A few nights ago Gwen was changing Evelyn after a big poo and once the diaper was off, according to the eyewitnesses at the scene, there was some “projectile pooing” which shot out and all over Gwen!

Well Evelyn is now 2 weeks old and it’s been quite a crazy time. Thank goodness for the CLSC - there is a wonderful, extremely helpful nurse there who visits us every 3 days to make sure Evie is doing ok. Her weight gain last week wasn’t very good and we finally figured out that » Read More

Dan and I went out for lunch today to a Veitnamese restaurant in CDN. I checked a few reviews and specifically went for something that offered more than “Pho” (Vietnamese rice vermiceli soup).
