Mama in the City: Mama in the City is on Vacation

Well, Hello There!

Mama in the City since 2008 and blogging since 2009!

Hi! I'm Andrea, a 30 something girl who loves living the downtown lifestyle and didn't want to give it up once I started a family. I live in beautiful Vancouver city right along the seawall and three years ago I had my first baby.

My first apartment baby is now a full on boy and we struggle with finding space in our condo for his growing toy collection. I'm also a new mum to our second apartment baby, born January 13, 2012!

I have a husband who is an excellent cook and takes amazing photos. I work as a labor and delivery nurse and really love the work that I do and gave birth to baby #2 at my work place.

I use this space to write about my family and to share my passion about breastfeeding, birth and parenting. I have a fantastic purse collection and have loved watching it grow, mostly lovely gifts over the years from my husband. I currently have a closet full of purses that are too small or impractical to fit a diaper or sippy cup in, and so they are on hold for future years.

Have a question or a comment? Email me! I also love to read comments left on posts, so feel free to leave me a note!

Mama in the City is on Vacation

Posted by Unknown August 14, 2009

I left my dear husband to fend for himself for one week and took our boy to visit his grandparents and cousins for a full week. I am sure my husband will enjoy some solitude and restful nights and we will enjoy some fun cousin play time and I will have some good sisterly visits. We are taking lots of pictures and strolling around parks with the sea breeze fluffing up my hair. I am pretty sure I over packed but you never know what might happen over one week away from home. I am trying my very best to cram everything into the last few weeks of my maternity leave. I am pretty sure the full time shift work will hit me hard and these adventures will be a lot more sparse.

Here is Ben helping me 'get organized' for our little holiday. Actually, his talent of pulling everything out of the packed suitcase might be more unhelpful than helpful but I won't be too bothered about that! Instead I distracted him by allowing him to play with my husbands camera equipment.
