We're going on a Cruise!!!

After much thought on the matter, we have decided to go on the cruise. I really appreciate all of your advice on the matter and I'm glad to hear that so many of you are traveling out-of-the-country even later than I will be. My doctor has given me the thumbs up since my pregnancy isn't high-risk. Even though it's hard to convince myself of that considering what we've been through.

So, I booked it with the travel agent tonight. We did put insurance on it for the 1st time ever just in case we need to cancel. Even though it's only 4 weeks away.

We are leaving from Orlando, Florida. We stop in CocoCay, Bahamas; St. Thomas, Virgin Islands; and St. Marteen, Netherlands Antilles. I'm REALLY excited to go to the last two (I've been to CocoCay) and I'm excited for Aaron to go on a cruise since he's never been.

Oh, and I've finally been feeling little Gil move around a ton this weekend. (S)he kicked hard enough that Aaron even felt it this morning! What an incredible feeling. I am continuously reminded how blessed I am to be incubating this sweet little baby.

    YAYYYY! A cruise!!! Very exciting. I am so jealous, never been on a cruise. Lived in Hawaii for awhile, but I'm really anxious to get my toes in the sand again! haha Are you getting a cute preggo bathing suit. My friend had a really cute polka dot one, and I thought it was the cutest thing ever. She felt like a whale, but I thought she looked perfect! :)

    So I think I saw your hubby at the Redbud today. I think you were with him but I didn't get a good look at your face? I kept thinking,"Where do I know him from?". If it wasn't you guys then he has a twin running around! Have fun on your cruise!!

    I'm not sure what's better - a cruise or a wiggling, kicking baby. Wait - how about a wiggling, kicking baby ON a cruise? You are living the good life.

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...
