I know this post is long over due, but I figured I’d tell you about our Thanksgiving anyways, because we ended up in the hospital again!  Man, when it rains it pours!  I hadn’t been in a hospital in years, almost decades, and now it happens three times in a two month period!  So, with [...]

Today’s post is the finale of my “Sam’s Big Gift” mini series of posts detailing, in hopefully humorous fashion, our adventures of last week’s trip to the hospital.  To get yourself acquainted with the rest of the series, why not read up on Part 1, Part 2 and (while you’re at it) Part 3 [...]

This had us on the phone with Infosanté, a super helpful, free and parent calming 24 hour telephone line that connects you directly to a [...]

We are happy to report that Sam is perfectly healthy and normal! He now tips the scales at 10.1 lbs (1lb 7oz gain since hospital leave) and he’s grown 1.5 inches up to 21.25 inches long. His head circumference is now 38.5 cm, I don’t know what that means, but the Doc seemed [...]

Finding a pediatrician here in Quebec can get you madder than a keebler elf demoted to fudge packer. But thanks to a great support network of co-workers that answered a pleading fathers emails, we have found one! This is a big deal because nothing should compromise the health of Sam, and it [...]

Well we’re back from our weekly doctors appointment and….nothing!
That’s right folks, the baby is still snug and warm in that belly. No dilation was seen so we go back again next week.
Our Doctor says all is fine and everything is progressing normally and Melissa even put on the weight she lost last week. She’s back [...]
