PHAB Lifestyle A blog dedicated to a healthy balance

Well it has been way too long since I have done a post.  But things have been a bit busy since I had this little guy! Meet Zaxari Linden Wright born on October 11th, 2011.  It has taken me a while to get some sense of normalcy back and feel a little more human again.  [...]

Ok, stick a fork in me I am done!  I have been given a light at the end of the tunnel and boy am I glad.  You see starting at 35 weeks I developed some high blood pressure which in turn the doctor decided to put me on Moderately Reduced Activity which in a few [...]

Week 3…3…that is 33 weeks already!  The countdown is now on for me.  I saw the Obstetrician  today and we discussed my up and coming c-section.  Since I had a c-section with my last birth and because of my “old” age they really don’t want me going past my due date.  I am fine with [...]

Well on to week 32!  I had J at 35 weeks so I am making sure I am prepared and everything is ready to go at that time…just in case!  So I have 3 more weeks to get my self completely organized.  I had another OB appointment last week and everything is looking good.  My [...]

Last night the hubby said he would like to make supper…of course I said sure!  I also knew that it would involve using his MAK Grill. When he said he wanted to try a recipe he found for cabbage rolls I was game.  I love cabbage rolls.  So far everything we have tried on the [...]

Mmmm…I am just a little behind in my pregnancy journal.  Actually way behind!  Since my last update at 21 weeks life has been a little crazy to say the least.  J got pretty sick with Strep Throat the week before we left for holidays then when we got back he got it AGAIN!  We visited [...]

We took a week off from the city life and headed as a family to British Columbia for a little cottage living by the Shuswap lake with no phones, computers of TV’s it was wonderful and we had a great time. We sat on our butts, relaxed, read, played games, ATE lots! and just plain [...]

We had beautiful weather tonight so we fired up the new grill for some delicious Bison burgers.  The hubby was more than happy to have a chance to cook something else on his grill.
