Introduction to our family


Most of you know us, but for those who don't. Here is a little introduction. 

I grew up in Coronach, Saskatchewan. I have one sister and two amazing parents. Robert was born in Germany, and lived in Ontario , but mostly grew up in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. He has 2 brothers and a sister and his parents live on an average just west of Moose Jaw. 

Robert and I met in my grade 12 year. He was my graduation escort. I then moved to Moose Jaw to take office education. Guess you can say I fell in love and wasn't interested in my schooling. So I took a few months, got a job and decided I wanted to follow in (half) my mothers footsteps and work in the healthcare field. Decided to go take my Continuing Care Assistant course, which I'm so glad I did. Because I love being a CCA. I worked in a private care home called Chez Nous before we had our first child. I worked home care in Moose Jaw and briefly as a CCA at Providence Place as well. 
While finishing my course I started working at the Health Centre in Coroanch very casual, when I visited mom and dad. 

Robert and I got married in Moose Jaw in June of 2009. The very start to our beautiful life together. 

On December 3rd, 2009, we were boasting with excitement. We were finally getting our wish by finding out we were pregnant. The best news we could have ever been blessed with. 
On August 12th, 2010 after a hard labour and delivery we welcomed our beautiful baby girl Quinn Sarah Trethewey. She was/is perfect ❤️
She is our world and the most beautiful gift from God. 

In the Spring of 2012 we decided we would love to welcome another baby. Robert was working very hard getting his 1A with plans of applying to the Coal mine in Coronach. I loved this town that I grew up in and wanting the same for our family. He got the job in June of that year and we were very excited to leave the city life. As if we didn't have enough excitement going on, that we found out we were pregnant again. Very excited for Quinn to be a big sister. We would find out this time, in which we would be blessed with a boy! 
On March 10, 2013 we had a beautiful boy Hudson Robert Trethewey. He was perfect. Delivery went very well. 

He has been such a wonderful boy. So much more busy then Quinn ever was. He sure likes to keep us on our toes 😉

Hudson was a growing boy. He was right on track with his measurements and milestones for a few months of his life. 
He then started to be delayed a bit. He crawled late. He mostly just bum scooted. He never walked until he was 22 months. He wasn't talking, to which I was complete oblivious to the fact as I was so concentrated on his walking for all those months. Public health was recommending he be refferred to speech therapy. Which I thought was the stupidest Idea ever. Even my Dr thought he would be fine and not to worry until he was 3-4. I then had a second opinion from public health in our own health region this time and she suggested getting in, since the wait lists were long (just in case he needed it) 
Well, I'm glad we did. He DID need it. We have been going to speech therapy (2 hour drive) every week in 10 week blocks (10 weeks on and 10 week breaks). We have been doing this since May. It has been a long struggle as all he was ever saying was "Ba". 

This blog is the struggles and progress, roadblocks and milestones he will be hitting or going through as a child with severe speech delays.
