This summer has been quite busy.
Alex has been away in total 4 week already, and still have one more to go.. maybe even more.
I never quite pictured life without him before. It is hard.
Very hard. I have to cook and clean and bath and do dishes and sleep and mow the lawn and put gas in the car and the list goes on, all by my self.
Adjusting is the hard part. I always thought it would be the nights alone, but its the days that is hard. I can always go to sleep at night if I need them to go by quicker. During the days I can't. The nights I used to dread. How am I supposed to fall asleep without his warm body beside me? What do I do if there is a noise I am not too sure of? I have gotten used to this. Get this... I am in my BASEMENT!!!!! alone while Cass is sleeping upstairs. everyone that knows me, knows this is a HUGE HUGE DEAL!!!!
When Alex was planning his work trip away, I was also planning. I needed to get my mini salon up and running, and I needed to clean the basement and vacuum and clean the upstairs, get things ready for when the inlaws come. I am sitting at the computer for 2 hours now.. and this is what I have done!!!!... procrastinate.. my mom would tell you I am super good at that.. I can unfortunately agree...:(
I wanted to put together come christmas presants and starting working on Cassies photo book and so on..
To watch them grow and learn the ways of the world. I am often in awe at their wonder, their pure joy in the magic of life. But all the same I hurt when they hurt, I want to hold them in a bubble of love and safety. But I know that they must experience life – all of it, even the pain and hurt it can bring.

Full moons
As of now you can't convince me full moons don't affect people.
Two days before the full moon, Cass becomes irritable and doesn't sleep much.. Feels like a new born baby, this stuff really effects her. So tonight is night two of a full moon, which means day 4 of not to much sleep and I want to pull my hair out or pull the Britney spears shave your head stunt so I can't pull it out.
Before having Cass, I didn't believe in much. It's funny what a little human being is capable of changing. I use what's called magic potion... Not too sure if it works, but it's supposed to make you more relaxed and its apparently good for changes. So here's to night 4, we will see if it makes tonight any better. It's an all natural "potion" got it at a store called bumble tree here, costs an arm and a leg, but what doesn't these days.
Alex is attempting to put her to bed right now, all I hear is "aunty Abby Abby daddy daddy anana grr grrr grrr puppy???" Coming from the baby monitor, she has become quite the talker these last couple weeks. It makes me happy to listen to it. Kind of releases some stress. You get frustrated they aren't sleeping then she starts talking, and it just kind of disappears for a while. Puts a huge smile on your face. You forget about the bags under your eyes and your unshowered hair and no makeup and headache and just enjoy the sounds and words she is trying to speak.
Tomorrow we are going on yet another trip to osoyoos. I am tired of travelling, but it will be nice for the inlaws to see her, it's been awhile since the last visit. Maybe I'll get a little more sleep, or less sleep, I guess we will see...

Time flies
Cass is turning 15 months soon!!!!
Where has the time gone.. that's the question that is always asked!
But really.. 15 months ago.. I was going to go into labour any day..
15 months ago, I was golfing everyday and walking to get this beautiful baby girl out of me!
Life has changed. For the better of course. It has been a hard adjustment but we have made it this far! That's something to be proud of.
I have never felt so much pride when cass looks at me and alex and said "I love you"
or when she says puppy and barks like one. she eats by herself and is very independent.
I never thought that one itty bitty person could grow up so quickly, and right before your eyes!
Life with Cassandra is very very busy. She started walking at 10 months, so you can only imagine how she is walking right now!! Not walking, running, everywhere! I should be about 150 pounds right now just chasing her.. but sadly I'm not haha I wish I could put her into sports or something at this age already, because she needs to burn the energy, I can only do so much. I am going to start taking her to a play group called wiggle giggle and grow! where all the kids just run and play games and tire themselves out, while the moms drink coffee and watch them play! Should be a lot of fun!
We used to go to a group well tried to every Tuesday, that was a lot of fun, but because she was an early walker, it was hard to keep her still, so after that I had a hard time going because she was everywhere, and those kids ranged from 0-1 years of age! A lot of fun though! And learned a lot of new songs and games to play with them.
Cass has made a really good friend named Lily, Lily just started walking at one, so now they are having so much fun together, they are still a little rough, but its so great to see them learning how to play together, and pulling at each other and sharing even though they are not to sure what sharing is just yet! I can't wait to see them grow up together. Patty had to start work now, so not as many play dates as we would like, but there will still be enough!
We took the girls and did a photo shoot the other day! my goodness that was the cutest thing ever!
Patty and myself had brought a whole dresser of clothes, didn't manage to put them in many different outfits, but we had a picnic and the girls just ran and ate food!
was a great time! Here are a couple photos from that day!
Cass and Lily are a lot alike, so when we have play dates its a lot of fun. Patty and myself try to consume as much coffee as possible to stay awake and we talk and laugh for hours a day! Its so great to have such an amazing friend who has a daughter Cassie's age! You don't always need to have everything in common, if you run out of things to talk about, there are always your children, but in our situation, that is not the case! Patty always has so many stories to tell and we just sit and laugh. Its great!
Cass gets to meet one of my best friends this weekend!! He is home from Taiwan finally after 2 long long years! I can not wait to see him and visit and catch up! It has been wayyy to long!
I go to work one day a week now usually Fridays which is a nice little break once a week, my mom watches cass and the odd time she can't one of our great friends Tiffany does! She always has a lot of fun with those two! Cass spends a lot of time with tiff as well so it's really nice that she knows her and I can leave cass with her. Its great to have friends like that.
Back track a little bit here... My mom turned 60 this year just a month after cass turned one, so I worked really hard and put together a great birthday party for the two of them at the columbo lodge. I got to surprise her with two special guests and a lot of family which was soo nice. She cried... Many times.. Must be the old age thing... ;)

Alex is busy with work and has to go to creston for another week, then we are both going on our own little trip Alex is going to kelowna to have. Boys weekend golfing and my mom and myself are going somewhere as well. Should be a lot of fun I can't wait for a little get away and shop till we can't stand anymore haha my mom and I are really good at that
Cass had a blast meeting a bunch of people that have never got to meet her before, and she played and played and then slept like a baby!! It was a super busy weekend for all of us my two good friends from Medicine Hat came down as well I only got to see one because Kerri ended up in the hospital the day of the party so that was a little scary!! She's doing much better now though! Ill post some photos of that later.
I got to do my first ever 5 k run it was called colour me rad it was such a blast.. So many people we could hardly rush it, so not really a run 5 k but it was still my first non race I did. Every km they sprayed you with colour and by the time you finished it was everywhere!!! 
This was the three of us who did it together!!! Some great moments with the girls that memory will always be there it was soo much fun.

Some great moments with the girls that memory will always be there it was soo much fun.I also did a walk in support of my friend who has cancer she is one tough kid and such an inspiration I did 16.4 km that day with them that was a lot of fun and a lot of support. Hopefully we will get to see her soon if she comes this way or we go to Calgary! She is one person I wish everyone could meet, she has a special place in our hearts that's for sure.

Postpartum Depression..
postpartum- and life after birth....
Life with a baby... That's love. True love. Love that lasts. Love you can always hold on to and know is always there. Love 24/7. Your husband or partner is love as well.. but as soon as you set eyes on that baby.... no one tells you how quickly you fall in love with him or her, and how quickly lives change. Life changes for the better, but its a very very hard adjustment.
It all started about a week after Cass was born. SIDS SIDS SIDS SIDS.. that's all that crossed my mind.. day and night.. 6 o clock I just sat there crying.. Cass was going to have to go to bed soon, what if I wake up and shes gone, so I moved her even closer to our bed, so I could hear her check on her, and make sure she was still alive, sometimes I would nudge her to wake her up, so I knew for sure she was still with us.. This got better when the health nurse came for a visit, but slowly started to get worse again.
When you have anxiety, I think it makes things a little worse, and you tend to focus on the "worse case events" I was awake but barley breathing, or so it seemed. soon it was well if I get off the couch, what if I drop her, what will happen, what if I fall down the stairs, What if I fall asleep while feeding her? what if's what if's.... they never end....they still don't will they ever?
I was always out and about, I had to be, I had to focus on life in general. When I have talked to people who were depressed, their main goal was always thinking differently, get up, get dressed, and try to make it to the front door so you can work on the next step of leaving the house.
It works.. but only for so long... how much money can you actually spend trying to cover up your depression. I needed to try to focus on different things. I didn't quite know I was depressed at the time, but I knew I was trying to "hide" and "cover" up something...
Life with Cass was great! more amazing than ever! don't get me wrong. I had all the help in the world that you can ask for, and my life is together and quite amazing. Great husband.. Well fantastic, helpful, supportive, always there type husband. He makes my life complete. Soul mates, true love.. love at first sight...list goes on. Great Mom and Dad, and in-laws as well as friends who were there. Learning new things and seeing how babies work and learn and eat and sleep and so on, those are all something to be cherished, and are very precious.
I had some complications after birth, and we didn't find out until about 5 weeks postpartum. I couldn't sit to go to the bathroom, I had to stand.. nothing helped me, and nothing my doctor suggested did either. This was caused by what we found out a couple days later...
I passed a clot, the size of about a mandarin orange. Instantly I call to Alex! Call the nurses hot line, somethings wrong with me hurry, he rushes to the bathroom, and I am looking down at this massive blood ball. They tell me I am fine and not to worry about it, and it will all go away. I am still nervous and scared, but hang up the phone and try to carry on.
Next morning, I pass another clot.... a little smaller this time, smaller meaning I didn't have to PUSH this one out. 6 week post, and I am still having large blood clots. I see this fantastic lady doctor, who immediately sends me up to the hospital. I call my mom shaking, telling her what was going on. I still have Cass with me, and I went up to the hospital just me and her.
I get to the hospital and get an internal ultrasound done. Now for you all who haven't had a baby or had a c-section.... the pain was unreal...now they are not. I cried.. I tried not too, but later we found out why I was in so much pain.
I had left over placenta left in me... about 5 inches long and 10 cm thick(4").. that's quite large if you look at a ruler. Now it wouldn't have been that bad, but I was 6 weeks post. I was technically "rotting" inside.
I was infected and in a lot of pain. I could choose to have a DNC or go home AGAIN.. and try to pass it on my own. I chose the DNC. Unfortunately I had to go back the next morning for that. In the mean time, they gave me a pill to "abort" my left over placenta. Not a great feeling to have to go through. Also had to take a pill to stop the bleeding. These mixed, make you feel sick and have contractions
Didn't work. So I was suited up and getting ready to go into get my DNC. only 6 hours later.. and I still wasn't in. I went from pumping about 6 ounces every 2-3 hours down to 2 ounces, because I wasn't allowed to drink or eat. I was starting to get low on my milk at my parents house. so I packed up and had to leave the hospital, after the doc came in and told me it wasn't going to be until 8 that night. I HAD to go home for Cass, and my mom and dad
I had to go back again the next morning. I think it was a 5 day process, but that was almost 11 months ago now. I healed and eventually passed the clot approx 5-6 days later. I had a lot of check ups and doctors appointments and internal ultra sounds after that..... 16 weeks postpartum it was all "healed" finally. I bled for 15 of those weeks, and I had one more week to heal after that. it was 2 different birth controls and bleeding pills that helped stop. It took me 5 months to slowly get my milk back. Some days were better, lactation cookies, lactation pills, and a friends milk to help me I am so thankful she had enough milk to supply an army with. and so on... but you can only force your milk for so long. That was another struggle, and a very hard struggle to handle. I had to then start weening Cass off of breastfeeding and start formula. what kind? how much? how long can I keep it in a bottle for? Was it going to hurt to stop breastfeeding (YES) soooo many new questions and so much more to learn.
Things seemed to get a little better as it went along, but there was still my emotions I was dealing with, and those took a toll on me. Still crying, and sleeping just as much as Cass was. Couldn't wake up, didn't want to do anything, didn't want to get dressed have a shower or eat. It didn't take long for that the spiral even more. We were doing our Christmas pictures, and I was crying, Alex looked at me and said, "I think it's time you go see a doctor".. I cried even harder...
The reality was true, he was tired of coming home and trying to judge what kind of mood I was in.
So I went... It was a long and hard and emotional doctors visit.
I was put on Cipralex, only for it to take another 8 weeks to kick in! 8 weeks.. was sooooo long.... 8 weeks of trying to remember to take this darn pill.. 8 weeks till I was always smiling and laughing and in a better place. To this day.. 12 months later and it's still a struggle, but not nearly as bad. I have my ups and downs.. just like everyone, but life is brighter and life with my family is good. A baby with so much energy and who walked at 10 months helped in this situation. She keeps me busy and on my feet day and night. Always trying to make other people happy and forgetting about yourself is a huge effect. Once you can figure out how to balance it all it helps.. and things improve.
As for mine and Alex relationship, some days seemed a little rough, but that was expected. When you are focusing on a little baby and learning everything for the first time, you almost forget about everything else including yourself.
I think every couple has their struggles and moments, but it definitely makes you stronger together.
The feeling of being "depressed" and knowing that you were taking pills to help it, was a hard pill to swallow to say the least.
How is this little tiny pill supposed to help me. How is this going to make me man up and be a happier person. How is this tiny pill going to solve my thoughts in my head....How is this pill supposed to solve my problems..well.. it does help. it doesn't solve problems though, that is you. All you. I am not a pill taker, nor do I like the thought of them. They helped me though. I can say today that I am happy, and thankful. I have been through a lot after having Cassandra. I wouldn't take back a day because that would be one less day with her. She has taught me so much.. who knew that a baby could teach you.. they don't just teach you.. they rule you.
This is my angel today. She is 12.5 months and an amazing little girl.
She is the center of our life. She started crawling at 8 months, and walking at 10.. It was a very fast transition. She can say Momma and Dadda, Bubba, Uppa, Nana and a whole lot of sounds. Shes very vocal.
She has helped me learn so much about myself and so much life has to offer.
for this I am thankful.
I am thankful for a lot.
She will be the joyful background music of every day we breathe. Every triumph or failure, from the tiny to the colossal, will mark our heart indelibly. Salty tears will well up at the sweetest moments. She will sit up on our shoulders and try to reach a star, and crumple at our feet with her first broken heart
Every day is a day to marvel at the blessings we have been given. She will be the force that moves us now and forever to be the best parents we can be. In her eyes we will see the reflection of the parents we are, and only her judgement will have meaning. She is now the light that illuminates our world.

a little Chirstmas cheer
This blog is a little late! but everyone knows how busy people are this time of year!
Cass's first Christmas turned out amazing! Lots o love and gifts and family time.. what more could we ask for!
Cass got to see my brother again for much longer this time around! so that was so nice to see him grow and get used to her! soo cute to watch the two of them!
So glad to see this year we got lots of snow for Christmas and it has all stayed on the ground this year!
last year was a little green! so the snow all lifted our spirits a little I think!
Cass got her own sled so we took her for a ride around the blocks and she had a blast kicking her legs constantly and just smiling the whole time!
Here are a couple pictures from our holiday!We are heading to castlegar for a week and then Osoyoos for a little time away!
Cass will turn 7 months soon!!! scary to think she is half a year old!!!! time is flying by!
She is a busy little one! she loves to pull herself up using our hands and she loves to walk when we hold her.. she hasnt quite picked up on crawling.. but one day it will come! im in no rush right now for that yet!
I am just enjoying this stage of being semi stationary!
here is a picture of Cass at 6 months! I went a little over board.. but who can blame me!!!
You only turn 1/2 a year once right!!!
Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!
