Mexico: My Perfect Escape

We had an absolutely perfect time on our Mexico trip. It really was one of my very favorite trips of all time, possibly because I've never needed a vacation so much. We stayed at a great resort which was only 40% occupied due to the economy and swine flu scare. So we got great service and always had a beach chair. Everyone at the resort was super nice, so we made lots of friends and ate tons of yummy food.

I had intended to post some pictures on here of our trip, but unfortunately someone (Aaron would now point at me) might have lost a locker key during an excursion and someone (bad person in Mexico) found it and stole our money and our camera. We were upset for an hour until we got back to our hotel and had some drinks and swam. Then we bought a disposable camera for way too much money. So once I develop pictures the old-school way, I'll post them.
I'm sure they'll be great quality. :)

I have lots of fun Mexico stories, but no one wants to read a novel so I'll include my favorite one now and maybe save the others for the rest of the week. Okay, so I've never seen a bidet which is essentially a fancy French "toilet like" device that you use to rinse off after "taking care of business". Well, our room had one. So I think great, I love to try new things. So I bend over it to watch what's going to happen when I turn it on, and I carefully turn the handle expecting to barely see anything come up, and I get a gush of cold toilet water all over my face and chest. Aaron turns around just in time to see me dripping all over it! I never chose to use it on my tush after that considering the force with which it hit me in the face....
Also, I see Dr. Haas in the morning (way too early) and I ovulated again this month on Day 15 while we were gone, so we'll see if my progesterone levels are miraculously any better this month. I'll post again tomorrow!!!

    lol, my aunt in IL has one of those toilets...it came with her new house! I thought it was the coolest thing and tried it and guess what, I ended up with water on my face too! Glad I'm not the only person who can't use that thing!

    Sorry to hear about your stuff getting stolen but it seems like your vacation was wonderful despite your small blunder! I am not a fan of mexico but your trip sounds amazing! I'm not a fan because my husband's friends decided to get married in a small mexican city with little luxaries. We slept in a hut with walls and no glass on the windows, so you shared your bed with spiders, roaches, crabs...eeeew, I get goose bumps thinking about that trip, but your mexican vacation sounds like one I would love! :)

    I'm praying this is your cycle!

Meet Our Little Miracle, Paisley Kate

The post I have been waiting 2 years to write is finally here and I can't really believe it. On Saturday, I woke up at 8:30 a.m. with BAD contractions. By the 2nd one, I knew I was in "real" labor. They were SO different than the braxton-hicks. I got out of bed and decided that I'd take a bath, until water ran down both legs. The pain after that got pretty unbearable immediately and I was having contractions every 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. So, I called Aaron at work to tell him it was "the big day". He decided I was kidding until I nearly leapt through the phone to wring his neck. :) We got to the hospital an hour later and I was dilated to a 4 and having very active contractions. They quickly got me moved to an L&D room. I got my epidural ( AMAZING - we'll talk about this in its own post soon) at a 6 and then my doctor broke my water. (Apparently at home, it had just leaked a pocket of fluid). After he broke my water, labor started picking up ...

The Resurrection

 So here we are.  It's now a blog graveyard.  The followers have long since moved on and infertility is something that I've somewhat put in the past (only considering I don't want any more kids).  So why am I here and writing again?  What's the purpose?   This was my safe place.  It was where I came when everything seemed much too hard and I needed to feel comfort.  I wanted to express myself in a venue that others would reassure me and even understand me.  I still love and have always loved this blog.  It guided me during some of the hardest years of my life, dealing with infertility and miscarriage. And you know... I guess it will help me again now.  Because life is freaking TOUGH.  You know the phrase "I've went through Hell and back"?  Yeah, I feel that in my soul now.  I could have a blowout in the middle lane of the highway during rush hour traffic, manage to pull over my car on the side and call for roadsi...

Santa Claus

I miss blogging.  It's just that I'm trying to minimalize the busy-ness in my life right now because the holidays always make me overwhelmed.  Like I get a bit crazy.  All the gift-giving, shopping, parties, family, friends, drama, food, etc.  Sounds fun to most people but I just do better with simple.   And that word hasn't described my life since giving birth 3 years ago.  Sooo, I go missing from time to time, but I keep up with everyone else's blogs!   This was my mom's attempt at a Christmas card with the kids.  It looks like they were decently enjoying it but the truth is both kids were having fits for absolutely no reason.  She used it anyways. My ornery little stud-muffin playing on the stairs. Graham having a VERY rare fit.  I had to capture the moment. Sweet sibling time in pajamas.  Times like this one melt my heart and make me feel good about my decision to have two kids. Graham was tota...
