Olivia Grace Affleck After her first bath
Just minutes old
Looking a little gassy!!! Or maybe about to cry


Vital stats:

7lbs 7.5oz, 21 inches, born Feb 22, 2007 at 9:58 a.m.

Mom and baby are doing great. A little sore and a little tired but TOTALLY in LOVE!! We think she is pretty precious. She is such a good baby. Hardly cries, eats well, sleeps good but mom is still a bit paranoid about leaving her in her bassinet because of an incident which we will expand on at a later date. Just wanted to post a few for all to see. I will up load the rest of them to my Photodot link when I get the chance.


Love to all!!

Happy Love Day



Yes it may be a fact that I am in Saskatoon and Kevin is on the road hauling barley to Lethbridge, and we won't see eachother until tomorrow and we didn't get eachother any gifts for valentines day but I had to acknowledge the day and my wonderful husband.
This pic is about 3 yrs old but we are dressed so nice I had to post it. Plus I am wearing red which is the colour of the day!!

It is hard to believe we have been married for 4 and 1/2 years!! Where has the time gone. We really don't celebrate this day the way we did when we were dating but it is a good reminder for us, helps us to remember to tell the other that we love and appreciate them...although that is something that we should all be doing on a daily basis.

We decided this year flowers and gifts were a waste and we would just share a nice dinner together out somewhere because it may be the last one for a very long time. Any suggestions??
If you are not Kevin disregard this last bit and if you are Kevin then.....I LOVE YOU!!! Thank you for all the things you do for 'us'.

Orange Alert


Life is sort of at a stand still waiting for this little bundle to arrive. We have the family on high alert. It's like the terrorist alert colors in the states. The Afflecks and Arnotts are on Orange Alert. Red will be when I actually go into labor.

So my first due date has past and still no baby. I am not even really feeling remotly bad or that I might go into labor. Feb 10th was the due date set by u/s because of the size of the baby. My original due date was the 15th of Feb. I am not holding my breath that anything will happen before then.

On a positive note...the weather is supposed to warm up on wed. Thrusday is supposed to be like -5 and we should have temps around 0 by the weekend. My mom keeps telling me this baby will come when the weather changes because that is what happened to her. I hope she is right. All I do know forsure is that before March rolls around I will be having a baby.

Too cute....


Satisfied the Starbucks craving yesterday with some friends. Went to Lawson heights mall and had a chai tea latte and some good conversation. Some times you just need to get out and socialize whether you are a mom at home with your kid(s) or an expectant mother who is off work and patienly waiting the arrival of her child who refuses to come out.

These two little cuties had a blast playing in the car. I had them wave as they drove by. We went for a walk through the mall and they were holding hands as they strolled. It was very cute.



Aiden was his usual cuddly self. He loves to be held and cuddled especially if it is by his mommy. He had a good snooze while we cruised the mall. Such a good boy. I can only hope that my child will be as cuddly as him.

Any how not much action on the home front. Kevin came back from the farm today. He has been hauling barley to Lethbridge. Glad to have him home. Now we just need the baby to come and we'll be set. He is going to the blades game tonight!! GO blades GO!!! I on the other hand am going to go to mom and dad's and relax.

Thoughts of Roxy


I really wish I could go out side and chase that mail man.

It has been a really long a boring day. I so look forward to the dog park. My master is soooo lazy today and so I don't get to go. I LIVE for the dog park. All of my friends are there I can chase them and I can roll in the snow and have all sorts of fun!

My masters went to the Dr. today and they informed me that is baby is not yet ready to come out. Apparently my master is no futher progressed than she was last week when she went to the dr. There was some good news though.....the dr. told them that she would gaurantee that this time next month she would not be pregnant any more!

Man it looks nice out side!!! Only -21!! Perfect weather for a run.
