. Well guess who eats baby oatmeal or ancient grain cereal every morning! Ive done a bit of baby led and a bunch of puree. I've made my own, I've bought the jars. Do what YOU want and feel comfortable with & what works for your baby! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
8. Changing diapers gets interesting when you're baby is trying to twist and turn and roll over and crawl away. By interesting, I mean annoying. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
9. This is SUCH a fun stage. Learning your baby's ever developing personality is the funnest thing! You see what makes them laugh, and they make you laugh. You can play together and watch their reactions. Seriously. So fun! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
10. The love is unreal. Especially when they can give you hugs and kisses now. A kiss from your 6 month old baby is definitely on the Top 5 Cutest Things in the World list. When they put their hands on your cheeks and open those slobbery mouths and attack your face... Melt my HEART!!! </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. <a href="http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B004Q3LBTG/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_1?pf_rd_p=1977604522&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B001LQCOIS&pf_rd_m=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&pf_rd_r=183D9M06TZGW77EWF691#productDetails">Baby Brezza One Step Baby Food Maker</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How frikkin cool would this be?? I'm just in the beginning stages of introducing solids to Hunter. We're doing a combination of baby led weaning as well as purees. Having this little magical machine steam and blend the food for me, all in one, sounds wonderful! Also, less dishes. Woo!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. <a href="http://www.sears.ca/product/vtech-safe-sound-full-colour-video-audio-monitor-vm321/632-000111740-0441696?gclid=CjwKEAjw1riwBRD61db6xtWTvTESJACoQ04Qnfbvq7ht8JHOBQBgjFQciWiSwYHFrm6v_VsR8_dq-hoCJQvw_wcB&extid=ca_1search_2en_3gogl_4productfeeds&s_kwcid=AL!4202!3!72615513657!!!g!126595165497!&ef_id=Vg82eQAABLB1qW0l:20151003015921:s">Video Baby Monitor</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not picky when it comes to a video monitor. I would just like to have video! Now that Hunter is mobile and pulls himself up on everything, it would be great to see what he's up to in his crib! I've seen some cool ones where the video can transmit to your iPhone or your computer. Those are pretty fancy and I don't think I need one that high-tech, but that's a good idea! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. <a href="https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/162920232/teething-necklace-in-jett-black?ref=shop_home_active_19">Teething Necklace</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't stress how much I <b><u>need</u></b> one of these! It's next on my "to buy" list for sure! Hunter is a big fan at clawing at my chest or grabbing onto my fingers or anything else he can get his hands on. He's such a distracted eater sometimes, and scratching my chest seems to keep him focused. <i>Ouch</i>. I think this will be a perfect distraction for Hunter! Plus how cute are they?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. <a href="http://store.ergobaby.com/baby-carrier/four-position-360/grey">Ergo Baby 360 Carrier</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This... This will be a great investment. Hunter isn't a fan of facing towards me, but he LOVES facing forward. This carrier allows for inward and forward as well as back and hip carry! Plus if you read all the features of it, it's definitely a winner & well worth the money. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. <a href="https://well.ca/products/nosefrida-the-snot-sucker-nasal_50847.html?gclid=CjwKEAjw1riwBRD61db6xtWTvTESJACoQ04Qx6R_zXyjtZ1ZGZaHA7IeIKAFrIjqsfc7uu0hHwnZ-xoCEKbw_wcB">The NoseFrida</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not even going to go into the whole "getting snot in your mouth" nonsense. If you honestly think you're going to suck boogers up into your mouth, get outta here. I'm sure there's a ton of moms out there who swear by this little gem. I can only imagine its 100x more useful and efficient then the typical snot bulb sucker things. I've heard nothing but good things about the NoseFrida!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6. <a href="http://www.amazon.ca/Little-Tikes-Coupe-Shopping-Yellow/dp/B00P7PO2ZC/ref=sr_1_7?s=baby&ie=UTF8&qid=1443831044&sr=1-7&keywords=cart+covers">Shopping Cart Cover</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hunter loves sitting in carts, and I actually prefer him sitting in carts now. It just makes everything so much easier. Downside? He loves trying to put his mouth on the cart because he's a baby and a teething one at that.....everything in the mouth - all the time. Shopping cart cover to the rescue! Plus it doubles as a high chair cover - you know, if we ever in our lives go out to a restaurant. Probably not, but never say never! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another item on my wish list is a camera! I don't even know where to stat when it comes to cameras. I don't know anything about the brands, Nikon, Canon..? I don't know anything about lenses... But I DO know that I wish I had a camera so I don't have to use my iPhone all the time, which is the iPhone 4 by the way.... I'm behind in the times. I want some good quality photos since I take a million of them a day. Plus I've always had a love for editing photos, & it would be nice to have some decent quality photos to work with haha! </div>

<div style="font-size: 16px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><b>Height/Weight:</b></span></div>
<span style="font-size: 16px;">We have an appointment on the 6th to get his shots, so we </span>won't know until then how much he weighs. I would try to measure him myself but he's such a squirmy wormy and he typically gets pissed off when I lay him down for anything.. Sooooo were not going to try.<br />
<div style="font-size: 16px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="font-size: 16px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><b>Routine:</b></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Well... before, it was... Wake up, go outside, nap, walk to the mail and play, nap, play etc., nap, play etc., eat solids, bath, nap, nurse, sleep.... with breastfeeding before and after each nap. </span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Now, since his naps are few and far between... We're just trying to </span>survive the day. He still seems to go to sleep for the night and wake up for the day at around the same time though, which is nice. He also still sleeps all night, except for that one night he woke up at 5am and for about half an hour to party.. but he just nursed and fell back asleep. <br />
<div style="font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><b>Sleeping:</b></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">He goes to sleep for the night around 7:30 in his crib, wakes up a couple hours later to nurse, & then stays in my bed for the night. He wakes up 3-4 times a night to nurse then is up for the day at 7:30am. Napping has turned into the biggest nightmare of our lives. I typically would bounce him to sleep & lay him in his crib to nap. He would sometimes wake up as I was laying him down, so I would put him back to sleep and lay him back down. Now, he refuses to stay sleeping as I lay him down. So now were doing the "cry it out" method because he doesn't go to sleep on his own what so ever. I'll bounce him to sleep, lay him down, and if he stays sleeping [haha yah right] then WOO! If he wakes up, he cries and screams for a few minutes, I'll check on him, cries and screams for a few more minutes, I'll check on him, repeat and continue for eternity. He has yet to actually fall asleep on his own because after a couple hours of doing this, I either need to feed him again or I'll bounce him back to sleep and pray to the sleep gods that he stays sleeping when I lay him down. </span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">He hardly ever falls asleep in the car anymore and never sleeps in the stroller. </span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">I can only imagine that one day when he falls asleep on his own, all the wonderful things I'll be able to do! Like, grocery shopping, going for a walk in the park, drive anywhere....Do anything.....</span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Seriously, having a baby who doesn't fall asleep on his own every, anywhere, at any time, has gotta be THEE hardest thing about parenthood for me. </span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><u>The hardest effing thing.</u></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="font-size: 16px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><b>Eating/Feeding:</b></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">He's still breastfeeding. He probably nurses every couple hours, usually before and after he wakes up </span>from a<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> nap. He's also been trying out some solid foods! </span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">He's had:</span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">-Roasted carrots, cut into finger sized wedges</span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">-Steamed broccoli, cut with a good chunk of the stalk still left on for something to hang onto</span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">-Apple [from our yard], </span>quartered and halved, skin on<br />
-Peach, halved & pitted with skin on. He's also had frozen slices in a mesh feeder<br />
-Peach applesauce [homemade], spoon fed<br />
-Blueberries, frozen in a mesh feeder<br />
-Rice Cereal, we had a sample pack come in the mail, so I thought I'd try it<br />
Today he is [hopefully] going to try a puree of green beans. I just blended steamed beans in my magic bullet. He was supposed to have it yesterday but it was a rotten day for naps and we just couldn't incorporate it in.<br />
I love baby led weaning, but I also love the mesh feeder as well as spoon feeding. Hunter is all for all of it. He's already figured out how to feed himself, and how to use a spoon -with my help of course. I load up the spoon and bring it to his mouth and he grabs onto it and gets all the food off, then "gives it back" for a refill.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="font-size: 16px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><b>Sizes:</b></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">His average size is 6 months... But everything is sized so </span>crazy<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> different that he's wearing clothes that are between 0-3 & 12 months!</span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">He's wearing size 4 diapers.</span><br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><b>Milestones:</b></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px;">
He finally cut his first tooth! Little bugger was taking forever to make it's appearance. </div>
<div style="font-size: 16px;">
He is also crawling like it aint no thang! That happened quick. </div>
<div style="font-size: 16px;">
He rocks back and forth to "dance".. so frikkin cute. </div>
<div style="font-size: 16px;">
He pulls himself up using everything & he's even stood up on his own for a few seconds. </div>
<div style="font-size: 16px;">
He saw the ocean for the first time! That's something thats important to us, his dad especially... To see and experience nature!</div>

Last week, we took Hunter to the ocean for the first time! It was so neat to watch him take it all in. It was so new to him, as he has never seen a big body of water or played in the sand! </div>

Watching your baby experience new things, makes everything that much more fun. It's like you get to experience everything for the first time again. </div>

This is sooo good and sooo easy to make. I'm also definitely not claiming this is a healthy dish by any means. It's covered in cheese. Otherwise, I guess it's not too bad... change up the flour tortilla for a whole wheat, or corn tortilla... use different or less cheese...add more veggies and it's a healthier enchilada! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
You'll need a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken, or any kind of chicken you want to use. I tend to get the whole cooked chicken because it's half the price of boneless skinless chicken breasts and I can usually make two different dishes from all the meat.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You're also going to need:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Small tortillas</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Salsa of your choice</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Plain Greek Yogurt </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Avocados</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Onion </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Garlic cloves</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cheese </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cilantro</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
+ oil & butter to cook the onions in<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is completely just a guideline.... This can be changed up any way you want it!<br />
<br />
<div>
I like to take <u>all</u> the chicken off the bone first, because I know if I don't, the remaining chicken will just sit on the bone in the fridge & will most likely end up in the garbage. I use my hands to take all the chicken off, but you can obviously use a fork & knife. Once all the chicken is off, I divide it in half and put the other half in the fridge for another meal. [I mixed it with cheese and made quick quesadillas!]</div>

<u>Easy Cheesy Chicken Avocado Enchiladas</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
6-10 small tortillas - depends on how much filling & space you have</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 small jar of salsa or about 2/3 of a large jar</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 container of Plain Greek Yogurt </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
2 avocados, chopped</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 medium onion, sliced</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
2 garlic cloves, minced</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2+ cups cheese </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
A handful of chopped cilantro</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 tbs oil & butter [to cook the onions in]<br />
<br />
*Preheat oven to 400F<br />
1. Cook the onions in a pan until soft and golden<br />
2. Add the chicken, avocado, cilantro and garlic & season with salt & pepper to taste. Stir until combined and then turn the heat off<br />
3. In a bowl, mix together the greek yogurt & salsa to make the sauce. Add some to your baking pan to cover the bottom.<br />
4. Time to assemble!<br />
-Lay one tortilla out and sprinkle with cheese.<br />
-Add some of your filling<br />
-Drizzle some of the sauce on top<br />
5. Roll tortilla up & place seam side down in pan. Continue until you fill the pan.<br />
6. When all your tortillas are ready, pour some more sauce on top so the tortillas are covered.<br />
7. Sprinkle with cheese.<br />
8. Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until top is golden and bubbly!<br />
<br />
Make sure to let it sit for a few minutes because it's going to be <u>hot</u>!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The amount of filling, cheese, and sauce you use is completely up to you. If you like more sauce, add more... If you want more cheese, shred some more! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't let anyone tell you there's such a thing as <i>too much cheese. </i>That's a lie.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I remember the days of going to school. All year you were just waiting until summer holidays. The year would just <i>drrraaagggg</i> on by. Then the summer would come and it would go by so fast! Sleeping in, not having to go to class, being with friends, fishing, swimming, going on road trips. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh the life. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then you get older & get a job, rent a house, buy a car..... Time tries to slow down but you're still wishing for vacations, waiting for the weekend, or waiting for your work day to be over so you can get a drink with friends. Then all of a sudden it's a year later & you're like "Wow, I can't believe it's been a year!" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then you get pregnant. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pregnancy, my friends, was the fastest 9 [10months + 10 days, lets be real] months of my life! It was like once I found out we were expecting a baby, the weeks just started flying by, getting closer and closer to your due date. 10 weeks, 20 weeks, 30 weeks, then you're due date comes and goes & you're left wondering how on earth did 42 weeks go by so fast?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then you see your baby for the first time. His wee little nose and his tiny little toes. So new to the world. Not knowing anything except you. Then you subconsciously do the same thing over again... Waiting for him to hold his head up on his own, to sit, to stand, to crawl.... Then once he's doing these things, you're like, "where did my baby go!?"<br />

The rhubarb came from our yard, & the strawberries were on sale at the store for $3 a quart! I'm definitely not used to freshness when it comes to produce. Back in my home town, produce would be on it's way out by the time the trucks brought it to town. These strawberries came from Nova Scotia, which is just a hop, skip and a jump away! There was even grass still in these berries! That's how you know it's farm fresh! </div>

<b><u>Strawberry Rhubarb Pie with Crumble Topping Recipe</u></b></div>
<b><u><br /></u></b>
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with tinfoil.<br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
Ingredients for the pie<br />
1 9 inch uncooked pie crust<br />
2 cups halved strawberries [or quartered, depending on the size]<br />
3 cups of chopped rhubarb<br />
1/2 cup granulated sugar<br />
1/4 cup brown sugar<br />
2 eggs<br />
2 tbs flour<br />
2 tsp vanilla<br />
<br />
Ingredients for the topping<br />
3/4 cup flour<br />
2 tbs brown sugar<br />
1/2 cup oats<br />
1/2 cold cubed butter<br />
<br />
1. In large bowl, whisk sugars, eggs, flour and vanilla together until well combined<br />
2. Stir in strawberries & rhubarb.<br />
3. Pour mixture into your pie crust.<br />
4. In a separate bowl, mix together all topping ingredients, minus the butter.<br />
5. Cut in butter or use your hands to mix butter in. The mixture should be crumbly, and the butter should be the size of peas.<br />
6. Pile topping on your pie filling & spread evenly. <br />
7. Put your pie on your baking sheet & cook on 400F for 15 minutes.<br />
8. Lower heat to 350F and bake for 30 minutes or until top is golden brown.<br />
9. Make sure to let the pie sit for a couple hours so it can set, otherwise it will be too runny when you cut into it.<br />
<br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><b>Height/Weight:</b></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px;">
He is 68cm & 16.9lbs. </div>
</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><b>Routine:</b></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">
Make in through the day in one piece.<br />
Jk... Kinda.<br />
We wake up around 7am and he's usually pretty chill. He'll play with me in bed or he'll bop along to some kiddie YouTube videos in his exersaucer. He's only up for about an hour before he goes down for another nap. I usually try to eat and sweep during this nap. Dog hair. Drives me bonkers. Mental break downs, all the time. Anyway.... So then he's up somewhere around 9 or 10...Nurse.. Play for maybe an hour or 2. Nap. Wake up after an hour or so, & nurse. I usually try get to the dishes around this time.<br />
So now were sitting around 12-1pm...<br />
This is where life gets a bit trickier.<br />
He stays up longer, and needs more attention, and he also fights sleep really hard. He's pretty difficult to put down for a nap in the afternoon. He usually has one sometimes between 1 and 6pm... This is when I'll try to make dinner.<br />
Then we bath around 7pm then I try to tire him out and get him to sleep. He's usually down between 8:30 and 9:30pm.<br />
And as always, he sleeps through the night, waking maybe twice to eat.<br />
<br />
<b>Sleeping:</b></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">His first 2 naps are easy to put him down for. He usually sleeps for about an hour or so. His afternoon nap is usually much harder. He fights sleep really hard in the afternoon, therefor tends to get super cranky come evening. He still sleeps all night though!</span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">All his naps, and when he goes down for the night are done in his own room, but I keep him in bed with me when he wakes up around midnight or so. Our rooms are currently far apart, and if I was to wake, nurse, and put him back down for the night, I would lose so much sleep. Call me selfish, but I am not into that. It's too convenient to keep him in bed with me in the middle of the night. He sleeps, I sleep. It's a huge win. </span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><b>Eating/Feeding:</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Still exclusively breastfeeding. Yay for 5 months of that! We got the go ahead today to start introducing solid foods! Iron fortified food first, then fruits & veggies. She recommended cereals, but I don't want to give him cereal. She also recommended meat or hardboiled egg yolks. </span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><i>Let me know what you first fed your baby!</i></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="font-size: 16px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><b>Sizes:</b></span></div>
He's pretty much in 6-9 month clothes now. There's still a few 3-6 month things that fit him, but there's also a few 9 month things that fit him.<br />
He's also in size 4 diapers.</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="font-size: 16px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><b>Milestones:</b></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Oh my. Where do I even </span>start<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">? I'm probably going to forget so much because he's </span>grown<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> SO much over the last couple months!</span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">He sits up on his own. </span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">He'll see something he wants, and he'll grab it. </span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">He can roll belly to back and can do back to belly with assistance.</span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">He can roll back to side.</span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">He follows objects. </span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">He knows what "up" </span>means<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">.</span><br />
He tries so hard to crawl.<br />
He can pull himself up & stand.... for a really long time too!<br />
He babbles and laughs.<br />
He has a favorite toy and a favourite song, and a favourite spot in the house!<br />
He knows his name.<br />
Like I said, I'm probably forgetting so much.<br />
They grow too fast don't they?<br />

3 months already. So crazy! </div>

There's really not a whole lot about myself to update... again. Haha! If you read my "<a href="http://kristenpeebles.blogspot.ca/2015/06/fitness.html">Fitness?!</a>" blog post, you'll know that I was going to try increase the health factor in my life. I've still be walking and I've gone on a couple runs. Woo! </div>

I'm getting better at eating better. "Add more good things, so there's less room for the bad things!" is a great quote to try live by, in all aspects of life, not just food. I like to eat simply. The less ingredients the better. Or eat things found along the edges of the grocery store, and not the aisles... That's another good tip I find helps! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Still have no idea how much I weigh, and I haven't taken any measurements... but I probably should do that soon! </div>

I almost lost my mind last week when Hunter was losing his. I discovered how important "me time" really is. It's not easy to do, but I'm trying to get more of that "me time" in my life! It is so necessary to have, in my opinion, in order to be the best mom you can be! </div>

This is how I get housework done sometimes. Let the baby hang out in the carrier while I do laundry and dishes haha! He isn't the biggest fan of this carrier. I need to experiment with more... but I find the long fabric ones [that I desperately wish I had!!!!] are so pricey! I just can't bring myself to spend over $50 for a wrap, as much as I want to!<br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Ahh we don't really have one. It's basically the same as it was 3 weeks ago. Wake up at 7 am-ish. Nurse. Play. Then we do this like 5 times throughout the day, maybe... If he decides to nap. Sometimes he'll wake up as I'm trying to lay him down, and then that's it.. He won't go back to sleep. Bath around 7pm. Bed around 9 or 10. He sleeps for about 3 hours when he goes down for the night, then up every couple hours after that. </span><br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Not enough. Lol! I don't know how long the average baby naps for during the day, but mine doesn't like to sleep for long! If I get an hour nap out of him, I'm thanking the gods. He typically naps for like, 20-40 minutes every couple hours. He's extended his bedtime, which is now at like 9 or 10 instead of 7 or 8.... He still wakes up a</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">t about 7 am though. </span><br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Still basically exclusively breastfeeding with the random bottle here and there for car rides. I'm trying to get him to feed when he wakes up from naps, so he doesn't associate my boobs with sleeping... but I do still need to nurse him before he falls asleep sometimes - if he's been awake for a long period of time. He nurses every couple hours in the middle of the night... Half of which I'm barely awake for since we've started to master nursing while laying down! WIN!</span><br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Well.. I've started packing up his 0-3 month clothes. I put a 0-3 month onesie on him yesterday, and his shoulders were busting out of the top!! Haha! He's still fitting 3 month clothes, but not for long. His main size right now is 3-6 months. I had to buy a few 3-6 month sleepers yesterday because he only had 1! I'm willing to bet those don't last long, so I won't be buying anymore. 4 will have to do because I'm sure I'll be needing to get 6-12 month soon!</span><br />
He's still in size 2 diapers, but once this box is done, I'll be putting him in size 3's.<br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Well he's officially and "infant" now and not a "newborn"!! *Cries*</span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">He rolled over! I think it was a fluke though. The unevenness of the bed probably helped with that.... But he definitely rolled over from his front, to his back, to his front again. It was exciting. </span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">He's getting so ticklish, it's so fun! </span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">He giggles so much now... & laughs in his sleep.</span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">He keeps getting more and more attentive. He's so aware of his surroundings. </span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">He chews on anything & everything. He's such a drool monster! I'm sure he's going to be teething soon, if he isn't already! I keep feeling & looking in his mouth, but I don't see anything yet!</span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">He loves standing!! With help, of course.</span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">He's starting to lose so much hair! When he was born, he had thick dark hair! Now, he looks like he has a receding hairline haha! I read that sometimes when a baby loses their hair, the new hair that grows back can be a completely different colour! Maybe he will end up having blonde hair like his dad???</span><br />

I call it a "dip", but it could be called a salad as well... It works both ways! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love to eat it with tortilla chips or by itself. You could also put it in a wrap with some plain greek yogurt and lettuce. Mmm. It's so versatile! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It could also be made any time of year of course, but it looks really nice on the side of a bbq'd steak let me tell ya!</div>

For starters, you'll need quinoa, which I forgot to include in the photo. I use half a cup of quinoa, boil it with 1 cup of water & let cool before mixing in other ingredients. You could double the quinoa and it would make the dip more of a salad.. a bit more filling if you wanted to eat it on its own... or if you just want more quinoa!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You'll also need:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Approx 4 tomatoes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 small onion</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 medium sized bell pepper </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
[I usually use green, but I had to use up this red one!]</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 jalapeño pepper </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 can of black beans</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 can or 1.5 cups of corn</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A handful [or 2!] of cilantro</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
[Make sure to use the least amount of stem as possible]</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dressing:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 tbs chill powder</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 tbs cumin</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/2 tbs oregano</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1tsp salt [optional]</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The juice of 1 lime</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/2 -2/3 cup olive oil</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1-3 garlic cloves</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
[Depending on how much garlic you prefer, I would have done 2]</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then you just chop all the veggies up & add to a large bowl. Make sure to chop the jalapeño pepper pretty finely so that you don't get a big chunk in one bite. I also used scissors to cut the cilantro... Unless you have a really good knife, you'll find this way to be much easier! Also, be sure to drain and rinse the black beans and corn [if you're using a can].<br />
Since this is such a versatile dip, you can really play around with the ingredients to make it taste just the way you want it to. Add more or less tomatoes, different beans, different peppers. It's really up to you and what you prefer!<br />
With the dressing, you're just going to want to mince the garlic, and then mix everything together!<br />
Stir the cooled quinoa, veggie mix, and dressing together, and you're all done!<br />
It's so good and the longer it sits in the fridge, the more the flavours blend together.<br />
<br />
Mmmmm!</div>

Let me know if you try this! Tag me on Facebook or Instagram if you do!<br />
Also, where do you get quinoa? I got mine from Sobeys, but I feel I could probably get a better deal somewhere else. Possibly online?</div>
