On Monday my Mom came over and spent the day.

On Tuesday Sym and I (and Gwen!) went to Yokoyaya and stocked up on stickers, candy and about a thousand sheets of origami paper for a new project I’m dreaming up.


Refusing to sleep in her stroller.
I put up some shelves in my office.

Sym and I went with Jenn to Ikea.

I bought some things I needed for work, as well as new dishes. I recently gotten bored with having all colourful dishes so I decided to switch to white ones (with some pink and red thrown in).

This morning I had an appointment with the endocrinologist, and guess what: my thyroid levels are looking good! Hooray for that. I don’t have to get tested again for six weeks.

I spent the rest of today unpacking and washing and organizing all the things I bought and brought in from storage.

All filled with toys and ready for the kids!
I still have some weird guilt about going back to work early, even though I’m not “going” anywhere. But with Sym I was able to take three years off to spend with just her, so it feels weird that I’ll be having other kids here when Gwen is only nine months old. I hope everything goes alright :/


Good luck tomorrow I’m sure it will go well 🙂
I understand both you guilt and your fear. But you’re a fantastic mom. I’m sure it will be just fine.
Thinking of you!
