I am glad that I decided to switch to BPA Free bottles when I did. Heck I am glad I have bottles at all.
I don’t know about the rest of the country but in Saskatoon, there are almost no bottles to be found anywhere. All of the major (and minor) retails have pulled all bottles [...]

Yesterday I took Lena to another allergist for a second opinion. When we went to the first allergist I just had this feeling and for once, I listened and took her to another doctor. Glad I did.
Our first test showed positive for milk (cow and goat), peaches, mango, barley, and egg. However, the doctor that did [...]

Lucas came over for a visit last weekend. He and Jade have not been coming over as much, not sure of the exact reason but it’s unfortunate, they are missing out on so much with Lena and Kassie and we really miss having the whole family together. I hope they decide to put their differences [...]

Today, two major Canadian retailers Forzani and HBC (Zellers and The Bay) announced that they would be voluntarily pulling all water bottles and baby feeding items containing BPA (bisphenol-A) off of it’s shelves and would no longer sell any feeding products containing the chemical. This was done in anticipation that Health Canada is preparing to announce today [...]

Yesterday at PT and OT both girls tried a custom made stander, Lena absolutely loved it, Kassie hated it but we were able to distract her so that she put weight through both legs, an important step to standing and walking.
Problem, we can only use it at the Kinsmen Children’s center for now. Apparently Health Canada decided a [...]

Well, we are following the BRAT diet on the advise of our wonderful family physician Dr. Alanna Danilkewich (she is great). Guess What! Lena actually kept her breakfast of bananas and rice cereal in her tummy this morning. Yeah! Cross your fingers for us that this is the beginning of the end of our vomit [...]

 
Little Lena has been sick. Since Friday Lena has been vomiting off and on. When she woke up yesterday I thought she was all better. Friday she vomited up almost everything she took in. Saturday she lived on grape Pedialyte, no vomit. Sunday she vomited once after breakfast then kept all of her formula and [...]

Yeah, after 9 surgeries and several surgical hair cuts, Lena’s hair is finally long enough to put into piggy tails. I just love her curls. She looks so darn cute, and so grown up. Urghhh they grow too fast.

My dad loves kids. I should say, loves to spoil kids. Ever since I can remember my dad has always let the little ones have a little more junk than their parents might otherwise allow. For example he is a firm believer that every kid (especially little ones) should have their OWN birthday cake, to themselves, [...]

Okay, so I am a delinquent blogger once again. I know I promised to stay on top of things because when I get behind I just can’t catch up and I know that I will forget to mention something cool that happened. Oh well, can’t be super mom all the time. Cape is in the [...]
