    Eight Most Useful Gifts for New Parents

    October 14, 2016 /

    Useful gifts for new parents can be invaluable. It’s not always the thought that counts alone. Gift giving for new parents needs to be a combination of heartfelt and useful. Brand new Moms and Dads are about to be their busiest ever. BUT, do we give them things that make their lives easier during the transition or do we spring for something whimsical and cute? Useful Gifts for New Parents Make Life Easier I loved my baby shower and it was magical from start to finish. The gifts that arrived were also treasured. At the end of the day though, I had about a billion onesies, dresses and blankets, but I…

    Prepare for a Healthy Baby Now – When Genetic Screening Makes Sense

    September 21, 2016 /

    “I don’t care if this baby is a boy or a girl. I just hope he or she is healthy.” Almost every parent, or parent to be has uttered out loud, or thought to themselves, some version of this sentiment. Healthy baby first. Gender second. So what would you do to stack the deck in favour of having a healthy child? Eat better, exercise? Some of these changes are a no brainer. But what about genetic screening before you get pregnant? When does that make sense? Most of us know there are many things you do to help grow a healthy baby once you get pregnant, but how about before…

    Learning Your Baby Has a Club Foot – Guest Post

    March 5, 2016 /

    This is Part 2 in a series of posts about a Club Foot Diagnosis. Another Canadian Blogger and Mom, Crystal shares her family’s clubfoot journey. When we were pregnant with our son Mason, we found out via ultrasound that he could be born with a clubbed foot. When he was 10 days old he began treatments with a series of casts, minor surgery and then shoes on a brace treatment that was to last the first 3-4 years of his life. You can read all about our journey in the series of posts that I have written which starts here. The final leg of the treatment was the longest, from…

    Does My Baby Have a Club Foot? A Guest Post

    March 4, 2016 /

    Clubfoot Guest Blog Post – Part 1 This is a Guest Post from the Lovely Crystal over on Crystal Clear As Mud. Crystal has a great blog and she is also Canadian. Come Back tomorrow for Part 2 of the Club Foot Series. While I was pregnant, I always found going for ultrasounds somewhat nerve wrecking since our first pregnancy, before our daughter, ended as a missed miscarriage. Was everything ok? Was the baby growing as he/she should? Am I doing what I should? The questions were always there. When we found out we were pregnant with our second child it was no different. We had been for an ultrasound…

    Christina Knows Best – Candide 3 in 1 Pillow Review #Baby

    November 5, 2015 /

    Christina now has a baby girl! That’s great news, right? So life for this new Mom has been a bit busier to say the least. Anyways, a few months ago she was sent the Candide 3 in 1 pillow for review and baby was not yet out of her “baby house” as her Mom called it then, so she used the Candide first as a pregnancy body pillow. Now that baby is here and making her personality and presence known to the world well life, and the Candide, have taken on a different shape. See what I mean when you watch this video. We were sent this for consideration here…

And of course she has been busy getting used to life with baby. BUT, I wanted to share this one with you today, because this is a post she did about Pregnancy Fitness Videos before baby was born.

    Alrighty Christina is getting so close to having this baby girl it’s officially super exciting! I can’t wait for everyone to meet her. But in the meantime she’s talking about maternity wear.

    Every new parent is nervous, I think. But new adoptive parents are a whole different level of nervous and anxious. We are crazy from the waiting sometimes and so grateful for our precious gift of parenthood that we can be hyper vigilant about our new roles and responsibilities. I can easily recall how we (mostly I) spent many nights hovering outside the door of Payton’s nursery. I remember how I didn’t trust that Payton would keep breathing all night long on her own. I read a lot about SIDS and I worried about the things that could go wrong. I would tippy toe into her room, which was right beside…
