Now that I finally have a few minutes to sit down and reflect on our appointment at the Fertility Clinic, I thought I would transfer some of my thoughts into a blog post. So as most of you know, on December 31st we had our second appointment at the Fertility Clinic in Barrie to discuss … Continue reading Our Plan for Baby Blais →

Today I am running around like a chicken with my head cut off preparing for another visit to Barrie and Hamilton. We thought, "Well, we might as well kill two birds with one stone.

To my surprise, this Holiday season has been extremely manageable. I had a fear of closing off the world, shutting the curtains, and hiding under the duvet in my bed for multiple days on end, but that hasn't been the case at all. I was afraid of being bombarded with multiple pregnancy announcements, but thankfully, … Continue reading The Not So Blue Christmas →

For once, I'm going to step away from all of this fertility talk and focus on something else that is going on in my life; something that gives me a little bit of motivation. When we found out in the summer of 2015 that Pierre would finally be having his spine surgery, something inside of … Continue reading Motivational Monday 10/12/18 →

These past few weeks have been really hard for both Pierre and I, and I'm not going to lie, we're struggling. I feel like we just have way too much going on right now.
