Visit from the Vickers
Thursday night, the Vancouver arm of the Vickers family stopped by with some delicious lasagna and dessert. Both the food and the company were much appreciated, and with it came Belle’s first visit with someone close to her size. Luke, her second cousin, is four months old and gave us a bit of a preview […]

The First Week
So, as of Tuesday, we completed our first week as parents. I don’t think either of us felt we were particularly unprepared for or surprised by anything, except perhaps by how incredibly happy and enamoured of her that we are already. It certainly helps that she’s so darn cute and that she lets us sleep […]

Patrick takes Cooper to Craig and Katie’s while Michelle changes her pants three times in fifteen minutes. 2200h – Arrival at the hospital. Quite busy, so we check-in and then park ourselves […]

Welcome Isabelle!
She’s here! Born at 4:17am today, weighing in at 7lbs 5oz, and as beautiful as can be, Isabelle Kathleen Armstrong is now part of the outside world! Her mom is doing great, and was an absolute rockstar, powering through labour like it “weren’t no thang.” We are overjoyed.

At the Hospital
So here we are! It’s 3:00am right now, and Michelle’s water broke at about 9:00pm, I dropped Cooper off with some friends, and we made our way to the hospital. It took awhile to get into admitting, then it took awhile to get into a delivery room, but Michelle was a total trooper. With the […]

At the doctor’s office
The doctor is running a little late, so I have time for a blog post, and Michelle has time to do some more knitting.

Knitting up a storm at 37 weeks.
We’re ready to have this baby anytime now. As far as we’re concerned, she’s done cookin’ and we can hardly wait. In other news, Michelle has taken up knitting with her typical, take-no-prisoners approach. In only three or four weeks, the tally is sitting at approximately 6 baby hats, 4 adult toques, 3 scarves, 2 […]
