That's a Wrap

Tavish made a 'welcome' present for his baby sister that was a labour of loveand an authentic masterpiece that will, no doubt, be cherished by his sister. Eleven days before she was 'due', I had an inexplicable urge to get the gift wrapped before Tavish went to bed. Never underestimate a mother's instinct - she was born 13 hours after this video was taken! So, this footage captures some of Tavish's final awake moments as an only child and my final day sporting a baby belly...

Tavish - excited to soon be a big brother

MOMENT: Welcome Wrapping

On Sunday, May 27th, our family of three watched the participants of the Ottawa Marathon up the street, did some 'nesting', wrapped the welcome gift for Tavish's new sister, and I enjoyed dinner out with some of my closest girlfriends as a 'shower' to welcome our second child. This day was accompanied by some mild contractions and the baby's present was wrapped 13 hours before her arrival. This timing was probably a good thing, I'm not sure Tavish could have contained his excitement for much longer anyway!
