While I work on getting our summer posts (yes posts) together, I offer our summer via IG moments. This will give a good indication of what we have been up to until I can get our other summer pics up. Thank you kindly for being so patient!
Happy Monday!!!
So much has happened since I last shared. Summer has come and gone and I literally have a million photos to sift through to try and organize some semblance of a blog post. Just know I am working on it. The goal is to get a well-rounded post of the entire summer. YIKES!!! I have my work cut out for me. Sometimes "blog-ations" (is that a thing? I'm sure it's a thing - right?!) are not worth it in the end. Especially when you are me and MUST. Document. Every. Freaking. Moment!!!!
Let's start with our summer on IG. Shall we?
We got caught in the rain...good times!
Meet you back here shortly with a recap...I swear - I'm on it!!!!
I haven't done one of these posts in a while. I could not possibly fit all the IG pics into this collage. I guess you will just have to follow us on IG to see them all.

Wednesday already peeps!!!
I am so far behind on putting up our IG photos. I thought I would narrow it by just putting Nola's first 10 weeks of IG life up. You can really see how much she has changed when you look at the pics this way.
And my all time fav...

Just feeling slightly nostalgic as I wait for this new little girl to join us. I have been trying to remember what it's like to have a new, tiny, little baby to snuggle with. Seems a bit surreal that Hazel was ever that small. Indeed she was...only 4.5 lbs at one point. Here are some of the original smiles for this Happy Friday!!!
And some IG...Feel free to follow us at user name Chasing_Hazel.
Have a great weekend everyone!!!
Good News!!! Hazel's bedroom is all put together and organized. It is not completely done, decor-wise, yet but it is almost fully functional. I will post pics of the "end product" when it is actually the "end product."
Once her room was done, we were able to make progress in the new baby's room too. Very exciting stuff going on around here. The "nesting" process is almost complete and I could not be happier. Looking forward to spending a couple of quiet weeks with my girl and my guy, while we wait for a new level of chaos to ensue.
Here is a catch up on some rather dated IG pics. Follow us at user name Chasing_Hazel. Would love for you to join us. You really do miss a lot when you don't get the captions that go with each pic (I'm pretty funny...I AM! Seriously - Like tell me you don't want to know the caption to the pic 2nd row last on the right)
Happy Friday Everyone!!! Off to pack a couple of hospital bags...
Sometimes dreary Mondays beg for a little IG sunshine. Hope you all had a great weekend. We were busy little beavers trying to get some progress made on the room reno for Hazel. I must admit I am getting a little antsy now that we are 7 weeks away. Nothing a weekend full of painting didn't take care of.
Hope you all had a great weekend!!!!

Happy Monday!!!
I am trying to get a quality post up on this blog. I swear I am!!!!! But I am also trying to settle back in at home and into some of our routines. Also, did I mention I am tired (just a 29.5 week phase I'm sure...fingers crossed).
So, AGAIN here are the IG photos from the cottage trip (of which there aren't many). I took the opportunity to almost totally unplug from social media (even IG...I know it's crazy for me). It was a lovely little break with no distractions. Just time spent with my favourite people.
I will try to make it up to you in the coming posts. Good news is I worked on my birth story...A LOT!!! Stay tuned.
And I will be posting a "Happy Friday" post this week with some of my absolute favourite photos of all time.
Until then...
We're back.... Will post soon...
Exhausted (in a great "we-just-got-back-from-a-super-relaxing-vacation" sort of way)
For now, how 'bout a IG photo dump post.
Happy return!
While our heads are still spinning from an action packed weekend (which means it's going to take me a bit to settle in with new pics and posts for the blog), I thought I would share our very few IG moments from this weekend.
Hope you all enjoyed your weekend!!!
We had a great weekend! Productive on the home-front AND visiting with family from out of town. The kind of weekend that I wish I had the energy to get my camera out for. There were so many moments that I found myself dreaming for the ability to perform telekinesis and that my camera would just come to me. Or even a "Go-Go-Gadget Arm" would have done the trick. Anyway...FAIL!!! I have no pics since I have no superpowers nor did I have the energy to get the camera and well...FAIL (IG is going to have to do for now).
The nesting process has officially begun, starting with big projects like siding the house and purging unnecessary furniture to make room for two bedroom renos with a crib in each. I remember the days not too long ago when I thought we would NEVER have 1 crib, never mind 2. So incredibly shocking where our life has ended up. Needless to say, I am one tired little girl today. Mama needs a rest!!!
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. We would love to hear some of your favourite moments from this weekend. What did you do to celebrate life?
I must have been doing a lot of IG pics lately cause I'm already ready to put another collage out. YIKES!!! Feel free to follow us on IG at user name: Chasing_Hazel or you can check out her Facebook page here.
Happy Monday!!!
Just a quick post today to catch up on some of the IG that's been happening. I truly LOVE IG!!! It's such a great way to connect with other mamas, watch their beautiful kids grow and see what fills their days. It's a big ol' family!!! Not much going on around here. Some spring cleaning, some walking outside, playing with our girl and celebrating birthdays with friends and family. Feel free to check out our Facebook page, Chasing Hazel, for more updates on Hazel.
Hope you all are enjoying your week!!!
Until next time...
Light posts this week. I was working on our chat for the U of W students this weekend. No time to write any posts. We are so excited to go meet and talk to the Human Kinetics students this week.
For now, on this very windy Monday, here is some of our IG Feed.

Enjoy!!!
Hi!!! (I wish I could use the 'wave' emoticon right here) So very kind of you to stop by and meet our little family. Prepare yourself to read about the daily shenanigans of living and loving life with Down syndrome. Oh - I should warn you - sometimes there's this neurotic women who takes control of this space and rants about the 2 tiny humans (ahem…terrorists) that are in current reign of the household. Join the chase!
