Just finished watching the movie, "Chocolat"....which brings me to ask, buddy, how much do you like chocolate? Dark? Milk? With or without nuts? Caramel? Fruit fillings? What is your all time favorite? I'm so grateful the stores are all closed now .

Mmmmhmmm i love love chocolate, my all time favorite is probably Cadbury fruit and nut,although right now I'm having a secret love affair with the butter fingers I bought to hand out for Halloween. Oh well I'll have to but a new bag. I love milk chocolate. I really like mini bars Halloween size it makes me feel less guilty cause there so tiny ( even though I eat a bunch at a time lol) my favorite Christmas treat is chocolate covered cherries which I forgot to put on my list.

Thought I'd pipe in from the peanut gallery...
i am so pro midwifery care, that I couldn't just sit this one out. It's an opportunity to spread the word on this wonderful service that we have available to us.

Midwifery care really only allows for home births in healthy pregnancies. If it were high risk, then home birth would probably be discouraged by the midwife and healthcare team. I hear your concerns, and I know that the concept of home birth is daunting as sometimes what we know little about often is. But that being said, I pulled this from the midwives ontario website.


"When discussing home birth, your midwife will provide you with research-based information. She will address any questions or concerns you have, and will support any decision you make. Where you decide to have your baby is your choice. About 25-30% of midwifery clients in Ontario plan a home birth.

Research demonstrates that home birth is at least as safe as hospital birth. Since 1994, when midwifery was regulated in Ontario, midwives have attended over 25,000 home births, and attend about 3,000 annually. Midwives are trained to provide all the necessary care and support that you will need at your home birth. The equipment they bring along with them to home births is equivalent to what would be found in a community hospital, including oxygen, medications to stop bleeding and sterile instruments."

both my girls were born at home, in water (birthing pool) au naturale, it was safe, clean, beautiful, and it was never scary. it was a phenomenal experience that cannot be matched.
I'm not saying that this is for everyone, but it's an option, and that's what's important-supporting women in their rights to informed choice and decision making related to their birth planning wherever/whenever possible.

I definitely agree about supporting women in their choice, and I know that at the first sign of a complication it's off to the hospital. I actually wanted/had a mideife lined up when I found out I was pregnant even though I wanted d a hospital birth (some stuff got messed up though - long story). Home births just scare the crap out of me (which is a personal thing), but I know a lot of people that had their babies at home perfectly fine. I was so worried for my neighbour the whole time, but that's just my personal fears creeping in.

Meeee tooo!

I love chocolate with nuts or caramel too, but never ever fruit. Mint is ok too. Milk chocolate is best. Cocobut = gag (but I figure that's covered by the 'fruit' restriction

So Don got to see the baby last night (he was out having a cigar and a guiness while I was in bed...yup, my hisband has date nights by himself). The neifhbour was outside having a smoke and invited Don in. Now I'm jealous! We'll go over when I'm not sick anymore though. Motivation to get better! Thus supid cold has moved into my sinuses now though which is a bad thing since I'm so prone to sinus infections.

Buddy - do you have a slow cooker?

Morning! we had a nice day yesterday, went for a walk in the woods, fed some crazy ducks, seriously, we were walking along the path and I saw a couple ducks in the pond, oh look! And then they came swarming from all over, there were like 20 of them, all begging for food! I only had birdseed as we were supposed to be feeding the chickadees which never came. So the ducks got some bird seed. It was hilarious! The rest of the day was nice, I like when we have nice days with no fighting lol. He was pretty funny too, he was "drumming" on my legs and then hit me in the chest. I was like "wth!" "that's the cymbals mommy". Ah ok then. He's just so much fun at this age, when he's agreeable lol.

I think I missed a few questions.
No thanks to the body shop, I never shop there so not even sure what they sell. Although I did put stocking stuffers on my list so perhaps if something would be nice for my parents?

I have and love my slow cooker. I really wish they sold the liners in Canada, I have no idea why they don't! We do a Christmas breakfast in there every year, or at least the past couple years, and it's so yummy, but a liner would be so much easier to clean up!

Things I forgot? I will have to think on this and come back I thought of something yesterday but it flew out of my head.

Have a great day all! It's rainy here so I'm hoping we have a good time stuck indoors.

[gwennad]

Oh, and I love chocolate. Especially the lindor blue balls.
now Jackson is asking why I'm laughing hahaha

I dont remember where I got them, but I have slow cooker liners. I think I got them at Walmart or somewhere normal (and Amazon sells an 8 pack for around $6)
