Category Archives: North America Life at Wandering Footsteps is often a whirlwind of travel, discovery, and adventure. These past ten weeks have been a whirlwind of a different sort – the whirlwind of being new parents. Whoever said (ahem, Bruno!) that having a baby doesn’t change your life or take up space was wrong! Will we truly be able to travel in a bus with a baby???  You can’t consider yourself a world traveler until you’ve experienced a Canadian winter. This was the challenge posed to Bruno by a friendly neighbor. It’s mid-March – according to the calendar, winter is almost over. Have we survived? What has winter been like? Can we now consider ourselves true world travelers?  The maternity photos are taken, the meals are prepped, the bus is ready(ish). Baby’s belongings have been purchased, we’ve learned and researched as much post-partum info as possible, and we’re settled into nesting mode. I’d say we’re about ready for baby to arrive! Now we just have to wait and wonder when that day will be! (Due date is today, but this post was written three weeks earlier…!)  We’re waiting for a baby, so are “house-bound” again, this time in Bayfield, Nova Scotia, Canada. Between the great relationship we have with our midwives, the yoga studio down the road, and the absolute comfort of our rental house, it seems we made the right call in settling ourselves in Nova Scotia for the winter. Now all we need to do is wait for baby to arrive!  2017 was a year of great change. A new home-on-wheels, a new baby growing in my tummy… this past year has set the stage for an amazing and exciting 2018! Read on to recap some of the highlights and challenges of 2017. Happy New Year, everyone! |
