Calgary Visit @ 25 weeks

The last two days have seemed so busy there has been NO time to update the blog!

Nola in the waiting room.

Doesn't matter, it's going to be short and sweet because of the consistently good news we are receiving.

Nola and Daddy.

The appointment was for 8 o'clock in the morning, which is good and bad. We're the first ones in, so we'll be done in reasonable time. But it's stinking early. Especially to drag little girl out of her slumber and stick her in a car seat!

The appointment was great! Quick ultrasound and the heart rate clear at 60. I feel great, my meds are working properly and the baby's growth is bang on. Awesome!

In the ultrasound room.

After we were done we'd planned to go to IKEA. It was the day to buy Nola her big girl bed!! Kevin and I wanted to buy ourselves some stuff and we were prepared to make a big haul! We bought ourselves a bedroom suite; headboard, footboard, MATCHING night stands, new lamps and a dresser for me!! We feel so grown up!

Car seat Nola.

Nola faired well although she was tired. She walked and played most of the way through and slept hard on the way home.

I'm stopping there because we're having company for supper tonight and I still have a list of things to do!

The momentum continues... :) [Sorry that the pictures are screwy! I don't know why.]

The Zoo, Avon & Weeds a.k.a. Life

Finally I’m able to sit down with my thoughts and blog! I know I’m beginning to say this every time, but alone-time is a precious never these days. I wouldn’t change it for anything. Last weekend was Father’s Day and I think we were able to show Daddy just how much we love and appreciate him. There’s no denying Nola is her Daddy’s girl and she was pleased to be able to wish him “Daddy Happy Day!” Kevin received a new watch and ball cap that I think he’ll actually wear! Score J Lots of things have been going on with our Macleod Momentum. The three of us girls were able to go to the Zoo with beloved cousin Stephanie, Aunt Laura and cousin Chris. Nola had a great time as long as she was in the comfort of her wagon. She was quite cautious about everything and I think pretty overwhelmed at the actual size of the lions and tigers and bears. Oh my. She’s only seen them in books, after all. We’ve also been on our fi...

It's "Kebec", not "Kwebec"

We have been in Quebec (pronounced “Kebec” not “Kwebec”) for about the last 6 days. The first thing I have to bring to your attention immediately is how BIG Ontario and Quebec really are! I mean, seriously, if you haven’t looked at a map in a while, pull one out right now and really take a look. Secondly, since getting through Ontario and now having driven through Quebec, there are NO bugs… Now this may SEEM great, but I don’t think it is. Our windshield has been basically clean since we left Winnipeg. Now I hate mosquito bites as much as the next person, but we all have to admit it takes ALL things to make the world go ‘round… Thirdly, we have noticed more smoking! I cannot say for sure that they ACTUALLY have more smokers than the west, but we are sure noticing a lot more people lighting up in general. I think I speak for everyone in the family when I say Quebec has been wonderful. The campground we stayed at in Montreal was about an hour from down town. We haven’t known much a...

A Charmed Life

I have been doing some thinking lately about what it means to lead a charmed life. I look around, particularly in my Young Living life, and realize how many people are fortunate for their new-found financial freedom, family freedom, and of course are quite healthy in wellness generally. And now of course with the horrific acts that have taken place in Canada lately really make me stop and reflect on the fortune we live with and expect. I decided to ask Mr Google what it means to lead a charmed life and the definition is: to always be lucky and safe from danger . Of course you'll find different definitions depending on the site you choose to read, but this is the one I chose. At first glance I think, "well, aren't we all leading a charmed life?" But I think the answer is no. At my own searching for God and the Holy Spirit working inside of me, I've come to realize nobody is "always" safe from danger. I know we all know no amount of mo...
