Little Miss Nola Michele Macleod was born at 5:56 am on January 31, 2010. 6 lbs 7 oz. 19.25 inches long.

Although today is her birthday, her party was this past Sunday.  She is the most amazing thing I have ever known.

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...

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...

My New Perspective or Back to My Old One

Now that it’s Friday night, I've had 2 full days of thinking and talking.   The information has settled and the medication has begun to invade my body. Yesterday I went to see my General Physician to update him with everything and hopefully get a listen to LG's heart. We talked about the recent developments and I laid down while he got the Doppler. He and his Intern worked together to find all three heart rates. Not too difficult now that they are very different. You see, they could always hear the atrial heart rate easily--usually a strong 140/150. But the ventricular being around 55 was nearly the same as mine so they didn’t know what they were hearing. Well yesterday they found 150 (atrial), 90 (my new resting heart beat) and a consistent 60. Now I'm not going to freak out like OMG we're fine...and my doctor was only using the standard Doppler, not a super ultrasound machine. BUT by the time I got back out to my car I sat for a second and it came over me. A fresh...
