august five :: 7 weeks

Mack is 7 weeks old today.

I had my "6 week" post-pardum check up today. Doc said everything is okay. My uterus is shrinking back and my incision is healing nicely. He told me that he is for Vbac but only after 1 year after Mack's birth, and I laughed and told him if we were to ever try for a third kid, it won't be this close again. I also asked him what were my chances of having a girl after having 2 boys and he said "slim...". That's what I thought. So I don't know if we'll ever try for a third child. It'll be up for discussion when Mack's around two and a half. Not before then. 18 months between children (or rather 17 and a half months as my boys are) is just insane. We're managing, and it does get a little bit easier by the weeks that go by, but it's a handful regardless the fact that it's two boys. (I'm sure if it were 2 girls it would be just as crazy, and I'm sure if it were one boy and one girl it would be the same).

We were a little late to submit these photos to the West Island Gazette photo contest this week, but aren't these cute? My dad came up with the idea of the pumpkin patch with the cabbage patch and Mack.... Mack can't sit on his own yet obviously, so I choose to use the tiniest chair that I had (which is the On the Go Lounger).

Have you seen Knotions Magazine online? All these new great magazines online. The great thing about Knotions is it has a bunch of patterns that were on Magknits before they went offline.

I'm leaving my Anniversary sale on until tomorrow since my site was down for a couple of hours last night (unfortunately). Everything in the shop is still 20% off! Come on by and check it out! I've also restocked the shop with Alphabet Letter Stitch Markers for Socks or Lace - A through H - Set of 8, as they've been selling out!

This evening Jamie & I caught up on Big Brother 10 as well as watched Monk. We're still on Season 1 - but loving it. I can't wait to catch up. Season 7 is currently on tv. We're a little behind!

Must:
- find keys that I misplaced.
- find where I put my SIN card.

- upload pictures to Flickr (I'm really behind). (I've now done up until Mack's birth. Will continue tomorrow).
