I'm having a baby....again...

I was tired of changing the litter box, so I decided to get pregnant..hahaha!


I am due sometime in mid November, since I do not have normal periods due to breastfeeding I need an ultrasound to get more accurate dating. I am a little freaked out, Leah will only be 18 months old and I will be dealing with a newborn...a toddler and a newborn...Leah is trying to climb the stairs as I type this...God help me!

I am already getting the boy comments...why is it that people assume that because we have 2 girls that we automatically want a boy..actually we want another girl..I have everything for a girl, besides I do not want to change the title of this blog! I think 3 girls would be awesome, hopefully they will be close, and at least one of the 3 will take care of us when Doug and I are old and need our asses wiped. We decided that we want to be surprised about the gender, I'm hoping that I can wait that long..we will see!

I'm tired as hell but otherwise good, I only have nausea and no vomiting right now, when I nurse my breasts feel like they are in the 10th fires of hell, please let that be a temporary thing...

I'm excited to share this journey with you..as it definitely will be the last time...Doug will be going for a snip snip!

Take care

Friday Cuteness IV

Happy Friday Everyone!

Hallie is off school today because of an inservice....Jesus, they just had a week off for March Break, where were all these inservices when I was in school???

Leah has been miserable with a cold, it is the most annoying thing really...the nose runs 24/7 and she can hardly nurse because she can't really breathe out of her nose, poor little muffin. I constantly had to wipe her nose, and as I wiped she would turn her head, so she has snot streaks up to her hair, I just gave up and took a warm cloth to her at night.

Hallie's fish Silver died this week, it was a gruesome event...one day it was alive, the next it was all bent floppy and its eyes were nasty...as Doug was flushing him down the toilet to go to fishy heaven this is what Hallie said .."wait...I want to take a picture to remember him by" WTF I mean, this fish looked like he had leprosy..there was no picture, sorry to disapoint those that wanted to see silver post mortem! She got 2 new fish the other night, I am not sure what kind they are and I pray they are not male/female, Hallie named them coral and patches, I'm sure they will be dead next week, although we did have Silver for over a year..who knows??

I've included a few videos today, Leah is getting so big..she waves and claps and I she has started dancing, well moving back and forth when there is music on.

Hope everyone has a good weekend!

One Year Ago...

March 20 2008 Hallie had her spleen and gallbladder removed..it was a 9 hour surgery and I can honestly say that was the most stressful in all my 30 years. Then of course, she had complications, so what was supposed to be a 4 day hospital stay turned into 2 weeks of anxiety and frustration, the Dr's did not really know what was wrong, and I was 4 months pregnant..it was a rough time for all of us...but what does not kill us makes us stronger and we made it through! A year later and you would never even know Hallie had an operation, the scars have faded, and the surgeon told Doug she would be able to wear a bikini when she is older and can pierce her bellybutton if she wants to cover the incision that was there...haha..he was not impressed!


This was right after she came up from recovery, she was doped up on morphine so she was feeling no pain..at one point she woke up and asked where the man went with the basket???



She was alert after the first 48 hours, they took her off the morphine and she wanted to see what her belly looked like, that is actually an Ariel band aid over her belly button





The whole time we were in the hospital, we saved our roll up the rim cups for Hallie to roll up when she got home. Doug drank a ton of coffee and visitors donated their cups, I think we had 80 some at the end, sad enough, in 80 cups we only won 10 prizes and they were only free coffees and donuts...

Its finally spring! I'm going to do some spring cleaning this weekend and maybe do some shopping to help the Easter bunny out!

Have a good one!

A Carousel and green cotton candy...

Yesterday we packed the girls in the truck and headed west...to Moncton!

Our destination....Crystal Palace!

Here are some pics/video of our day..

Hallie reading in the truck..a 3D Mummy book

Leah in her stroller once we got inside!

Hallie on the carousel

Hallie and I on a little train

Doug and Hallie went on this crazy submarine ride..it went around in circles...Doug was scared! Hallie was on the other side of him and she loved it...

Doug took Leah on the little train...she loved it! You can just see the top of her head..so cute!

This is what Doug had for lunch, I expected him to have a heart attack last night...ok..the onion rings were mine..

I took Leah on the carousel..I think she really wanted to be on a horse though, she kept reaching for one..

And that was pretty much our day..we were exhausted last night!

Have a good one!

Happy St.Patty's Day!

March break is off to a great start..Hallie already had a sleep over and tomorrow we are taking her to Crystal Palace in Moncton...Road Trip..YAY!!!




I got approx 22 min of sleep last night..leah is teething and getting over a cold so she has been delightful at night..this too shall pass..I just keep repeating that over and over in my head!





I found this pic while I was doing some late night etail therapy...it is so true!

I love my girls and if I never sleep again, they are still worth it!

May the luck of the Irish be with you today!

Friday Cuteness III

Its not only Friday today, but the start of March Break! Which means I *may* be able to sleep in next week, not have to make sandwiches and buy 20 kinds of juice boxes...

Its been a slow week...I'm super tired which makes me super cranky..good thing spring is right around the corner..BRING IT ON!

I did not do too much picture taking this week, so I have just one for today..but its extra cute!

Enjoy! Have a good one and be nice to each other...

March Blues...

I just have to get this off my chest...

Fuck you daylight savings! *raises my middle fingers high*


Hallie won't get out of bed in the morning because it is still dark, Hallie won't go to bed at night because it is still light...


March is an asshole of a month..one day it is nice and sunny and the next is a full on snow assault

Daylight savings is even affecting Leah, though I am not sure why? She slept 2 hours later on Monday and went to be 2 hours later that night, she also cut a tooth so that may be to blame also..I seem to have her back on schedule today..hopefully it will stick!


Yes, I am going to miss that gummy smile..it was the greatest thing to wake up to in the morning!


Leah is a horrible sleeper, she only sleeps for 45 minutes at a time and still nurses 4-5x a night..but there is hope for me yet! I picked up some books this weekend while browsing the used bookstore..

• Solve your child's sleep problems



• Sleeping through the night



• The no cry sleep solution



• Three in a bed

One of them is pro crying it out, and I refuse to do that-I'm sorry but I would not treat an animal that way-one mentions and I quote from her book...

" Vomiting is no big deal for infants...vomiting can even be fun. And it is common for infants to vomit after crying, don't worry about it...clean up baby as well as you can without picking him up and leave the room" WTF-that woman is on crack!!!

I realize what I am about to type here might get a negative reaction but I think crying it out or CIO as it is know in parenting circles is in my opinion a form of infant abuse..essentially CIO works by abandoning the baby so she cries to point of exhaustion, gives up hope and falls asleep..*flame away*



Yes, I may not get a full nights sleep until she is a toddler, but at least she knows that I am there for her and she is in a secure and safe environment! I know I am beating a dead horse with this, but I've become passionate about this, and realize her waking up all night is not good for her either, but I will work on her schedule and find a gentle way to help her get more sleep!

Okay, I promise I will not talk about this anymore!

In other Mosher related news...I've decided to start creative writing and am looking into writing classes and workshops. I've toyed with the idea of writing screenplays and have several ideas scribbled down, I also have tons of poetry and short stories written. All my uni professors told me to become a writer, so I think I will try it-who knows it might pay the bills!

Hallie seems to have gotten over her illness, though she still has to take her medication and I would rather have holes drilled in my head than go though getting her to take her damn medication 3x/day..Seriously, that shit is tasty (banana) and she acts like I am making her drink lighter fluid-oh the drama of an 7 year old!

I shall leave you all with pics from the reptile show we went to last weekend

Hallie said the alligator only had 3 legs???

I swear that snake was a good foot wide

Have a good one and be nice to each other...

Friday Cuteness II...

Its Friday already..

Hallie has been home all week with a mysterious illness..we think strep throat but the Dr are not sure, tests were done..we have to wait

The sun is shining here and I am getting anxious for spring, I am looking foward to opening my windows and letting the fresh air in...

Leah officially turned 8 months yesterday..4 more months and she will be 1....I'm already planning her party..yes, I am that bored!

Have a good one!

I see London, I see France

I want to take a stroll down memory lane...I am going to post some pics of our trip to Europe! Doug and I went to London, Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam in Sept 07..it was an amazing trip! We took about 1500 photos, so I'll just go through a few of my favorites.




The weather is miserable here and I am wishing I was at a cafe in Paris drinking a chocolat chaud *sigh*



This is the house Jane Austen lived and died in. I have read all her novels at least 3 times and every BBC adaption. We could not go in as they were doing construction.

This was the Breakfast Doug ate every morning when we were in London. It goes by the name of a full English, I call it heart attack on a plate

I did not know they had hookers at Windsor castle, wonder what the queen would say..Doug took this pic because was following her around.

Stonehenge..I have to be honest and say..I was really not impressed with Stonehenge. I was under the impression that it was massive..don't get me wrong, they are huge..I just thought they would have been bigger. I had my past lives examined last year..she told me I was a druid priestess..I thought I would have flashbacks here...but I did not..

If any of you are familiar with Henry VIII, they you probably know about the tower of London. While it was not actually built by him, he got the most use out of it. He kept 2 of his wives here until they were beheaded. Any prisoners coming into the tower came in by boat through Traitor's Gate.

Doug got to finally meet Britney Spears..even though she was made out of wax

Even though Doug is deathly afraid of heights, I manged to get him up into the London Eye. The view was amazing...







This is the view of the Eiffel Tower as we were coming into Paris. Yes, that is a mini stature of liberty..the US gave that to Paris after they gave them the huge one that sits in NY Harbour





Some hot soldiers..they were walking back and forth at the base of the Eiffel Tower.."why monsieur, that's a big gun you have"






What would be a post about Paris if I did not include any pics of the sweets and pastries..I swear I gained 5lbs when I was in this city, even the bread is fancy



This was the view from the Eiffel Tower, Doug did not seem to mind going to the top of it. Its all fenced in, I guess to prevent suicides..remember in the movie European Vacation, Griswold threw the Frisbee off and the dog went after it..long way down...




We went to Versailles, where Marie Antoinette lived when she was the Queen of France..this is her bedroom..





We strolled along the Champs-Elysee's, its best to avoid if you are poor..they have Dior, Lois Vitton, Chanel..etc...But Doug fell in love here, we walked into a Mercedes dealer, and they had a car Doug was excited about...it only cost 1.5 million in Canadian dollars...guess he will have to settle for the pic...




That's pretty much it...Amsterdam needs a whole post on its own..so I'll save that for another day!
