Farmhouse

Barefoot bandit

Our year of transition has begun. We have moved into our new home - a beautiful farmhouse in Moschelle, only 3 km outside of Annapolis Royal. We are renting one side of the house owned by a young family with 3 little girls aged 6 and under. Cale is in heaven. Chickens, cows, dogs, a cat and a pony PLUS a trampoline, tree swing, playhouse and tons of space to run. In our first 24 hours, Cale has stopped wearing shoes, climbed his first tree, learned to check for ticks and held a newborn chick! He refers to the mom and dad next door as 'the farmers' and loves playing with his new best buddies. I think we have a great summer to look forward to.

We also received some positive news about our baby during our latest visit to the IWK's Fetal Assessment Clinic. The echogenic bowel (which appears as bright white in an ultrasound) has faded to the point where the specialists would no longer say the soft marker is present. It was such an enormous and unexpected and relief to hear some reassuring results. I definitely cried a few tears of happiness. It felt so good to know that things will very likely be ok with our little boy.
