Oh wow! It's been so long since I've posted anything here! I need to remedy that, so now is as good a time as any :)
Trinity started 3 year old preschool in September and she loves it! It can be a bit of a struggle some mornings get her up and ready in time, but once we're headed out the door and on our way, she's excited to be going! Most mornings are not a problem though, and that's a big help for Mommy when she wakes up and gets ready for the day without a battle. Makes the morning run smoother.
She has also made her first "real" friend! The pastor's daughter! She talks about playing with E every Sunday morning, and when the pastor and his wife and daughter came for supper a few Sundays ago, she was thrilled that her little friend was coming over to play! And they play so well together! Minus a few issues about sharing, but that's all part in parcel with having kids that age :D. She is also such a social girl, she definitely takes after her daddy in that department. Mommy is definitely NOT that social, Mommy is much more shy and reserved :D
She is an awesome big sister to her baby brother! Always talking to him, telling him it's all okay when he's upset or a little fussy. She is eager to help by running and grabbing his soother for him, or trying to make him smile/laugh for her. She hasn't been successful in her efforts to get him to giggle for her yet, Cohen is still particular who he laughs for.. and that is only Mommy gets the giggles. She is so bright too, it always amazes us how intelligent she is! She is sharp and catches on so quickly, far too quickly I sometimes think. She can carry on an entire conversation and you better be careful what you say around her, cuz more often than not, it'll come back at you! Lol... she remembers so easily. I often find myself being "reprimanded" by her for something I tell her not to do! Oh sheesh, sometimes Mommy's forget their manners too. My little Lovebug is just growing up so quickly, and I wish I could slow down time most of the time. My baby girl is becoming such an awesome big girl! She can challenge me and melt my heart all in the same day. She is such a sweetheart <3.
My little big man, Cohen, is going to be 4 months old tomorrow. Oh wow! That went by fast! He can roll from tummy to back and from his back to tummy. He will smile for basically anyone, especially other women! He's our little flirt! He is one incredibly content little boy! He is very laid-back and has never been fussy in public. He usually only fusses when it's naptime, or when he's bored. Going down for night has never been an issue. He gets his bedtime routine of bath, eat, and then I just lay him down. Sometimes he's already half asleep when I do, other times he is still awake and alert, but he soon falls asleep without hardly a peep. And he sleeps really well too! He goes down anywhere between 9-10:30, usually around 10, and he will sleep usually a 6-9 hour stretch each night before waking to eat. So anywhere between 4-7 in the morning. I. LOVE. IT! And then he sleeps until 9:30-10 am! He still takes about three good naps during the day, and then one or two little catnaps in between.
I estimate he is around 18+ lbs already! I haven't gotten him weighed since his two month needles, and he was 15 lbs. 6 oz then. He goes for his 4 month needles next week, so we shall see how close I am in my estimation. He is also starting to notice when Mommy eats and watches very attentively. Solids will be in his future soon :). I am slowly starting to wean him from breastfeeding to being on the bottle. He is teething and has already bitten me a few times. OUCH! He had his first taste of formula a few weeks ago and he didn't really like it at first. The look on his face was like "mom, what is this stuff? It does NOT taste the same and what is this round piece of plastic in my mouth?" He played with the bottle nipple in his mouth for a few minutes before he swallowed anything, and then he determined that he didn't really care for it. But he has gotten more used to it and will drink 2.5 oz of it at a time. I am sure that soon he'll down a full bottle of it in one feeding!
Russell is starting a new job on Nov. 2. He is going back to Canadian Tire as manager of the service/parts counters! The offer was awesome! And it's a clean job! No more working with sewer! Although, he did enjoy working with the water and water treatment for the town. Hopefully with this job, the idea of me having to find some sort of work will be off the table, but we'll see. He is a manager at heart, and he is a great manager! He is really good in customer service and has a way with people. It'll be a change again, an adjustment. We've gotten so used to the Mon.-Fri. 9-5 type jobs that he's worked for the past 5 years. Now he'll be going back to working the odd Saturday and the odd closing shift, but we're adaptable and I'm sure everything will work out just fine :). He's excited, yet nervous since so much has changed since he left his management position with Cdn. Tire 5 years ago.
As for me, I'm just busy playing wife/mother/homemaker, and I wouldn't have it any other way :). It's my life, and it's what I've always wanted to be. My children are my world. They are the reason I get up in the morning. I am fully invested in my role as their mother, they are my greatest gifts in life.
I am hoping to one day get them on the same bedtime schedule too, so that I can at least have a good portion of my evenings to myself, but that's all a work in progress :)

Cohen Update!
Wow, I can't believe a month has come and gone since we welcomed our little boy into our family! He sure has grown a lot in the last month! He went down to 7 lbs. 13 oz from his birth weight of 8 lbs. 2 oz in the first two days, but after a week, he was back up to his birth weight and by two weeks he was 9 lbs. 3 oz. By week three, he was already 10 lbs. 1 oz! This boy eats A LOT!!! He is solid! He has filled out so much already it's hard to believe.
By three weeks he was in some 3 months sized clothes already. His sister didn't wear size 3 months until she was 6 weeks. He's almost outgrown size 1 diapers already too. Slow down little man, slow down!
He thinks he's super strong already too. Always trying to hold his head up and look around, and he succeeds a lot of the time... for about half a minute or so when his neck gets all wobbly again. He's starting to focus more too, and hold our gaze for longer periods of time. His smile is adorable as well. He isn't smiling at anything in particular yet, but he gives us random smiles and it just melts my heart!

Cohen is here!
It was around 3:30 am on Tuesday, June 21 and I was having an incredibly difficult time getting comfortable in bed. No matter how I lay, I had extreme discomfort in my lower abdomen and the pressure was ridiculous! I was in the bathroom every 15-20 minutes just to get a few minutes of relief from the pressure. After making countless trips to the bathroom in an hour and a half, I was starting to wonder if maybe this was just the very beginning of labor. I called the hospital at 5 am to ask if that's what this was, and the nurse told me that it sounded like labor would start soon, but that she didn't think it was actually labor I was feeling. Well, no sooner had I gotten off the phone with her and crawled back into bed did I feel my first contraction. I waited for the next one, exactly 8 minutes later. I got up and started packing the last few items for my hospital bag, and then crawled back into bed to see if there would be more. Yep, another one and another one, 8 minutes later.
I woke up Russell and told him it was time to head to the hospital and that I'd already phoned the hospital. We got up, got dressed and got ready to go. After informing my in-laws that it was time, and that we were headed to the hospital, we were off. It was 6:22 am when we pulled away from the house. After a stop at Tim Hortons (hmmm, deja vu! lol) and another stop at Russell's work to drop off the on-call phone, we made it to the hospital about 6:45 am. I got placed into a delivery room and hooked up to all the monitors and stuff. And then we just waited... when my doctor came to check me at around 7:30 I was 3-4 cms dilated. My contractions started getting stronger at around 8 when I met my l & d nurse. They started coming every 5 minutes and that's when I requested the morphine shot. Once the morphine had taken effect we started to "tour" the hospital to get things moving along faster. We even got to sit out in the gazebo! It was a beautiful day! First gorgeous day we'd had in weeks and I was stuck in a hospital, in labor :(. So we took advantage of the little bit of time we had while the morphine was still doing it's job and sat out there. Russell and I took bets on when we figured baby would come that day. He thought 4:30 that afternoon, but I thought forsure by 2:30 baby would be here :D.
From 8-12, we paced, and talked and paced. When my doctor came back at 12:15 to check me, I was at 5 cms and she broke my water. That was when the morphine was no longer effective :(. I wasn't allowed another shot but my doctor ordered fentenol for me, and I could have as many doses as I needed until baby came. It did nothing at all for the pain but it made me extremely drowsy. After about half an hour, my nurse gave me another dose of the useless stuff and then told me that she needed me to get up and walk around some more. I was now at 8 cms. So after the second dose, I stood up to try to get those last two cms to come quicker, and all I had to do was stand up! I said "I need to pee", so I went to the toilet. Nothing. I realized I did not need to pee, I needed to push! It was now 1:30 pm. Russell came and helped me back to bed, and I told the nurse I had to push. She told me that she would phone my doctor, and Russell said "You better phone her now then!". She told me that while she had delivered babies before, she would rather not deliver mine and that I shouldn't push yet. Yeah right! I felt like I was going to die and here she was telling me not to push! All I could say was "I have to push, I have to push so bad!" Finally she said "ok, push" and she ran off to phone my doctor. I pushed just enough to give in to the urge, but held off on the real pushing until my doctor arrived. When Dr. Fischer walked in the room at about 1:55, I pushed with all I had. At 2:00 pm exactly, our beautiful son was born!
We welcomed Cohen Foster John into this world on an absolutely gorgeous Tuesday afternoon! And I won the bet, baby came before 2:30 that day ;). He was born right on his due date, and that's something that doesn't happen often. Good timing little man, good timing!

39 weeks down, 1 to go!
I will officially be 39 weeks tomorrow, and boy have I ever slowed down! Every little household task makes me feel like I've run a marathon and leaves me short of breath. I'm really very ready to have this baby! Two nights ago I was having contractions during the night, and I noticed they were coming regularly so I started keeping track of them. They were coming every 6-8 minutes and I was already starting to wonder if it was maybe time to phone the hospital and wake my husband, but they stopped just after 4 am. I was FINALLY able to get some sleep, but I felt a general "ick" feeling all day yesterday because of the lack of sleep and the discomfort from those contractions. Baby will be here soon! (But not soon enough if you ask me).
Wednesday is my husband's birthday, so if baby decided to come then, daddy will get to share his birthday! He is actually hoping this happens, he would love to share his birthday with one of his children. Wednesday is also my 39 week prenatal check-up, and I am seriously considering getting my doctor to do a sweep, and try to move things along a little faster. I am so uncomfortable all the time, from sharp stabbing pains in my groin everytime I lift my legs, to lower abdominal pain because those muscles are tiring from carrying around the extra weight, to sore feet and back, to feeling constant pressure because baby is soooooo low already and is "locked and loaded" so to speak.
Anytime you feel like joining us Little One, we're ready and we're all eager to meet you! Hopefully you choose to come soon, because your momma doesn't know how much more of "being pregnant" she can take. :)

Nursery!
I had been getting super anxious for weeks to get baby's nursery all set up, and it just seemed to never get done. Well, we finally got it all set up and I'm super relieved! I don't know what it is about a set up nursery that makes an expectant mother eager to just sit in anticipation in the room. But that's what I love to do! To just sit and rock in the rocking chair (which I never had with my daughter and am so happy to have with this baby) and just sit and gaze longingly at the empty crib, knowing there soon will be a baby to use it.
Of course, I'll have to invest in a cushion for that rocking chair, because I expect to spend a lot of hours using it, but I'm happy to have this room finally all together!
Now that this room is set up however, my daughter thinks the crib is the perfect bed to put all dolls to sleep! It really is super cute when she goes and lays her baby down, and closes the door and then comes to me and says "Shhh, we have to be quiet, baby is sleeping!"
On another note, I am 36 weeks pregnant as of tomorrow (Tuesday) and I can't believe that in just four short weeks, I'm due to have this baby. I pray it's only about three weeks though. Doctor appointments are now going to become a weekly occurance, and that only signifies just how close the time is coming for baby to be born. I'm getting eager already! I can't wait to meet this new little one that will soon make our family of three, a family of four!

Spring has sprung?
Well, here's hoping spring has FINALLY arrived, and to stay this time! I love being able to see the grass that's slowly re-appearing from under the melting snow. It makes my heart happy!
The other day, after a lot of snow had previously melted, and then we got 4 days straight of snow, my daughter came up to me and said "Where'd summer go?" I couldn't help but chuckle. I mean seriously, when an almost three year old is sick and tired of winter and is ready for warmer weather, Mother Nature needs to take a hint!
I love being able to spend time outside more now again. With me being very pregnant, and us having had around 3-4 feet of snow on our yard, taking my daughter outside to play in all that snow was not going to happen! She'd sink in down to her chin, and I wouldn't have been able to walk in all that snow either with my belly. So we lived like hermits and stayed inside. We both got cabin fever.
But yesterday we got some fresh air and it felt great! Even if the sun chose to hide during the time we were out there, we pulled out the sidewalk chalk and did a little drawing and had some picture-taking fun. We weren't out there longer than 30 minutes, but it still felt good to be able to actually SIT down and not worry about plunking our butts into deep snow. We ended up going downstairs to play. My daughter practiced on her bike and she's getting really good at starting herself! We're still working on the stopping (braking) though. I guess she thinks if you say "stop!" the bike will automatically just quit moving! We're excited to be able to take her out and let her try out her bike on some flat, straight stretch of sidewalk this summer. We thought maybe rotary park, but then thought better of that idea. That path is just way too hilly for someone who is just learning how to ride a bicycle.
Every morning I wake up and see sunshine streaming in through my bedroom window and I can't help but sing to myself "It's a beautiful morning...". I hope this continues, cuz we're all loving it!

Slow down, you move too fast!!
Well, I am officially in my third trimester, I'm 28 weeks 1 day today! I do wish time would slow down though, sheesh, this pregnancy is just whizzing by me! 12 weeks left, oh. my. goodness! It honestly feels like we JUST found out we were expecting this new bundle too, and here I am, already in my third trimester! I had my 28 week check-up today too, and just like at my last appt at 24 weeks, I'm measuring two weeks bigger. This has me thinking "yikes, how big is this baby already and how much bigger will it get in the next 12 weeks?" Needless to say, I am nervous!
With Trinity, I had an ultrasound done when I was 33 weeks, and the tech told me then that she was already 5 lbs... so if I'm measuring two weeks bigger, that would put me at 30 weeks, and this baby could already be about 3 or 4 lbs! Oh dear me... Lord, please help me! The doctor figured there was still plenty of time for my weeks to catch up with my measurements, and I sure hope so!
Other than that, this pregnancy has been textbook. Everything has been progressing smoothly and normally, and I'm so thankful for that! I only pray it continues!
15 weeks!
20 weeks!
24 weeks!
28 weeks!
I have my first appointment in Barrhead (where I'll be delivering this baby) in two weeks! I can't believe it's already that time, like I said, this pregnancy is just flying by at way too fast a pace! But I try not to take this all for granted, we have been blessed twice now with no trouble conceiving naturally. I know all too well the reality of how hard it can be for some women to have their own children naturally, whether it be trouble with conception, or having to deal with pregnancy loss. God has blessed me and my hubby tremendously with two healthy pregnancies and I'll be forever thankful!
Soon, I'll get to hold this new little bundle in my arms, and I'm getting soo excited and eager! What a blessing from the Lord!

26 weeks!
Well, I am now officially 26 weeks into my second pregnancy, and I'm starting to get really excited! Not that I wasn't excited from the start, but as each week passes, I realize how soon the Big Day will actually be here, and I'm eager to start setting up the nursery!
Today I started washing some baby clothes. I'd actually completely forgotten just how small newborn clothes are! It's hard to imagine that in just a few short months I'll get to dress a new little person in these clothes. I can't wait! About a month ago we pulled out all of our baby gear (swing, infant carseat, bouncy chair, etc.) out of storage. Now it sits in my basement waiting for me to find the motivation and the energy to start cleaning everything! It was funny when we pulled out the swing, my two and a half year old daughter really wanted to sit in it and swing! I had to tell her a few times that she was now much too big to sit in there. She used to just love her swing though! She settled for just "swinging" it back and forth while Mommy and Daddy continued to pull out all the rest of the stuff.
In other news, we're potty training. So not fun on any level. I wish we were done already. We've been at this for what feels like forever, but in reality, it's only been like 6 or so months. Up until now we've just had a casual approach to it, but now I'm really getting eager to get her fully trained. I don't want to have to be buying diapers for a newborn and pull-ups for my preschooler. She turns three in June, and I really hope she's trained by her birthday. I'm also determined to have her trained so she can start preschool in the fall. It's not that she doesn't understand the concept of going on the potty, it's just that she'd really rather not. It can be super frustrating for me when she fights me every morning when I want to put her in big girl underwear. Oh well, this is just a stage, and I know she WILL one day (hopefully in the very near future) use the potty full time like everyone else. It's not like she'll walk down the aisle on her graduation day still in diapers! :D Heck, it's not like she'll be starting kindergarten still in diapers! Right now, I just have to remind myself that she'll let me know when she's really truly ready to be done with pull-ups. She's incredibly bright, advanced for her age even, if you ask me (am I biased?!?), and her vocabulary is beyond her years, so this Next Big Step will come soon. I guess this mommy will just have to be patient.
