Baby on the Move?!?!

Paisley has always been a busy girl.  She isn't content to just sit still for long periods and seems to constantly be exploring her surroundings.  And I've always known that as soon as she can take off, she will.  But I expected to have a few more months of sweet, tiny baby-cuddle time before that happened.

However, she's been rolling for a while now and can maneuver her way across the floor/crib/changing table/etc. in the blink of an eye.  But starting yesterday, she started doing an army crawl on the floor using her elbows to propel her forward.  And twice I caught her pulling her knees underneath her into CRAWL position!!!  

What in the world are we going to do with a CRAWLER???  We are so not ready for a mobile baby.  Let me tell you- we are still trying to figure out how in the world to change a diaper on a baby that immediately does an alligator roll when you lay her down.  I've actually learned how to change it with her on her belly.  And I can also dress her that way.  The child moves around so much in her crib overnight that I spend all night readjusting the video monitor so that I can see her.

But crawling?  Not yet, please.  I just need a bit more time to prepare myself, my pets, and my home for what's coming...

    LOL, unfortunately, they don't wait until you are ready! My little guy has no desire to be mobile, he's just content being in one place. I know he'll get moving when he wants, but for now, I'm grateful for the down time before the new baby comes:). Have fun!

    This makes me laugh! I think E is like the complete opposite...I worry she'll be a super late crawler. She doesn't even like to roll over and has never rolled from her back to her belly. Sounds like Miss P is an active little girl!

    She is one busy girl. Your right, it all happens so quick. Way to quickly for us parents. She's about to give you a workout of a lifetime though so get ready.

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...
