the arrival of william angus lougheed

On May 15th at 10:58 am Brett and I finally met our son, William Angus Lougheed. Due to William being in a breech position he ended up arriving via c-section after an attempt at an external version did not work to put him into a head down position. When he was born he measured 20 inches long and weighed 8lbs 10oz. Even though a c-section was not ideal, we are thrilled to have William with us. He is healthy and beautiful. So far, he is a very good natured baby which makes the lack of sleep much easier to manage!

oh, that oliver!

Oliver has been having a hard time cuddling up to me with the increased belly size (mine, not his). But this morning he was determined to cuddle and he eventually found a cuddly spot. Not so convenient, mind you, but he was comfy so I tolerated it for a few minutes. And, yes, I know I look far from stellar in these shots but they are too funny not to post.

the nursery

This is a short video tour of our nursery. I think it will be a cozy and happy place for our little one.

week 38

This is the latest shot of baby and Denise. I'm thinkin' this might be a good sized baby! By the way, the photo was taken in the now completed nursery! YAY!

this one's for chrissy

As requested, here's the shot with the tee shirt. The tee shirt is a bit snug but a free shirt is a free shirt! Thanks Chrissy! By the way, this is me at the end of week 36.

week 33

Hard to believe but we're at week 33! Only 7 weeks left but there's still lots to do to get ready for this little guy's arrival.

this baby will travel in style

This afternoon we bought a car seat (with help from Brett's parents - so great of them!) and a matching stroller (and both were on sale - yay!). We love them! However, since we don't have a tonne of storage room they are still in the boxes. I found these photos online though and this is exactly what they look like. We ended up going with Peg Perego for this purchase. The stroller is the Pliko 3 in Mod Verde and the car seat is the same colour and it's the Prima Viaggio SIP model. We just love them! Light weight and really easy to use. Now we just have to wait patiently until we can use them!
