there and back again

This morning Max decided that we should all go to the hospital. After his 6am meal he threw up what we believe to be a bit of blood. Neither Carrie or I thought it was cause for too much concern because he didn't seem to be in any pain. So I left for work, Carrie still being a bit anxious decided to put her fears to rest and called "telehealth." Well after talking to them Carrie called me and told me that we should take Maximilian to the ER. So I told my customer that I was leaving, drove home, picked up Carrie and Max and off to the hospital we went.

By 10am we where back home with a clean bill of health. The nurses and doctors couldn't find anything wrong with him so they gave him a NYD status and sent us on our way. It looks like this was an isolated incident and that there is nothing to worry about.

Baby Bits

the other day Max was making funny noises, as he does when he is just getting to sleep. so I grabbed the camera and tried to make a sound recording of him. It didn't work out so well, there was too much static noise so I switched over to camera mode and took some pictures because he looked so peaceful sleeping there. then the thought occurred to me that I could I could change over to macro mode and possible get some neat close up shots.

I think they are pretty neat so I am sharing them here.

Birth Announcement

so it's a month late, but it's better late then never right.

together again

Grandma, I'm glad you get to see your sweetheart on Valentine's Day. You two were an awesome example of love for all of us. 

They say that Friday the 13th is supposed to bring bad luck, but I beg to differ. Today my Grandma got to go home.

what a view

For my job I get to go to some pretty neat places. Awhile back I got to work in the Rogers Center and hang out in the Blue Jays locker room and in their dug out. It would probably be more amazing if I actually cared about baseball, but I suppose it was still pretty neat. 

Well this past week I got to do some work in the CN Tower. The best part of all is that I go to be there first thing in the morning and see the sun coming up over the lake. There was steam coming up from the ice, making a layer of clouds a few meters up from the water.

I took a few pictures while I was there. The first is a shot looking west, the second is looking south towards the lake and the third is looking down through the glass floor.

The New Dad

I really feel the need to let everyone know how wonderful Jared is.  I really don't know where I would be with out him.  He gave me the most amazing support during labour,  he showed the most tender side of him I have ever seen when Max was finally 'out' and he was able to care for both of us when we were recovering in the hospital and he continued looking after us the whole week.  The first week home so memorable. I love seeing Max and his Daddy together and reading the Count of Monte Christo to him (don't worry it is the easy reader version). 

I have already added Dad to the list of great things Jared is. 

trying to pretend to be a photographer

and these are the results I get.

a few more

Bryan made a demand request for more photos of Maximilian. At first I was disinclined to acquiesce his request, but then I decided to accommodate.

So here you go, more Max.

serious this time

a quick photo to tide you all over

Here is a picture of Maximilian. I will post a few more later on. You know after Carrie and I get some sleep and something to eat.

PS it is fantastic to see all the comment posts, it felt like you guys where right there with us.

okay the photo is going to have to wait. this internet connection is not allowing me to upload the photo. I will try again later but it too may have to wait till we are home (tomorrow morning if all goes well)
