On a personal note...

It's been awhile, and I bet you all have missed me (us). Well we've had an interesting couple of weeks.

Heather had her first hospital emergency visit. I know I know. She fell of the futon and supposedly landed on her head (neither Mike nor I were watching). After hearing a loud "thud" and a lot of crying, I gave Heather a bottle and she just passed out, which gave Mike and I heart attacks so we called the BC Nurses hotline. The telephone nurse told me to either call 911 or take Heather to emergency ourselves, because the kid wouldn't wake up. The second we got there Heather was awake smiling and "talking" to everyone. The doctor must have thought we were crazy, but that's okay, better safe then sorry. So, our little Moogsio is okay, just a little shook up. You'd think she would be afraid to be on the futon, but everytime she's on there she wants to hurl herself off. Babies, who knows?

Secondly, a dear friend of mine came out to her friends and family about a serious drug problem, so I took this opportunity to come clean about my serious drug problem...well not exactly, I have an eating disorder. As you all can see it isn't annorexia, however that's what I dealt with before I became pregnant. Anyway, I've been dealing with eating issues my whole life and it's come down to this. I'm seeing a counsellor next week, so we'll see how it goes. I just really don't like my body, and I don't know how to change it without drastic actions. I lost 100lbs to annorexia. Don't get me wrong I was soo happy while pregnant and I love what I produced (Moo) and I would give my waist line for that kid anytime! I think that my surgery will really help my self esteem, and it will give me some assentive to do something about my body. So there you go, a little bit of personal stuff for you.

Heather is now crawling around our apartment like crazy! It's hilarious! She loves to pull out all of her books from the shelf, and lick our wood chairs (if you can explain this, please contact me...haha). She is also sitting up by herself! Mike and I took Heather downtown for the first time on the seabus. I think she enjoyed it, but the funniest thing happened...she started making this weird monster face (she would go "grrr" and put her hands up to her face) and she would do it repeatedly with Mike. Soo funny and cute. She also really enjoys treating her parents legs like trampolines. Oh and she had a nap in her crib that lasted longer than 30 minutes!! Trust me, it's a huge feat!

As a family we've been going through a bit of a tough time, but we're working through it. I mean, having a baby so early in a relationship is going to bring up some issues. You know?? Everyone knew it, but we didn't listen. Anyway, we love one another, and wouldn't have it any otherway. Also, we love Heather so much, and I cannot even remember what my life was like before her.

Oh well, there you go. A lot of personal work ahead of us. We'll get through it, we always do. I'm just happy to have everyone's support.
