Hello everyone! It’s been a while since I’ve posted a “how am I” update. I’ll start by saying that the fall has arrived, in case you haven’t noticed. The leaves are yellow, and the mood is a bit grey. Though, fall is now much brighter than it used to be because Sam (our son) has his birthday in November. Aside from that, a pile of tasks and worries has come crashing down on me again....
Hello everyone! I wrote this post about five months ago, but never got around to finishing and publishing it. The time has come! I’ll share my experience with postpartum care for both the child and the mother here. I didn’t know much about children at all, so I had a hard time imagining how to learn everything and where to get reliable information during those early days when you have no energy for anything (I don’t trust social media bloggers)....
Hello everyone! It’s been a while since I last wrote, and that’s because having a little one at home makes maintaining a full-fledged blog quite difficult. Plus, there weren’t many updates to share. But today, I’m finally writing this post as a permanent resident of Canada! Yes, it finally happened—we got PR. I’m incredibly happy to write this post! Whee, just two more years and we can finally apply for citizenship....
After I published my post about pregnancy, a lot of people asked about the birth itself and how things are organized here. Honestly, I think the birth experience is even more individual than prenatal care — it depends on how your contractions go, which hospital you deliver at (at least from what I’ve read on Reddit), which province you’re in, and so on. But I’ll do my best to share from my own, rather not-so-simple, experience....
Hi everyone! We’ve been in Canada for almost three years now, and if they won’t give us citizenship (or even PR), at least a new family member will get a Canadian passport — he arrived on November 9th 🙂 In this post I’ll talk about how prenatal care works in Canada, specifically in British Columbia (though on average it should be pretty similar in other provinces). I won’t be sharing my personal experience, since everyone’s pregnancy is different — I just want to explain the actual process....
