Happy Birthday Little Girl

“I'll love you forever,
I'll like you for always,
as long as I'm living
my baby you'll be.”

Love You Forever by Robert Munsch 

Our little girl turns the big 1 today!

She has brought color to my world. I am proud of many things, but nothing beats the privilege of being her mom.

Happy birthday! I can't wait to see what the future holds ...

First Birthday!

Last night was our first snowfall of the season. Ironically, I can say without a doubt that last year the first snowfall occurred on the evening of the 21st. I remember this because I was awake half the night with a difficult labor and I could see the snow falling onto the Oratory roof across from the hospital.

As a Game of Thrones fan, we joked that "Winter is coming..." and, after our LO was born, "Winter is here..." but most of you wouldn't get the reference.

Clusterf*cked

Severe sleep apnea causes snoring, snoring causes me to wake up, being woken up causes me to be repeatedly tired, anxiety and being overtired causes me to have insomnia, insomnia brings me to sleeping pills, sleeping pills cause vivid dreams and worsen sleep apnea.

Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

Back To Work!

This is my first day back to work after maternity leave! Thankfully, I made the right decision to ease back into my new life gradually... lots of gossip this morning, and lots of changes that will likely not all be good. But, we will see what happens comes of it all in time.
