There's an indoor playground at the Terwilligar Rec Centre - kids under two are free, don't know about older kids.
We've been to many restaurants with our little guy (who is about to turn one) without any issues. If I'm…

I wish someone had told me that...I starved and was thirsty for the first month until I "woke" up enough to put 2 and 2 together and realize maybe just maybe keeping stashes might be a good idea.

Thank you for the feedback!
Baby Girl arrived on Dec 30th and I've found it of great help to have snacks and water all around!

Thank you so much ladies.
Connie, I will work on #2 and #5 this weekend. We have the rest of the stuff under control. Our freezer is full of meals and cookies! Glad those dishes are done - love the cooking, not a fan of the clean…

2 - set up 'nursing/feeding' station in your living room and baby's room/your room. You WILL get hungry when nursing. Water, granola…

I worked in Health Care when pregnant with #1 and #2 and Capital Health required me to get a flu shot. My OBGYN said it was perfectly safe and even recommended it! And my hubby always gets one at work too.

if you just want a place to visit, try CafeOPlay or Javamama

No, mine never talked to me about the flu shot before or after kids. I know some women/parents that get it every year and others that never get it. Seems to be a personal choice.

We went at the 2 week mark after the birth of both of our children. I wanted to feel comfortable leaving my child without making it a huge deal so we just took 1 hour to go to a local restaurant and have dinner. My parents taught me that dates are…
