First Immunizations

We survived our first immunizations! It actually wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Three shots total, two in the left thigh and one in the right. He let out a loud cry but was consoled quite quickly and then almost immediately fell asleep. My poor little buddy was pretty drowsy the rest of the night but luckily that was the extent of the side effects.

May Long Weekend: Canmore

We went on our first mini vacation with Link and boy was it different. I think he had four times his weight in luggage! I don't think it would have mattered if we went to Canmore or Cambodia, I would have packed the same amount of stuff. Our family shared a condo with my mom, brother, sister-in-law, neice, and nephew. There was a rain warning but luckily we only got a sprinkle one evening. Since my birthday is on the 23rd the girls took me for a pedicure. None of us had flip flops so we had to walk back to the condo in those foam ones they give you. We must have been quite a sight "running" across the highway! It was so nice to spend time with my family but it was also nice to be home in our own beds :) 

Jamberry Nails

I am terrible at painting my nails. Well actually it's the drying part that I just can't master. And now with a baby I don't dare paint them because Lord knows there will be screaming or a poop explosion five minutes later. So when I was invited to a Jamberry party I was super excited! I had heard about them but didn't really know how they worked. It turns out they are perfect for busy moms like me. Each nail only takes a couple minutes to put on but the best part is that there is no drying time so if something comes up, and you know it will, you can just stop and finish the rest later. Other pluses are that they come in TONS of fun designs and are very durable! I recommend that you give them a try but it helps a lot if you get someone experienced to show you how. It's not hard but easier if you see it first hand.

Fitbit Flex

Do I dare say that spring is here?? I certainly hope so, we are due for some nice weather so we can get out and enjoy it! I am ready to lose this baby tummy and sunshine is a big motivator in my world and I need all the help I can get :) I have had a Fitbit One for a few years but haven't used it since before I was pregnant. I used to be pretty god about remembering it but now a days I'm a bit more forgetful so I decided to try the Fitbit Flex instead. Since it's a bracelet and waterproof I can wear it all the time, even in the shower. I found a black one on Kijiji for $60 and strapped it on for the first time today. I'm not used to wearing anything on my wrist but it seems pretty comfortable so far. As for the stats it's pretty much the same, it can keep track of your steps and calories burned but it doesn't count the floors you've climbed which is a little disappointing. I don't think that it's as accurate either. Being on your wrist it mistakes certain movements as steps, like burping or rocking a baby so it over calculates your calories burned. I wish that they would make a One Model that could be worn on your ankle or around your neck so that I wouldn't forget it. Both models have got me up and moving so I guess that is good. Link and I can't wait for all our walks this summer!

So much for Spring

Just when we were ready to get out there and walk, this happens. It was 22 degrees yesterday and there's a snow warning today. Gotta love Calgary! I guess.
