October 2012 changed our lives forever. I peed on stick and broke down in tears instantly. We. Were. Pregnant. Who knew it could happen that fast! We literally, and I mean literally, tried one time. 9 months later Mason made his appearance. We had a very rough and traumatizing birth (you can check that out […]

Potty training was something that always sat in the back of my mind. It was never one of those things that I was focused on or had a plan for. With Mason’s bottle, milk and soother I all had intentions. Bottle needed to be gone by age 1 and no bottles before bed. Same as […]

As I sit here and take in what a crazy year it was, I find myself reflecting back on it. On the things I did, things I could have done better and how crazy it really got.Last year, we had Mason (our son) in June. I had 5 weddings after he was born so this […]

My experience with CIO sleep training. I thought I would start by saying that I am not pro or against CIO. It was never something that I over-looked into, scared myself silly, or thought anything of. I try and take this whole being a MOM thing one day at a time and I try to […]

Dear Mason, 2 WHOLE MONTHS! To look back and picture having a two month old is absolutely crazy. Days seem to go really slow but then you realise how long it has been and they have actually been going by really fast. Mason, you are a really REALLY good baby. I am part of an […]

39 weeks and I thought baby M was never making an appearance. I felt completely the same as I had the whole time, or at least recently. Lots of pressure but nothing else. No contractions, no Braxton hicks even. Absolutely no sign of labor in the near future. Friday, June 7 2013 I was lying […]

Saying the Modde family sounds so very odd to me. Shawn has always been my family and my heart but now we have a whole entire family of our own. We have a son! He is finally here! I couldn’t wait to have photos taken with our family. As photographers it is very hard to […]

We have officially made it to June. I love that we are having a summer baby. And not that May isn’t summer but I really like the thought of having your birthday every year in June. We look forward to all of the pool parties and spending tons of time outside. We are all getting […]

I had a dream of a bed in the middle of the field with flowers all around. I also wanted some of those gorgeous pink blossoms Edmonton gets around this time of year. But when we found out we were having a little boy, things changed for us. We fell in love with the colour […]

FULL TERM BABY!!! We are in the clear. Of course you still have some time to keep growing in there but if you decided you wanted to come out, you sure can! And, I think we would all be okay if you made an early appearance! This week was insane crazy but in the best […]
