Doctor's Visit

Little Miss Priss went to the doctor today and she's growing like a weed. She's already 9 pounds, 2 ounces and 22 inches long. So that puts her in the 75% for length and 50% for weight. Her huge head is 15 inches and is between the 75-90 percentile. I'm telling you- it was NOT fun to push out. Things will NEVER be the same!

She's currently fast asleep in the moby and I am happy to report that she has been sleeping about 4 hour stretches the past 4 nights. I keep waiting for that to fall apart again, but I'm sure enjoying it while it lasts. And although I feel guilty ever single day that she sleeps with us, it all melts away at night when she snuggles her tiny adorable body up next to mine and throws her sweet chubby hand up on my chest. Mmmm....I love it!!!

I forgot to tell our bath story from the other night. I've figured out that bathing with her is just easier and we both end up clean that way. So, we just get in the tub which she loves and Aaron points out that there seems to be a bit of something floating in the water with us.

As I'm getting a little grossed out, he speaks for Paisley (in a tiny girl voice) and says, "oh mom, it's just a little poop. Big deal!" It was hilarious and a good example of why you don't bathe with your baby. But being the disgusting new mom that I am, I went ahead and finished her bath, handed her to her daddy to get her p.j's on, and then washed my hair... yep, life is good.

    Hey, a little poop in the bath tub won't will anyone! Enjoy it while she's still so tiny!

    Wow...I bet that was a surprise! Funny story! I'm so glad she's sleeping a little better. It is amazing what a difference a couple hours make.

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 ...

Blogging Failure

The fact that I blog less than I exercise is not a good sign.  I miss you all.  And I'm glad to be where I'm at because the problem is that my cup runneth over.  Life is crazy.  The kids are growing and becoming real people and exploring and I'm still struggling to figure out how to parent a VERY challenging 3-year-old. Dear Paisley is actually quite a joy to raise.  She is spunky and energetic and funny.  We desperately struggle to stifle our laughter as we discipline her for things that I never expected her to do or say.  She is the center of attention and loves her baby brother like there's no tomorrow.  I've never met a more opinionated and divalicious child though.  She picks every piece of clothing she wears, which toy she brings in the car, exactly what she is willing to eat, how her hair is fixed, which door she uses to get in the car, etc.  I hear you out there judging me.  I would have to until I gave birth to Whitney ...

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...
